*Nate's P.O.V*

I opened the door, hoping it wasn't too late. Luckily it wasn't. David was only in his boxers and Ashley was in her bra and underwear. Ashley was giggling uncontrolably and David was reaching for her bra. He looked up at me when he saw that the door had opened.

"What the hell are you doing, get out!" David said, well more like yelled at me.

"Get off her!" I ran up to them and pushed David off her and he fell to the floor. "You ok Ash?"
David got up and ran onto my side of the bed and pushed me down.

"Get out and let me have my fun with her."

"I'm not gonna let you rape her David!" I stood up and we started fighting. At on point I glanced at Ashley and she looked terrified. David swung at me but i dodged it and swung my own arm and hit him square in the jaw. He collapsed to the floor, holding his mouth, yelling in pain.

"Get out of my house." I said to him. He got up and ran out of the room. I heard the front door slam and saw him running across the yard. I turned back to Ashley. She was sitting up in the bed... still half dressed. She looked terrified. I slowly walked up to her and grabbed her hands.

"You ok?"
She nodded dizzly and smiled. "Now I am..." she was still slurring her words. I felt bad for her... I looked up at her and she smiled. I was about to grab her clothes so she could get dressed but instead, she grabbed my face in her hands and kissed me. It surprised me but I kissed her back. She tried to pull me on top of her but I pulled away.

"Let's get you dressed." I grabbed her skirt and shirt and handed them to her. She put them on and I walked up to her.

"We need to get you home..." I said to her.

"Noo... I don't want to go home..." After she said that I saw her stumbling and she collapsed into my arms. I picked her up [A.N Think wedding style] and carried her downstairs. I saw Erin sitting at the bar with Jake and walked up to them. When she saw me her mouth dropped.

"What did you do to her!"

"I didn't do anything. David tried to rape her. He spiked her drink and she just passed out. I need to take her home. You wanna come?"

"Yeah. I'll come. Bye Jake." She gave him a quick kiss and I followed her to Ashley's house. Erin had a key and luckily, Ash's parents weren't home. Erin showed me where Ashley's room was and I walked her up there. She was still passed out but had wrapped her arms around my neck. I put her down in her bed and looked at her. I couldn't believe the mistake I had made... because of that mistake, I lost her. I kissed her forehead and turned around to see Erin standing in the door.

"You love her... don't you?"

"Me? No, I just... wanted to help her."

"Right. Well, we're gonna sleep so you can go."
I started to walk out of the room but Erin stopped me. I looked up at her.

"Nate... thanks... for helping with her. She's my best friend, but I'd hate to see her get hurt... or raped. I appreciate it."

I smiled. "No problem. See you Monday."

"Bye."

I left the house and I couldn't get Ashley out of my mind. I had to do something to let her know I care, seeing as that she probably won't remember anything in the morning... but what?
