A/N: Yes, I agree with a lot of you that it was way too fast and that I could've written it a lot better. But oh well. Well, as might be expected, there's gonna be a whole lot of cursing in this chapter. I'll try to refrain from using "le mot de f", however. Why am I using so much French lately? I don't know. Oh, and by the way, I just noticed that doesn't take the equals sign. Teehee. So in the first chapter when I was telling you the names there was no equal signs. Plus when I do my smilies like that it doesn't take. I guess I'll have to do them like :) from now on. Wow, that was a long author's note. 130 words.

Raven was still crying on his shoulder after half an hour. Gar was absolutely furious with Zack.

"What the hell is his problem?" he thought, "That little asshole, hurting her like this!"
"Gar?" Raven slowly brought her head from him and wiped the tears from her eyes, "Let's go home."
He nodded, giving her back one last comforting rub before pulling the car away and driving the long road to home. When they got there, the two quickly ran up the stairs to Raven's room before Gar's parents could ask what was wrong.

"Do you want to be alone?" Gar asked as Raven plopped down on the bed. She shook her head.

"Could you maybe… just stay with me until I fall asleep?"

"Of course," Gar said softly, sitting by the bed and holding her hand until she slowly fell into a slumber. It delighted him that they were so close that after what had just happened she could trust him so much. Once he was certain she was really asleep, he got up and ran back downstairs. He pulled on his coat and grabbed his keys, walking out to the car he had gotten for his 16th birthday. He climbed in and drove. He knew exactly where he was going but not quite exactly what he was going to do.

He pulled into the driveway and got out of the car. Confidently, he walked to the door and knocked. A middle-aged woman answered the door.

"What is it, young man?" she asked, smiling widely.
"Hello, Mrs. Daniels. Could I please see Zack?"

The woman looked down at her watch.

"My, it is rather late, dear. 12 o'clock already!"

"Oh please, Mrs. Daniels, it will only be a moment."

"Oh, okay, honey. He only just got in so he should be up. His room is the first on the left upstairs."

She showed him to the staircase and he ran up. He knocked loudly on the door and was greeted with a, "What do you WANT?"

He opened the door to see Zack, lying on his bed and throwing darts at a dartboard situated on his ceiling. He looked up.

"Who the hell are you?" he scowled at Gar.

"Gar Logan. Now, what is this I hear about you and my friend?"

Zack sat up on his bed.

"Depends. Who's your friend."
"My friend is Raven Roth," Gar said calmly, "And I'd like to know what entitled you to do what you did."

"Oh come on, buddy," Zack laughed, "She has purple hair. Who wants to date a girl with purple hair? I just did what I had to do to get her to listen, you know?"

"No, I don't know," Gar said, clenching his teeth and his fists in trying to control his temper, "I think she's beautiful just the way she is."

Zack snorted. "Beautiful my ass."

Gar grabbed the boy by his collar, pulling him away from his bed. "What was that?"

"Beautiful. My. Damn. Ass."

Gar couldn't stop himself any more. He let his fist launch itself at Zack's eye. He hit it spot on. Zack fell to the ground clutching his eye which Gar could see had already begun to swell. Giving him a swift kick in the stomach, Gar promptly left, returning Mrs. Daniel's smile good-bye and driving home without a single regret.
