And Then You Left

Anger & Apology

"Wo-hoo...dude calm down. What is this all about?" I asked, he was looking pretty angry. I wasn't afraid. He suddenly moved towards me and holding me firmly from my shirt he pinned me against the wall and hissed "You are going to stay away from my girlfriend!!!"

As I was about to punch him on the nose he whacked to my stomach. I couldn't breath for seconds and nearly collapsed to the floor. Getting back on my feet quickly I tried to punch him but he was faster so I got punched on the face. I could taste the blood coming from my upper lip. As I was ready to kick him someone stormed into the room.

EMILY'S POV:

I couldn't believe the scene I saw for a minute. Daniel's upper lip was bleeding as Chris was looking at him furiously. "What the hell you think you're doing Christopher?!" I shouted at him and raced beside Daniel.

"How did you find us?" asked Chris ignoring my question. I was so angry that I wanted to hit him. "Nicole saw you two going in the room, oh sorry she saw you pulling Daniel inside...But this isn't our subject! What did you do?"

Looking at Daniel in disgust he answered "That son of bitch was trying to take you from me!" I was so, so angry that my voice was shaking. "Choose your words with care Christopher! He's my friend!"

"Yeah a friend who's trying to get in your pants?" This time even my brain couldn't stop me and I slapped him hard on the face. He didn't do anything but just looked at Daniel and whispered "We'll meet again Daniel Dawson."

As soon as he made his way to the door of the room, Daniel who was trying to hold himself for forever stood up and started walking furiously at Chris. "Sssh...Calm down!" I told him holding his arm as firm as I could.

He stopped and turned to me. His eyes shut tightly, trying to calm down. Taking a step closer to him I took his face inside my hands and whispered "Look at me. Daniel open your eyes." He slowly parted his eyes and looked at me.

"Promise me you won't do anything. Promise me you won't go after him. I'll take care of him." He nodded and put his hands over mine. "I wouldn't Emily." he said with a voice full of pain. "I'm sorry?" I asked with confusion.

"I-I wouldn't try to use you over anything like that. I wouldn't try getting in your pants." I breathed in hardly inhaling his scent. Even by looking at his eyes I could see that he was feeling awful. "I know you wouldn't." I whispered and put my head on his chest.

"Does it hurt?" I asked after a few minutes. "Hmm?" he hummed so I picked up head from his chest and slowly touched the corner of his lips "This...does it hurt." He shook his head and answered "Not anymore"

Thanks to being in a med school's class it was easy to find antiseptic liquids and first-aid bands. Taking care of his lip and eyebrow's corner quickly we walked out the class.

THAT EVENING...

I parked in front of our house and just as I got out of the car I saw Chris on the front porch. "Why are you here? I asked him with a dull expression. "Hello to you too, Emily." Crossing my arms on my chest I looked at him. "As you see I'm not in that mood. What do you want?"

Taking a step closer to me he kissed my cheek and whispered to my ear "I'm sorry for today." I tried to push him away but he was too strong. "I'm not the one you should say sorry to..." I said not even hugging him. He took a step back and held my face in his hands.

"I know. I'll handle that too. But I couldn't help myself. I love you so much and I just can't even imagine someone else with you." "I know. But he wouldn't try something on me." "How can you be so sure?" he asked.

I let out a heavy breath and said "I just...know OK?" He nodded and this time holding my hand and smiling "Let me make this up. Wanna have dinner out together?"
