Naomi's POV
I moved closer to Mena as he cupped my face with his hands, "We're late for class you know?" He said as he looked down at me and smiled.
"Oh really? Well if we're already late then what's the hurry?" I responded as our lips crashed together and I leaned on to my locker.
I felt him smile into the kiss, "Let's go I don't want you to get in trouble."
"Ugh, alright." I let our fingers interwind as we walked to class.
"I'll see you at lunch okay?"
"Promise?" I asked at the door.
Mena winked at me, "Promise, see you later babe."
I entered the classroom and made my way to my desk, next to Nasim, who I hadn't been able to talk to since the yesterday incident. I quickly wrote her a note on a piece of paper and slid it to her.
"We have to talk after class, URGENT" I wrote in red pen. I saw her expression change as she read. Quickly she wrote back.
"What about?"
"You know what." I wrote back and went back to paying attention in class.
I couldn't help but be mad at her, I know her intentions were probably good but she had to learn how to control her outbursts. This wasn't the first time Nasim blew up on people because her emotions got the best of her.
*Flashback*
I woke up to the faint sound of hospital machines. The bright lights around me forced me to open my eyes. I looked at my surroundings only to find Nasim sitting on the chair next to me.
"Nas" I said weakly as my throat was dry from what felt like hours of sleep. I saw her jump up at the sound of my voice.
"Nay, oh my god are you okay, I thought we'd lost you, I'm so so sorry." She said as she wiped her tears. I felt her grab my hand tightly, "What did he do to you Naomi? Is it what people think?"
I tried to sit up and was stopped by the striking pain in my back. I groaned as I tried to remember what had happened to me. The memories were difficult to make out, but they were definitely there, "I...I know what he did, but I can't..." I was held back as I felt myself choke up from my need to cry.
"Shhh, I'm here! I won't ever let anyone hurt you again okay? I promise. Get some rest okay?" She hugged me tightly.
I eventually drifted off into sleep. The next day I woke up to her sitting next to me again, but this time with a busted lip and a black eye. My eyes widened, "What happened to you?"
"It's fine, he's never hurting you again..." I heard Nasim respond.
"You can't do that Nas, you have to be careful, he could've killed you" I replied still in shock.
"He didn't okay, this? It heals, just try to get better Nay."
*Flashback Over*
My thoughts were interrupted by the school bell. I hurried and picked up my things from the desk and ran outside.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" I heard Nasim ask.
"Nas, you know what I want to talk to you about...you can't harass a person because they hurt someone you care about." I crossed my arms. "Mena and I worked it out, it was all a misunderstanding, but it almost didn't work out because you butt in and scared the bloody hell out of him. "
"Oh please, all I did was talk to him, it's not my fault he's weak and couldn't handle it." She responded and rolled her eyes.
"Nas, I'm serious, look I love you and you know I do, but you can't just do that because you can't control your emotions. You know what happened the last time that happened...I could've lost you and all because you had no self-control." I said to her. "Just be careful, I need you, but I also need you to let me figure things out myself."
Nasim sighed and looked down, "Ugh, fine, I'm sorry, but in my defense, he was being a little asshole."
I couldn't help but laugh, "He was, keyword being WAS. But it's all okay now, it's like, way better than okay actually." I smirked.
"Omg, did you guys you know what...?" Nasim asked as she made a funny face.
"Gosh, Nasim no! That's not happening for a while. We're not even official boyfriend and girlfriend yet when he asks if he asks and the relationship moves forward if it does move forward, then maybe. But I don't think I'm ready for...you know. Not yet at least." I said to Nasim.
"Yeah, I get it, it must be hard, but just make sure he knows that okay. Mena's a good guy, he'll for sure understand."
"Yeah, I hope so..." I sighed.
"Well, speak of the devil look who's here!" Nasim shouted.
"Babe, Nasim has something she wants to say to you, don't you Nas?" I said as I smiled obnoxiously at her.
Nasim rolled her eyes, "I'm sorry for harassing you and getting my boyfriend to in a way, kind of, but not really take you hostage."
I tossed my arms in the air and shouted: "YOU DID WHAT TO HIM? Jesus, Nasim, what am I going to do with you?"
"What can I say, I gotta protect my best friend."
"I get why you did it, I don't know why you couldn't be a little more light about it but I get it." Mena responded understandably.
"Oh sure, act all nice now, you better not pull this shit again mister or I swear Imma—" I cut her off.
"Well I'm hungry are any of you guys hungry? Let's go please, thank you." I grabbed Mena by the hand and dragged him to the lunch line. I guess we can say lunch was very quiet and awkward that day. We all finished up and cleaned threw away are things until I felt my phone vibrate.

"Don't bother trying Naomi, we all know these things don't work out for you..."
