John POV
~~~~~~~~

One of the reasons why I didn't want her around Thomas is because I know his reputation. He was supposed to graduate with me and Tyler but didn't pass the CAHSEE, a huge test that determines if you'll graduate on time or not.

But I guess he's finally graduating. He's also known for being a sadist. He enjoys to see people in pain, especially in his bed. More than one of the girls I've slept with told me that.

And I have to protect Delilah from him.

Delilah POV
~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh come on. Can't beat a girl." I grin at Thomas while dribbling the ball between my legs and behind my back.

"I didn't think you were this good." He breathes. We made a bet that whoever won would buy the winner In N Out. Some how half the school found out and we have a whole bleachers section full of people. I'm used to it since I'm on varsity basketball and volleyball.

"Well you thought wrong." I grin, and rush past him and doing a perfect lay up. When I land back on my feet and grin.

"I win." I say and the crowd screams and claps.

I bow to the crowd and I see Cece there with Tyler grinning and waving.

"That's impossible." He screams. He really looks mad and I get scared. I look at John behind him with a worried expression. John walked over to him and began to calm him down while Tyler and Cece came over to me. "Are you okay ?" She whispered in my ear.

I shook my head looking over to Thomas glaring over at Tyler's arm wrapped around my shoulder. "I think he's dangerous." I whisper back and Tyler and Cece pull me away from the gym.

When we get to the parking lot after I say bye to Cece and Tyler who went home, I realized that I didn't drive today. I carpooled with Cece and Tyler. "Fuck." I mumble to myself.

"Need a ride ?" I hear behind me. I turn around to see Thomas. "Umm. Yeah. I forgot I carpooled." I say to him. "My car's over here." He says, and points a red Prius. We walk over to it and I expect for him to open the passenger door for me like John always does, and like he did on our date.

But he just walks over to the drivers side and gets in. I get in too and buckle myself.

"Good job today by the way." He mumbled while starting to drive. "Thanks." I say back while playing with my thumbs. I see that we're not going the way to my house.

"Umm. Where are we going ?" I ask him. "Somewhere." He mumbled.

"And where is that somewhere ?" I demand from him.

"Somewhere okay ?!" He yells. I cower back into the seat.

He drives into an In N Out parking lot and walks out of the car.

He doesn't even look back to see if I'm coming. I get out too and he locks the car.

He goes in line and I go next to him. "Go sit down." He demands and I go somewhere to sit.

After a while, he comes to sit across from me with food.

He passes me 2 burgers and 2 large fries and a large cup.

I stand up to get my drink and he stops me. "Where are you going." He asks- no demands from me. "To get a drink." I say raising the hand with the cup that he's not squeezing to death. "You have to ask for permission to get up Lilah. Now sit the fuck down and ask for my fucking permission, you fucking slut." He says and squeezes my hand for emphasis. I wince at the pain.

I sit down and gulp down the tears threatening to spill. "Can I go get a drink please." "Of course babe, go ahead." He says and smiles at me.

I quickly get up with my tray and walk to the cash register while he's not looking.

"Can I get a to go bag ?" I say and be girl smiles while passing a bag to me. I quickly put my food in there and fill my cup with root beer and Dr Pepper and run outside while taking my phone out.

"Can you pick me up please ? I'm at the gas station next to In N Out." I say and hang up.

After about 5 minutes of me trying to hide myself from Thomas driving his Prius around looking for me, my ride arrives and I run in and out my seatbelt on.

"What's wrong ?" John says. I'm scared that if I say anything, I'll burst into tears, so I shake my head.

"Hey, what's wrong Lilah ?" He says and caresses my cheek. "He's- he's crazy." I say and burst into tears, just like I was trying not to do.

He pulls over on the side of the highway and unbuckles my seatbelt and pulls me over to his lap.

"What's wrong Lilah ? Tell me. Who's crazy ?" He whispers. "Thomas." I whisper and cover my mouth from another sob.

"He made me ask him for permission to stand up at In N Out. After he called me a slut." I say and he gasps of anger.

"I'll kill him." He whispers.

After a while of just holding each other, I notice how close we are and I move in to his lips.

"What are you doing ?" He whispers and I shush him while putting my finger on his lips. He flicks his tongue out to lick my finger and I don't know how... But it kinda turns me on.

I wrap my arm around his neck and move to straddle his lap. He hesitantly grabs my hips.

I gasp at the Sparks and shocks I feel when my shirt rides up a little and he touches my bare skin. "Jesus Christ." He mutters when I attach my lips to his ear lobe and tug lightly.

"I want you." I whisper into his ear and he moans softly.

"Just give in John. Give in to temptation." I whisper.

"Fuck it." He says and roughly kisses me.
