adriana's pov

"you snuck out to a party? what the hell is wrong with you!" my father shouted at me. i sat upon my bed, hugged my knees to my chest. my eyes were soaked with tears.

"and here you are, drunk out of your mind! you were to stay home and stay out of trouble--"

i blocked out whatever else he had to say. i dug my head into my hands, feeling sick from all i had to drink. i was starting to feel more hungover than drunk. i threw up 4 times on the way here. 

i didn't tell him about the part of me almost being sexually assaulted. i barely remember anything before or after oakley started fighting whoever the guy was. 

i just remember attempting to fight someone off of me, and drea helping me put my bottoms back on. yeah. imagine having to piece that together in your mind. 

drea dropped me off home and left back to the party to check on ricky. i pulled my blanket closer to me. 

"you are not to leave this house unless to school and cheerleading practice, you hear me?" my dad shouted, shaking his finger at me. i nodded without a word.

he left and slammed the door behind him, leaving me up here all alone. i sniffled to myself and choked down as many tears as i could. 

it was now about 3 o'clock in the morning. i stayed put in my bed not wanting to move. my body felt so weak and scratchy. i didn't want to be in my own skin. 

i opened my phone and began to look through my old photos. photos of me and my mother. even though it feels like i've always been a daddy's girl, i always felt closer to my mom by heart.

she understood me differently than my dad ever could. i knew she'd have patience with me at this moment if she were here. i put my phone down, and sobbed to myself.

ping. ping,

a sound left my phone, signaling i had gotten a text. whatever. i didn't feel like talking to anyone.

ping. ping. ping.

i picked my head up and checked my phone.

i climbed 

up

your window


my head snapped in the direction of my front window. i stumbled over to the window and moved the curtain. i saw oakley sitting on my roof, staring at his phone.

 how did he even get up here? my semi-drunk mind couldn't comprehend this.

i unlocked my window and opened it as much as i could to let the tattooed boy inside. oakley crawled inside my room, "shh, my dads home" i whispered.

"a-adri... the c-cops went to ricky's... i r-ran..." oakley slurred his words. "the cops? for what?" i asked. 

"a-adriana... i know you've b-been avoidin' me but please--" 

i interrupted him. "you need to be quiet" i crossed my arms, trying to soothe my nerves. oakley wasn't sober, but i don't think he was fucked up either. 

still, i could definitely tell i was the more sober between the two of us.

i gestured for oakley to sit on my bed. as he took his shoes off, i began to observe his appearance. he had scratches all over his face and marks on his arms. his lip was still bleeding.

"adriana, you're everythin' i've ever w-wanted in a woman.. i want you to be mine so bad.." oakley said, looking into my eyes. oh yeah, he's still fucked up.

"oakley, you're drunk still" i shook my head, getting up. oakley grasped my wrist and yanked me to sit next to him again. 

"p-please princess, listen to me" he whispered. i gulped. that was kind of hot. 

"y'know, i beat that johnny kid black and blue because he kissed you" oakley cackled to himself. 

johnny from the other week. "you did that to johnny?" i questioned. oakley nodded his head. what the heck. 

"and that fucker who laid his hands on you?" oakley looked at me with low eyes. i looked back at him, blankly. i know he's referring to the guy who almost raped me...

"i fuckin' shot his ass... twice"

my eyes widened. "that's why the cops came... that's why i had to run..." oakley slurred, sighing a breath.

 "as long as you're in my life adriana, i'll keep you safe from this big bad world..." oakley held my hand in his. he laid on his back. 

"all i want to do in this lifetime is shelter you from any harm..." he intertwined our fingers. 

"i want to shelter you..."
