Darren and I just stared at each other for maybe five seconds that felt like infinity. I was a little scared and surprised about that because I didn't knew that Darren meant anything to me. But in this moment i realized that i was scared of losing him. I took a small step towards him, almost shy. He took a step back, away from me. It hurt me a little but not because I loved him or anything like that but i realized that i really like him. I looked him in the eyes, he looked a little angry but most disappointed and hurt. I looked away, not longer able to look him in the eyes.
"Listen Darren, i'm so so sorry"
i started but i was interrupted by Roland/Robert.
"I think I'm going now...", he said sarcastically.
Darren turned to him and shot him a glare.
"I don't think so", he said dangerously slow.
"Darren what do you mean? Darren please don't do anything stupid!", i screamed.
Darren took a deep breath and he actually looked like he calmed down a bit when this Robert/Roland idiot ruined everything and started laughing.
Was this guy insane? Darren was really tall, much taller than this guy, pretty strong and very very pissed.
Before i really knew what was happening Darren had punched him hard in the face.
"Do you still think it's funny?",
he yelled while the guy fell to the floor. He wasn't moving.
I saw blood coming out of the guy's mouth, nose and a cut above his eyebrow. I stared at his quiet body in horror.
What had i done?
I heard mumbling that soon grew to loud hysterical talking and realized that a lot of people had gathered around us. I heard them calling for Kayla since that guy was her brother. A girl i knew from elementary school, i think her name was Tracy, got down on her knees next to the guy and grabbed his wrist to look for his pulse. I knew that she was professional at stuff like that, she wanted to.become a doctor or something like that.
"Is he dead?", I asked her terrified with a for me atypical weak and quiet voice.
"No, you don't die this easily. He's just unconscious. He's wake up in less than five minutes and be alright." She chuckled a bit as she saw my terrified face.
I sighed heavily in endless relief.
I don't wanna know what would had happened if the guy would have gotten hurt seriously.
I looked at Darren who had a blank look on his face and took two steps towards him hesitantly.
"I think we should go now and just...maybe talk?", i asked softly.
He looked me in the eyes and nodded, even though i could see the expression of his face darken as he led me outside the house.
We walked a couple of minutes through the streets without saying anything at all, probably because nobody wanted to start talking. But i kinda knew that i should start the talking and apology. I took a deep breath:
"Listen, Darren. I want you to know that I'm really really sorry for what has happened. I didn't wann-"
I was cut off by him immediately.
"Your always sorry, aren't you? But you didn't look like you were regretting anything before you saw me!", he yelled loudly.
I flinched and i was shocked by his yelling. Usually Darren is a very calm and friendly person. Well i guess everyone has a breaking point.
"I'm so sick of this, Allison Rivers! What do I even mean to you?!", he shouted.
I felt that my knees were starting to shake and i felt a little dizzy. His voice was echoing in my pounding head. I felt just terrible.
"Darren, please! Stop it, I'm really not feeling well!", I begged him.
"It's your own fault you're not feeling well! Maybe you just shouldn't have made out with some drunken idiot! Who knows in who's throats he's already stuck his dirty tongue?"
I just stared at him, his words hurt like knives in my ears. I shivered, my vision stared getting really blurry and i couldn't hear what Darren, now with a worried look in his eyes, said. I felt my body getting numb and suddenly everything went black.
When i woke up again i was sitting in Darren's car with a blanket wrapped around me. I still felt horrible, but at least i was conscious again.
"Darren?", i asked weakly.
"Ally, how are you feeling? I'm so sorry, i never wanted to make you pass out! I shouldn't have over reacted like this just because of this jerk Roland! It was all his fault!", he said and quickly kissed me before returning his eyes on the road.
So the guys name was Roland, not Robert. At least i know his name now. I was relieved that he had forgiven me. But it scared me a little what had happened to me, i usually didn't pass out when i was drunk. I knew that it had happened because i had had had
way to much alcohol.
"Ally, should i drive you home or to the hospital? You don't look quite well.", Darren asked me and gave me that worried look again.
"Home, baby. I'm ok, really, i just need some sleep." i answered. My mom would freak out if i would be brought to hospital.
Darren nodded his head and drove to our house. My head started to get dizzy again and i didn't really realize that Darren picked me up, carried me to the door and passed me to one of my brothers. The last sentence i heard before i passed out again was Jason saying:
"We need to do something, she can't go on living like this."
