A small tiny gasp was heard.

She looked at Lin in disbelief and shock. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Her eyes were protruded out of her socket.

"Y-you?" She shuttered. Her mouth was slightly opened but managed to close it. Adrian seemed to find this beguiling but didn't comment.

"See, we're sorry okay." Lin started but Adrian scoffed. "Well, I'm sorry. Our aim wasn't your dad but Jackie and her husband." Lin said feeling ashamed even mentioning it.

"It's ok," Ariana said shocking herself and the boys. "I forgive you both." She told again shocking herself more. She didn't know why she was saying that but it made her feel better in the slightest.

"Sure? You're fucking serious?" Lin asked cussing in front of her for the first time they'd started talking.

She nodded. "What has been done has been done. I can't change the past." She told, smiling sadly. Adrian attentively watched her looking for some sort of lie in her eyes but found none. Never in his life has he find someone like this before, so forgiving and beautiful.

"Thank you so much," Lin said submerging her in a hug. He swore, he had tears already in his eyes. She wriggled her wrist out of Adrian's to hug Lin, squeezing him in the process.

"I love you," Lin muttered in her ear. She giggled and muttered too in his ear. "I love you too." She told but unknown to her, Adrian heard everything. Jealousy filled his heart as he watched them both. He rolled his eyes and looked away feeling a spang of hurt in his heart.

"Okay now. You must be hungry. Let's go for Lunch." Lin said tangling hands together with her.

They aimlessly walked together while I stayed at their back and watched them, hands in hands. It was killing the hell out of me to see them this close together. I tucked my hands into my pocket and followed them to lunch. I wasn't hungry but I was ready to stay just for Ar-Lin.

"What will you like to eat princess?" Lin asked calling her with that nickname I hated so much. He knew how I feel about it and he still called her.

"Hamburger and cheese." She screeched happily.

Narrator's P.O.V

They made their way back to their usual table as they dopped their tray on the table and began grinding it down hungrily. Adrian watched the girl, Ariana, feeling a small emotion coming up. He killed her father and she forgave him? He thought. He had never seen any girl like that before in his life he spent on earth.

"Aren't you hungry?" She asked breaking him away from his thoughts. He hummed in response to 'no' and went back to his phone ignoring the girl's glare. She continued eating making random comments on what Lin said and sometimes taking peeks at Adrian. She was still afraid of him but she had forgiven him and his wrongs so there was nothing to be afraid of and she knew that.

"I'll be back." She muttered wanting to go on her sneaky trips to look for Tom. She knew where he'd be.

"Where?" Lin asked curious to know when he saw the gleam of evil in her eyes. She smirked at Lin. "I want to go find tom!" She announced ready to leave but hold on her hand stopped her.

"You go no fucking place! You're going to stay here and eat your food!" Adrian said, his protective mode activated. The little girl pouted at what he said and glared at him perilously but it only came out cute like a kitten.

"Why?" She moped. He growled softly and toughened his hold on her even more but not too tight to hurt her.

"Haven't you heard of bad table manners?" He asked furrowing his thick eyebrow. She watched him, observing his feature. He was gold of pure handsomeness. She gasped mentally of what she thought. Of course, she wasn't lying but why would she think that? She blushed to herself unaware of what happens when she blushed. It spread around her cheek and neck. Adrian smirked mentally curious to know what got her red.

He hoped it was only him that did that.

"But I miss Tom and I want to go see him." She argued, again and again, getting Adrian frustrated. His jaw ticked.

Miss? Does she miss him?

"You miss that thing?" He questioned. She nodded happily, trying to wiggle her away from him just as before.

"Well, go then. But don't come back here crying your hole out when he hurts you." Adrian mentioned releasing her hands. She squealed and quickly hugged Adrian before running off to find him, tom.

"Whipped!" Lin coughed out. A glare was shot at him making him chuckle.

She searched out calling out for Tom's name in the hall. She'd check the basketball field, swimming pool area and even the hall but he wasn't anywhere to be found. She sighed missing her Cheese and burger she abandoned. She really wanted to talk to Tom about something. She hadn't see Jules or Chloe since she came to school.

