Quarantined with the Mysterious Guy

15

"Hey look your girlfriend is here." He said slowly walking towards me. He had this dirty smirk on his face. I felt so frustrated I ran towards him pushing him.

"What did you do? What did you do to him?" I shouted.

"Oh he got what he deserved." He pushed me back nearly making me trip but I managed myself. I ran to Zach.

"Zach are you alright? Talk to me." I said as he slowly sat up.

"I told you to stay in car."

"And I'm glad I didn't. Careful." I held him and made him lean on the wall.

"Oh look at the cheesy drama. The whore is helping the pathetic!" He laughed.

I stood up and walked straight to him. "And a looser is watching it. Even more cheesier." I said that in his face.

I heard Zach shout "No!" And suddenly I was being pulled by my hair and thrown to the floor.

"You think you're smart huh? Zach deserves the worst. Don't get in the way bitch. Or you'll get it." I tried catching my breath. I saw him walk back towards Zach and I couldn't get up to run after him again. I looked around and saw a rock. I aimed at him and it hit his back.

"Now we are really being bitchy?" He turned around and started walking towards me. I was frozen not knowing what to do. I searched for some more rocks but there were none. I tried getting up but my knees were hurting. I think they got bruised.

"Don't!" I heard Zach wince in pain. He was almost close and suddenly he flew straight to the wall. I could barely see who he was but he was hitting him. He held him holding against the wall and punched repeatedly. I slowly tried getting up getting hold of myself but I almost fell until he grabbed me.

"Careful Josie!" He said holding me by my waist.

"Luke? Wher- how- what are you doing here?" He pulled me to some light and made me sit beside Zach.

"I saw you run from the store. I waited that you might be back but then I sensed something was wrong. Are you alright?"

He leaned down checking for my bruised knees. "Yeah I'm fine, Zach's not well. Can I borrow your phone?" He gave me his and turned to Zach to help him.

"Hello 911."

Soon the police officers came and took him away, mom dad came too and they helped Zach get in dad's car while was talking to Luke.

"I thought you hated me." I said sitting at my car's passenger seat.

"Not really. I did but things were twisting so fast. First you're out of the group then you're back in. Then you reject Matt and he's my man you know. I thought you were always that dark bitch under that innocent nerd but I was wrong. I'm sorry."

"It's fine. Thankyou so much for helping us out. I didn't know what would've happened if-"

"Hey don't say that, what ends well stays well." He said.

"That's so cheesy!" I scrunched my nose trying to show the disgust.

"I don't know, read in some preschool book or something." We laughed. Later my mom drove me home in my car. Dad mended Zach in his room because hospital was too dangerous because of the virus. My mom put a bandaid on my scared knee.

"Does it hurt?" She asked.

"A little bit." It was red and a bit swollen.

"Josie get in here." I heard my dad shout. He seemed pretty angry.

I walked in there and I saw Zach with his chest wrapped in bandages and a red eye with bruised cheek.

"Yes dad?" I asked.
