Take Away Chapter 4

I drove the car, since Paige was too shaky to do so. "Is that bastard following you, cause if he is I swear I'll –"

"No, Alex, I think it was by coincidence he was there. I just don't like seeing him is all." She stared out the window long after that. I kept my eyes focused on the road, only slightly speeding my anger through mass amounts of cars. After a good while of silence, I finally broke it by asking her a question. "Where do you want to go, babe?"

She turned to me, her engorged red eyes beginning to lighten to a puffy pink. "I don't know? The Dot maybe?" She spoke calmly, and turned back to the window, "He won't go there unless Jay brings him there."

I snickered in sarcasm at the thought of Jay not doing something he wasn't suppose to. "Yea, we're defiantly going somewhere else." Paige looked over at me in confusion, and I realized I owed her an explanation. "Jay, doing something he's not suppose to is inevitable. He'll bring Dean there if he thinks that's where we are."

She nodded again, adding a frustrated sigh, and I drove on.

"That was fucked up man." Jay said, walking downtown with Dean, "Your one night stand was with the Queen Bee of Degrassi. Holy shit."

"Yea, can we uh, not talk about it anymore." Dean shrugged Jay off, walking ahead of him more.

"Alright, Alright, I'll take into consideration your fragile feelings. Where should we go now to raise Kane?"

"Haha, I don't care, how about you pick," Dean spat out with annoyance in his voice.

"The Dot? They have a candy rack that's out front, we could just-"

"Not interested in child's play." Dean snapped back.

"Dude, what's your problem?"

Dean turned around and grabbed Jay by the collar, "My problem is you, kid, now get off my back." He let Jay go, Jay falling in a heap on the ground. "Besides I got to get back to the frat."

"Kid?" Jay was focused on the word, "I'm not a fucking kid." He ran and grabbed Dean by his shirt, ripping it at the collar and he swung and punched Dean across the face. They started fighting, but Dean got the upper hand, pinning Jay down to the ground as he pounded his face into the pavement.

When he realized what he had done, he got up and looked around for any witnesses. Jay spat blood out of his mouth and into the grass beside him.

"You breathe a word of this to anyone, I'll come after you and finish what I start." Dean growled to Jay, as he got up and walked away.

We sat down in Marco's living room quietly for a long while. Marco had gotten up to make us some coffee, in hopes of killing Paige's nerves. He came back and handed us two steaming cups. "Does he know where you live Paige?" Marco asked, sipping down the hot java.

"I'm not sure what he knows. I know that a lot of my personally information was brought up in court, but so was his. It's just, he moved into the frat, so new location the courts don't know about, plus me living in the same ole house, it's not really good in my odds. I don't know if he even remembers where my house is." Paige sighed, staring into the black abysses of her coffee mug.

"This is fucked up. You have a fucking restraining order against his ass. Why does he try to break it?" I stood up, fist clenching together as I stared over to Marco and Paige.

"Alex, I told you, it was probably just coincidence that he was there. If I abuse the restraining order, then cops aren't going to take it serious when I actually need to use it."

"I know. Damnit, I just wish there was some place for you to go. Some place that you could be safe."

"Wait…" Marco got up and sifted through some books and papers. "How old are you, Alex?"

"I'm 18, but what's that have-"

"And how old are you Paige?"

"I'm only 17…"

"Damn." Marco whispered closing the book in front of him.

"What Marco? What was your ingenious plan?" Paige asked, leaning forward a bit on her elbows.

Authors note: WHAHAHA, cliffhanger. It's pretty obvious what Marco is asking, but yea. It leaves me a place to start for the next chapter. And yea, I know it said that I was going to leave it as 2 or 3 chapters, but that means I would have left it at the I-HOP and I don't think you all would like that very much.