"What a fine piece of ass." Someone flagged. She slowly turned around to be met with someone unfamiliar, a dark vibe coming from him.

"Um..W-who are you?" She shuttered, afraid. By the corner of his eyes, he had a long arrow of a tattoo attached there and he looked scary to her. She felt intimidated as well.

"Name's Mark." She told eying her down from head to toe. She felt scared just at the sight of him. He didn't seem or looked like a good person. She lowered her skirt lower from being watched.

"And you must be Ariana. A pretty name for a pretty girl." He continued taking longer strides to her until she was trapped between the walls. Her adrenaline was elevating to its fullest as she realized she was all alone in the hallways. She didn't know who this guy was and she didn't like him one bit. Tears filled her eyes as she tries to look anywhere from the dark coffee eyes that watched her.

"I-i need to go somewhere." She croaked out hating the way her voice sounded. She was a cry baby and she hated it. She couldn't help but think back to the time the guy at the party abused her.

"Where? It's Lunch period and being here with my Lunch-." He trailed off looking at her full chest. He cupped her cheek in which she flinched.

"Right here. I need you." He whispered tarrying his hands up to her thigh. She whimpered feeling that same energy she got from that drunk guy she met at the party. Her small hands tried prying him off my chest but he didn't bulge.

"P-please stop!" She spoke softly. A dark, humour laugh was forced. "Baby, don't say that." He continued caressing her thigh. Her eyes were closed from the contact and she secretly prayed for someone to save her from 'him' again. She gasped when she felt his hands towing her underwear. Her blood was rushing abruptly in her vein.

He leaned in to kiss her cheek. She got that as her chance to run. She quickly ran away from him to the Cafeteria. Her eyes were soaked from crying. Her small legs carried her to the Cafeteria where she burst opened still with the guy at her back. Just when she entered the room, he grabbed her by her waist and she was crushed to him. He groaned when he felt her lower bottom on his lower body.

The look on Adrian's face was enough to kill, if it were possible looks could kill. His hands were balled into fists when he saw Ariana in the hall with someone holding her by her waist. His eyes softened when he saw his angel crying. Her eyes were soaked and her chubby cheeks were pale.

"You bitch!" Mark growled ready to drag her by her hair but a punch came landing his way, on his face.

"What did you fuck did you do to her!?" Adrian growled grabbing Ariana by the waist and hid her beside him. Mark held his bloody cheek and probably a broken jaw in surprise. His eyes glowed in anger when he saw Adrian blocking him from Ariana. He looked at Adrian from top to bottom before swallowing loudly.

"S-sorry, m-."

Another blow came landing on his cheek with 3 slaps in a roll-on his cheek. He fell to the floor in pain and with a growl. Blood seeping out from his nose and mouth.

"I don't know who the fuck you are but stay away from Ariana! Am I understood?" He asked the poorly beaten guy who now had a tear on his cheeks.

"Yes." He murmured shooting Ariana an apologetic look.

The whole room was quiet as they stared in amusement. What a drama they just saw.

He turned to look at Ariana who was giggling softly to herself when she saw Mark crying secretly from shame. She had almost forgotten she was almost raped.

"Are you okay, baby?" He asked her cupping her squishy cheeks in his hands. She smiled gratefully and hugged him sending a wink at Mark who growled in anger.

A/n

Hey guys! I'm going to be very honest with you. I'd written a draft like this on this chapter and again!! I mistakenly deleted it again! Can you believe that? First, the draft deleted was Ariana who didn't forgive Lin and Adrian but I had to change something at least to make you smile. I spent all my time writing that draft and I was about to copy and paste it to Wattpad (I wrote it in Wordpad) but I deleted it all. Now, I'd written this and I'm super happy about how this went.

But come on! Why are niggas unto this girl, like she doesn't like you, bro...)

Question of the day

Were you expecting Ariana to have forgiven them both?

Oh, my freaking god! He called her baby. That's so cute!

Hope you guys enjoy it? You can leave down some questions if you have one. I'll reply to you.
