Heaven to the side <33

                   ****************

"I don't think your boyfriend likes me" Brandon said in an amused voice.

I looked up from my paper, following his eyes to see that he was referring to Blake. Who might I add, was sitting on the far table opposite ours. His arms were crossed, making his already muscular arms appear larger, his soulless blue eyes glaring menacingly at Brandon.

I tried not to smile, as I felt a sudden tugging sensation in my heart.

"He's not my boyfriend" was all I could say. What even were we? I didn't even know.

"Really? He seems protective over you" Brandon taunted for the second time today. It made me wonder what was going on inside of his head, what fucked game he was playing at? Ever since we started this damn assignment he had been trying to make small talk with me, and quite frankly, it was getting on my last fricken nerve. All I could do was look at him like he was mad. He made me fricken sick, to look at him. To look into those eyes that only triggered unwanted memories from the party.

I gripped my pencil tighter, "maybe because you spiked my drink at your party and he doesn't trust you" I snapped. My eyes instantly grew wide. Crap!

What the hell is wrong with you Heaven?!

For Brandon to laugh, was definitely not the reaction I was expecting from him. Even though it was a rather unkind and nasty chuckle, it was still a laugh right?

"Oh come on Heaven" I swallowed once he said my name. "That was ages ago, I was drunk" he had the nerve to smirk at me.

My eyes instantly narrowed, "how can you even say that? So if you raped me you wouldn't even think anything of it cause you were drunk?!" I yelled furiously. Right now I did not give a fuck that we were in a library full of students who were trying to study, because he deserved for me to give him a piece of my mind. I can't believe that I felt sorry for him when I saw him all bruised and vulnerable looking, now all I wanted to do was cause more damage to his face! I can't believe how cold hearted he was.

"Okay okay calm down. I'm sorry" he held his hands up in fake surrender. I would have been more satisfied if his apology actually sounded sincere but his eyes only held amusement.

Fucking amusement!

I glared at him, so hard that my eyes actually began to tingle from straining them. Before I could even open my mouth to reply, a light buzzing chimed from my phone which was situated on my lap.

Giving Brandon one last glare, I unlocked my phone to see a message from Blake.

_____
Is he bothering you?
_____

I looked up from my phone, slowly meeting Blake's eyes. My heart rate increased once I saw how on edge he was. His knuckles were turning white from gripping the table too hard, the vein in his neck bulging underneath his skin.

Did I have that effect on him? Was he really worried about me?

"Why don't you text your little boyfriend that your fine and do the fucking work" My body jolted up from Brandon's angry voice. Slowly turning around, I tried not to show that I was effected by him. It was like something in him switched. No mr nice guy, or what ever the hell he was trying to be earlier. Instead his light blue eyes were glazed over in complete anger, a bitter scowl plastered onto his face as he shot me a hard glare.

I gulped, switching off my phone before going back to the questions on the task sheet in front of me.

"Don't think I haven't forgotten what Blake did to me Heaven" again, my skin crawled once he said my name. Words couldn't describe how uncomfortable he made me feel. How on edge I felt being around him. I was too afraid to meet his eyes, the angry and confident aroma I had going on earlier, had immediately vanished away and now has been replaced by fear. God how much I hated feeling this way, feeling so weak.

It was in this moment that I was thankful that Blake was in the library with us. It made me feel like I had a sense of protection from Brandon.
There were so many things I wanted to say to him. Like Blake did it to protect me from you. You deserved that beating! He's stronger then you will ever be!

However, I stayed silent, not wanting to agitate him anymore then I already have.

"Aww gone mute now have we? Not so tough as I thought" he taunted me again. I bite my tongue from telling him to fuck off. Who does he think he is?

Instead of taking my glare as a hint to shut up, he kept going. "now this is what is going to happen. You do the assignment for the both of us, and at the end of the day you can give me my sheet. How does that sound?"

My eyes narrowed instantly at this. There was no way that I was going to do the assignment all on my own!

"Not going to happen" I glared at him.

My skin prickled uncomfortably once he let out another bitter chuckle.

"Oh I'm sorry, let me rephrase that question for you. You WILL do my half of the assignment and you WILL give it to me at the end of the day" he said.

"And what will you do if I say no?" My voice faltered, as I stared at him wearily.

"I'll finish what I started Friday night" he gritted out. My heart felt like it had shattered inside of my chest from his words. My skin prickled with goosebumps, anxiety slowly starting to trickle within me. Brandon's cold eyes bored into mine, a sinister glint swirling though his blue eyes. He was crazy. Completely crazy!

I frantically looked over at Blake.

"don't fucking look at him!" Brandon slammed his hand on the table. I immediately flinched away from him.

"He might be a skilled fighter but he's no flash. He can't protect you straight after maths class, I doubt he would be able to get to you in time baby." Tears began to prickle at the corners of my eyes. I felt hopeless, disgusted. What was I going to do? I was scared, scared because I knew Brandon wasn't bluffing, scared because I knew Blake couldn't find out. He couldn't save me this time.

"Now. Will you do my half of the assignment?" I swallowed the bile that was running up my throat. He questioned me nicely, mostly because he knew that he already had my answer.

"Yes." I whispered.

"That's a good girl, baby" he leaned in closer towards me, causing me to cower away from him, pressing my back as much as I could against my chair. I began to breathe heavily as he slowly gave me his paper, trailing his finger along my hand before getting up and walking off.

Bringggggg

I tried to hold back my tears once the school bell rang. Slowly gathering my things, I looked over his paper to see that the equations were similar to the ones on my sheet. I will use the same formula that I used for my questions. My last class of the day was English, I would have to finish it then.

"What the fuck did he say to you?" I jumped at the sound of Blake's voice. He came striding up to me with a deep scowl plastered onto his face. I knew he was angry. It made me second guess telling him what Brandon had said to me.

My heart rate speed up, feeling vulnerable under his intense stare. I debated whether on telling him or not. Should I? Was it just going to make things worse?

I slowly met his eyes, before plastering a fake smile on my face. "Nothing. Nothing at all."
