Stay Strong (A Script Fanfic) (Slow updates)

Chapter 6

Selena's POV

"Hey babe." The bastard spoke.

I stared at the smiling, bright-eyed face in front of me for a few seconds, and then something inside me just snapped. The shopping bags dropped to the floor with a resounding clunk.

"Ridley." I struggled to keep my voice steady. "Your roots are coming through." And then I threw my right fist as hard as humanly possible into his face. And boy did it feel good.

Something cracked underneath my knuckles, and Ridley's eyes filled with tears. As I pulled back, he clutched his nose and began to make strange, pained noises. But I wasn't done. Another punch sent him wheeling backwards, and then a knee in the balls forced the blonde to the ground, crying like a baby. I stood over him, unable to control the grin which began to spread across my face. I probably looked like a maniac. I raised my fist once more.

Suddenly someone grabbed me around the waist, rugby tackling me away from the sobbing idiot. What on Earth were they thinking? We both hit the floor hard, the impact jarring my teeth. My hair came loose from the bun which kept it neatly in place, and I whirled to face a pair of dark hazel coloured eyes. What stopped me from slapping him, I had no idea.

"What the fuck are you doing?!" We both yelled at each other in sync. My blood boiled and a slapped Danny's hands away from me, getting to my feet. He stared in confusion, looking first at me, then at the whimpering coward who still clutched his balls, nose pouring blood. Sam stared in disbelief at me, her own bags lying discarded on the floor, and I noticed Glen standing some way behind her, chest heaving. Several shopping bags lay dying at his feet, two more a short distance away. It seemed that the pair had run after I had...attacked.

"So? What the hell is going on? Do you just randomly beat up blondes now? Or is it a special occasion?!" Danny threw his hands in the air as he stood. The penny hadn't dropped. He began to walk over to Ridley, crouching down to help him to his feet.

"Ask Ridley." My voice was flat, emotionless. Glen's face took on an expression of realisation.

"Ridley?" He questioned quietly. Sam nodded as Danny hauled the man upright. The Irishman pulled a tissue out of his pocket and wiped away the blood which ruined his face, before instructing him to pinch his nose tightly. God, that man was stupid sometimes.

"Right! Now will somebody explain what on Earth is going on!" He turned to me, and I slapped him, hard. I heard a Glen stifle a laugh behind me.

"You absolute idiot." I fumed. "You want an explanation? Ask the evil bastard behind you." Danny rubbed his cheek.

"You're in a very violent mood today, you know that?" He muttered, turning to Ridley. I clenched my fists, nails digging into my palms. Sam stepped up behind me and placed a gentle hand on my shoulder. A warning.

"Right, mate, what's going on?" Danny spoke to Ridley properly for the first time, and the man lifted his head, running a hand through his thoroughly ruined hair. He opened his mouth to answer, but Danny spoke once more. "Hang on a minute..." Finally the idiot listened. Ridley's eyes grew wide as the cogs ticked over in Danny's brain, before taking a rather large step back, which proved useless as a crowd had now began to form. Several people had their phones out, recording the entire scene, some were whispering to each other excitedly. Ridley backed straight into a middle aged woman, who pushed him back gently into Danny's path. She seemed to think she was doing some good.

It was at this point that finally it happened. Danny turned to look at me, eyes wide with realisation, and then to Glen, who nodded. Then he turned and swung a rather beautiful punch into Ridley's poor face. The blonde stood, swaying in absolute shock for a moment, then his legs gave way and he crumpled to the floor in a pathetic little heap.

"Don't you ever come near me, or my girl, again." Danny threatened. A whimper came in answer. "Glad we understand each other." His expression softened and he took a coupled of tentative steps over to me. Sam took her hand from my shoulder as a pair of warm arms wrapped around me. "I'm sorry." He murmured. Warmth spread through me and I smiled, my first, true smile for a long time.

"Me too." A resounding 'awww' rippled around the crowd and we both shook slightly with laughter.

"What the fuck is going on?!" The shout came from behind us. Mark stood there, a pink and black flowery gift wrapped present in his arms, ribbon overflowing, staring in complete and utter bewilderment at the guy on the floor, and us.

And all we could do was laugh.
