All you dirty minded people, THE TITLE ISN'T WHAT IT SEEMS! It just means someone is going to protect someone else. Ok here ya go.
--------------------------------------------
My body went faster than my brain and next thing I knew I was running up the stairs. Once I got to the top, I saw almost everyone on this floor swarmed around one door. Most of them were trying to open it but it didn't seems to be working. I ran over and pushes through the crowd.
"What's going on in there?!"
I asked the people around me.
"We don't know! All we hesrd is screaming and the door was locked! We don't know what to do!"
"Get everyone to calm down and go back to their rooms. I'll try and get in."
"Please be careful."
The woman I was talking to turned to the people and told them what was going on. Everyone walked to their rooms. I could tell that everyone was afraid. I started to hit the door.
"Hey!!! Open the door!"
I heard a muffled help from someone inside. I grabbed ahold of the door handle and rammed my shoulder and threw my weight at the door. I did this multiple times until the door gave away and the latch broke. Once I got in I saw a man that had a woman pinned againdt the bed. Again, my body moved faster than my mind and I pushed the guy off of the girl. He grunted and glared at me as he regained his balance. The girl sat up and that was when I noticed that her shirt was ripped, she didn't have any pants on except for underwear, and she was crying slightly.
"You should get out of here."
I yelled to her. The man in front of me looked at her.
"You move and I'll hurt you when I find you."
Since he wasn't watching me, I decided to tackle him. After fighting for a while I felt a sharp pain on my cheek. The man I was fighting had a knife in his hand. Then someone yelled.
"Step back sir!"
I looked and saw police officers. They pulled me away and pointed their guns towards the man.
"Drop the wepon!!!"
He slowly dropped the knife in defeat. I looked over at the girl and some female paramedics were by her. I walked over.
"Are you alright miss?"
She whimpered and hid her face.
"We have reason to believe that the man right there raped her."
I was shocked. One of the paramedics walked over to me and looked closely at my face.
"Here."
She said as she handed me a band-aid. I refused it though.
"I don't need it. It's just a small cut. Continue caring to her, alright?"
The paramedic nodded and walked back over to her. I stood in the doorway.
*15 minutes later*
They started to take her to an abulance when she asked them a question.
"C-...... Can the guy that saved me come too?"
They nodded and called for me.
"Sir! She wants you to go with her too."
"M-me?"
They nodded.
"A-alright..."
*3 hours later*
We were finally at the hospital and I had to wait outside the room till they were done checking her to make sure she was alright. The doctor came out and walked over to me.
"Do you know any of her family?"
"No. Today was the first time I have really seen her before."
The doctor just looked at me in disbelief.
"So she asked us to bring someone she barely knew?"
"I guess so..."
She sighed.
"Please wait out here for a moment."
The doctor walked back into the room. I sighed and slid down the wall so I was sitting against it. It was maybe 10 minutes later that the doctor came out and motioned for me to come closer so she could tell me something.
"She daid you are the famous youtuber Markiplier. Is that correct?"
I nodded.
"Please. Follow me into the room. She'd like to talk to you."
I followed the doctor and soon enough she left me alone with the girl.
"H-hey...."
I stuttered. She smiled.
"Hey. Sorry I asked you to come here with me, it's just....."
She trailed off. I cautiously walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.
"It's just what?"
"It's just that I knew you from youtube and you seem trustworthy. Especially referring back to how you saved me..."
"Who was that guy even?"
"My going to be ex."
"Why isn't he your ex now?"
"Because if I disobey him he'll do.... horrible things to me...."
She looked away and stared out the window. I went to lean towards her to get her attention but I ended up placing my hand on hers. She turned her head quickly towards me as we took our hands away from one another's.
"S-sorry.... I just was going to get your attention..."
"I-it's ok..."
There was an awkward silence that fell between us.
"Hey umm..... What's your name?"
"Oh.... Sorry. It's Kendra."
I smiled.
"Well I'm Mark but I bet you already knew that knowing you know my channel."
She chuckled. Her chuckle was really cute. It made me think of Akiko's chuckle.
"Hey, do you know of the youtuber Akiko Fujimori?"
Kendra blushed and turned away again.
"Y-yeah... Why d-do you ask? Is it because she isn't very cute and I remind you of her?"
"No! No! Not at all! I've never seen what she looked like. It was just that your chuckle sounded like hers that's all. It's kinda cute!"
What was I saying?! Why was I acting like this?! After I told her that both of our faces got really red. I turned my face away and apologized.
"S-sorry... I say what's on my mind out loud a lot...."
I felt her tap my shoulder so I turned towards her. When I turned I felt thin arms snake their way around my sides and hold together by my back. Then I saw slightly, light brown threads sway as I exhaled. Kendra was hugging me and layed her head on my chest.
"W-why're you hugging me?"
I asked as I slowly ran my fingers through her hair. It was very soft. I heard her hic and sob slightly so I hugged her.
"What's wrong?"
"A-all my life... E-everyone s-said I-I-I was ugly....."
She cried on my chest and I let her. I held her closer and tighter.
"I don't know how they could have ever said that. You are beautiful. I promise you that."
She looked up at me with teary eyes.
"I-I'm scared, Mark.... My ex might find me again.... He always does...."
I had her lay her head on my chest again.
"For as long as you stay in this hospital, I will stay right by the bedside. And when you get out you can stay with me."
She looked up at me again and I smiled.
"I'll protect you."
