Life Changing

Chapter 3

Raini was stunned Jolly would yell like that.

"What do you mean?!" Raini yelled back. "That jerk just hit you in the face!" Meanwhile the two guys were cackling like evil villains in a movie. Raini was disgusted. 

"Damn hot stuff," the first guy said. "Got some guts coming over here after seeing what we did to this piece of trash." He pointed to Jolly then turned to his friend.

"Grab him."

Before Jolly could react, the second guy ran over and slid his arms underneath Jolly's shoulders and held his arms tight. Jolly tried to pull his arms free, but with no luck.

Damn he's stronger than I thought, Jolly thought. 

"What the hell?!" Raini yelled a bit louder. "Let him go right now!" The first guy slowly walked over to her creepily yet seductively. It sent chills down Raini's spine. He leaned in less than an inch away from her ear.

"Maybe you should try and be with a real man." Raini quickly jumped back absolutely shocked by what he said. However, as she jumped back, the man grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"You better let me go right now a**hole," Raini said, angrily. The man chuckled and pulled her closer.

"Damn I love my women feisty," he said as he leaned close to her. Raini glanced over at Jolly worried, and he looked like a vein was about to pop out of his head. He kept trying to pull his arms free from the other guy, who was holding him in place, and laughing the whole time. Suddenly, he got an idea. Jolly quickly threw his foot forward, then swung it back, hitting the guy in his private area. The kick resulted in the guy immediately collapsing in pain, releasing Jolly's arms. Then he ran over to the first guy holding Raini and he quickly swung his fist without even thinking. That hit caught the first guy completely by surprise and he fell over holding his face.

"Ow! What the f*ck?!" He cried out. "You broke my nose!" Ignoring him, Jolly grabs Raini's hand.

"Lets go now!" he said as they booked it out of there.

After running for about five minutes Raini pulls her hand back. Jolly turned around.

"What's wrong?" he asked. "We can't stop yet." Raini sat down on the ground in exhaustion.

"I can't... run...anymore," Raini said out of breath. Jolly sighed as he ran his hand through his hair, then sat down next to Raini.

"Look," Jolly said leaning forward. "I'm so sorry you had to see that today. But you should have done what I said. You should have left when you could." Raini shook her head.

"I couldn't just leave you like that," she responded. "He hit you. That wasn't ok."

"I can handle it." 

"Yeah well so can I."

Jolly just looked at Raini for a moment in silence. That was also when Jolly fully took in Raini's beauty. Her long dark brown curly hair fell down beside the golden skin perfectly with her loose somewhat tied back hairstyle. Her wide light brown eyes like caramel, and her beautiful full lips that made it seem that every word that came out sound like angels. He was mesmerized by how this girl didn't back down or abandon him when he was in trouble, even though she was afraid and didn't know what to do. He admired her for that.

"Jolly?" Hearing his name quickly brought him back to reality, even though a small part of him didn't want to come back. "You ok?" He nodded.

"yeah," Jolly said standing up. "We should probably keep going now."

"Can we go to the police station to report those guys?" Raini asked, standing up as well. Jolly nodded.

"Yeah for now that's the best option. Lets go."
