nikki's pov:
"babe, I'm outside." his voice was loud through my phone's speaker. i grabbed my backpack and hurried down the stairs and out the door to join my boyfriend. he opened the car door for me and closed it behind me, before getting in and turning the car on. he leaned over and kissed my cheek lightly.
"hey babe." he smiled.
"hey baby." i smiled warmly back. we drove in silence to the small high school as i scrolled through twitter. i switched over to my secret account, looking at his tweets. i accidentally laughed at one of his tweets about being antisocial.
"what's so funny?" jake looked over suspiciously.
"uh, funny twitter video." i quickly scrolled up.
"oh." he frowned.
i smiled at him and he turned the car off, getting out and slamming his door shut. he didn't bother opening my door, so i got out and closed my door after grabbing my backpack.
"hey girl!" my best friend, ashley called.
"hey." i smiled.
"boyfriend troubles?"
"yeah. he got mad over something."
"what did you do? oh, no. not again!"
"what? i couldn't help it."
"you have a boyfriend, and it's not him!" i stared past her, letting her words drown out. he walked past us, wearing all black. he threw a soft smile, noticing i was watching. my eyes grew wide and i quickly flipped my hair and looked the other way. "there you go again, he's nothing, nikki. he's a loser, a nobody."
"whatever, ashley. i have to get to class." i rushed into school, going to math. he sat in the back, i sat in the front. i wondered if he truly ever noticed me. the teacher hadn't come in yet. jake came in and sat next to me, obviously still mad. he stood up and walked to the back of the class, where he sat.
"so what does the emo have for me today?" jake grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him up. he was much taller than jake, but also much skinnier. he mumbled something, making jake aggravated. "i said, what does the emo have for me today?"
"n-nothing." he quietly said. jake slammed him against the wall, making him whimper. he looked at me, hurt in his eyes.
"leave dan alone, jake." i stood up. jake looked back at me, fire in his eyes. i flinched, rubbing the bruises on my arms.
"oh really?"
"please." i whispered. he let go of dan, letting him slide down the wall.
"I'll deal with you later." jake harshly said. i fearfully kept my eyes on my paper all through class, relieved when the bell rang. i rushed out of class before jake could even glance at me, making my way to my next class. the rest of the day went that way, and i decided to ride the bus home. i hopped into an empty seat, plugging my earbuds in. everyone packed in, leaving me by myself. one last person climbed aboard, everyone shoving him around. he looked around helplessly for a seat. i raised my hand at him and he stood for a minute before heading to my seat.
"i-is this taken?" he stuttered. i shook my head and he sighed in relief, sitting down. he took out his phone, scrambling through his backpack. he snickered and tapped my shoulder. i took out my earbud, looking at his deep brown eyes. "do you have an extra pair of earbuds?"
"no, sorry."
"it's okay." he smiled.
"are you okay, from today i mean?"
"im fine."
"okay."
"i can defend myself, by the way. i don't need your help."
"sorry, i was just trying to-"
"well don't. i don't need someone to help me with anything."
"fine, sorry i even mentioned it." i shuddered, feeling his coldness. i grabbed my backpack, climbing over him and getting off the bus, since it was at my stop. he walked after me, descending the stairs closely. i walked towards my house, feeling his presence close by. i finally arrived, walking up my doorsteps. i turned around, and he was there.
"look, i'm sorry. i didn't mean to be so cold."
"it's whatever. you live in your world, i'll live in mine." i sighed, closing my front door. i walked up the stairs to my room, crashing onto my bed. i unlocked my phone, going to twitter. i switched accounts, looking at his tweets. i started to compose my own, but stopped myself. i heard a car door slam from outside my house and i looked down to see jake talking to dan. he grabbed dan, throwing him to the grass. i grabbed a knife, putting it in the back of my jeans. i silently walked out the door, watching the scene unfold before me.
"jake, i'm the one you want, right? i'm the one you want to deal with. so deal with me, okay? don't worry about him, he hasn't done anything."
"stop, nikki." jake glared at me.
"why don't you stop?" i whined. he grabbed dan, punching him in the stomach. he threw him to the ground and walked over to me. i started to shake in fear, feeling him getting closer and closer. i looked behind him at dan, seeing his lip bleed. i felt a tear run down my face.
why was this happening?
dan stood up and wiped his lip, looking at me. i felt a hand grab my arm, and jake slammed me against the door. i whimpered as he continued this until everything started to fade. i heard dan yell and i slid down the door, falling to my knees. my face collided with the pavement and everything went black.

      i woke abruptly in my bed, looking around. i looked outside, but there were no cars. i realized that it was all a dream because there were no scratches or bruises. i yawned and walked to the bathroom, turning on the shower.
"nikki?" my dad yelled from downstairs.
"yeah?"
"just making sure it was you."
"okay." i removed all my clothes and hopped into the shower.
