Warning: this chapter gets a little long.. reveiw if you like it! please?

***START!!!***

i felt like i'd never wake up. it had passed 12 hours that i'd been asleep. but what woke me up was dreaming of james beating daniel up. and me chained back and forced to watch. no matter how much i screamed at him to stop hurting him. i couldn't be heard.

daniel i suppose heard me gasping for air in my dream. being choked by tears. which fell reguardless if i choked or not. daniel turned me over and hugged me close. "it's ok trisha! i'm right here i promise" i heard him whisper into my ear, which woke me up. i clung to him and cried into his shirt. he was already dressed for school. which luckily didn't start for another three hour.

i clung to him as tight as i could. when i finally stopped crying. "do you want to tell me why you was crying?" he whispered into my ear. i sighed and didn't let go of him. "i.. i had a dream james was beating you up.. and i was chained down and i couldn't get him to stop no matter how much i yelled and screamed.. my voice was a faint whisper.." i teared up just from thinking about it. daniel held me tighter. "it's ok.. i'm right here.. and that baboon isn't going to hurt you or me ever again!" even though it calmed me some it didn't stop me from wanting to cry as badly as i was dying to cry.

"come on.. we got school in two hours.." he said softly into my ear helping me up out of the bed. once i was standing he kissed me. reguardless of my morning breath. he still kissed me. i pulled back and whispered. "could i go brush my teeth before you kiss me again?" i smiled he nodded and i rushed to the bathroom. daniel had followed me with some clothing i could change into. i smiled to him and sat them on the closed toilet. and ushered him out of the bathroom so i could dress without him watching me.

once i had brushed my teeth and got dressed i stepped out of the bathroom and peeked down the stairs. "come on! i got your bag..." i heard daniel call. we had an hour till school. was he planning to take me and get breakfast? maybe. but i wasn't hungry.

i rushed down the stairs and almost slipped. but i caught myself on the railing. thank god my parents had this put up. we had taken it down for almost a year. but my parents said it wasn't safe after my sister had fallen down the steps and broke her leg. once i pulled myself back up i walked down the last few steps and walked with daniel to his car. no matter how much we argued that he wasn't going to drive.

i gave up and handed him his keys. getting a smug little smile of triomphant from him and i sighed and got into the passenger seat. he got in on the driver's side and started up the car and drove off. he took the hour long way to get to school. just so we'd be on time.

as i sat there i looked almost bored, i had actually given a yawn. we got to school 15 minutes before the bell was suppose to ring. i got out and walked to the front door of the school. daniel trailing behind me. "so.. do you have bio and spanish today?" he asked with a smile. i shook my head no. "today we all have to go to the auditorium remember?" i asked him. his eyes widen "oh yeah! i forgot.. wanna walk with me?" he asked with a smile.

i nodded my head and followed him into the school.

********************************

we walked to the auditorium. hand in hand. i had put my ipod head phones into my ears and we sat in the back. well.. close to the middle. alot of students showed up. alot just ignored the whole thing and went to sit in class. the princible came out and called attention. daniel had nudged me and took my ipod away from me. i gave him a pout but i listened to the princible anyways.

once he got attention. "it has come to my attention that some students at this school can't seem to get along very well... i have had some reports of kids getting bullied. but that isn't what i've called you call hear for today. next week is the school talent show. i know alot of you students have talents. and i would be very happy to those of you who sign up to be in next weeks talent show. weither it be poems. songs. or anything else.. please do join.. this will also count as credits to pass this year." that's where my interest perked.

i had always been really talented. in singing and so forth. but i decided to write a poem. maybe one that would catch my stupid exs attention. considering he was here sitting in the front row. "that will be all.. continue to your normal classes!" he finally said after a long boring speach about how it's good to have a talent and so forth.

i had gotten up and walked out where i heard james mutter to his friends "watch this..." i heard him whisper. he ran forward and pushed daniel down. "maybe you should watch where you're going... freak!" i growled. but i didn't go after him. this time i helped daniel up.

i heard daniel give a low growl "bastard... is he honestly pissed because i have you and he doesn't or is he doing this to toy with us?" he asked. i raised an eye brow and shrugged "i duno.. james is an ass.. he always is" i sighed. i wasn't defending my ex. far from it. i was agreeing with daniel. well... partly!

***********************************

once i helpped him up we left for biology which thankfully was on my list today. and thankfully the teacher put in a movie.

i had laid my head down and possibly fallen asleep. i felt like an hour took forever. i didn't go to sleep instead i just laid with my head on the desk. i sighed but then i felt daniel nudge my arm. "what's wrong?" i heard him whisper. i shook my head best i could.

