You are Confined Only by the Walls you Build

Alaska,
I chewed the inside of my cheek as I glanced around, trying to find a way out of this situation. "Alaska. Who the hell is it," He snapped as he stepped closer to me. "Get the fuck away from me," I said as I pushed past him only to be grabbed by the arm and pulled back. "What the hell!" I exclaimed. "I can call the cops and your father right now," He hissed. "Who. Is. It." I couldn't do anything. I was stuck. "Kolton Matthews," I told him. I could have possibly just ruined his life by saying his name. Cody stared at me. "Oh this is very interesting." He grinned. "You're sneaking away with someone who works for your father? I'm sure he would be pleased to hear that." "Cody you can't tell him! Please!" I begged. "I'll do anything." I shouldn't have said that. Cody tilted his head to the side. "Anything?"

Kolton,
I ran a hand through my hair as I leaned against the counter, smiling at hearing Tessa's giggling in the other room. I breathed in, ready to see Alaska walk through that door right now.

Alaska,
"I really need to go Cody," I told him trying to ignore his question. "Come home with me," He said sternly. I gasped, "No! I would never!" I exclaimed before he pulled me in and pressed his lips against mine. I quickly pulled away, "What the hell Cody!" I yelled. "You said anything. Come home with me." He murmured. I looked at him, then smacked him across the face before I took off in a run. Kolton was screwed; I was screwed. I wasn't sure how long I ran but I could see Kolton's house in view. I had tears streaming down my face from being so overwhelmed. I fumbled to get out my key as I unlocked the door, trying to keep myself from crying.

Kolton,
I grinned as I saw the door open and Alaska enter. But it soon fell as I saw her flustered and almost in tears. "Alaska,"I said as I quickly went over to her,"Hey, what's wrong,"I said taking her things from her then placing them on the table.

Alaska,
I looked over at him, "I'm so sorry," I said as I tried to control my breathing. "But it was Cody. And he found me. And then he interrogated me. Kolton, I couldn't not lie. He would've known. He tried taking me home and he kissed me and now we're all screwed," I said all very quickly. I was just so freaked out I wasn't thinking straight.

[lauren.]

Kolton,
I glanced over at where the living room was. I took her hand and lead her back to the bedroom so we were out of ear shot of Tessa. I shut the door not really understanding what was going on,"Cody fucking kissed you?" yeah, I caught that part and I wasn't very happy about it.

[haileyjordan]

Alaska,
I sighed and looked up at him "Yes he kissed me Kolton, but that's not the important part. He knows I'm with you. He's going to tell my father." I said as more tears ran down my face, "I screwed everything up I'm so sorry."

[lauren.]

Kolton,
I pulled her into my arms, kissing her forehead,"You didn't screw anything up, don't think that,"I sai. I could loose my job... but I knew that when I told Alaska she could move in. Everything will be okay...

[haileyjordan]

Alaska,
I shook my head, "I did Kolton. I'm so sorry. I couldn't do anything else," I said as I cried. I was breaking down; I could have just ruined Kolton's life. He needs this job. For himself; for Tessa.

[lauren.]

Kolton,
I gathered her in my arms, sitting down on the bed. "I understand babe. Please don't cry,"I said softly as I kissed her forehead, rubbing her back. I could find another job..maybe not one as well paying but I could find another one.

[haileyjordan]

Alaska,
I sobbed into his arms. It was all my fault. "It's not okay though, Kolton. Even you know that." I said. Cody was going to tell me dad. He was going to take me away. I felt my chest tighten and my breathing became heavy. I was having an anxiety attack.

[lauren.]

Kolton,
Shit. "Alaska, breathe. Come sit down,"I said as I led her over to the couch and sat her down. "We'll work it out,"I said breathing in deeply. I couldn't stand her being like this, it hurt.

[haileyjordan]

Alaska,
I tried to calm down, but my brain was going against me. "You don't understand," I said as I cried, putting my face in my hands. "How will you be able to provide for Tessa after I ruined it? I should just go," I said as I got back up, my legs shaking underneath me.

[lauren.]

Kolton,
My heart instantly tightened as I stood up with her,"Alaska, no. Please stay. I've been able to support Tessa without that job also. I'll find something, we're not even sure if I've lost my job yet,"I said as I pulled her into my arms, holding her closely to me. I didn't want to let her go afraid she wouldn't come back.

[haileyjordan]

Alaska,
I quietly cried into Kolton's chest before my cries finally began to die down. I looked up at him, "What if my father takes me away?" I asked him. That was a huge possibility, but even though I was an adult he still treated me like a child.
