( Naomi'll be there! >8D )

Drew looked behind himself, gaping. "Okay, um..." He pointed in the direction George had gone, quiet. Who am I supposed to help? ...Um, I'll calm this guy down first, and then...then I guess I'm gonna have to go to the girl's bathroom. Great.

"Okay, I won't touch you." Drew sighed. "But...what happened?"

~

Naomi blinked at George, confused. "Why are you crying?" she asked, coming over and peering over George's shoulder. "Did something happen?" Psh. 'Course something happened. Why else would she be crying? 

"..My firend....He..He got hurt, and..He's not tellign me what happened, and I've been his friend for YEARS!"  She sobbed, unable to control herself.

____

"Nothing!"  He growled louder than usual.  "None of your d-damn buisnes!" He said, taking a step away form him and placing ah nad on the wall.

Naomi sighed, and hugged George. She was just the kind of person who supported others with hugs. "I'm sure it's because he's afraid he'll scare you or something...Maybe he doesn't want you to get worried?"

~

Drew flinched, but shouted back, "Well, George just ran off, and she asked me to help her help you, and whether you like it or not, somehow, it's my business!" He stopped, placing a hand on his forehead and breathing hard. "...Just, please, let me help." he said quietly.

He didn't say anything for a minute, but said: "There's nothing y-you can do.....Thnaks, but no thanks...."  He said, his voice shaky.  He actually wanted help, but didn't know how to say what hapened.  He wasn't oging to tell anyone either.

_____

George leaned into the hug and continued crying.  "..He's....He's just never said anythign liek that before to me, it's just....."  She continued crying for about two minutes, than said,.  "...THnak you, I'm sorry....Names George...."

Drew sighed, pulling on his hair lightly. "Okay, how about a hug, then?" he asked. A hug was his sister's solution to almost everything, so why couldn't he try it?

~

Odd name for a girl. Naomi thought, blinking. "My name's Naomi Ambrose," she said, setting her chin on top of George's head. "Nice to meet ya, George." She giggled slightly, then started speaking seriously again: "What did he say, anyway...?"

George chuckled.  "..Heh..It's short for Gorgia."  She sighed.  "..Okay.  A few years back, his mother died, and his father went to Rehab.  He..Well...I guess ther'es no hiding it.  He's gay.  At his old school he dated a boy named Dante, who sometimes beat him up.  One night he broke his arm, and left him in an alley.  Now he's at this school, and he hirt Alexis again.  I knwo it, but Alexis won't talk....And he said I didn't help him...."  She finnaly said.

____

He lfinched again when his hair was grabbed, and ignroed what he said: "L-let go..."

"Well, your still here?"  Alexis jumped, a sharp intake of breath, and he whirred around, shaking visibly, and took a steo back unintentionally ending up behind drew.  "No hello?  Whose your friend?"  He aksed takign a step closed, but Alexis took two back, and made a sdmal whimpering sound, shakign so dably he tohught his knees would give out.

( No, he held his own hair. o3o It's something he does when he's stressed. )

"Oh," Naomi placed a hand on her cheek. "His boyfriend broke his arm, huh...?" She blinked at the ceiling. "So he expected to save him when his boyfriend showed up again? Why's he here, anyway? Is he, like, stalking your friend?"

( ...I'm confused as to what happened. e.e Is Dante actually there, or is Alexis hallucinating?
Sorry for not replying. e.o )

(No, he really just popped up and freaked him out. ^^  Sorry abotu the hair thing. XD)

"Yeah...I guess....Dante was actually a nice guy, but...I..I don't rmemeber what the fight was over.  I tihkn it was soemthign about Alexis not wanting to sleep with him, but I don't really remember, but it's terrible, and I couldn't help him.  And..I don't tihkn he trusts me, anymore.'  She said.

( S'okay. xD I should've been clearer about whose hair he was grabbing. Lol. )

"Well, you've been his friend for years, haven't you?" Naomi patted George's hair. "I don't think trust can be broken over one's own problems...or, at least, a situation like that." She shifted slightly, looking over at the door. Was someone out there?

~

Drew jumped. He wasn't sure what to say, so he just said, "You should leave." in a rather threatening voice, as if he could actually do something. It was the stupidest thing he could ever say, but it wasn't said intentionally.

George nodded, rubbing her eyes: "..Okay.  Thank you, Naomi,"  She smiled.  "Y'know, your really cute,"  She said iwth a chuckle.  "And you knew the irghjt things to say."

