Its been a couple of days now and Blake still hasn’t showed up for school. Also on top of that we still have a project that we need to finish. Did I mention that it is due this Friday. There is no way that I am finishing it by myself. Not gonna happen.

I am currently walking to his house. I need to see what is going on. One second he is spending every second of his time with me. Then next he wants nothing to do with me. Thats at least what  I think.

I finally arrive at his house and knock and there is no answer. So I peek through the windows and spot him. He is currently talking on the phone. Or should I say more like screaming into the phone.

“I don’t have your fucking money right now. I told you I will have it next week!” I was lucky that I could eavesdrop on his conversation because the window was open.

“I don’t care any more. Once I have you stinking money I am out. I’m done!” He rubbed his hand down his face in frustration. “Fine I’ll meet you there in ten” He ended the call and put his phone back into his pocket. He then went up stairs.

I finally let out the breath that I was apparently holding in. I put my hands in my hair and started thinking. Things running through my mind. Is he some type of murder? Is he a drug dealer? Is he in a gang? Oh god what have I gotten myself into. Why did I let him inside of my house. Why did I let him hang with me. Let alone kiss me. But his kisses felt so good. I just didn’t want them. I felt like I needed them That if he didn’t kiss me then I would wither away. But I have put my foot down and made sure that we didn’t do that. God knows what would happen. I lose control of my own body everytime he touches me.

I hear come back down the stairs and then I hear him open then slam the door. I round the corner to the front of his house. He has his hood up. It looks like he is heading to the park. So I follow him. When I said that if I had to follow him. I was dead ass.

I make sure that I am a good distance behind him. I can’t have him suspect anything.

When he finally reaches the park he doesn’t quite go to the park like I expected. Instead he crosses the park and head into the woods. What the hell?

I’m still on his trail.

He enters the woods and just keeps walking until he walks into a little wood cabin. The whole time I was following him I had to make sure that I didn’t step on anything twigs or sticks. Let alone fall. Now that would be embarrassing. I made it in one piece. I saw him enter, but then he came back out after five minutes.

Thats is when the mystery guy through a punch at Blake. Blake stumbled a little but didn’t fall. But he never threw a punch. Never fought back.

The guy just kept punching him until he fell down. He still didn’t bother. Then that jackass started to kicks him in his sides. Over and over and over again. I couldn’t take anymore.

Before I realized what was happening. I came out from my hiding spot and yelled “STOP. STOP IT NOW!!” All heads turn towards my direction. Shit what did I just do.

I looked down and saw Blakes eyes. They were practically falling out of his head, They were that big in shock. I gave him a weak smile and then ran over to him. I crouched down” Oh my god are you ok Blake. You should’ve fought back. Why the hell didn’t you fight back Blake?”

“What the hell are you doing here?”

"I came to your house to talk to you. I was worried because you haven’t been showing up to school and we still have that project to do which is due this Friday just so you know. I didn’t want to do it by myself. So I decided to go over but then I heard you talking on the phone. Then you stormed off. Now here I am”

“You should have never came. This is my own problem not yours” He spat out some blood. I was just about to say something when jerkface spoke up.

“Well well well. Look what we have here boys” I gulped. I did not like the sound of that.

“Look the little princess is scared”

“I am not scared. So how about you shut it. You already did enough”

He took a step closer.

I took a step back.

“You don’t know who I am. You don’t know what I am capable of doing. I could tear you apart in seconds. Just like I did to your little boyfriend”

“He is not my boyfriend. So you got your facts wrong”

“I never have my facts wrong. I am always right. He might not be your boyfriend now. But he will soon. But its too sad that you won’t get to see that happen. If this little shit doesn’t pay me the money from the cocaine that he stole. If he doesn’t bring me my money by then end of next week. Then he will be getting a bullet between his eyes”

“Or”

Oh god what else.

"Or if he doesn’t give me my money it will be you” He pointed to me “Getting the bullet between your eyes”

Now my face has scared written across my forehead.  “Whoa there. What the hell did I do to you. Last time I checked I wasn’t in whatever you guys are in” 

“Well then it looks like you just joined” He turned towards Blake “I mean it Blake. If you don’t have my money it will be all your fault that the pretty girl will be dead. What would you tell her family” Then he turned towards me “I will be keeping an eye on you. Everywhere you go there will be eyes watching your every move. So I would be careful”

He gave Blake one more kick then left. I rushed over to Blake and helped him up. He couldn’t even stand up straight by himself.

“Put as much weight as you can onto me without hurting me I’m bring you to my house so I can fix you up.

We finally arrived at my house about a half an hour later. I took longer than I expected. I was lucky because my mom was gone for the weekend. I carefully brought him upstairs to my room and layed him down on my bed.

I went to the bathroom and grabbed a face cloths. Then I went back into the my room and told him to take his shirt off.

“Why?”

“I need to clean you up”  

He tried lifting it over his head but failed. I knew that I wouldn’t be able to. So I went to my desk and pulled out a pair of scissors.

“What are you doing”

“I need to cut your shirt. I know for a fact that I can’t do it. So this is my only option” I walked over to him and  started to cut his shirt right through the middle. Started at the bottom and ended at the top. I pulled his shirt to either side of him and expected his bruises. He had some on both sides right under his rib cage. I don’t know what got into me but I glided my finger very gently over each bruise that I found. He shivered in response. He also looked like he was in pain.

“I’m sorry. Did I hurt you?”

“Nah. That actually felt good”

I blushed. I always seem to blush when I am around him.

“Stop blushing like that. It turns me on” I blush again. I turn away and grabbed the clothes. I begin washing the dried blood from his face. The whole time I looked straight at him. He did the same.

When I was done. I told him that I will be right back.

I came back with advil and handed it to him with the glass of water. He then laid his head back down and closed his eyes.

“I am so sorry that this happened to you”

“You shouldn’t be. And you should have never followed me in the first place”\

“I know and i’m sorry but I was just worried about you. You seemed really pissed when you left”

He opened up his eyes and looked straight at me.  “You need to promise me something. I need you to promise that  whatever happens to me. You won’t don’t anything drastic. I want you just to go on with your life”

I looked straight at him said.

“There is no need for promises. Everything is going to turn out alright. We will get through this together”
