Chapter 2: Hope arrives

Mai quicky doubled over and tried standing up. Maenwhile Joey was on his way over. "I wonder what could be wrong with her...is she in trouble? I hope nothing bad's happening." Joey pulled up to a house on 320 Marylane Parkway. "Nice house...why would be in trouble?" Then Joey heard a scream it came from inside the house.
"LET ME GO!" "SHUT UP! NOW!" "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?" "i WANT YOU TO TELL ME HOW YOU GOT ME THIS WAY!" He then took out a swithblade and put it gently against her throught. Once the blade touched her her neck started bleeding. Yes the blade was a millimeter away but it is that sharp.
Out side Joey tried Knocking the door down. He turned to look and saw where Chad had busted his way in. "Ah jeeze man! Now you have to an extra bill!" He sighed and made his way in. When he jumped over the kitchen countertop he landed on a pile a pillows that had be thrown from the struggle with Chad and Mai. What the Hell happened here?"
In the next room he heard Mai crying softly and Chad slapping her and telling her to shut-up. "WHATCHA CRYIN' FOR? IT'S ME, CHAD! YOUR OLD BUDDY AND PAL! DO YOU RECOGNIZE ME MAI?" "NO! GET OFF OF ME!" She screamed. Chad jumped up over her and pinned her down with his hands and legs. he threw the blade on the floor.
Joey ran in and saw what was happening. He saw the blade on the floor, and quietly picked it up. Mai saw joey and closed her eyes hoping this would be over in a matter of seconds. "Oh...so your quiet now. So this means you give up? You give in?" Joey winked at Mai and showed her the blade in his hand. Calmly Mai said," Uh...yeah I ...I give in." She said in her quiet yet naughty girl voice. "Oh so you do wanna get pregnant." Joey cocked an eyebrow and Mai motioned him to strike. Knowing if chad is gone she can live better. Joey headed for the kill and Got stopped. "You think I didn't know you were in here huh?

Quickly that had each other's harms in a lock. "What are you doing to her?" "None of your Damn buisiness! She's my Girl friend and missed out on your chance to have her." "Huh?" Chad took the blade and took a good stab at joey's arm. "AH! God!" "How do you like that you little runt?" "JOEY!" Mai screamed. "Mai....call...9..1..1.hoooh..." He was barely breathing and yet he was still alive Chad put the blade in his pocket of the jacket he was wearing and took it off. Slowly he stepped twoards Mai who was backed up in the corner. "Now...let's get down to buisiness. Shall we." "NO! LET ME GO!" He threw her on the bed and tried to choke her. Joey faintly grabbed the knife out of his pocket. Moving twoards Chad he stopped. He knew if he killed Chad Mai would never forgive him. But he had to, to save her life. "One..." he said quietly."Two...Three!" In an instant blow chad fell to the ground. Dead. Mai breathing heavily called 911. Joey slid down the wall holdinh his arm. "That guy is never gonna bother...you...again." he said panting. "Thanks...yes? Oh I need the police department and the ambualnce over here." * Operater* "What's the address?" "320 Marylane Parkway." "Okay , can you tell me the problem?" "Yeah uh my boyfriend made his way in through the window and he's been drinking." "Yes what else." "He tried to come in here and kill me...please send someone quick. My friend Joey and me are...loo...sing blood." Mai started to cough. "Fast..." "She finished her statment and dropped the phone panting heavily from the loss of blood.

Joey was almost asleep when she started speaking. "If...you ever need help...with anything...just-" "I'm so sorry for putting you through this Joey." "It's ok-" "I no i've never thought of you as a friend ...but now i'm thinking of you as a best friend." "Huh...thanks."
