All of the guys stood there staring at me. Then they turned back to Damon and continued hitting him.

"Listen you idiots, do you have problems with hearing? I told you to stop RIGHT THIS SECOND," I looked at them with my angry eyes as if trying to scare them away. Remind me to never try anything they do in movies because as you can see it never works. Anyway I won't drop this act. I have to make them believe I'm not scared.

"Oh this is soooooooooo cute," said one of them with a sarcastic voice and signing others to laugh together with him.

"Bennet is this how you deal with your problems? You're asking a GIRL to come and protect you from us?" said the other one.

I was about to say something that would surely prove them I'm not just a simple girl, but seeing that Damon decided to say something himself.

"Shut your dirty mouths or I'll break all of them one by one and what comes to you Bailey go right now. This is not your problem," he looked at me in a way as if he wanted to kill me at this moment. ME and not those jerks that were actually killing HIM right now. Great! We won't ever be able to reach justice in this world, will we?

"Aw so sweet you're telling your Juliet to run away because Romeo's gonna die right now," the fourth one said trying to make a joke, which wasn't funny obviously.

"She's not his Juliet can't you see that? He won't be able to get her ever!" the kind of "captain" of their group said.

"Enough talking let's go back to work and beat the shit out of this dude and you beauty can go and take a walk somewhere else," he said winking at me. As he was wearing a mask I could easily notice that wink.

"You idiots, don't think that if I'm a girl you can boss me around. I'm not going anywhere and you have to stop right now," I am still feeling myself like a cool heroine from a movie. I should stop that because again it's not working.

They decided that it's easier to ignore me. They turned away from me and again started hitting Damon with their feet. One of them even raised his fist to hit Damon. After a couple of seconds I realized that the fist wasn't meant for Damon, but for me. Damon punched him at that moment and the guy fell on the floor.

"BAILEY...IF YOU...DON'T...GO...RIGHT NOW...I'M GONNA...KILL YOU..." he said between the hits.

"Ha ha ha dude, you can kill her, if YOU stay alive," the main guy said and I knew that I had to do something. I knew for sure right now that they didn't really intend to let him live and after trying to hit me I knew they had to be taken care of.

I turned away and ran a little bit farther from that place. I called Matt right away.

"Maaaatty!"

"What's happening Bay Bay?"

"Please come behind the university, please be quick there's no time for me to explain why."

I hurried back to where those guys were to check whether Damon was alright. They were still hitting him.

Matt came in two minutes and I knew that now everything would be alright, as Matt's fighting skills are just amazing.

He went into the middle of the fight and started punching them one by one and my heart finally felt at ease. Actually, I haven't ever been a violet person, but sometimes people just have to get whatever they deserve.

I went closer to Damon, took him by his arms and pulled him to the closest tree for him to lean towards it.

"We have a problem Bay," Matt said after a couple of seconds.

"What's the problem?"

"They ran away. I'm sorry Bay, I just couldn't maintain control over all of them," he said with a sad face.

I got up and went closer to Matt.

"It's okay Matty, you did enough. Thank you very much," I said kissing his cheek.

"We'll catch them don't worry. Bay Bay I have to go back, Brittany's waiting for me," he said smiling at me.

"Sure sure, go ahead."

Matt left and now I'm alone with Damon. I look at his face and carefully observe every bruise. They must hurt a lot. Just like always my thoughts get interrupted by someone or something. This time it was Damon who started slowly opening his eyes.

"What are you doing here?" he said with a cold tone.

"What do you mean? I'm waiting to see whether you're okay or not."

"I think you're waiting to see whether I'll thank you and your stupid friend for coming to my rescue."

"Are you kidding right now? If you're not, then you are the one who's stupid."

"Now listen to me. I don't need you or your hero friend to come and protect me. I don't need your pity or whatever and I know you did it out of pity. So, don't do that and go live your happy damn life. Don't ever interfere in my problems."

I got up and now I was really angry.

"Now YOU listen to me. I don't care what you think about me and my actions, but just to clarify I didn't do it out of pity, but out of concern and kindness. I would do this for anyone and everyone. So, just like you told me once, don't overreact and stop pitying yourself. It's not me who pities you, but you are the one who does that. A simple thank you would've been enough. You didn't have to make a scene or something. We just tried to help you not to be killed and this is what we get."

I said and turned away to leave this jerk alone with his problems. I saw his expression the last second before turning away and it has changed. It changed from anger to something else I didn't want to bother figuring out.

I took a couple of steps, but then stopped. I took a couple of band-aids I had in my bag, turned back and threw it at him.

"If you don't need them then just throw them away or something. Do whatever you want. But you know what your problem is? Your problem is that you can't ever ask people for help. You do it because of having dignity or some stupid feeling you feel inside, but you can't ask people for help even if you need it. Bye," I said and left.

I went to my Music and Literature class, as the break was already over. Today I knew that I wouldn't be able to concentrate on listening to the professor because of the boiling anger I was feeling inside. I took my phone out of the bag and turned the recorder on. I'll just listen to the lecture later.

When the professor is about to start the lecture Damon enters the classroom, mumbles a "I'm sorry" to the professor and sits where he usually does. I just looked at him for a second and that was done unconsciously. When you're in a classroom and someone opens the door you just can't help but look to see who that is.

I was so angry with him that I wouldn't let myself look at him even once, though I felt his eyes on me for a couple of times. He wasn't late today, he said sorry to the professor and he was alone, not with a girl. The demon really needed some change in his life I guess. Whatever.

I just can't wait for the lecture to end so I can go home. I really don't want to see him anymore today. The professor finally says that the class is over and I'm happy to hear that. I get up and start putting my copybook in the bag and then turn to go, but notice Damon standing in front of me.

I turn away and try to leave the other way, but he runs and stand in front of me again. I look at him, then look away trying to make him understand that I'm not interested in talking to him. I try to leave, but he reached out for my arm and stopped me. I noticed that he put the band-aid I gave him on his hand. The bruise of his hand probably appeared after he punched the guy for me, but I don't care. Whatever he did didn't give him the right to talk to me like that.

"What do you want?"

"I want to talk to you."

"Well, I don't want to. So, let me go," I said coldly.

"And I want to," he said again trying to be cool or I don't know what.

"Nobody's asking for your opinion. Moreover, you want to talk to ME then it's MY opinion that counts," I said trying to take my hand out of his. I raise my eyes so that they're looking straight into his and take out my hand out of his. I ignore the fact that my arms was red because of grip, I just show him my disgust towards him with my eyes and leave the classroom.
