(15) the next day

Maggie looked up at me and swung her arms around me in the tightest huh she's ever giving me. I hugged her back leaning down to wisher in her ear

"I'm sorry"

She looked up at me giggled and smiled

"No silly thank you, he's been saying those things to me on private either over the phone or in the bathroom after he followed me in. I've been scared he'd do something after following me in, so thank you he deserved this" she said this crying but smiling

I hugged her then kissed her head gently walking her to out first class. We were able to sit wherever we want so we sat next to each other.

I helped her with her work all day since we had all the same classes. School had gone by so fast, our last class ended and we walked out to our lockers. We put our books away and walked out of school. We made it to my car I asked her

"Do you wanna go on our date now or a little bit later?"

"Now I wanna go now, I'm still shaking from this morning with Trey. I can't thank you enough"

Something was wrong I could tell, her voice was trembling. She was on the verge of tears.

"Baby let it out cry if you need but tell me why what's wrong I wanna help make it better"

"Derek he has a temper, he knows where we both live. He will probably be waiting outside of your house I've had it happen before. When I said no In the bathroom one day he grabbed my hips and pulled me in, I kicked him and ran but didn't tell anyone. He was at my house that afternoon I just ran to my friends house, making sure he didn't know where she lived I ran around a few blocks first. I don't wanna face him right now please can we do frozen yogurt now. He will be there when we get back but having a date with you will calm me down."

"That mother fucker, yes we can have the date now I'm sorry that happened trust me it won't happen again I'm going to have a chat with him tomorrow or if he's at my house I'll do it when we get there. I don't want you to ever feel scared ever. And please if he does that tell me don't hide it. You deserve to feel safe and comfortable not scars and alone."

She smiled while crying

"Thank you" she whispered

I nodded and we started driving to a place near school that served frozen yogurt. I texted my parents telling them that we were gonna get a treat before coming home. They said it more then ok so we stayed there for a while and ate till I knew she was calm. We were eating and talking while sitting close to each other. I spotted one of Treys friends standing across the staring at us.

I didn't say anything as I knew she was calming down.

"We should go now get in the car now bring whatever you have left." I was stern she didn't know why

"Why do you say it like that?"

"Just go now please"

We got into the car and before she could say anything I told her very nonchalantly

"Trey's friend is across the street staring at us and it is much safer in the car then out there at the tables"

She started to cry and tremble then we left I drove home. I saw him, Trey standing there in my drive way, just waiting for us
