My Unexpected Saviors

Dom

"What the fuck was that Dom?" Jace hisses at me as we walk out of class.

I glare at him, "Man, fuck you! I never agreed to have her join our little group nor do I care about her. We don't know shit about her!" I spit while getting in his face.

As we have a stare down in the middle of the hallway, people start coming around us to watch what is happening, waiting for one of us to throw a punch, "She's a girl not someone you can say shit like that", he takes a big breath in, "You don't know what the fuck happened to her so you have no right".

That got my blood boiling, "It's none of our fucking business", I yell pushing him back, "You seem to care so much about her. Why don't you go after her like a little bitch", I say pushing him again.

He pushes me back, "Fuck you, man! I'm not going to do this shit", he pushes me back one more time, "You know what? I will go after her because unlike you, I care", with that he storms off.

Chris, Nick and I along with the crowd just watch him as he storms off down the hall, "Okay, what just happened?" Chris asks looking confused.

I look at him but I don't have the answer to that.

"Man, you fucked up", Nick says shaking his head, "I've seen the way you look at her when you think nobody is looking. Why are you so afraid to fall for a girl?" he shakes his head and then walks away after Jace.

I look to Chris who looks like he doesn't know what to do. He, finally, looks back to me, "They're right you know?" he sighs out, "I meant what I said before".

With that, he walks off too leaving me to stand there looking at them walking away from me. I get even more pissed at that and punch the locker next to me leaving a dent. I glare at it then look around to see that everyone is still watching me "What the fuck are you all looking at?" I snap out. They jump at my voice and rush off to lunch.

I shake my head and curse under my breath. Now I look like a fucking dick and she even turned the boys on me. How, I have no idea. Sighing, I know that if I don't go catch up to them I will never hear the end of it. Part of me does feel bad about what I said. The thing is that I just got pissed that she lied to our faces. She needs help but she's afraid to ask, I know that for sure.

As I take off running down the hall I call Chris to ask him where they are. Once I know, I head that way.

The boys and I go looking for Niykee everywhere at school and some other places that we can think that she might of went but we come up empty handed. Sighing, I sit on the park bench just thinking of places that she could have gone.

"How about we check her house maybe that's where she ran off to", Nick says. Nodding my head in agreement, we all head towards her house. The conversation on the way there is minimal to nonexistent but we get there pretty fast so I don't dwell on it. When we are getting closer to my street and her house we hear sirens in the background. We look at each other and then follow the sirens to see which way they are coming from.

"You don't think she-", Chris start and makes a nervous laugh "She wouldn't! I mean right?" Chris stutters out.

"I don't know man", Jace says while I speed up a little bit. I turn on my block and see the paramedics by her house. I push on my gas to go faster and I step on the breaks just as the car skids to a stop and we all hop out.

When we get there, they are taking her out of the house and there is blood all over her. I look at the boys and then back to Niykee. We are all too shocked to say anything. Why would she do this? We could have helped her. No, this can't happen. I don't know why but I can't lose her. I can't! I don't know if it's because something similar happened to my mom or because I do truly care for her. I am brought out of my thoughts when I hear some guy talk. He is in an Army uniform and I notice more than one people with that uniform.
