JARRADS POV
III I open my car door and see her trying to run to me or out of the alley. I pull a gun out from my jacket "Don't you dare touch my property!" I yell to the group of men aiming my words at Devon I point my gun at him. They let go of her and push her to the ground. She gets up and faces Devon and she looks pissed. Devon points his gun at her, and his group mirrors his actions. She stands straighter and slowly walks towards me. Why me I have a gun too. She stops about a meter away.
I slowly walk towards her making sure to be careful not to scare her. I lean close to her, she smells like strawberries and mangos, I whisper in her ear "Stand behind me. You don't want to get in the middle of this" She does as I say making sure to be slow and careful. "Did you not hear me, Devon?" I call toward the group of men. Devon steps forward in front of his group turns to face then them, nods, and then says." Let's go boys don't want to be getting in a fight tonight". Yeah, that's right don't want to be messing with fucking Jarrad Carter Anderson!
They turn and walk back the way they came. I watch them walk away until I can't see them anymore. Ella says thank you to me and turns to walk home. She is not going to walk home at this time of night, she is lucky I was here to save her this time. I grab her arm firmly without trying to hurt her. "I don't want you walking home at this time of night let me drop you home," I say.
"I'm ok I can walk," she replies. "I wasn't asking". I say she is not walking home I won't let her! I open the passenger door and say "Get in", "Sort of demanding" she says. Great now she has an attitude after I just saved her. "Get in Ella don't make me repeat myself," I say sternly. she hops on the passenger side we start driving down the road "What's your name?" she asks. I look at her for a moment before turning my head back to the road. I stop the car out the front of her house she just sits there. I hop out of the car and open the door for her. "My name is Jarred," I say shutting the door and walking back around to the driver's seat I watch her walk to her front door before leaving again. I can see her watching me in my revision mirror.
