Chapter 9
Massie's entire body ached. Her knees felt like they were about to break and make her collapse to the floor. Her jaw quivering with pain and excitement. She was in the arms of Derrick Harrington. Besides the fact her jaw was killing her she couldn't help but cringe every time Derrick ran his fingers through her hair.
"Can you talk?" Derrick asked in a quiet, soothing voice.
Massie didn't move. She hadn't tried talking yet and was afraid moving her mouth would just cause her more pain. She opened her mouth a little let out a low whimper and shut it.
"It'll be okay," Derrick said in a whisper. "Cam, can you get me some ice?"
"Sure thing, man."
Derrick sat Massie down in the nearest chair and looked at her. Tears were dripping down her cheeks, and her face was flushed. Derrick wiped a tear as it fell from her eye down her cheek.
"Is it bleeding?"
Massie shook her head.
Derrick touched the part of her jaw where she was punched. "Does this hurt?"
Massie shook her head. Derrick put his hand down; he leaned in toward her face and gently laid a kiss on the place she was punched. "Did that hurt?" he whispered.
Massie half-smiled and shook her head.
Derrick smiled, "Good."
Derrick wiped the tears that still lay on her cheeks as Cam returned with the ice. He handed it to Derrick who put it to Massie's jaw.
"Dude, maybe we should just leave, before something else goes down. Josh has been flashing you dirty looks ever since you said that to Alicia." Cam said. Claire stood next to him.
"Yeah, I guess," Derrick trailed off."Hey we should just go back to my place and chill. Watch a movie or something."
"That sounds good. You up for that?" Cam asked looking at Claire.
"Sounds like fun." She smiled.
Cam grabbed Claire's hand. "We're going to go to the car; you know how long it takes to start that thing."
Derrick nodded and turned back to Massie as they left.
"Sounds good to you, right?"
"Yeah." Massie said in a whisper, it didn't hurt as much as before. The ice was working.
Massie looked around she spotted Josh Hotz, who was before giving Derrick dirty looks, got up and started to make his way toward them through the crowd.
"Let's go." Massie said grabbing Derrick's hand and walking to the door.
"Looks like someone's in a rush" Derrick laughed.
Massie didn't stop or look back until they were right in front of Derrick's car.
"Block, what's the matter?"
Massie looked back to Kemp's house and saw Josh through the window; he looked Massie right in the eyes and walked away.
"Block?"
"Oh, it was nothing. Let's go."
Derrick sighed and opened the door for her. Massie smiled and sat down.
Derrick sat down and looked at her.
"Why do you keep looking at me?"
"I feel bad."
Massie was beyond confused. "What are you talking about?"
"It's all my fault, I should of never gone out with Alicia, if I did none of this would have never happened and…ugh, just things would be different," Derrick was quiet for a while, then he mumbled. "I didn't want you to get hurt."
