I Need You by Duckie4rmabove

Chapter 7 - You're the One

"No use staying so late" Andy said to himself as people just started looking away from him. Andy gathered up his things and put the books back into right places. He began his journey home in the dark.

He saw a girl walking not that far ahead of them coming out of a store with a bag of groceries. Andy quickly recognizes that it was Mai. 'She beautiful even when she's walking' Andy stammered a little when a lady told him to kindly move.

"Maybe she needs some help" Andy conjured up the courage to decide to keep her company while she went home. Andy walked a little faster so he could catch up with her.

*yawn* "I'm so tired" Mai said as she turned the corner.

"Well, well isn't it little late for you to be walking all alone little lady?" A strange voice called out to Mai.

"Who's there?" Mai shot a look around her. Dark figures started too merged from the shadows.

"What do you want?" Mai demanded to know while looking around to see 2 gang members getting closer and closer to her.

"None of you're business lady" One of them took a long stick and tapped it with his palm.

"I'll definitely like to get a taste of you" The other said licking his lips.

"Get away from me! I warn you!" Mai almost dropped her groceries.

The man with the stick swung it at Mai, but she leaped out of the way letting her groceries touch the dirty floor.

"Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean you can under estimate me!" Mai yelled as she landed lightly on the ground and turned around and kick the man.

Andy heard this and followed the noises until he found Mai and the 2 men. Something stopped him from interrupted the fight and helping Mai. He stood there frozen to his place watching Mai fight.

"How dare you!" The man with angry charged her way with a fist ready to kill. Mai dodged it and knee him in the stomach. The man grasped his stomach and fell to the ground. The second man was finally aware of what just happen and he jumped on Mai's back trying to suffocate her.

"No such luck" Mai knew what he was up to and flipped him over. He hit the ground had and was knocked out unconscious. Mai signed as she began to pick up her things. When the first man she had knee in the stomach arose and rushed towards her like a wild beast.

Mai pick up the stick the man had at first and knocked him clear out with it. She dropped it when she knew both men were unconscious.

"You're the one" Andy finally said as he saw the whole thing.

Mai was startled when he heard Andy. "Andy.......What are you doing here?"

"You can fight!" Andy talking a little bit more clear now as he was still astonishing by what he just saw.

"Does that surprise you?" Mai stood up from where she was kneeling down to pick her things up.

'Not a single hair out of place' Andy noticed. "Here let me help you" Andy offered and started to pick up her groceries.

"Uh..Thanks" Mai didn't know what to say.
