Chapter 7: What did you do?

Chapter 7: What did you do?

It had only been a couple days since I had found out it was Dean who had attacked me.

He must have been under Britney's control. I've noticed that she can hypnotize the guys into doing what she wants. It just came to me, thats why he dumped Julie, Britney probably told him to.

I ran to find Britney so I could ask a few questions. I saw her walking to lunch so I stopped her. "Britney, hey can I ask you a quick question?"

"No." she replied and turned to walk away.

I grabbed her arm, "Listen I know you were the one that planned the attack. I just want to ask one question."

"Why haven't you told anyone?" she asked.

I thought about that for a minute and I couldn't come up with an answer. Soon I was asking myself the same question, why haven't I told anyone, I knew who did it. But I pushed that thought aside, "It doesn't matter, you made Dean," I held up a picture if him, "hurt me didn't you?"

I saw guilt in her eyes, "Look he wasn't supposed to hurt you like that, he was just supposed to scare you. I ran away when I saw what he was doing. Look I'm sorry, wait how did  you know he did that?"

"I've been getting my memory back slowly." I said not really focusing on reality, all I could do was think of what happened and if what she said was true.

"Oh." she said then turned and walked away.

When I came home I put down my bag and decided to go tell Julian what I found out today. Even though I wasn't completely comfortable with him I still wanted to give him a chance.

I knocked on the door and his mom answered, "Hi Scarlett, um Julian can't talk right now, sorry." she said.

"But I really need to talk to him." I said.

"I'm sorry but you have to go." she said.

Before she could closes the door I heard Julian say something, "Wait mom its okay." I could see him sitting on the couch. She let me in, and I walked over to him.

I gasped his eye was black and his jaw was swollen. His knuckles were bruised and his arms were bruised.

"I know I look horrible." he said still smiling.

"What did you do?" I asked my eyes wide.

"I felt bad for not being there when Sea attacked you so I found him and I ... well as you can see." he gestured to himself.

"You look horrible." I said finally sitting down.

"You should see the other guy." he said.

"Really, he's pretty strong." I said.

"He looks way worse."

We both laughed and Julian grabbed his rib.

"Did you crack a rib?" I asked.

"I guess." he said still laughing.

"Anyway I came to tell you that I talked to Britney." he stopped laughing and looked at me dead in the eyes.

"What did you ask?" he asked.

I told him everything that she told me and everything else I knew.

"So if Britney is telling the truth he only was supposed to scare you?" he asked.

"Yes." I said.

We sat there in silence for a minute then I got up to leave. "Well I guess I'll see you later." I said awkwardly.

Julian got up and hugged me. I just hugged him back, I really needed a hug even if it was from him.

When I walked home I was tired so I went straight to bed. I was interrupted when I heard the door bell ring. My mom got in and sent them to my room.

To my suprise it was Hunter, "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Julian told me what you told him." he said. I laughed I couldnt believe it now they had each others phone numbers.

"Oh, did he tell you what he did?" I asked.

"Yes."

"I can't believe he would do that."

"I can, he would do anything for you, cant you see that?" he asked.

I guess I could but it didn't click until now.

"Scarlett he loves you. If you cant see that then you lost more than your memory."

It was awkward hearing him say this to me, it was almost like he pulled the words out of Julians head. Almost like he felt the same way.

"Oh." was all I managed to say. I felt like an idiot.

He rubbed the back of his neck and said, "Would like to go get some coffee after school sometime?" he asked.

I smiled and said, "I would love to." and with that he turned around and left.

What a day.
