The Best Friend Goals

LOVE AT FIRST FIGHT

"Ahhhh! Let go of me you creep! RAPE! RAPE!"

Toby, where are you?

"Let her go!"

The weird man pushed me away, stretching.

He pushed the unfamiliar guy. "And who are you?" He asked.

"Your worst day."

The guy was muscular. Obvious that he's lifting every week. He started punching the weird man again and again until the weird man falls onto the ground.

The unfamiliar guy approached me as the weird, creepy guy ran away for his life.

I ran away from the court, crying. I even forgot to thank Superman.

But I didn't care. This is the first time somebody assaulted me. It was traumatic. It makes me angry and weak.

When I was about 10ft away from the court, the guy said, "Claire! Wait!"

So he knows me?

I turned around to see Luke Hemmington, the punk 'it' boy.

I froze, forgetting I was so close to being raped earlier.

Luke was panting as he nears me.

"Are you okay?" He said between breaths.

"Do I look okay?"

He pulled his hanky to wipe my tears. I shivered.

"Sorry, Claire. I got stuck with some couple of friends before I could pick you up. Don't worry, I made sure that that shit wont bother you again."

I smiled. He smells so good.

"Thank you." I looked down while smiling.

"We're neighbors, right?" I nodded, feeling a little shy for my earlier rudeness

"Shall we?" He raised his arm then I nodded

I started crying and I was shocked when he pulled me on his chest.

I can feel his heartbeat rising up and I just cried and cried.

"Claire! Open the door! Please! I told you I'm sorry! I made the biggest mistake of my life! Please, Claire!" He was pounding the door.

I didn't say anything. I'm just so mad.

Then it became quiet. Is he gone?

I opened the door and he's gone.

Thank god

Before I can close my door, a happy woman was running towards me.

"Claireeeee!"

"CADE! You came back!!!"

It was like 1 day since I last saw her so we missed each other well.

"Cade, I gotta tell you a lot of things! And tell Toby I never wanna see him again!"

She snatched a chocolate bar from my mini-ref and sat on the couch. She ate quickly.

"Wait. Did I hear it right? You never wanna see Toby again? This is pretty unusual" She talked so slow and I could see chocolate stains on her teeth.
