I reached Andrew's apartment building and I saw Kevin and Brian going in. I quickly got out of the car and ran to catch up to them. By the time I reached them, Kevin was already banging on Andrew's door. Andrew opened the door and Kevin pushed him.
"You bastard!" Kevin yelled at Andrew.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Andrew snapped back.
"Kevin, stop," I said while walking into the apartment.
"What for? He deserves to be hurt," Kevin said pushing Andrew against the wall.
"Amanda, what's going on here?" Andrew asked me.
"I'll tell you what's going on. You're hurting her, and now I'm gonna hurt you," Kevin said holding him against the wall.
"WE are going to hurt you," corrected Brian. Kevin punched Andrew in the mouth. Andrew started to bleed.
"Kevin, stop, please," I pleaded as I tried pulling him away from Andrew. I couldn't though, Kevin was too strong for me.
"If you ever come near her again, I will seriously hurt you. You understand that?" Kevin said, still holding Andrew against the wall.
Andrew just stood there, he was scared out of his mind by now.
"You understand?!"
"Yes," Andrew stuttered while nodding. Kevin let him go. He turned around and headed towards the door with Brian following him.
"Amanda, let's go," Kevin said stopping and turning around to face me.
I just stood there.
"Amanda."
I turned to look at Andrew. He was just standing there looking at me with his mouth still bleeding. I walked towards the door. I turned to face Andrew one more time, then left with Brian and Kevin.
We walked outside.
"You're coming with us, Amanda. We'll come back in the morning to get your car," Kevin said. I didn't argue, I didn't want him getting upset with me. Kevin drove back to his apartment. I didn't know why he just didn't take me back to my dorm.
"You can stay with me tonight. I don't think you'll be safe at your dorm alone," Kevin said.
"Kevin, my roommate will be there too," I responded.
"I still want you to stay here."
I didn't say anything else. I knew once Kevin made up his mind about something, he stuck to it.
"I'll see ya tomorrow," Brian said as he walked towards his car.
"Later," Kevin said.
"Bye, Brian," I said.
Kevin and I walked up to his apartment.
"You can have the bedroom. I'll sleep on the couch," Kevin said as he opened the door and walked in. "I'll get you something to wear." He went back to his room and found a shirt for me to wear. "Is this ok?"
"Yeah, it's fine," I responded. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
I walked back to the bedroom and changed. I went to bed, but I couldn't sleep. I could only think about what happened that night, how it was all my fault.
