Jane POV (I know. Shocking)
Mal was acting really strange during class, and according to the others, she was jumpy is all classes. Now we are just waiting for her and Carlos at our usual meet up area. It's weird. 'Los is usually right under Jay's arm. "Hey Jay. Where's Carlos?" I asked him. He shrugs his shoulder. "I have no clue. I've looked for him everywhere. After we finished up... the business in our room, he left the room to go to the cafeteria. I wanted to go with him, but he said he'd be okay and he'd be back soon. That was the last time I saw him. Did he show up to any class?" We all look at each other, quietly. He hadn't shown up to any of our shared classes, and apparently not to anyone else's. "DAMNIT! That means that Gil probably got to him!" Jay stands up, ready to storm out, when Carlos runs over with Mal in his arms.
"Guys, something happened. Harry and Gil cornered us. Mal's in shock. I didn't know what to do, so I ran her here as soon as I could." He says in a rush. Ben runs over to him. "What happened?" Carlos hands her off to him. Once she's out his hands, he drops to his knees on the ground. Jay instantly runs over to him.
"Carlos! Baby! What happened? Are you okay? What did that bastard do?" He doesn't answer at first, and then looks up. "I-I'm fine. Mal's the one that needs help. He tried to... to drag her to the bathroom. She kept struggling to get free, but he cut her cheek with that stupid hook. I tried to stop him but Gil grabbed me. I don't know what happened. My body just shut down. God Jay. I was so scared." He hugs Jay, tears running down his face. I gasp, covering my mouth. Oh my gosh. Harry tried to rape Mal.
"Do you know what happened to Mal after that, Carlos?" Ben looks over at him, curiously. He shook his head. "I heard a scream come from the bathroom. I think that finally got me out of the shock. I kicked Gil in the dick and ran into the bathroom." Jay holds him close to him, clenching his teeth together. "It's okay 'Los. When I get done with the both of them, neither of them will be able to walk correctly, much less be able to hurt you." Doug and I turn to look at each other. "We can't exactly let you do that. On the Isle, you probably were free to hurt whoever you please. But in Auradon, you can't hurt him the way that he probably deserves. Right, Ben?"
Everyone turns to look at Ben. He currently is holding Mal close to him as Mal cries into his shoulder. "Hmm? Don't ask me right now. I agree with Jay 100%. Beat his ass and send him back. No one touches my baby. Ever." We all look at him shocked. I've never seen Ben act so….. Isle like. Mal has brought a new side of him out this past year.
Mal pulls her head away from Ben. "I'm fine. He caught me by surprise. No need to go beasty on him, Benny-Boo." She smiles at him and pinches his cheek. I wonder how she can do that. Go from completely depressed to acting normal. "Don't listen to her. She does this all the time. Pretend to be fine, but on the inside she's freaking out." Evie tells us. Mal glares at her.
"I'm fine, Evelyn." Mal says.
"Don't use my full name. You know I'm right." Evie retorts.
Suddenly, it feels like there are less people with us. I look over at where Jay and Carlos used to be. "Umm guys. Where did Jay and Carlos go?" We all look around and notice that the door leading to the dorms is swinging.
"I think Jay is out for blood." Mal says, running in the direction that they disappeared to. We all follow her. When we get inside, the first thing I see is Jay with Gil up against the wall. "I warned you. I told you to not touch him. So what do you do? You try to hurt him. I should break your neck. I wonder what your head would look like on a stick." Jay face is bright red and if this was a cartoon, he would have steam coming out of his ears. Carlos is behind him, grabbing at his arm.
"Jay. C'mon it's not worth it. Let him go. You do not want to go back to the Isle."
Jay turns his head and sighs. He lets him go; Gil sliding to the ground. He takes a couple deep breaths. "Get out of my face. Before I change my mind." Gil gets up and runs away. Before he gets too far, he turns to Carlos. "You'll be mine. Jay won't always be here to protect you." Then he turns to Mal. "Harry and Uma have big plans for you." He takes off running.
