Chapter 7
"Don what are you doing?" Nick said.
"This is between me and her." Don said pushing Nat harder.
Nick looked at Nat who was shaking and almost in tears.
"Let her go." Nick said.
Don looked at Nick, "What are you going to do about it?"
"Just let her go and nobody gets hurt."
"What are you going to do? Your so skinny and look at me.. No."
"Just let her go." Nick said calmly.
"She's my girlfriend and were talking."
"Doesn't look like talking to me."
Don pushed Nat against the locker again and threw her down to the ground.
"What are you going to do to me then?:
Nick drew his fist back and hit Don in the chin. Don fell down when Nick went up to Nat who was just sitting there crying. He hugged her.
"You three come to my office." The dean said. Nick helped Nat walk since she was a little weak.
They sat down and waited for Don to come. Nat put her head on Nicks shoulder.
"Why did you do it?" She asked him.
"Cause I did."
"Thanks."
"You don't have to thank me. I wanted to do it."
"I've heard that before."
"Let's just see how much trouble I get in."
"Don't worry I'll help you out of this one."
"I know."
Then Don and the dean walked in.
"Okay, what happened Natalie?"
"What? Your asking her first? She's going to lie." Don said.
"Let her talk everyone will talk. Go on Natalie."
"Don walked up to me angry at m as usual. He asked me what my problem was on Saturday night. I told him I didn't want to do it. So he pushed me against the locker and told me that no one has the right to say no to me. So then Nick came up and you well know the rest."
"Is this true Don?"
"I never said that she was the one who tried to get me to do it. I was asking her what her problem was when she did and I didn't want to."
"Natalie when did you get your black eye?"
"Saturday night."
"Don how did that happen?"
"I punched her trying to say no." He lied.
"You know Don that's a lie and you know it. I really doubt you would do that punching a girls eye for saying no. Now if she didn't want to it that's what it sounds like."
"Fine, okay she was telling the truth."
"As for you Nick why did you do it?"
"I don't know I just did. I didn't want to see her hurt."
"Well, I'm not going to do anything to you but next time do it without hitting."
"Okay, Thanks." Nick said.
"Don stay, were going to talk about suspending you.
Natalie and Nick go down to the nurse. Nick put some ice on that hand and Natalie try to clam down." They both got up and said there thank you's and went to the nurse.
Nick took some ice and put it on his arm. Nat took a few sips of juice to clam herself down.
Nick got up from the couch he was sitting on and went up to Nat.
"How are you doing?" He asked.
"Okay, scared that's about it."
"You got me."
"As soon as you heal up. Besides that how is it?"
"Okay, ice helps."
"Yeah looks like it." She laughed.
They later went back to class.
