Wally POV
"We have to open the door!" Megan said panicking.
Each minute I was getting angrier. Who the fuck does this?!
"Conner we have to knock down this door" I said.
"Are you sure we can do this?" Conner asked.
"We're football players. Come on!" I yelled.
"On three"
"One..."
"Two..."
"Three!"
We ran to the door and it fell to the ground. I honestly thought that wasn't going to work. I grabbed Jordan threw him off of Artemis.
"Artemis!" Megan said running to the room.
Megan grabbed Artemis hugging her and checking if she was okay.
"Did he hurt you?" I asked.
"H-he s-slapped me a-a few times but-"
I looked to see a side of her face bright red. I lunged at him.
"Wally!"
Artemis POV
Wally was beating up Jordan.
"I don't want you near her! Ever again and if you don't want this happening I suggest you listen" he threatened lowly before dropping Jordan to the ground.
I examined him. Bloody nose and black eye. No broken bones I think. I looked at Wally. I slight bump on his lip.
"We're going to go get a teacher" Megan said.
She grabbed Conner's hand and they left. Wally slowly walked over to me.
"Are you okay?" he asked softly.
I nodded. "I-I'll be alright" I whispered.
"You're shaking" he said.
"And your lip is swollen because of me" I said.
Wally looked at me liked he hadn't even noticed his throbbing lip. "It's alright" he said. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around me.
"What happened?"
We turned to see the principal and a lot I students behind him including Megan and Conner.
"I rather not talk about it here" Artemis said softly.
"Everyone out! Ms. Crock please follow me" he said.
Soon everyone was cleared out. Before I left Wally grabbed me.
"Please be careful" he said.
Wally POV
I sat down on a chair in the main office. Everyone one had left except for Megan, Conner and I. The door finally opened and Mr. Milan walked out with Artemis and Jordan.
I growled.
"Calm down" Megan said sternly.
"See you back in a week Jordan" he said to Jordan.
I stood up.
"What?!" I yelled.
"Wally" Conner said.
"You almost fucking raped someone and he's suspended!? What the fuck?! That isn't right!" I yelled.
"Wallace language" Mr. Milan said sternly.
I fell back on the chair.
"Why isn't he going to jail?" Conner asked calmly.
"Because he didn't technically rape her-"
"Well he almost did! And he slapped her multiple times!" Megan yelled.
"Sorry. That is the most we can do" Mr. Milan said.
"What the hell is wrong with this school?!" Megan yelled.
"You all should get going expect for Jordan who will be driven home" Mr. Milan said.
"I'll take Artemis home guys" I said quietly.
Megan who had been hugging Artemis the whole time had finally let go.
"Call me as soon as you get home" Megan said before walking away with Conner.
The car drive was silent for a while before Artemis spoke.
"Aren't you going to say it?" she asked quietly.
"Say what?" I asked as I glanced at her.
"That you were right about Jordan" she said looking at me.
"I thought he was just a player and it's not right to say after what just happened" I said.
I turned the street.
"Wally. You do remember how to get on my house?" Artemis asked. I nodded. "Then where are we going?" she asked nervously.
"No don't worry. We're going to my place. Jordan knows where you live and I don't think that would be a good idea" I said.
"What about my parents?" she asked.
"You can call and explained what happened" I replied. She didn't answer so I have no idea what she thinking.
Artemis POV
I had almost gotten we raped.
Raped.
Raped.
I hated being popular.
I wanted everything to go back to normal. I wanted Jordan to be expelled and not know where I lived. But I don't have fair god parents or magic.
Everything that had happened, happened.
I sighed.
We arrived to Wally's house and I was tired. Physically and mentally.
"Here are my mom's old pajamas" he said as he handed them to me.
Wally's parents had agreed to let me stay here for the night.
"Thanks Wally" I said.
"You can sleep in my bed and I'll sleep on the floor" Wally said.
He turned away for me to change. I quickly did and climbed into Wally's bed.
"Listen Artemis...you know I really care about you right?" he asked.
I nodded.
"The guys said I was jealous that you went to dance with and maybe I was. I just want you to be safe. I don't know what I would do if you every got hurt. I just want you to be careful okay?" he said.
"I'll be careful" I said softly.
He smiled. "Goodnight" he said before going back to his place on the floor. The was a silence.
"Wally can you sleep with me?" I asked shyly.
There was another silence before I heard moving and soon Wally was right next to me. I moved closer to him. He was really warm.
Wally POV
I wrapped my arms around Artemis pulling her closer. I couldn't help but smile. Okay so maybe I did like her.
"Goodnight Artemis" I whispered.
"Goodnight Wally" she whispered back.
