,,Beca, wait!" I hear Chloe yell, but I run further. I need to find Tom, I need to punch him right in his face. What the hell was he thinking? You're not gonna hit someone, certainly not because they don't want to have sex. I never liked Tom, because he has a relationship with Chloe. I wish Chloe all the luck in the world, but not with him. And certainly not now. He had no right to beat Chloe up only because she didn't want to have sex! Not much later I'm in the hall and I see him with Jesse. What the fuck is Jesse doing with him? My best friend is sides with the enemy? Why is he even friends with that asshole?! I want to go to Tom, so I can tell him the truth, but someone grabs my arm. ,,Beca, don't."
,,Chloe, I have to. He had no right to abuse you for sex! He needs to know he was wrong."
,,Violence solves nothing."
,,What can I do for God's sake?"
,,Nothing, because it makes no sense."
,,No sense? Are you fucking kidding me? How can you say that it's no big deal? He could have raped you, Chloe! Did you ever thought about it?"
,,No, I didn't but why do you want to do this for me?"
,,Because you are my best friend. You may have broken our friendship, but I haven't." I look back to Jesse and Tom. Tom is laughing. Ugh, I really want to strike that evil grin from his face. It's like he talk about Chloe as if she's a trophy. I walk off of the stairs, leaving Chloe on top of the stairs. ,,Hé!" I yell towards Tom. As soon as he turns his face to look at me, I hit him so hard that he falls to the ground.
,,What the fuck?!" He yells in defense.
,,Beca, what the hell are you doing?" Jesse looks at me, but don't help Tom up.
,,That son of a bitch almost raped Chloe."
,,He did what?!" Now Amy is standing next to me and I notice Aubrey next to Chloe.
,,I didn't rape her."
,,No, I said almost. You are deaf and stupid!" I can not do normal against him, even though he's the boyfriend of Chloe.
,,What did the bastard do?" Jesse and Amy ask me at the same time.
,,I think he can explain that." I grab Tom by the collar and pull him up again. ,,Oh, don't lie." I let him go.
,,I don't know what you're talking about."
,,Wrong answer!" And hit him again, so hard that he can no longer stand on his feet. He falls to the ground once again. ,,You wanted sex with Chloe, but she refused. You couldn't handle that didn't you?"
,,Dude? Did you raped Chloe or not?" Jesse ask Tom.
,,No, I did absolutely nothing to her!"
,,Lair!" I yell angry and hit him again. ,,Tell him the truth."
,,Beca, get off of him!" Aubrey yell and take me off of Tom.
,,Of course you defend him."
,,I do not. Chloe told me what happened and I appreciate that you are willing to defend Chloe, but now it's time to stop."
,,Can you guys just tell me what's going on?" Amy yell frustrated.
,,Tom abused Chloe." I turn my head to my best friend. ,,He wanted to have sex with Chloe last night, but when she refused, he just hit her!" I want to hit Tom again, but now there are standing guys around him. What the hell? Why are people helping Tom? He's not the one who's having pain, Chloe is.
,,Stop it Beca." Aubrey say and push me outside in the cold air. Ugh, why is everybody picking Tom's side. Even Chloe. Well, she's in shock. Afraid of me and just don't know what she has to do. Suddenly there is severe pain in my thumb. I can't even move it anymore. What is wrong? Why can't I move my dumb?
,,Beca? Are you alright?" Amy is standing next to me, but I wished it was Chloe.
,,I don't know, my dumb really hurts right now."
,,Let me see." Amy grab my dumb softly, but I winch in pain. ,,It's broken."
,,Broken?"
,,Yeah, how hard did you hit Tom?"
,,I don't know. I just wanted him to have pain, you know. He hasn't the right to hit Chloe like that!"
,,Beca, I know you only did this because you're in love with Chloe, but violence isn't the solution. What is your father going to say."
,,He won't find out and you are not going to tell him. And by the way, you don't even know him."
,,Are you in love with me?" My heart stops and the panic comes into my body. Chloe overheard Amy and it's true. I am in love with her, but it's coming from one side. Chloe doesn't love me the way I love her.
,,What are you doing here?" the words are brutal and hurtful, but I can't help it. Chloe did hurt me in the way she acted. I can't forgive her like this.
,,I wanted to check on you, see how you where doing."
,,You don't have to pretend you know, I know that you don't like me and don't want to be friends anymore so stop this act and just leave me alone."
,,What are you talking about? What act?"
,,Don't fool me Chlo! You pretend you like me as your friend, but you don't. You said you couldn't be friends with me anymore and just left me in the yard without any reason. Do you even know how much that hurt? To know that I'm not good enough for you to be your friend..."
,,You are good enough, Becs. I have a good reason to avoid you, because..."
,,You don't have to explain, because you know what? I don't believe a word you say. You've hurt me and that's not something you can fix this easy. Yeah, I stood up for you against Tom, because what he did was wrong, but it doesn't mean we're okay. You need to do much more than just care for me."
,,What can I do to make you believe that I care about you?"
,,I don't know! Just think of something. Unfortunately we are stuck with each other for the next six months, so time enough right?" Chloe nod.
,,Sorry to interrupt your fight, but Beca you need to go to the doctor."
,,Doctor? For what?"
,,Beca broke her dumb while fighting your boyfriend." Amy say.
,,Tom isn't my boyfriend!" Chloe yell above everybody. ,,And I'm coming with you, because it's kinda my fault this whole situation." I don't reply and roll my eyes. Great, now I have to spend the rest of the day with Chloe!
