The fight

I sowly shut the door making sure I don't get noticed. Rather unfortunate he caught sight of me. Without a second thought, I made my way through the crowd of testosterone and oestrogene filled teenagers.

“Aud.” I heard Jess call from somewhere inside the crowd. I couldn't stop, all I needed at that point in time was to weep.  Once at the porch, I felt my stomach twist again, this wasn't due to the alcohol anymore there was no doubt it was due to the awful scene I witnessed. I walked along the concrete path which led me to a human free vegetable patch. Without the next tick of a clock I rushed to the patch went down on my knees and emptied the semiliquid  brownies I ingested a couple of hours ago. 

I couldn't stop replaying the scene I witnessed seven minutes ago. I began to breath heavily as warm tears rolled down my cheeks.

Jess was right, Nick is nothing but a jerk. He has actually been going out with me all this while for a bet. What a fool I've been all this time.

“Nick doesn't love you Aud. Heard him betting five hundred bucks to date you for a year. ”

“I know you hate him Jess but didn't know you'll get as far as making up stories for me to breakup with him. I love him and he loves me too that's what's important. ”

She sighed. “If he makes you happy then fine, I just don't want you hurt.”

I threw up some more and soon I couldn't feel my body. I sat down on the lawn, buried my face in my knees and began sobbing.

“Hey!” Scott said squatting in front of me. I got my face off my knees. He reached for it and wiped the lone tear which was making its way to my lips. “ Are you alright? ”

I got my face off his hold and wiped it with the back of my palms.

“Yeah I'm fine.” I sniffed “ What are you doing here?”

He got to his full height and stretched out his right hand to me. I stared at it for a bit before grabbing it. His hands were surprisingly warm, I could fill the complete flow of his warmth through my body. The night was awfully  cold, I regretted not holding my crew-neck sweater. Goose bumps began filling my arm and slowly spread to my forearm.

“You looked awfully worried when I saw you. So I decided to follow.” 

Once on my feet, I dusted my jeans and rubbed my arms with my palms so the friction could provide a little warmth. 

“Like I said, I'm fine.”

“I can see that.” he chuckled, suddenly he began to unbotton his demin jacket.

“What are you doing?” 

He ignored my question and continued with his act, those coffee brown eyes totally locked with mine. He walked towards me getting the jacket off his body. “ Here.” He gently lowered the jacket on my shoulders. 

“Next time put on something warm ok?” 

I nodded. 

His hands were still on my shoulders when Jess showed up. Breathing heavily like she just ran a marathon.

“Damn it girl! ” she held both knees in support “ Just spent twenty hefty minutes trying to spot you. What the hell is wrong Aud? Nick is in search of you......Hope he hasn't hurt you?”

I tried to speak but was soon interrupted by Nicks presence. He walked past Jess to Scott and I.

“Get your hands off my girl.” He snarled. Scott lifted both hands off my shoulders in surrender. 

I looked at Nick in disgust. I felt my stomach twist one more time. He walked to me and cupped my cheek.

“I'm sorry babe, It's not what you think.”

I let out a faint smile and pointed my finger to his chest “ You know nothing about what I think Nick. You lied to me, you never loved me—”

“You so wrong. I l—” 

“Just spare me that Nick. I don't want to set eyes on you again.”

“Aud please hear me out—”

“leave.”

He tried to plead again but Scott cut him off “ You heard her dude.”

Within a twinkle of an eye Nick swung his clenched fist into Scotts face. “ Who the hell do you think you are?”  he spoke over Scotts body on the lawn.

“Nick stop!” I screamed

Scotts nose was bleeding. He held his nose and winced twice before struggling to get on his feet. Nick didn't seem satisfied with his action. He balled both hands in a fist and landed them on Scott one after the other. I kept screaming but Nick wouldn't listen. “ Next time you think twice before speaking DUDE! ” 

He got off Scott and began to walk. I watch Nick leave, barely ten steps away from us, I saw nothing but Scott holding Nick by his neck and pinning him against the wall. When that happened.....I can't tell. Something caught my attention, something unusual about Scotts eyes. They weren't coffee brown anymore— they were shiny gold. I stared at him in horror not knowing what to do. This wasn't Scott, it was someone else. His grip tightened around Nicks neck. If I don't stop him he was going to kill Nick.

Before I could react, something swish past me getting Scott out of Nick. It happened so fast that I looked totally confused. Now Nick was lying on the lawn with a horrified look on his face. His mouth was agape and he didn't move. Scott on the other side looked unconscious. I ran to his body and knelt in front of him.

“Scott.” I called out and shook him but to no avail.

“Don't worry he'll be fine. ” A voice said from behind me. I turned to see blond long haired boy with ice blue eyes and an unpleasant smirk on his face. He was leaning against a tree arms crossed. “ I think I deserve a thank you, Don't you think? ”

“Who are you and what did you do to him?” I questioned 

“Oh! Forgive my manners. I'm Alex. Like I said Audrina...” he smirked again. “ He'll be fine.”

How on this planet earth did this unknown, cute, arrogant guy know my name? I watch him walk to Jess and murmured a few words to her, he did same to Nick, they both walked away as if nothing ever happened, never looking back. 

Scott's coughing made me focus on him. “ Hey, are you OK?”

“Yeah I'm fine.” he coughed again.

“See! ” Alex said “ People of his kind don't give up, do they?” his back faced us and there was no doubt he pasted that evil smirk on his face. He walked towards me,with his ice blue eyes locking mine. “ Go home!” he ordered.

I don't know how, but I magically realized myself obeying to it. I felt like there was someone else inside me doing what I didn't want to do.

“What are you doing here?” Scott questioned.

“ What ingratitude! I just saved your life and that's what I get?” he chuckled.

“You didn't answer me.” Scott said as he stood up.

“I am here for the same reason you are here dude. And you should be thankful I came just in time.” he laughed. “ If not you would've been the bad guy— you know what I mean.” Alex raised his right brow.

“I didn't need your help. ” 

“Chill teddy, I mean no harm. Just want us to make a deal.” he paused thinking Scott will ask him the obvious question but continued when his silence persisted. “ I kindly want you to let me have the girl and I wipe every bit of what happened tonight off their brains.”

Scott smiled. “You are making yourself the worst enemy, next time you see me remember this I'll reap every part that makes up your lifeless body and watch it burn.”  with those words, he walked away not looking back.
