Puppy Dog Eyes

Accident

Damon's POV

"Would you calm down before you fuckin' kill us!"

"Okay I-I'm sorry!"

"Put your foot on the damn break dumbass!"

We come to a halt and I take a deep breath.

"This is never going to work if you keep panicking."

"Okay I can do it, I can do it!" She grips the wheel again and presses on the gas.

"Okay slowly turn the corner around the cone." I instruct. She does as told with a big smile.

It was kinda cute.

"Alright now put it in park." She does as told again and I pat her on the back.

"Congrats on not ruining my car! That would have been your ass."

"Do you think I'll pass the test?"

"As long as you don't freak out like earlier you should be alright."

"Thank you." She leans over, pressing a kiss to my cheek.

"Ew gross, I thought I told you not to kiss me when you wear that sticky stuff." I groan and wipe my cheek off.

"Oops." She smiles.

"Hey isn't that your friend?" I point at the redhead walking towards the car.

"He looks...angry?"

He was signaling for us to get out.

"What are you doing here?" Lylah asks as we get out of the car.

He doesn't answer and walks straight towards me before pushing me down on the ground.

"What are you doing?!" Lylah rushes towards us.

"Mikah no!" Lylah's other friend rushes over.

"Yeah what the fuck is your problem?!" I groan, standing back to my feet.

"You sick son of a bitch!" He pushes me again but I find my balance.

"I really don't want to fight you but I will if you touch me again!"

"Guys stop!" Lylah pushes him away.

"Lylah go get in my car." The redhead orders.

"Why?"

"She's not going anywhere with you!" I clench my fists at my sides.

"You stay the fuck away from her!" He grabs her upper arm.

"What are you doing? You sound like a crazy person." She tries to calm him down but he ignores her.

"Lylah I'm so sorry I didn't know he would do this." The other friend tries to console her.

"What did you tell him?" She questions.

"It's okay Lylah, he won't hurt you anymore." Red rubs her arm.

"Tell me what was said!" She shouts.

"I didn't fuckin' hurt her!" I argue.

"Liar!" He runs towards me and tackles me.

"Get the fuck off of me, what's your problem!" I punch him in the jaw and he falls over for a second.

"I know you raped her, you're going down motherfucker!" He threatens, standing to his feet.

"What?" Lylah and I both say in sync.

"Trevor told me everything!"

"Trevor? Why would you-" I could see her eyes flooding with tears.

"So you think I raped you?" My heart feels like it's being stomped on. I think I'm going to puke soon.

"I didn't say rape I swear!" Trevor pleads.

"You told me she was crying to you on the fucking phone." Mikah stalks towards them.

"Is this true?" I choke on my words.

"It wasn't about you, it was about me. I promise." She grabs my hand but I snatch away. "Trevor why did you tell him my business?!"

"I thought he knew about it already but then he told me you guys weren't really speaking- by that point it was too late and he wanted to come see you."

"I trusted you!"

"It was an accident." He sighs.

"Why were you crying Lylah? Please tell me the truth." I huff.

She looks up at me and then Mikah before looking at her feet. "I lied to you."

"About?"

"...I was a virgin alright!"

"No... but you said- Lylah why would you-"

"I was only thinking about you, I wanted you to enjoy yourself. I get that I was an idiot but it's over now." Her tone is louder but she could break at any second.

"I can't believe you let me hurt you Lylah." I let out a sigh. "Is this why you missed two days of school?"

"Can we drop this conversation. I mean we all understand now that I wasn't raped, end of story."

"Wait-" Mikah reaches for her but she steps closer to me.

"Can you take me home, I think we're done with our driving lesson." She wraps her arms around herself and nudges past me.

"Let's just go, she needs to cool off." Trevor pushes Mikah towards the other side of the empty parking lot.

I hop in the driver's seat and start the car up.

"I'll always put you first, I can't help it." She mumbles while looking out the window.

"Dumbass." I grunt before grabbing the back of her neck to kiss her forehead.

"Only for you."
