Once you rounded the corner, he spun around, still holding onto your wrist.
"What the Hell where you thinking?! You could have gotten raped! Or killed, or.. Or both!" He shouted, His lagoon blue eyes filled with anger & concern. Before you could answer, you heard someone call your name.
"Ember?!" It was Beth. Andy suddenly vanished.
*Jesus..* You turned around just in time to see your roommates running towards you.
"Where have you been??" Beth asked, frantically.
"Are you alright?!" Zach shouted.
"What happened?!" Lily gasped, reaching up & touching your cheek. You winced, you had forgotten about the slap.
"I'm alright, I'm sorry. I ran into the dude that was hitting on me in the club. I'm fine, he slapped the shit out of me, but I'm fine." You explained. They embraced you in a group hug.
"Let's get you home so we can put some ice on that thing. Jesus.." Lily said, grabbing your wrist & dragging you towards the car.
On the way home, you kind of zoned out. Thinking about everything that had happened. Why did he save you? Why was he so concerned? What did he mean "We need to talk"? Why did it feel like you were living in a cliche romance novel? You sighed, resting your head against the window.
*What is going on & why me?*
Once you got home, you grabbed an icepack, pressed it to your swollen cheek. Said your goodnights, & walked to your room. You were worn out. Mentally, emotionally, physically.. You just wanted to sleep. You threw yourself on your red & black bed, & let sleep engulf you.
