-------------------------------------> Picture of Connor updated...what a jerk...but a hot jerk ;)

Anyway, read and you'll find out! ;)

Shoe shopping. Ice cream. Football. Things I hadn't enjoyed or even had in a long time. So I decided that sometime soon I was going to take my truck to the mall, get some ice cream, buy some new shoes, and watch a football game. Maybe even get a massage.....

But of course, this couldn't happen until I was out of school. Which completely sucks by the way, if none of you knew. I'm pretty sure you do though.

I was walking my way from Physics when I felt a vibration. Yeah, yeah, I know. It sounds awkward. Well get your mind out of the gutter!

Bzzzz.....bzzzzzz.....bzzzzzzzz......

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and answered.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked.

"Nothing much," Adrian replied smoothly. " I was hoping you would accompany me to the mall today."

"That is so wierd! I was just thinking of going to the mall! You practically read my mind from....hey, where are you?"

"I'm passing through the Building C."

 "Oh, okay. Well, meet me at my locker and we can go after school toda--"

Smack!

"Hey, you stupid bitch! Watch where you're going!"

So, you'll never guess what I walked around a corner to find. You know those bullies that were stuffing that kid in the trash can? Yeah, you guessed it. Here they were torturing this kid again.

So clearly I had a choice to make this time. Would I walk away like a coward, or be the Jamie I used to be, Jamie Defender of the Weak?

"Jamie, what's going on?" Adrian asked tensely. He had heard the guy call me bitch. His voice was thick with worry. "Jamie, talk to me, are you alright? What's going on? Answer me damn it!"

I looked at the young boy. "Are you alright?"

He scowled at me. "Like you give a shit, slut!"

Well, I deserved that. I had left him there as he begged me for help. I let him get stuffed in a trash can and covered with crud. I deserved everything word he threw at me.

I looked at the guy holding him, the head bully, I thought. "Leave him alone." I said.

He laughed and the other four joined him a split second afterward. "Like we're going to listen to you. Don't worry, you'll be next. Grab her."

"Jamie? Jamie? I'm on my way!" I heard the tiny buzz from the phone. I dropped it. If I was gonna take these assholes out, I couldn't hang on to my phone.

The guy nearest me reached for my wrist but I smacked it away and kicked him in the nuts. The second guy ran at me like he was gonna tackle me and I quickly side-stepped. He flew past me and face planted. He lay on the floor and held his face. The third and fourth guy tried to rush me both at once but I rolled to the side and knocked one out by his legs. He crumpled, taking out the other guy. I laughed. All around me, guys were rolling on the floor, almost crying like little babies.

The head bully looked at me with such anger. He pushed the kid down to the floor and stepped towards me. The kid, with one single look at me, bolted down the hallway and out of sight. The guy, clearly a football player reddened. "Jason, Rick, Eddie, Tyler! Get up! Are you gonna let a girl get the best of you?"

"She hits like a dude, Connor," said the first guy I'd kicked the crap out of. He was holding his nuts.

I almost smiled. But I realized I was in a bigger situation than I had anticipated. Connor, that's what the guy had called him, looked at me. I recognized what the flicker of the eyes behind me and the smirk meant a second too late. Before I could whip around, a hand gripped my long brown locks and pulled hard. I cried out and went down.

Connor stepped over me and laughed. His hand went to my throat and pulled me up. He pressed me against the wall, his body pressing hard. "Do you like this?" He asked, pressing closer. "You know, I could show you a real good time if you weren't such a bitch."

Then he pulled back his hand and bitch slapped me so hard I saw stars. I cried out again but held strong. I tried to struggle and squirm away but it wasn't working. It was getting very hard to breath. "Just wait," I spit acidly, " You'll regret you ever touched me."

Connor smiled. "Why is that?"

"This is why asshole."A very pissed voice said.

And all the pressure went off my neck. I sucked in air and floundered on the floor like a fish. Adrian knelt down on Connor and started to punch. Over and over and over.

I got up with much difficulty and pulled Adrian off and up. He started at him again and I pulled. "Adrian, stop! He's not worth it!" Connor got up and bolted. I didn't notice until now that the other four had been long gone.

"He hit you. Jamie! I'm going to fucking kill him!" Adrian's face was so filled with anger, it amazed me that he could get so mad that someone had hit me. Me.

"You care that much?" I asked, choking up.

Adrian brought his hand up and stroked me cheek, where there was soon to be a bruise, I just knew it. It hurt a bit, and I winced. Then, all of a sudden I was in tears, balling like a baby. Adrian wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. I cried and cried. When I pulled back, Adrian looked at me. And out of nowhere, his lips were suddenly on mine. Just like that.

They were soft and warm and full of such emotion. And I didn't pull back. My head told me 'No! Think about Jake!', but my heart told me not to move. And I didn't. When the kiss was over, I was breathing heavy.

"Wow," I said and he nodded. He pulled me close again and kissed my forehead.

"Come on, let's get out of here." he said, and took my hand.

All I could think was what is going on?
