Heart of Fire

A few hours later I was starting to feel a bit better. I could walk on my own with out getting dizzy. And Andy was being so sweet to me- a little too sweet. I could sense that it wasn't going to last for too long. I was surprised it lasted for the hours that it did.

Ashley got me water and carried me around until I politely told him that I thought I could walk. The tension between him and Andy seemed to be growing. They were both trying to help me out, it almost seemed like they were trying to out do each other. But honestly I wasn't complaining.

I was never the one to get any attention, especially from boys. Nicki was always the one to take them before I could get a chance. I didn't complain about that either though. I had seen some of the relationships she had been in and what they did to her.

I didn't have any feelings for Andy which blinded me at first to what he was trying to do. He was leading me to the bathroom, which I was well enough to do on my own. "I'm fine Andy I don't want to be a bother." I tried to be as polite as I could.

"No I can help I don't mind." He put his hand firmly on my waist.

I tried to laugh it off as best I could, "I'm pretty sure I could use the bathroom on my own." I responded.

"Well that's not really what I had in mind." He said pulling me closer and digging his fingers into my skin, I'm sure that would leave a bruise.

"Look I'm not into you, sorry." I said trying to get free but he only gripped me tighter.

"That's not what you were saying last ni-"

Then Ashley walked in saying "Hey, Andy where-" Andy looked back as Ashley's eyes bugged out. I mouthed the word "help."

He saw me and continued talking, "What are you doing, man?" He asked already knowing what's going on.

"Well, we were in the middle of something." He said turning back to me, I hadn't noticed it before but his eyes seemed off, he was drunk. That made me feel better but worse, at least he wasn't normally like this.

Ashley grabbed me from him and put me behind him. Instinctively, I started to run. I heard shouting coming from the bus.

I sprinted off the bus, through the lot and onto our bus, this time, without looking back.

Notes

These past couple chapters have kinda sucked but I haven't been getting enough sleep and have been writing these when I'm exhausted:/ they'll be better on the weekend :)
