A Love Like No Other

Chapter 7 Friends & Dinner

"OMG! I can't believe we are meeting the one and only Amalie Anderson! We are huge fans of your work." The girl with platinum blonde hair said.

Something didn't stick with me so I put up my façade, "Thank you for liking my work."

"Serena, what links did you use to get close to Amalie?" The brunette said.

My left eye twitched indicating that something wasn't right in the words they'd just used, Serena was confused, "Links? What do you mean?"

"Oh come on, you know what we mean. After all not many people can get close to Amalie! So how'd you do it?" A blonde said.

I really had enough, that's the reason I don't let people get close to me because they get accused of one thing or the other, "Why don't you ask me in my face?" I said dropping my façade, "I know Serena since high school. Due to my schedule I couldn't meet her at her college till now."

"O-Oh really, since we're all friends, can we have your number?" The blonde asked, a bit nervous.

"Hmm, I don't consider you to be friends of Serena after the way you treated her just because she declined to go clubbing with you all."

The platinum blonde roughly gripped Serena's arm making her slightly shriek in pain, "You told them?"

I could see that Austin was about to get out of the car but I beat him to it, I roughly pushed the platinum blonde away from Serena to the point she lost her balance and landed on the ground, I balance Serena and had her be behind me, "What the F*ck did you do that for?" She yelled.

"Never mess with Serena or you'll regret it and I'm not kidding!" I glared at her, my voice held an edge, I don't remember getting this hyper after the incident in freshmen year of our when Lillian was played with.

"You, bitch you don't mess with me!" she screamed. At this we had an audience and people started recording the whole thing.

She tried to lung at me, but since I have too much experience of such people I easily dodged her made her regret big by using her own strategy against her by putting her arm behind her back and twisting it with pressure but not enough to dislocate, she shrieked due to the pain. I let her go but with force and she landed on her butt, I thought they had enough and was about to lead Serena back when another one lunged for me I didn't have time to react but someone with firm grip pulled me back and my back collided to a hard chest I didn't need to look up to know it was Austin, and he shielded me from the punch by stopping it catching it in his hand, and threw the brunette backwards.

"I will speak to the management of this college for this outrageous and destructive behavior, also if anyone of you tries even to load that video anywhere." He said in bone chilling voice which even made me shiver.

He then made his sister sit in the back seat and me in the front seat, and reversed out of that college, we stopped at the signal I turned around a bit and faced Serena, "Are they really the people you associated yourself with?"

"I-I don't know, at first they seemed really nice but then they started changing, and even if I wanted to let go of them it was too late..." At the end she bowed her head.

"At the very least you could've told your brother." I sighed.

"I just didn't want to bother him with my petty issues." She didn't raise her head in the whole conversation.

"Serena, haven't I apologized for everything in the past, you could've relied on me a bit more than go through this all and alone, what would've happened if they'd forced you to go with them? Do you know the consequences of them all?" Austin said but he was anything but calm, his grip on the steering wheel was so much that his knuckles turned white.
