- Chapter 14.

Vic's POV –

"Diana!" I run after her as I see a group of guys surrounding her.

There about 4 guys surrounding her. They were throwing her around, trying to rip off her jacket and shirt.

"Get away from me." I hear her say with annoyance in her voice. I look over and see her shove one of the guys off of her.

It was then one of the guys behind her grabbed her and threw her to the ground. Another guy got on top of her and started undoing her jacket. She tried fighting against him, but his strength dominated hers. He took the top of her shirt and ripped it off her, revealing her top part of her body.

I sprinted towards them and tried fighting against the guys. Two guys threw me on the ground and started trying to beat me. Two other guys stayed there and tried beating Diana. I don't know what overcame me, but a sudden strength in me just happened and I managed to fight both guys off me.

I go over to the other two guys and start beating them. I threw punches left and right, creating cuts and bruises on the two guys' faces. As soon as they stop fighting back I look over to Diana.

"Diana, oh my gosh." I say just above a whisper as I kneel down next to Diana.

I put one arm behind Diana's head and one around her torso to pull her closer to me. I look and didn't see her chest moving. No breathing coming from her. This was all my fault.

"No, Diana. Come back to me." I say as I start crying. Tears ran down my face and I hold on tight to Diana.

I wasn't capable of keeping her safe. I let her slip through my grip too far and she got hurt. Worse, she lost her life. I wouldn't be able to handle this, I just couldn't.

I was brought out of my thoughts when I got hit from the back of my head, hard. I fell over and became unconscious.

It was a sudden blackness, then my eyes suddenly shot open. My vision was out of focus, but it soon became clear after I rubbed my eyes. I look around to see I was in my room. I was drenching in sweat and I was breathing heavily. I look over to see Diana cuddled up next to me, still sleeping.

Diana looked so peaceful sleeping. She looked so calm and beautiful. Yet, she still looked so scared and fragile. I would never imagine to see her like this.

I didn't want to leave her or wake her up, but I was hungry so I had to go make myself something to eat. I slowly got out of her hold and slid the covers more over her body. I kiss her forehead then walk out of my room.

I make my way downstairs and into the kitchen. As I enter the kitchen I see Mike sitting there at the table.

"Hey Vic. How's Diana?" Mike asks as he lifts his head after he heard me enter.

"She's fine. She's still sound asleep." I quietly say as I sit down across from Mike.

"That's good. How are you? I mean, you look like you've seen a ghost." Mike chuckles.

"I, ugh... I haven't been all that great. I had this horrible nightmare last night, and, ugh, it just makes me want to protect Diana so much more!" I stammered. "I love her, Mike, I really do. I'm going to try anything that I can to keep her safe. I can't lose her, I really can't. Once her parents come looking for her, I'm going to fight to keep her mine and with me."

"Damn, you must really love her. I've never seen you act like this before with a girl." Mike stated.

I sigh then show off a smile, "She's just so different. I can tell she acts herself around me, I can do the same, she's funny, incredibly adorable, she's her own person, doesn't try to be someone she's not, she's just something special."
