Over the next 3 weeks, I hadn't talked to Dave at all apart from scoffing at him and Molly when they made out.

Jack had asked me out the previous week and I was really happy that I had seen him that day at the cinema. But as much as I love Jack, I didn't feel the same spark everytime he touched me as with Dave. I didn't feel the same butterflies in my stomach when he smiled or the same shivers in spine when he spoke to me. Something didn't feel right, and I knew it was wrong to go out with Jack when I still had feelings for Dave.

Although i gave the impression that I had forgotten about Dave, he was still at the back of my mind. Like a small doubt which was holding me back from completely loving Jack.

...

When I arrived at school, I immediately shuffled towards my locker as usual, and began taking out my required books. I shut the door and turned around, my hair whipping around as someone blocked my view. It was one of Dave's popular friends, tall and broad shouldered and I could only imagine the bulging muscles he must have. I gulp slightly as I attempted to walk away but he gently pushed me to the ground. But it was enough for my fragile, petite body. My back hit floor with a loud thud as a stiff pain shot up my spine.

I looked around to see Dave, Molly and the rest of their group of friends all laughing at me.

My books were scattered everywhere on the floor as I looked up at Brody, my attacker. I then turned my head back at Dave tears of pain welling up in my eyes, whilst tears of laughter filled his.

I couldn't believe him or the dicks he called his friends. Laughing at me whilst I was getting beat up when he used to protect me from getting beat up.

Flashback to the 8th grade:

I remember running away from my friends, when we were playing tag when I suddenly bumped into someone. I looked up to see Molly and Brody who was towering over me. I squeaked and attempted to run away when he grabbed me by sleeve.
"Where do you think your going Amelia? You can't just bump into me and get away with it." He spat.

I attempted to walk away again but he pulled at my collar, tighter. That is when Dave showed up. Dave the saviour, the Angel, my hero. He was friends with Brody but ended up beating his up for me. Dave definitely wasn't big and neither was I but he was extremely strong.
...
End of flashback

Dave protecting me only tightened our friendship. But now I looked at him, laughing at me and I could not believe it. How could he do this to me? That's when Molly showed up, gently kicking me in the stomach, trying to irritate me. How could he just stand there when his girl friend is bullying his best friend... Well I guess we were not friends anymore.

That's when I saw Dave's expression change. He arrogant smirk quickly flipped into a frown as he stepped forward towards his bitch of a girlfriend. He gently tugged at her shoulder and whispered something in her ear. She looked back down at me, flashed me a glare and strutted outside along with her gang...everyone except Dave.

Dave offered me his hand along with a small smile which I rejected and crawled up to my feet on my own. I gently lifted my palm to my left cheek and winced at the sharp pain. Blood dripped down my hand as I gave Dave a shocked look.

Luckily I didn't have anymore classes and I was free to go home so no one had to see this mess.
"Uh...do you want me to help you get cleaned up?" Dave asked sheepishly.
"No..i can manage myself, why don't you got back to your girlfriend who is obviously better than me!!!" I shot back bitterly.

"Ummm... Amelia, she isn't my girlfriend anymore."

Oooooooo...cliff hanger. Hoped you guys liked this chapter and I'm so sorry I haven't updated in ages. I had so many exams and I kind of got lost with the plot of the story but I've got it back now and I should be updating more frequently :)
