*Anna's POV*
The bell rang, signaling the class was over. I quickly stood, preparing to walk out the door, and bit my tongue to hold in a scream when I felt pressure on my cuts. "Oh, no. You're not getting away that easily." Alexander grabbed my hand tightly, too tightly, and led me behind the science building. He grabbed me by the hair and threw me against the wall before pressing himself against me. "I've had to satisfy myself with other girls, but now you're here and we can have fun." He smirked and grabbed my sweater, ripping it off with my shirt, revealing my plain blue bra. I cried out, earning a punch. "SHUT THE HELL UP." I whimpered in fear and looked away, knowing better than to fight back.
"HEY!!!" Suddenly, Alexander was pulled off of me, and I dropped to the ground. I looked up, and through my tears, saw someone punch my boyfriend in the face. A crunching sound was heard as he fell, unconscious, in front of me. I flinched back out of instinct. The figure crouched down to be at eye level with me. "Hey, are you ok? Anna, right? Remember me? I'm Eli. We met earlier. I'm sorry for being rude... I wasn't in the best mood. Do you need help?" My hand shot out and clutched a leather jacket, pulling it close, which caused Eli to move closer, since he was wearing the jacket. He kneeled fully, and put his hand tentatively on my shoulder as I began to sob into the jacket.
"Thank you..."
"Don't mention it. It's the least I could do after my behavior earlier. I'm here for you." A strange feeling rose up in me.
Safety.
