Protecting Your Own

Chapter 17

   I didn't really know what was going on. I was being whisked out of the football game by a very angry looking Wren. I'm not even sure he knew what was going on but my thoughts drifted towards Laken and what we were going to do about him since he had to finish the game.

   "My- my dad." I managed to stumble out as I was dragged along. I wasn't walking fast enough to keep up so I just kept stumbling over my feet.

   "I will call him as soon as I get you in the car and get you out of here." He said in a firm voice. We were far away enough from the school that I couldn't see the game anymore, I couldn't see Laken.

   "But Laken." I interrupted.

   "I will cause some sort of distraction to get the game ended. Come on." We had reached my car at this point where Nadine was still safely tucked in the back. She was still asleep. We should probably check her for alcohol poisoning.

   "is she okay?"

   "Beverly." Wren snapped and turned me around. "I don't care about literally anything else right now except to get you out understood. I need you to get in the car and drive. I don't care where you go, get Nadine home and go somewhere safe. Head Quarters if you can." He said firmly to make sure I was listening. I nodded. I wasn't a child, I knew what to do. "I will call you when I have left and have Laken with me I will call your dad, make sure no one is following you and go."

   I couldn't even say no or fight back. Keys were shoved in my hand and I was pushed in the car. He locked me in and I watched as he stormed away. I glanced back at Nadine and groaned, trapped in a car when all the action is literally at my school and I still cant do anything.

   I started the car and whipped out of the parking lot. I knew well enough where Nadine lived, she had thrown enough parties, everyone knew where she lived.

   I began driving towards her house, checking my mirrors every few seconds to make sure I wasn't being chased.