*********

today passed by rather quickly. two guys had drove by daniel's car. not football players, thank god. they stared at me for some reason as i got into his car.

james came over though. he opened the door and pulled me out. "come on babe.. why be with a zero, when you can be with a hero!" i growled kicking him. and i pushed him back enough where i could get into the car. daniel started the car and locked the doors. he pulled away and drove. but not back to my house. amazingly, he drove to his house. it was a two story house. i was amazed.

i got out of the car, when he parked it, of course. his mother came out and gave daniel a hug. "i... i'm sorry.." i muttered. she turned to me and smiled. "i'm just glad you took care of him.. i was so worried! he's my only child..." she said with a greatful smile to me. she pulled me into a hug. i almost suffocated on the purfume she had on. but i behaved and minded to my mannors.

when she pulled back she took both mine and daniel's hands and pulled us into the house. the house wasn't even lit properly. only candles around. i looked a little scared. his mother finally let us stand in the living room as she rushed off into the other room. muttering something along the lines of. "oh god.. he's home.. this place has been so dark since his father left for the trucking company" i swear me and daniel glanced at each other five times before his mother came back into the room. and pushed us both down onto the couch and opened the curtains and blinds.

amazingly daniel lived an hour from the school. maybe it was because i lived closer that he staid with me for a while. either way i didn't know. i didn't care, i had him to myself until today. his mom finally quit running around and sat down in a chair.

i've never seen somebody sit with as much grace as she did. the fire place was lit. even though it wasn't cold out side. "mom.. is everything ok?" daniel asked after an hour or two of silence. "everything is fine.. the hospital called and said you had went to the clinic.. it almost gave me a heart attack! i thought something might be wrong with you!" she said, panic lining her voice. then she continued. "but they said you had a girl with you. one fitting your... friend's discription.. i figured if you had a friend with you.. you was ok.. but that didn't stop me worring about you." she said. i swear i don't think she actually paused through anything.

i glanced at daniel, i had actually kept my mouth shut. "mom.. she isn't a friend.. she's my girlfriend.. and yes i'm ok!" he said his mom nodded her head. i had my fist clenched up on my knees. my spine as straight as an arrow. and my arms straight also.

the room felt colder to me. i wasn't quite sure why it felt so cold to me. but it did. i had goose bumps crawling and surfacing on my flesh. and cold chills shooting up and down my spine. but daniel looked calm. relaxed. not cold at all. i don't think i breathed very much sitting there. my head was hung.

his mother finally spoke. and i felt like the room was an icebox. "i was told you was beaten up. i panicked. the first thoughts running through my mind were. 'is my little boy ok?' and 'oh god.. please let him be ok'" she said not looking at daniel. i could feel her eyes boring holes into me i swear "mom.. i swear! i'm old enough to take care of myself.. you know that." daniel said. i felt more guilty than i had in a very long time.

it may have been her tearing me into tiny peaces in her mind. or it could have just been from where james had beaten up daniel just because of me. either way i didn't know. it was probably both reasons. either way i felt the room grow smaller to me. "may i be excused?" i said finally after few minutes. i couldn't handle being in the room anymore. i felt like i was gonna fall into the floor and have a panic attack if i didn't get out.

then i chanced a glance and looked up to see his mother removed her eyes from me. she nodded "yeah.. you may lea..." before she could get the words out of her mouth daniel snapped at her. "don't you dare tell her to leave!" he stood up and reached his hand down to me. i gladly took it. then i felt the warmth fill my body. and i wasn't as crowded as i had felt before. "i'll take her home.. but i'm staying with her the rest of the week!" he snapped again.

and yet again. i felt guilty, like i was taking her son away from her. he put his hand on my back as if guiding me out of the house. "daniel joe wade dodson! you don't go any..." and yet again. before she could finish... before i heard her finish, he had shut the door and we walked to the car.

i had to have daniel's help getting in. i felt like the place was spinning faster than it should. my emotions getting the better of me? or was it i just felt trapped? again i didn't know. i really didn't wish to know either.

***************************************

the drive back to my house went fairly well. i had calmed down alot on the way back home. after half an hour of silence. "are you ok? you started looking pale back there" he said not looking at me. i knew he had to pay attention to the rode. i nodded my head, reguardless if he could see it or not. "y..yeah i'm fine" i lied. that made me sound like an awful liar. my voice got caught in my throat trying to talk.

he pulled up to my house and pulled into the driveway. he parked away from my parent's spots and helpped me into the house.

he walked me all the way to the stairs. and i suppose after my stupid stunt this morning. he wasn't about to let me walk up them. he brushed his arm under my legs carring me bridal style up the stairs and into my room. "put me down this instant! i can walk ya know!" i said fussing. he shrugged and dropped me onto my bed. i sighed. "why didn't you just drop me onto the floor!" i fussed.

i heard him chuckle and walk over to the window glancing out of it. "because.. the floor would have hurt that perfect ass of yours.. it's bad enough i got a bruse.. but i don't want you having one too!" he said with a smile. i'm amazed seeing the bruse in the shower yesterday didn't effect me as bad as it had later in the night.

i swung my legs over my bed. "my parents work late on tuesday nights. so i have the house to.. i mean we have the house to ourselfs until ten o-clock" i said softly to him. he turned to glance at me with a smirk. "what?" i asked raising an eye brow. he walked over and sat on the bed he laid back. "wanna try the pleasure pack? i'm sure we'll find one we like..." he laughed. i think i almost felt a dark cloud wash over me. i sighed. "is that all guys want? sex?" i sighed again after i said that. daniel looked at me and laughed a little louder.

