"Please don't do this!" I screamed one last time before just finally giving up. I squeezed my eyes shut and just laid there, waiting for whatever was gonna happen take place.

As I laid there, I felt him continue to hover over me, touching my body while still reaching down and trying to take my underwear off. All of a sudden, he was off of me and my body became really cold.

I shot my eyes open and looked around to see what was happening. When I finally found Brian, I realized that he was pinned on the floor by someone and they were fighting. I abruptly sat up and covered my half naked body. I kept looking and finally realized who was on top of Brian. It was Justin.

"Don't you ever..." he said as he swung down and punched Brian in the face. "..put your hands.." he kept punching. "..on her again you sick bastard." He drew his hand back one last time and swung it into Brian's face as hard as he could. His body laid there motionless as Justin calmly stood up and wiped the blood on his knuckles, onto his shirt. He then turned around and faced me before walking over.

"Kelsey.." he opened his arms and gave me a sympathetic look.

I wiped the tears off of my face and stood up. He wrapped his arms around me and rested his chin on the top of my head. I placed my hands on his chest and began sobbing into his neck.

"I'm so so soooo sorry." He said as he squeezed me tighter.

"It's....it's not your f-fault Justin." I tried my best to get all of it out. All of a sudden, I then realized that I was half naked, so I quickly pulled back and covered myself.

"What?" He asked right before realizing it himself. He quickly reached down and grabbed my pants that were laying at the end of the couch. He tossed them to me and I quickly put them on. Next, I realized that I wasn't wearing a shirt either.

"Oh no, where is my shirt?!" I yelled.

"I don't know. I don't see it anywhere." He said as he walked around the back of the couch and looked all over the ground. "Here.." He said as he peeled off the sweatshirt he was wearing and handed it to me.

I quickly threw it over my head and slid my arms into the slots. "Thanks."

"No problem. Now come on, let's get out of here." He held out his hand and interlocked my fingers with his. He led me out the front door and we walked over to my car. He held the passenger's seat open and helped me get in. He then went to the driver's side and got in. All of a sudden he abruptly pulled his phone out of his pocked and started dialing a number.

"Who are you calling?" I asked.

"The police."

"Wait! You can't!"

"Why not? He hurt you and something needs to be done about it."

"No Justin." I quickly grabbed his phone and hung it up. "Once they get here and Brian tells them what happened, and most importantly why, you and Derek could possible go to jail."

"I don't care. No one hurts you and gets away with it. It's not right!"

"It's okay. I will be fine. I'm just gonna make sure I stay safe from now on. It's gonna be okay." I honestly felt like I was about to have a mental breakdown but I knew that I had to stay strong and not freak out, especially right at that moment.

I also knew that the right thing to do was call the police, but I just didn't want Justin or Derek going to jail. They were honestly the only ones I really had left and felt close to.

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely."

"Okay. Well I'm gonna take you back to my house then." He said as he started my car and backed out.

"So how did you know where I was?" I asked, looking out of the window at the other passing cars.

"Well when me and Derek got to the house, we waited for a bit and you never came. We texted and called you but you didn't answer. I had a bad feeling so I just rode out to try and find you. I first went to the school and when I drove up to your parking spot I noticed some paper on the ground. I got out and read it and that's when I saw the note Brian had written you."

"Wow. Thats amazing. But wait how did you know to come after me?"

"Because Brian doesn't favors for anyone. I knew that he was probably up to no good so I drove over there. I saw your car in the yard and just decided to go in and see what was going on. That's when I saw him on top of you and I just lost it."

I stayed quiet for awhile and just looked kept looking out of the window. "Thanks." I said through the tears already starting to form again.

"No problem."

"No Justin I really mean it. Thank you so much! If you hadn't of come after me I could have been raped! I-I just can't imagine." At this point the tears officially started to fall down my cheeks.

He turned onto the street his house was on, pulled up into his driveway, and cut the car off. He then completely turned towards me and grabbed my hand. "You're welcome." He said as he held my face and wiped my cheek with him thumb. "I'm so glad I was there too because if he would have actually hurt you, I would have...I would have killed him! I almost did earlier!"

"You probably did! He was knocked out cold when we left!" I yelled with a slight smile on my face.

"Yea well he deserved what I gave him!"

I giggled a bit. "Yea but all jokes aside, I'm just so glad that you were there." I looked up into his eyes and he looked back down at mine. I could feel the tension growing between us and before I knew it, I had leaned up and kissed his lips.

Realizing what I had just done, I quickly pulled back and grabbed at the door handle. "Sorry" I said as I started to get out of the car.

Justin quickly pulled me back and caressed my face again. "Don't be sorry." He whispered as he leaned down and started kissing me again. We continued this over and over and I was overwhelmed by happiness. I partially forgot about everything that had just happened to me, and I just became happy. I wasn't quite sure yet, but I was pretty sure that Justin was the guy......
