The boy next door

I felt utterly weak

Malia's POV

"Hey babe!" I heard Lita call out to me. "Oh hey Lita," I replied with a warm smile. "So," she paused. "Anything you want to tell me?" "What?" I asked confusingly. "When were you planing on telling me you went out with Danger him self!"
"How did you hear about that?"
"A couple of guys said they saw you and Derek together and said you guys were on a date." I replied with frustration, "Ugh it wasn't a date! It was just a.. hang out." She studied me for a while and said, "Okay what ever you say. But remember Malia, they don't call him danger for nothing." Those last words 'They don't call him danger for nothing' send shivers right up my spine. I was walking down the hall way and I saw the devil him self. But his eyes had bags under them and his hair was kind of messy. It looked like he hadn't gotten any sleep last night, which was most probably the case. He looked up at me but didn't say a word. Not even a "hey" or a smile. What the hell?

It was the end of the day and I hadn't seen Derek all day. Except in the morning when he looked tired.

Lita and I had made plans to go see a movie tonight since my mom had to stay at her office until 12 a.m. again. "Hey Malia-Lia," she sang while walking towards me. That's what she calls me now for some odd reason but it's funny to watch, since she bumps into people while singing. "Ready to go!" "Ready babe," I responded. We got into her Fiat. It was much bigger than a regular fiat but it wasn't as nice as Derek's car.

Before going to the movies we went to the mall. We went to Victoria Secret and Pink since they had 'back to school' sales. We went nuts buying things and taking pictures. We both had a really good time and we bonded a lot. Then we went to a restaurant called 'ELIXOR' pretty fancy if you ask me. When we finished at the restaurant we went to the theatres. We decided to watch a horror film. Typical girlie things.

We chose our seats in the back, the last row. Not many people were in the room but I like it that way. We chose to watch a movie called 'WILL YOU SLEEP, KNOWING THAT IM WATCHING?' And there was little phrase under the movie's title 'FALL ASLEEP.. IF YOU DARE' Lita hates horror films but for some reason I love them! I love the thrill and terror of watching them.

As we were watching the movie there was one scene where the girl sees a shadow in her room at night. Which brought me back to when the same thing happened to me. Could it have really been Derek watching me? Impossible! He wouldn't.. Would he?

When we finished the movie, Lita said that she would take me home but I told her Santana was coming to get me. I lied. I just wanted to walk home by myself and clear my head a little. "Okay Malia-Lia see you tomorrow!" I hugged her before she got into her car and said, "Bye babe." And she took off.

I was one block down from home. I couldn't get that movie out of my head. I couldn't get Derek out of my head nor that creepy shadow in my room. Could I have just imagined it all? Am I insane? "PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER MALIA YOU'RE JUST PARANOID!" But that's when I heard footsteps from behind me. I turned around and I saw Josh and Jake.

"Well well well if it isn't Materazzi's puppet," Josh said. "You know he really shouldn't leave you all by yourself at night. On the streets. If I were him I'd never let you go," Jake said with a creepy smile while walking closer to me. "Shouldn't you get back to Kassandra or something," I said rolling my eyes. Next thing I knew I was violently pined to a house wall by Jake. Josh sat there laughing and pulled out his phone to take a video. While Jake violently kissed my neck. "Stop! Get the fuck off me!" I yelled and kicked him in the growing. "Ugh you bitch," and he slapped me so hard and kneed me in the stomach. I winced in pain and let tears stream down my face. Jake didn't give up and he kept kissing my neck and then my lips causing them to bleed. I closed my eyes forcing my self to grow strength and push him off me but I was in so much pain. I opened my eyes and Josh was nowhere to be found. I heard footsteps but I couldn't concentrate because Jake wasn't giving up.

Jake was thrown harshly down to the ground and I saw Derek jump on top of him. Derek was beating the hell out of him. Blood was flying everywhere and I fell to the ground crying my eyes out. Jake pleaded him to get off but Derek didn't give a damn. He sat on top of him punching, beating him. "Don't you EVER DARE come near her again. EVER!" and Derek smashed his head back to the ground. But he also whispered, "Or I will kill you." And he walked towards me. Yes, I was frightened by what he had just said but I didn't care I just wanted to go home and be safe. Derek bend down close to me and I said with tears streaming and I was shacking like hell, "I'm so weak." He took me in his arms and rocked me. "Shhh Butterfly. You weren't weak at all. I saw that kick. I saw how brave you were," he whispered to me. He lifted me up from the ground but I was still in his arms. "W-where are you taking me?" I stuttered. "Come on Butterfly, I'm taking you home." I stuffed my face in his chest while I helplessly cried and he carried me in his embrace, all the way home.
