Penelope

Protection

Grant didn't know what to think. He had a sick feeling in his stomach that he hated and his heart felt broken. Before he knew it him and Penelope made eye contact for a few short seconds and she looked at him with a worried and sad expression. Grant stood up and ran out the club. Although Alex was calling out his name, he kept walking away. He stayed in his car for about an hour. His thoughts made him curious about how the innocent gal had this happen to her. He wondered who brought her here and why she's still here. In a way, he felt awful for this beautiful innocent girl. He knew she never deserved this. He sighed and looked down. Grant started the car and started driving, he didn't have a certain place he was going, but he knew he needed to get out of here. While he was driving he saw a girl being chased by guys. He quickly stopped the car and went to go investigate. When they started cornering the poor girl, Grant stood in front of her protectively.
"What the hell? Get out of here kid, this isn't any of your business!" one of the guys yelled in his face. Grant only looked unfazed by his attempts to scare him. "Gentlemen, I can assure you that i'm someone you don't want to mess with." Grant said sternly. He hated having to deal with assholes like them. The same guy got up in his face. "Oh yeah? What are you gonna do? Call the cops?" The guy quickly grab Grants phone and smashed it into pieces. Grant sighed, annoyed about how childish this guy was being. "I must have forgotten to introduce myself, I am Grant Jinx, son of Marcus Jinx." Grant smirked slightly knowing of all the things his father could do with just the snap of a finger. The guys immediately backed up and ran away. Grant turned to look at the frightened girl. "Are you okay?" he whispered worriedly. The girl looked up at him. He groaned on the inside. Not Penelope again. "G-grant I can explain..." Penelope quickly said. Grant started walking away and Penelope grabbed his hand and made him face her. He saw the tears in her blue eyes as she whispered "P-please grant...I don't want to be alone right now..." Grant looked down debating on what to do. He stayed quiet for a minute and then slowly hugged her and she cried into his shoulder. Once again he felt bad for her, he wondered how often this happened. He slowly pulled away after a couple minutes. As Penelope sniffed and wiped her tears away he said "Do you want me to take you home?" She quickly shook her head. Grant looked down blushing. "T-then do you want to spend the night at my house?" She smiled small.

"Yes please" She replied.

That was the first time ever Grant had taken a girl home with him.