"i don't want sex my love... i was just kidding.." he said chuckling. i shook my head and walked to the bathroom. he amazingly didn't follow me. i pushed the button that turned the water on and set it to the right tempature. i stripped my cloths off and opened the sliding glass door.

i sat down near the wall, letting the water wash over me. i heard a knock at the door. "what?" i hollered. daniel opened the door and walked in, i could see his form through the non-fogged up part of the glass door. "you ok?" he said looking at my nude form sitting on the floor. i nodded. i had shifted my form some and his eyes actually widened. "what?" i asked again.

he shook his head. "can i get in with you?" i heard him ask. "why not? you already touched me anyways!" i thought. but i didn't tell him that part. i nodded my head. i saw him strip off some. through the fogged up part of the glass i could see the purple bruse on his side. he opened the glass door and walked over and sat next to me.

his penis laid limp between his legs. that urge to touch him ran through my blood veins again. i shifted my body weight and hugged my knees close to my chest. just so he couldn't see how excited i had gotten.

i shook my head and looked at the water rising on the ground. my rag laying over the drain. i had purposely covered the drain. i wanted the water to rise up enough it'd be like a shallow pool. an inch deep. i sighed. "not enough to drown out my stupid ex!" i growled in my mind.

daniel stood up. and grabbed my shampoo and put it in his hair. sniffing it. "wow.. this smells really good." he said with a smile to me. he had his back to me. as far as i could tell. i sat there. i just wanted to wash my worries away instead of actually showering.

daniel glanced at me from the corner of his eye.. how do you know? you may ask. but trust me, i can feel when somebody is looking at me. "stand up and i'll wa..." but before i let him finish "no..." slipped past my lips in a faint whisper. he washed the shampoo from his hair and sat down next to me. "what's wrong?" he asked me. true worry lining his voice. i looked at him and took a deep breath in. "james wasn't the one to beat you up was he?" i asked. it came out before i had a chance to swallow it down my throat.

i saw him raise an eye brow to me. "don't dwell on that ok? it doesn't matter. i have you.. and he doesn't.. he'll just have to get over it!" daniel said pulling me into his arms. i took a deep breath in and laid there. i could feel his penis against my flesh. but it didn't matter. it was against my back a little.

daniel had laid my head against his chest.

fifteen minutes or so later he took a deep breath in looking at my fingers. "we should get out.. what if your parents come home and see us both naked in the shower.. cuddled up.. they may think we had sex or something." i actually smiled at that and sat up and turned to look at him. "at this point... i really don't care..." i giggled at myself. he pulled me close chris crossing my arms over my stomach.

he pulled me up and took me to my room. without a towel or anything around us. the house was empty besides pouncer who was probably let out and hasn't been back in. and angel who was laying down stairs asleep, waiting for my mom to return home. full bodys wet he tackled me to the bed and kept kissing my lips.

"mmm... you look delicious wet." he said. my body had dried off. as well as his. he laughed kissing my neck.

we laid under the covers for what felt like forever. i actually felt comfortable naked around him. we laid in my bed. my head laying on his shoulder. he kept telling me stories of his friends back at his old school. and other things. i swear i could have fell asleep listening to him. but i didn't. i actually laughed at a cupple stories he told me. his arm was wrapped around me. crossing just over my chest. my bed is a queen sized. my mom got it for me because of the frame of the bed.

i laid there in his arms, for what felt like, forever. it was dark in my room. besides the orange street light out front. then i heard my mom's car pull up. "we should probably get dressed" i muttered he nodded and sat up. i automaticly sat up when he did. i slid off the bed and bent down to grab the pj bottoms my dad had given to daniel. i tossed them to him and he slipped off the bed and put them on.

i grabbed some panties and put them on. and grabbed some pj bottoms and pulled them on i smiled to daniel and then grabbed one of my over sized shirts "wait!" i heard daniel say before i had it on. i put it down. "what?" i asked walking over. "put your arms up and close your eyes!" he said. i raised an eye brow, but done as told. nevertheless.

he slipped one of his shirts over my head and gave me a kiss. "better! i want you wearing this at night.. so you can always think of me..." i smiled to him. i crawled over the foot board and plopped down on my bed. his shirt felt a little cold. but it smelled of him. i smiled.

he didn't crawl onto the bed like i did. he got under the covers and pulled me close. i giggled and pulled my legs up and slipped under the covers. "i love you silly" he said i smiled "i love you too goofy!" we kissed and i cuddled close to him. my head on his chest. i had known him maybe just two weeks and already we were so close. as if we had been together longer.

"thank you god.. he's the best thing to happen to me in so long" i thought in my mind. a smile crossing my face. i listened to his heart beating. even though he had already went to sleep. i soon fell asleep. my smile, of course, faded. but i was still smiling in my mind.
