I woke up with a jolt from my bed, I looked around my silent room, the lace curtains fluttering in the wind, it was a dream again, my fingers touched the dried tears along the length of my eyes.

After a quick breakfast, I was quick to run my way to my school, I looked at my sneakers as I walked down the stone pathway, I stopped when I saw another pair of leather shoes.

''Move out of the way Gabriel'' I whisper not looking up, I just knew it was him due to the shine on that expensive leather, who else could afford such expensive shoes?

''Oh, who are you to order me to move around little girl?'' he throws before grabbing my face with his thumb and index finger, making me look up at him, I winced when his fingers dug into my skin, it was so harsh.

''When you made out with my best friend, trying to piss me off, do you think I would meltdown for you?'' he snaps walking towards me with large steps, I had to tighten the straps of my bags and walk backwards, his intimidating figure scaring me.

''I-I didn't do that on purpose'' I stutter, I never knew why I always do that in his presence, curse you.

''Oh no you did'' he whisper poisonously walking closer towards me until my back hit the fence, his hand right beside my head, I could feel his warm breath on my face, it was mixed with a strange mix of cigarettes and mint.

''You did, you did it to make me jealous, and you think I would be? Over a girl like you? I could someone better than you, get it?'' his venom came out as his hand came behind my back and tugged my hair harshly, making my neck painfully crane to look at his face, tears blurred my vision as his piercing blues watched me.

''That's enough Ryan'' I heard another strong male voice, we both turned our heads to the boy who had a bag slung across one shoulder, a black wore backwards, James.

I saw rage pass through Gabriel's eyes before leaving me and storming to him, grabbing him by his collar, James didn't flinch or change his demeanour. 

''Don't you dare call me that Cullen!'' he cusses shaking James' dangerously, James simply flared his nostrils and nodded.

''Oh, now you are pretending to be her boyfriend? I see what is happening'' Gabriel chuckles darkly pushing James off him, making him stumble, his blues snapped towards mine, raking his eyes down my body darkly.

''There is nothing of that sort of Gabriel, stop being an asshole'' James snaps coming forward, taking my hand in his softly, pulling me with him.

''Are you my brother or her? Remember what we oathed as a little boy James! You will be by my side, not hers!'' he roars towering over me.

''I will never side with what you do her, she is not your whore Gabriel, she is no one to us, she is supposed to be our friend, not your playtoy, why do you hate her in the first place?'' James asks the obvious, Gabriel just turned his head away.

''Fine, let it be that way'' he cussed before walking away, giving me looks that can kill, my heart dropped.

I was walking alone on the empty lanes of the school premises, Vanessa had to go back home and I am alone, I liked it this way.

I felt a foot crunch against the grass making me turn my head backwards and look, I found no one, chills passed through my body as I had this feeling of someone following me.

I started walking again, closing my eyes, my breath pacing up, I felt someone behind, I felt many more, this time I was quick to turn and I saw four boys standing in front of me.

The middle one who looked like the leader had his hand on his waist, his jeans were ripped and his eyebrows notched, he looked like danger.

''Well Well if this isn't Gabriel's new playtoy'' he whispers much to my surprise, what does he mean by that?

''Sorry?'' I ask, shivering a bit, my fear for the male kind was overpowering my senses, the moment he grabbed my wrist, I broke, just a single touch from a man can break me, I hate a man's touch, except my dad, my brother and I learned to accept James' touch.

''Oh don't act innocent little girl, you know what, with you, we can make Gabriel fall on his knees, what we all wanted for years, we wanted him under us, we will show him where he actually belongs'' he spoke making me cringe, me? how can I make Gabriel fall?

''Well you are so wrong here sir, is that I mean nothing to him'' I say proudly, even though my whole existence was crumbling by this, I spoke with the little courage I had.

''Oh yeah? We will see that now little girl'' he whispers pulling me closer to him, his breath fanning my face, I squirmed in disgust. ''He will go back home this way, let's see what he does''

Tears fell from my eyes as he twisted my hand, pressing my back to his chest, while another boy came forward and ran grabbed my bag and threw it somewhere, his hand running down my hand softly, I thrashed in his hands but he just smirked evilly.

Memories came flashing back but I couldn't help, I dropped my head down, my chin touching my chest as tears streamed down my face, blood pumping through my body harsh as I felt my impending panic attack.

