My Hero

Riley’s P.O.V

The weekend had come around once again and I have not seen or heard from Denny since our little conversation we had on Monday morning. I knew I should not have told him what he said to me when he was drunk, but I aint one for lying…hate it. As for Denny he doesn’t seem to be giving a single flying f**k, think I have seen him with about five different girls in the space of four days, nice to know he really didn’t give a damn in the slightest about me, I should not be surprised I guess. Yes it pissed me off at first…now I aint gonna let it bother me anymore, he isn’t worth it…I deserve better than that. And first thing to help me stop bothering is a party tonight…a huge party at that, one of the frat boys from one of my classes invited me, a very cute one at that if I may add. I was going with a couple of girls from my classes. I was ready to let lose, dance, have fun and even have a few drinks even though I don’t usually drink, think I deserve it though. It was time to enjoy college the way I should me and stop worrying about some guy that doesn’t care what he does or who he hurts.

We had decided all to get ready at my dorm, there was a small group of four of us going. We all gave ourselves the once over, making sure everything was how it was meant to be before heading out. As I closed my dorm door over, turning around Denny was coming out of his dorm with yet another different girl…another notch on his bed post, good luck to her…actually good luck to any girl that goes near him. He looked up, seeing me and as soon as he did his jaw about hit the floor. Let’s say I am dressed completely different from I usually am…from what he is used to seeing me in. I had a tight, mini red dress on with a pair of killer black heels, my hair was in waves and my make-up was a lot brighter than usual. His eyes trailed my entire body before they actually fell on my face and he swallowed hard

“Hi.” He managed to breathe out

“Hi.” Was all I replied before heading off with my girls

“Riley wait up please, can we talk?” I heard him behind me

I stopped, rolling my eyes before turning to face him

“Nope! Busy. See you around Denny.” I said shaking my head

“Please?” he begged

The girl he was with, standing next to him, looking not very pleased that Denny’s full attention was on me. Can he not get a hint?

“You have had all week to talk so no we cannot talk.” I hissed before walking away from

“f**k!” I heard him hiss

My friends looked at me, raising a brow

“What was that all about? Did you have a thing with Denny?” Rachel asked

“I don’t even wanna talk about it. He is a jackass.” I said groaning

They soon got the hint that I never wanted to talk about it and dropped it. We headed to the frat house that was throwing the party, I swear mostly everyone on campus must be here.

“Time to get wasted.” Kay said excited, all of us agreeing with her

We headed in, staying close, trying to find drinks, ones that had not been touched or opened, it took time but we found some. Shots for starters, yes why not. Once we ha’;[ a couple of shots and grabbed ourselves some beer I looked around, trying to find Joey, the guy that had invited me here. I soon spotted him and he spotted me, a smirk appearing on his face as he did, making him way over to me.

“Damn Riley! You look smoking hot.” He said biting his lips, eyeing me up and down

“Thanks. Looking good yourself.” I winked which make him smirk

“Come dance with me.” he smiled taking my drink from me, sitting it down.

He grabbed my hand, leading me into the middle of the floor where everyone was dancing and pulled me close to him. I giggled, wrapping my arms around his neck as his fell on my hips and we were soon dancing to the beat of the music. I am not usually this type of girl but tonight I decided to be who I wanna be. I relaxed my body, moving it with his and he didn’t seem to be having any complaints. Our hips were rolling against one and others, his hands going a little wonder and I let him. All of a sudden I felt like someone was watching me, making me look up. I was right, there was someone watching me or should I say glaring at me? Guess who it was? Yes you guessed right…Denny.

Come on Riley, make him jealous…make him see what he is missing

Oh and there she is, though this time around I decided to agree with her, she was right. I kept my eyes on him as I danced with Joey. I smirked at him and the look on his face was priceless. Now he knows how I feel doesn’t he? There was a few girls trying to grab his attention but he was too busy with his full attention on me.

********

It was now 1am, the party was still in full swing. I was completely wasted, it had been worth it though cause I aint had this much fun in a long time. Denny had kept his distance from me, though he had been keeping a close eye on me all night. Joey and I had been getting on great, dancing, drinking, kissing, making out.

“Riley fancy sneaking off to one of the bedrooms for some fun.” He growled at me as he had me pressed against the wall

“Honestly Joey I am wasted, I should properly head back to my dorm.” I slurred out

“Are you for f*****g real?” he hissed, his full demeanour changing

“What?” I asked confused

“You have been f*****g teasing me all night, leading me on and now you are telling me no?” he hissed, grabbing my wrists a little too tightly

All if a sudden I was scared, he was scaring me and hurting me

“Joey stop, your hurting me.” I managed to squeak out

“Well maybe if you were not such a f*****g c**k tease we wouldn’t be in this situation. You can act the way you have been acting and then not put out.” He growled at me, his eyes dark and it was scaring the s**t out of me

“Please let me go.” I said trying to stop myself from crying

I wanted to push him away, run out but it was like I was frozen on the spot plus he had me trapped between him and the wall. I tried to pull my hands free from his grip but he tightened his grip. I swear it was gonna bruise.

“Joey please, you are scaring me.” I said like a timid little girl

The look on his face was evil and I was terrified on what he was gonna do. Next thing I knew he was getting pulled away from me

“She said f*****g stop.” I heard someone hiss…Denny

“And what you gonna do about it? This is none of your f*****g business Denny.” Joey hissed

Before I knew what was happening Denny’s fist connected with Joey’s face…hard, knocking him straight to the ground and Denny never stopped there. He jumped down on Joey, punching him again before grabbing him by the throat

“You stay the f**k away from her you sick bastard. I ever see you near her again I will f*****g kill you.” He hissed at him

Joey was laying there, too scared to say anything, showing how much of a coward he really was. Denny went to hit him again but I grabbed him, stopping him

“Denny please stop. He isn’t worth it.” I said staring at Denny

He paused for a moment, looking at me. He must have seen how scared I was. He nodded, standing to his feet, straightening himself out before coming over to me, taking my hand in his and leading us out of the house onto the courtyard.

“Riley are you ok?” he said worried

I nodded, not realising I was now crying. He reached for me, pulling me into his chest, holding me tightly against him. I clung to his top and broke down, sobbing. I have never been in a situation like that before…never been that scared and my writs were really sore. Denny held me tightly, stroking my hair

“Shh Riley. Your safe now, I got you.” He whispered

I pulled away from him, looking up at him

“Thank You.” I whispered, kissing his cheek

He reached in stroking my cheek gently

“Riley I always got your back. Are you gonna be ok?” he said

I nodded, he however never looked convinced. He looked down seeing my wrists. They were bright red, bruising starting to appear already and when he seen that his full face changed again, the anger from a few moments ago reappeared

“I am gonna f*****g kill him.” He hissed, going to pull away from, going back in to finish what he started

I reached for him, stopping him

“Please don’t. Can you take me back to my dorm please?” I asked looking at him hopeful

“Yes of course. Let’s go beautiful.” He smiled, taking his jacket off, placing it over my shoulder, before wrapping his arm around my shoulders, reaching down and kissing the top of my head

“I am staying with you tonight.” He whispered

I looked up at him, giving him a small smile

“Please.” I whispered out “Thank you again.” I added

With that he led us back to my dorm. I was ready for bed. As soon as we got back, I changed into my PJS climbing into bed, Denny soon following, pulling me close to him.

“Get some sleep Riley.” He whispered, kissing the top of my head “I am right here.” He added

“Night Deny.” I whispered, reaching in, pecking his lips before snuggling close to him

“I got you Riley.” He whispered

Soon enough my eyes were drifting off, hoping tonight was nothing but a nightmare.