_____

Dante msirked.  "Relax, he's my boyfriend, " He said, puttign empasis on the last word.  "Yep.  He's gay, and he's also a little chicken, so I'm just here to help.  There was a girl named 'Georgia,' I beleivem, but he probably ditched him like steak to the lions, so he let me help him, isn't that right, Ally?"  He asked, wlakingj towards him, pushing Drew out of the way easily with one hand, and placing naother on Alexis' cheek, so flinched back again, closing his eyes.  "What's wrong..?"  "..N...N-othing, Dant-te..."  He stuttered.  "Okay, then.  So we should go back to our dorm, and get better situated, hmmm?" 

"..Uh...I-i'd rather stay with Drew, Dante...."  He said again, voice shaky.  "Too bad.  He probably doesn'tl iek you because your gay.  And you'r better off iwth someone who'll protect you, right?"  He asked, putting his face closer to Alexis', who took a step back, but backed into the wall.

( x3 I can make one for you, if you'd like. )

Naomi blushed, but only lightly. "Thanks. You're cute, too." She pushed her own black hair out of her face. "I get the 'right things to say' thing from my brother. He trained me well," She chuckled.

~

Drew bit his lip, drawing in a sharp breath when he remembered that he had gotten a lip piercing a while ago. Even though the ring wasn't in his lip, it hurt really bad. "Th-that's not true!" he stammered, turning around. "Just because he's gay, doesn't mean I don't like him! And, at that, I'm bisexual, so I could really care less if he's gay or not!"

(Lol, how much?  I'll totaly buy! ^^)

'Oh, is your brother Drew?"  She asked excitedly.

___

He msirked.  "..Wow, I'd take your number he said, smirking to him, then turned back to Alexis.  "Back to our dorm.  We're not finsihed."  He growled, grabbign his arm and squeesing.  "..N..N-no, I don't want to...."  Said, tryign not to flinch from his arm beinmg grabbed it hurt.  He was scared, and he didn't want it to happen again, so hsi best bet was to keep his distance. 

"We're. Going.  Now."  He said pulling him.  He was strong.  Alexis thrashed a bit, but he didn't evne shake him.  The guy was way to strong for him.

( No charge. o3o I'm kind of in the mood to do a siggy or something, soo. x3 )

"Uh, yeah," Naomi blinked. "How'd you know?" she asked.

~

"Hey," Drew grabbed Dante's arm, pulling on it. He was weak, but for some reason, he was feeling pretty confident in himself. "You can't make someone do something against their will. Just...just get away from him!" If only I was stronger.

Dante smirked.  "He's my boyfriend, therfore he should do what I tell him.  Wether he want's to or not,"  He said, pulling Drew closer in one sweep of his arm and throwing him against the wall. 

"Drew, go!"  Alexis said, now not wanting him to get hurt.  "What, you cheating on me, Alexis?"  He said.  "Y'know what?  I'll talk to you later about this."  He said, slaming Alexis against the wall, where Dante held him and gave him a rough kiss, then pushed away, smiking when Alexis slid to the ground. "See ya later, baby~"  He msirked, wlaking away.

____

"Yeah, he's talkign to Alexis now, I believe,"

Drew flinched when he hit the wall, but he didn't cry out. He'd learned how to keep from crying a while ago, but it wasn't like learning how to was going to give him an advantage. Drew shuddered, thinking, Damn, he's strong. My head's pounding right now. After waiting a while for his head to stop hurting, Drew made his way towards Alexis, kneeling down in front of him.

"Are you okay?" he asked quietly.

~

"Alexis is your guy-friend, right?" Naomi asked, tilting her head. She looked over in the direction of the door, frowning. Something was wrong, but she didn't know what. "Hey, did'ja hear that, George? I think someone's gettin' bullied..." She stood up, blinking at the door.

Alexis had his arms wrapped around his knee's and his head resting on his knee's, still shaking.  "....Yeah...."  He finally said.

___

"Yeah, he is...Let's check it out,"  She said, walking to the room, and holdinmg it open for her. (So polite! XD)

Alexis had his arms wrapped around his knee's and his head resting on his knee's, still shaking.  "....Yeah...."  He finally said.

___

"Yeah, he is...Let's check it out,"  She said, walking to the room, and holdinmg it open for her. (So polite! XD)

( xD I guess so. )

"Are you sure?" Drew set a hand on Alexis's arm, frowning. "You're shaking pretty violently...that's not always a good sign."

~

Naomi walked through the door, glancing at George over her shoulder like she was insane. Drew held doors open for people, but not Naomi. She just never got into the habit of doing it.

"..N..No duh..."  He said.  "..Look....You'd better stay out of this, okay?  You'l end up hurt in the long run,"  He said, to him, looking at him for the first oficial time.

_____

"Somethign wrong?" She asked, tilting her head.  "Uh...Never mind, let's go.  They should be on the next floor up,"  She said.