I heard the sound of footsteps approaching, I looked up with my tears eyes to the one person I never wanted to see, Gabriel, his dark hair was messed up falling on his face while a burning cigarette hung freely on his lips.

My hair was stuck to my sweaty and teary face as I pulled myself away from the boy, but his grip just tightened on me, a whimper left my lips at this.

Gabriel's blue eyes found mine for a quick second before he looked at the boy behind me, Gabriel's face was void of any emotions, a nonchalant expression on his face.

''What's up with the new drama Derick?'' Gabriel asks slyly, his jawline becoming prominent as he inhaled from the cigarette, breathing smoke outside as he tilted his head, his eyes raking down my figure.

''Oh well, isn't she your new playtoy, will you let us play with her for a while, I hope you don't mind'' the boy says shamelessly making my heart stop beating for a second, what does he mean by it.

I saw Gabriel jawline clench for a second before a smirk lined his face ''She? My playtoy, do you think of me so low Derick? Sad, she is no one to me'' he whisper making my heart crack, my throat went dry.

''She isn't?'' Derick pushes, pulling me closer to his body, his cologne invading my senses, Gabriel scoffed and shook his head in negative.

''What about now'' Derick whispers pressing his lips onto the curve of my neck, his lips softly kissing my skin, I felt the sudden urge to throw up as a cry left my lips.

I opened my eyes and saw Gabriel whose cigarette was now on his hand, his hand turning into fists as he watched in pure rage in his eyes, but his face was still void.

''Please help me'' I mouth at him, tugging my hands as Derick's lips puckered on my skin, my worst memories flashed in my mind, as my panic attack was on its brink. I know Gabriel is the worst person to ask for help but I had no other choice, where is James when I needed him?

Gabriel simply turned and walked a few paces, his hands waving in the air ''Do whatever, do I look as if I care? She means nothing to me, if you trying to pull me into a trap, do better Derick'' his words made my legs go weak and nearly fall.

''Oh if that's that, then no problem, if we can't make you fall, we will take her, all for myself'' what Derick said made me feel like dying, I tried to scream but no voice came out.

I felt his hand drop onto my waist and press it, while he tilted my head and bit my neck, I felt my head swirling. Everything around me became blur slowly as my panic attack overcame me.

Before I could recall anything I felt my body being pulled away from Derick and thrown forward, I held my head and looked back, at Gabriel whose strong hand was around Derick neck, chocking him, his face went pale as he gripped Gabriel's hand, trying hard to breath. 

''Never. Touch. Her. Without. Her. Permission.'' Gabriel's jaw tightened as he said those words, he looked gorgeous, his wet lips parted in anger as his jaw clenched and unclenched, his blue eyes are dark with fury.

''And I should never even see your shadow around her, she isn't my playtoy, but you will never touch her'' his grip tightened around Derick who was now thrashing in his arms while his boys watching in horror. 

But I couldn't hear anything after that as my head whirled, I stumbled into the world of darkness as my knees touched the ground and fell unconscious. 

 Before I could loose my senses, I felt a cold hand patting my cheeks and I felt myself levitating and I knew I was being lifted up.

***

My heavy eyelids fluttered open and I saw myself sitting in a cafe, I rubbed my eyes and saw him, his chin resting on his hand as he looked outside at the window.

''Oh you're awake'' he says leaning forward with a serious expression, I passed a small smile at him and nodded, he nodded back.

I was overwhelmed that he saved him back there, I quickly stand up making him look at me quizzically, I walked across the table and wrapped my hands around his neck and buried my face there and hugged him tight.

I felt his body freeze at this, but he didn't hug me back, but it's ok.

''What is this for?'' he mumbles into my hair.

''Thank you saving me back there, I am indebted to you, thank you once again'' I pull back and look into his face, his eyes moved in between both my eyes as he looked at me with an expression that I couldn't fathom. His lips were parted as he softly breathed onto my face.

A small smile touched my face as our noses nearly touched, before he blinked and looked away. I stopped breathing when he looked into my eyes again, his hand came up and placed upon the curve of my neck, his thumb rubbing the place where Derick's kissed, a small red on my dark skin.

I saw rage flash on his eyes before void filled again as his ran his blues over my skin, I shuddered.
