Audrey's p.o.v:
"Oh you son of a b***h!" I chocked on my marshmallow as Bianca shouted and slapped Brandon's head. Hard.
" what the fu-" Brandon started but was cut off by Bianca.
" Oh don't you f*****g dare 'what the f**k' me" Bianca said gritting the teeth. Man, she was livid.
"What happened for Christ sakes !?" Brandon asked agitated while rubbing his temples in pain. Hangover.
"Wha- what... What happened you ask? I'll tell you what f*****g happened! You took Audrey to an underground f*****g fight and to top it off you left her alone to get drunk and not only that, you didn't even bother to f*****g inform me about going out !" B seethed out, an expression of realization crossed his face and he hung his head low.
"I am sorry Bianca it just kinda happens in the spur of the moment I swear it was never my intention to leave Audrey alone and if I would've told you about the fight you would've said no to me for taking Audrey so I didn't tell you.... I am really sorry" Danny said truly apologetic while still rubbing his temples.
Come on B forgive him he looks truly sorry.
"Oh damn right I would've said no and you are a grown-up guy Brandon you yourself should've had enough common sense to not take Audrey to a place like that, if it wasn't for Damien Audrey would've been in so much trouble there anything could've happened , she could've been r***d or lost , you know her , she is naive Damien" B said her tone a little lower this time.
I am not that naive......
"I am sorry Audrey I really am" Brandon said directing his apology towards me this time. I just kept my face half covered with the mug sipping my hot chocolate which had marshmallows in it as I saw Bianca's wide eyes and shaking head indicating me to not forgive Brandon which I was gonna.
"Really... I messed up that bad. Even you aren't forgiving me this time" Brandon said in a low voice.
No response. Only hot chocolate.
"Oh no Brandon sorry isn't gonna cut it this time," Bianca said with an evil tinge in her tone.

Monday.AGAIN.
Honestly, I've heard about history repeating itself and all but this Monday thing has got to stop! Like seriously if Monday had a face I would punch it! Or better yet it had Braxton's face, then I would punch it because Braxton's face is just as distasteful as Monday..... Oh god, I shouldn't be saying that, it's rude should support him and give him confidence! Sorry, Braxton. It's not his fault he got a face like that though he is a big butt head even his head being big isn't his fault... Maybe one of his parents has a big head , it has to be genetic after-
"AUDREY!" Amy's screeching lay loud voice brought me out of my trance of strange thoughts and my cheeks reddened in embarrassment as I realized that I zoned out yet again. God that's been happening a lot lately.....
"It's been freaking whole two minutes of me calling out your name standing just inches away from you but all you've been doing is staring out into space and deep in your thoughts, I am telling you, take medication for this zoning out thing, it's creepy" Amy said and I just shrugged .
"Amy you're my best friend, deal with it" I said flipping my hair and playfully punched her shoulder.
"True that" she said and the college bell rang, making students disperse into their respective classes.
"I gotta go, Rey , Mr. Joffrey does not like it when students are late in his class. He has a way of taking revenge by giving A-minus to a student deserving A" Amy said rolling her eyes and I giggled.
"Bye Amy" I waved at her as she made her way to her class and she waved back.
I headed towards the college ground for baseball practice, early in the morning might I add. I don't even like sports but B said that I had to participate in any one sport at least because it would look good on my college degree when I apply for Uni. So I chose baseball. Basketball wasn't a choice because I am short, soccer nope because I can't kick a ball good enough, rugby was a total no-no because its too violent and the last thing I wanted was to be trampled by sweaty heavy guys. Even the thought of it makes me shudder. So that left me with baseball, not that I am interested in that but it was kind of the safest choice I had.
"Aaahhh!!...." I screamed as the guy threw the ball with full force towards me, I threw the bat and ducked down.
"Audrey! What is wrong with you! It's just a ball! Hit it with that bat!" The coach shouted and I cringed.
Oh gawd .
"Okay go" the coach shouted when we took our positions.
I just closed my eyes, held the bat tight and started swinging it. My eyes still shut tight.
Eerie silence. Did I hit it ?.
I opened one of my eyes to peak and then opened the other when I saw that they were all looking at me like I had suddenly grown a goblin head.
"Are you okay Audrey?" The one who was throwing the ball asked and I looked at him dumbfounded.
"Yea why? Did I get the ball?" I asked excited at the thought that I got it.
"No, you dumb child! He didn't even throw the ball! You just started swinging like crazy !" The coach shouted and I cringed again.
I was feeling the need to cry but I didn't wanna. Not in front of everyone at least.
"What am I gonna do with you" I heard the coach grumble and I bit my lip nervously trying hard not to cry.
I know, I am a cry baby but I can't help it. I really can't. It helps me get it together.
I have the bat to the other girl and took a time out heading off to the bleacher's benches.
Then I cried.
Damien roamed around in the college campus after being kicked out of the class. Why? you ask for being too smart.
He wanted the kid who was solving the equation on the board to hurry up and not waste his time in a stupid easy as f**k equation but the kid took too much time. Damien might have verbally harassed him in front of the class.
He suddenly heard the all too familiar sniffles when he passed the bleachers and he looked up from his phone to see the tear stricken face of no other than Audrey Desmond. The girl who pulled the strings of his heart and she was doing it again with her red teary face.
No Damien. Its none of your business. Get on with your business and leave her alone. She is grown enough to deal with her problems. You shouldn't even care, for all you know that girl is crying for a reason she shouldn't even be crying for. Damien tried to convince himself. Keyword tried.
Who was he kidding, the girl was a walking damsel in distress and somehow he always ended up taking away her distress.
It annoyed him but he couldn't help but care. He really just couldn't help it.
Damien walked to the bleachers and sat down beside her. The peaches smell wafting through his nose and he just couldn't help but inhale more of it greedily. Guess his new favorite fruit is peaches
"What happened Audrey?" He asked in a gruff and raspy voice yet soft.
She jumped a little at his voice, unaware of his presence there but when she saw him she started crying a little more putting her forehead on his shoulder.
Damien took a sharp intake of breath at that action of hers. She really was naivè enough to get this comfortable with him that she sought some sort of consolation from him.
Damien was having an inner battle of what to do between his mind and heart. His heart won the battle within seconds.
He wrapped his arms around her and rubbed her back trying to comfort her.
After a minute she calmed down and looked up at him.
"Now will you tell me what happened? " he asked again.
"I..*hiccup*...i....*hiccup*....wa..*hicup*" she tried speaking but all that came out was mostly hiccups.
Damien offered her the can of his Redbull since he didn't have any water to offer.
She gulped it and scrunched up her face as if it stung her. She doesn't even like energy drinks, where does she come from?
"That's strong" she murmured handing back the can.
"It really isn't but okay if you say so, now tell me what's the matter " Damien said.
"I went for baseball practice since some sort of sports participation looks good on the college degree but I couldn't even swing the bat properly and the coach insulted me..." she said her lip wobbling at the end.
See a dumb reason to cry.
"Audrey it's okay, it happens, coaches shout and insult their team all the time to make them perform better" Damien said in a soft voice still rubbing her back.
"But he called me dumb in front of everyone " she said.
Damien was mad at the coach for doing so but he also knew that there was no reason for him to be mad.
"Its okay Audrey I am pretty sure no one paid mind to it. How about I teach you some basics of baseball after college?" Damien said.
And just like that he found himself offering Audrey Desmond his help yet again and the worst part was ... he was really eager for her to say yes.
A beautiful smile made its way on Audrey's face and her pink cheeks glistened. Damien was a puddle.
