AUSTIN'S POV
I was walking home alone from school for the first time since, my dad couldn't pick me up and Dez had to stay after school. I was half way home when I heard someone yelling up ahead. I ran over to where I heard it coming from I hid behind a bush to see what was going on. It was three guys beating up a girl…. HUH! That's ally! I was about to go help her when I saw who was beating her up, Derek Weise.
FlashBACK
I was running down the hall away from Derek after just playing the greatest prank of the year. I quickly hid his clothes in my locker and then I saw Derek chasing me in nothing but my sisters' old pink dress. "I'm gonna kill you MOON!" I started running "nice dress Derek!" I yelled back. I was still running when THUNK! I ran into someone, I stopped and slowly turned around, Yikes! it was the principal. "Hi ." I tried to sound calm "Boys, into my office, now." She pointed to the door. We both walked in with our heads hanging low, knowing what was about to come…. An hour later…. "So I'll see you both on Friday for detention" Derek and I both nodded our heads "okay you may both leave now" We both walked out when Derek whispered something in my ear "I'll get you someday, Promise"
I was brought back to reality by Derek's voice "Remember Dawson, we get to beat you every day, or we hurt your precious little Austin!" Ally was being held up by her arms by 2 of Derek's friends. "I know" she said out of breath from getting punched in the gut so many times. "Good" Derek said then he kicked her to the ground one more time and left. Ally cradled into a ball and started crying. I got up and ran as fast as I could." Ally are you okay?" she looked up and shocked to see me she asked "Austin! How long have you been here?" "Not long. More importantly are you okay?" "Yeah I'm fine" she tried to run but I grabbed her arm. "No you're not." I looked at her arm and saw it was covered with bruises, her knuckles were bleeding and so was her lip. A tear escaped my eye seeing what I'd let happen her. "Why was Derek beating you up?" "A couple months ago he came up to me and asked if I had seen you. I asked why and he said it was none of my business. Knowing Derek I knew he was going to beat you up and I couldn't let him." Ally responded. "Why would you do that? I can handle Derek and I can't let him hurt you! I didn't realize I was yelling at her. "Why did you do that? Why! Why!" I was practically screaming at her "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU TO MUCH TO SEE YOU GET HURT!" Wait did she just say she loved me? "What?" I was too shocked to say anything else. She got up and ran as fast as she could. "Ally! Wait!"
