" D..ak..sh...please" I cried n stammered seeing my lossing condition

" Sshhhhh, I've been watching you, flirting with that girl's daddy."

"No"
"SHUT UP" he shouts angrily
" I don't like it haan u know na I hate if someone disturb me in my work. You belong to me, only me, u r only mine"

" I'm sorry Daksh... Please... Please stop this..... I beg"

He backs away, then his bare chest touching against my back in minute seconds I didn't have time to even walk a step what I do to get out of this mess I'm now too afraid.

" I have tried to stay away, but, u need me, baby"

" You..... You..... don't have to.......do this.......please........ please....I'm begging you...haath johti ho Mai please mujhe chod do daksh..... Agar Papa ko pata pada he won't leave you...... please leave......."😭

My eyes close as tears slid down my face, and... And he is gone again. I hold my breath for what's going to happen next not wanting Gunjan to come down and see. Then I hear the sound of something breaking.

I turn to see Shivaay and Daksh going at it. I sink to the floor my arms covering me as I cry. I let my eyes close Once more not wanting to watch what was going on.

I could hear them breathing, hear objects breaking. And smell their blood.

I hear a loud bang , then feel arms wrap around me.

Oh jaana phrase starts playing in bg.

"NO" I scream out

" It's okay Annie it's me."

"No,.... no, no.... please....... please don't come near me....... please."

"Annie, it's me Shivaay, see open ur eyes please... Please open it hmmmm please for once"

My eyes open looking at him through tear filled eyes . I didn't think twice, just wrap myself around him. He doesn't say a word just pull me closer to him, wrapping me securely in his arms.

" I'm sorry" I whisper

" It's not ur fault, where's Gunjan."

" Up in her room."

He nods breaking the hug

" Was that Daksh" he ask cupping my face, and I think I hear him angry somewhat....

I nod, then cover my face

" Oh God. "

"You're ok; he's gone now."

I nod but I can't help the tears that flow.

"Hey" Shivaay says, removing my hands  " You're ok."

I nod again, my arms go around my bare chest as I look away. Pulling his shirt off he hands it to me , I look at him .

" You need it more than me," he tells me

I pull it on then lift up out of his lap.. which I was also unknown to when I reached there. I then composing myself start up to check on Gunjan.

" Are u alright?" He ask following behind me

" I'm alright."

" Are u sure."

I stops I get to Gunjan's door

" You saved my life, thank you," I told him

"You want me to stay" I look back at him " Just until you fall asleep." He completes looking down

" No, I'm going to lock up "

Gunjan was sitting on her bed.

" Hey sweetie" I tried to smile in front of this little angel

" The bad man gone," she instantly questioned

I look towards the heavens trying to control my tears which were again on the verge of falling down.

" Yes he is gone" Shivaay said from behind

" Daddy" she jumps up running into his arms

I walk with them back downstairs

" You sure you don't need to go to doctor or anything," Shivaay ask standing at the door

I turn my face covering it as I try hard not to cry out.

" I'm fine". "I'm going to bed." He nods

" You have my number if you need me."

I nod

" See you on Monday," I tell him

He looked like he wanted to say something else but changed his mind.
As they leave I shut and lock the door behind me falling to the floor I let the flood gate of my eyes open.

Sunday I spent trying to ignore my father's questions by saying I had to complete my project n assignment as I was busy the day back.

Monday, as I get to school Gauri, stops me at the front door.

" Damn " she said

"What" I have to ask trying to sound normal

" Did u n Shivaay get into a fight."

" Why"

" You both look like hell "

" I run into Daksh the other night."

" What happen"

" He hit me" I turn away trying to avoid further conversation.

"And??"

Tears come to my eyes Rolling down my cheeks just thinking about it whole picture of that night flashed in front of me.

" Oh Annie" she wraps her arms around me " I swear if I see him again he is as good as dead."

" The sad thing was I was babysitting."

" Oh, that poor little girl."

" She didn't see anything; her dad saved my life. That was the good part of her being with me. If he hadn't got there when he did, I don't even want to think of what would Have happened."

"So what now, YOU OWE HIM"

"I guess, I do"

We walk in together; my eyes go to Shivaay. He is over by his locker with his best friends . Tia stands beside Him. His eyes find mine, shit; I didn't realize that he had a black eye on Saturday.

Did I feel like I owed him in a way , yes, I did and I thought about that the whole day how was I'm  going to pay him back?? At lunch, I sat on my table with Gauri playing with my food in my deep thoughts.

"You ok ," she asks
" Yeah just thinking."

" We should go out this weekend"  she tells me.
I smile

" It's just Monday"

" I know, but I like to plan ahead."

" I'll think about it."

I get up to take my things to the garbage.

"You're not eating," Gauri asked being tensed

" I'm done"

" You hardly touched your food"

I shrugged my shoulders then start towards where Shivaay was sitting. I bump him a little, and he looks back as I drop a piece of paper that read meet me in B-block. I don't see if he gets it or not I just start out after I have thrown my stuff away.

B-BLOCK is a section of the school that burnt down in a fire that they never got around to fix it up n so no one comes here.

I wait beside the window looking out at the sky shining bright with sun .

"You wanted to talk," Shivaay ask coming up behind me

" I just wanted to thank you."

" You already have."

I turn facing him.

" I feel like I owe u something."

He shakes his head

"Like what"

I look up at him bitting my bottom lip

" You saved my life Shiv". I shake my head " you don't know Daksh like I do, if u hadn't shown up when u did even I don't know what would it would have turned into. But one thing was for sure it would have been more than a black eye."

" It was nothing" he says
" By the way what are u offering Anni. " He asked being sincere to know

I let the dress I wear fall into a puddle around my feet then step out. I look at the back of his head which would have turned when I was opening my dress I felt him turning. After this I take long deep breath.

" This"

He slightly turns his eyes traveling from my head down

" Anni I ........."

" I want to pay you back for saving me ," I cut him " I'm not rich, so I have no money to give you."

I step towards him , his eyes still traveling my body up and down.

" I can't take what u r offering Annika " he said in one go turning back to other side.

" I know I'm not as attractive as Tia " he instantly turn his head, I look away " But...."

It's not that anni, " he tells me " You are most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

I look over at him once more

"And any guy would be lucky to have you."he finished
I look away again

"Just not you hmmmm". I start grabbing my dress and pull it on " I'm sorry"

"Anni...." He calls to me
" We should go," I told him

I start back down the hall feeling as he follows behind.

"Anni wait.." listen please once.." he calls out
I stop not looking back at him

" Can we just pretend that nothing happened??" I ask trying not to cry

" If that's what you want."
I turn to him

" I just embarrassed myself, who was I to think someone like you would even want someone like me." I said in cracking voice

" Shit" I heard him cuss as I start away once more "Annniiiii" he calls or almost yell again

And like all other times I didn't let him finish
" let's just forget about it please."

"I'll see u tonight" he said

" Yeah"

Neither of us said another word; we part our ways as we get to the end if the hall. The rest of the day I tried hard to forget about what had happened between us but I couldn't forget.
