Past: Lennon (17), Damon (18)
You know when you get that gut feeling that's so damn strong, you can't ignore it even if you try?
That's what I felt when I realized Lennon still hadn't come downstairs.
"Dude! Where the fuck are you going? We're about to start beer pong!" One of my friends drunkenly chuckles but I ignore him as I make my way upstairs.
I check every room, not giving a single fuck about the possibility of walking in on a group fuck session.
Don't ask.
I reach the final door and when I realize the door is locked, my heart sinks.
I don't bother knocking as I kick at the doorknob before the door bursts open.
Then I see her.
Passed out on the bed with some fucker on top of her.
"Dude! Shut the do-"
I don't let him finish as I throw him off of her, causing him to hit his head against the wall.
"Lennon!" I call out, cupping her face in my hands.
She's barely conscious but conscious enough to give me a groan in response.
I turn to face the sick fuck who's currently moaning in pain.
I grip the collar of his shirt and shove him against the wall.
It's then that I realize it's Lia's boyfriend who attacked her.
I tighten my grip around his throat, all rational thoughts leaving my head.
All I can focus on is his heartbeat slowing down.
"D- Damon." Lennon's desperate voice snaps me out of my violent thoughts as I drop the fucker to the floor and turn to face her.
"I'm here, baby."
Her eyes well up with tears as a heart-wrenching sob leaves her.
She falls against me, mumbling something against my chest.
"You were right... I- I'm sorry." She cries and my heart breaks.
"I don't want to hear those words leave you again, do you fucking understand me? None of this is your fault."
She doesn't reply, just holds onto me tighter.
I carry her into my arms bridal style and walk out of the house, ignoring all the eyes on us.
We reach my bike and she doesn't bother fighting me as I hand her a helmet.
She climbs on behind me, hugging me so tightly she almost knocks the wind out of me.
