Chapter Four
While Nick and I were talking a guy walked by staring at us. He was maybe 6 feet tall with long brown hair. I could see his clear blue eyes from the distance.
"Nick, that guy is freaking me out." The guy made a half smile and began to walk over.
"Hey, cutie. What's your name? Wanna go for a walk?" Nick's face showed obvious anger. I put my hand on his knee to calm him.
"Ummm, no thanks. I'm kind of busy."
"Oh, come one. It won't take long."
"Didn't you hear her? She said no." The man understood Nick's attempt to be subtle and left.
"Your loss babe," with that last comment he left.
"Thanks, Nick." I smiled slightly and we began to talk again.

"Kev, I'll meet you at the restaurant. I have to make a few phone calls and I'll be on my way."
"Ok, Bri. We're leaving now. See you soon."
~<3~<3~<3~
"Ok, Nikki. We're leaving for dinner now. See you at 7:30." I hugged Nick goodbye. I watched as Nick, Kevin, Howie, and AJ got into the van. I must have missed Brian. 'Well, I had better start dinner.' My family will be back in almost an hour from fishing.
I waved as the van pulled away. Nick smiled from a back window. When I could no longer see them I began to make dinner. It was all going well until I felt a pair of arms reach around my waist.
"What ya cooking, Doll?" I recognized the voice and tried to pull away, but he had a strong hold on me.
"Let me go!" I screamed and bit his arm. He yelled out in pain, but grabbed me as I ran away. We fell to the ground.
"You couldn't just let this be easy, could you?" As he said this he slapped me hard. I cried out, then he put a bandana around my mouth as a gag while he pinned my hands with his knees. He carried me over to the tent and laid me down inside. I began to cry.
"Don't cry!" He backhanded me hard across the cheek. I tried to scream out, but the gag stopped any sound.
"You might as well make this easier on yourself and stop struggling." He tore open my shirt. I close my eyes just waiting for the worst when I felt him pulled off of me.
I opened my eyes to see Brian pulling the man off of me. With one punch from Brian the man was knocked out cold. His ring leaving a large cut across the man's cheek.
"Oh God. Nikki, are you ok?" I nodded. My eyes were filled with tears. He removed my gag. He took off his shirt and put it on me.
"Thank you, Brian. I owe you," I spoke just above a whisper.
“Any of the guys would have done it."
"But you're the one that did. You're my angel. Please don't tell anyone about this. I don't want anyone to know."
"I won't tell anyone." Brian called the police. They were there shortly and asked Brian and I some questions.
"Are you sure you're ok?"
"I'm fine. Now, go. The guys are waiting for you." He kissed me on the forehead and left.
