Naomi's P.O.V

I finally got off of school property and on my way home until someone called out to me."Naomi? Where you headed off to?" Guess who it was.. Justin again. "I'm trying to head home so I can get my work done and- why am I telling you, you don't care. Can I go now?" I rambled rapidly. "Nah, we need to talk about that Doggy kid." He laughed. I rolled my eyes which caused him to slap my cheek. "Justin, chill and his name is Diggy not 'Doggy' so get it right. And don't touch me you rat!" I spat angrily. "No Naomi you chill, don't tell me what to do. I don't want you to hang with that Diggy guy no more! I don't like him all up on you like that!" He told me gabbing my hand. I pulled my hand out of his rather large one and stepped back. "Justin shut up! He actually cares about me he's not my bully so don't get the roles twisted here. Get out of my face now before I-"

"Before you what? Call your hero? He don't even like you." He scoffed. "Yes, he does and you're just upset because you're not him and you never will be! Let me leave now!" Each time I told Justin something the angrier I became.

Justin laughed and punched me in my gut causing me to double over and clutch my stomach. "What I say about you rasing your voice at me and telling me what to do?" He continued to hit me everywhere but my face this time and 10 minutes later when I was all bruised up and crying he left me balled up on the corner. I finally gained some strength to grab my phone and made a call.

The phone rung 5 times before he answered. "Hello?" He greeted. "Diggy? I need you like right now." I sobbed into the phone. "Naomi stay calm tell me where you're at? What happened?" He asked. "Diggy please just come, please. H-he-I'm hurt, it hurts so bad. I- Justin, It was J-justin." I sobbed even harder. It hurt to breathe, to talk, to cry. He got me good this time. "I'm on my way but I need to know where you are. Just try to focus, I'm coming okay?" He comforted me. "I'm on- on Lubbock Street by the school and the 7/11." I told him, my voice shaky. "Okay, stay on the phone with me till I come, are you behind the 7/11 or what?" He asked.

"Yeah, I take it as a shortcut on the way h-home." I sniffed. "Okay I'm 2 minutes away, I'm coming to get you. Don't move or try to get up on your own. When I get there I'm taking you straight to my house I'll call your folks when we get there okay?" Diggy was so sweet. I could honestly tell he cared for me. "Okay, that's fine." I responded in a whisper. The pain in my chest was indescribable and I knew I had some new bruises. I then saw Diggy and his car pull up beside me. He parked the car and hopped out.

"Justin did this?" He asked. "Yeah, he would stop hitting me and, Diggy just please don't let me go home, not like this." I pleaded. He picked me up gently bridal style and sat me in the passenger seat. "Naomi, I got it just relax, nothing is going to happen to you, you're safe now okay?" I nodded. He then grabbed the rest of my stuff, and  We rode home in silence while he held my hand to comfort me. "Thank you so, so much Diggy. It means a lot to me. I don't know who I would have called if I hadn't thought to call you." I thanked him. "Naomi, when you need someone to be there for you, best believe I'm going to be there, no matter what. And that's a promise." He replied sincerely.

We arrived at his house which was beautiful beyond measure and I attempted to get out by myself which back fired real quick. "Ouch, Ow my side." I clutched it. "Naomi, I got it just let me help you. I don't want you to get hurt. He threw my bag over his shoulder and then picked me back up bridal style once more. when we got to the porch he rang the doorbell since he had me and his mother opened the door. "Daniel how come you didn't just open the door?- Oh come in, what happened Dig? Who's this? Here hand me her bag and take her on up stairs to your room." She instructed.

"Okay." Diggy carried me up to his room after handing his mom my stuff. "I'm gonna run you a bath so you can get cleaned up, my sister has some clothes you can use and I'll call your mom and let her know you're okay and with me and my family for tonight." I nodded. "Diggy I feel like I'm troubling you now." I told him honestly. "No, not at all, I'm glad you're safe and with me. As far as Justin goes he doesn't even know what he's in for." Diggy replied. "You're not going to fight him. Are you? Diggy I need you at school with me, you can't fight him." I grabbed his arm. "Naomi, I don't know I don't like how he's treating you. And I just met him. I'm not just going to let him continue to fight you like that. He might need a taste of his own medicine." He rubbed my hand. "You'll be fine, you have me now, and as a friend I'm not going to let you down. I'm gonna run your bath and Vanessa will help you out with that. When you get out I'll call your parents okay?" Diggy is so perfect, I just met him a few weeks ago and I feel like I can vibe with him on a whole different level. "Okay, thanks Diggy." I smiled.

He went into another area which was most likely a bathroom. I mean obviously. Vanessa, I'm guessing came in. "Hey, I'm Vanessa, I'm guessing you're Naomi. You should have seen how fast Diggy ran down the stairs and out the door. He was so concerned." She sighed and sat down. "How bad are you hurt? I just went downstairs and my mom told me that you need some help." She gave me a sympathetic smile. I lifted up my shirt to show her the bruises. They were rather large and ached a lot. "Oh my gosh, did you show Daniel?" She whispered. I shook my head. "No I think he wants to fight Justin, I just don't want him to fight Justin because I really need him at school with me, it's coming into realization that Diggy really cares for me but I don't want him suspended for fighting. Even if it's just for me." I told her. She shook her head. "You're obviously important to him Naomi. I've never seen him that concerned, like yeah he's been concerned but not that much and especially not about a girl." Diggy then came out the bathroom. "Hey, your bath is ready Naomi. You have the clothes right Nessa?" He asked her.

"Yeah, it's laid on the bed just bring it in here and I'll help her out with her bath." He nodded and walked out to her room while Vanessa helped me waddle into the bathroom. She helped me get undressed and into the tub. It was kinda awkward but I really appreciated it. I was able to wash myself after soaking in the hot water for a while and then I got out. I'm glad to know what it feels like to have friends. Once I was in my towel Vanessa came in with some clothes. It consisted of some gray sweats and a cute sweatshirt (A/N: In media) . "I'll be outside the door, when you need me call me okay?" She then left out of the bathroom and into to Diggy's room as I got dressed.

The clothes fit and I called Vanessa in to help me into Diggy's room.  when we got into the room, Diggy was on his bed playing games and looked up at me when I sat down next to him. "You still want me to make the call?" I was kind of worried because I've never had a friend who was a boy. But then again, I've never had friends period. "I'm not sure how my parents would feel if you called them, after all you are a boy Diggy." I stated. "Want me to do it then?" Vanessa asked. "Yeah, I think that would be best." "Well I could and say that I'd be back after school." I told them. They both nodded agreeing.
