Carlos and Jorge returned with bags full of cash. "We got it, let's bolt!" they said.

"Wait," Cigarette Breath said. He roughly grabbed Jen. "I'm taking this slut with me." He ran his hands over Jen's body, pawing her tits. "Oh yeah baby, you and me gonna dance tonight, you're gonna love it," he said with an evil smile. He took a knife and lightly ran the sharp edge over her cheek. "Might not be so pretty after I get done with you though."

"Oh god, please," Jen sobbed. "Let me go."

Allie looked at Colin and the 3Cs. "Do something!" she implored desperately.

"Yeah man, do something," Cigarette Breath said mockingly, pointing his gun at Colin and laughing. "Come on, pretty boy, do something."

Colin shrugged and looked helplessly at Jen. "They've got guns," he said feebly. Adam, Billy, the 3Cs and Danny also looked helpless.

Cigarette Breath laughed. He dragged Jen to the exit, his buddies flanking him. "Come on, babe, you and me gonna have some fun." He looked at his friends. "Don't worry boys, you'll get a piece too. I'll try not to rough her up too much before you get your turn."

"No!" someone yelled to the side, and then a body slammed against Cigarette Breath, making him let go of Jen and sending him to the floor.

It was Mike. His face was a bloody mess, he was slumped over from the broken ribs, and he could barely stand. He stood protectively between Jen and the Mexicans. "Leave her alone!" he growled.

Cigarette Breath sprang up and pointed the shotgun at Mike's head. "You wanna die asshole!" he yelled. "Move!"

"I won't move," Mike said, winching at the broken ribs and slumping over more. "Leave her alone."

"I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Cigarette Breath screamed. "MOVE OR YOU WILL DIE!"

"I won't move," Mike insisted, holding his ground between Cigarette Breath and Jen. He was barely after to speak, barely able to stand. "I love her. You'll have to kill me. But I won't move."

"FUCK YOU!" Cigarette Breath yelled, and he slammed the gun against Mike's head. Mike staggered and fell, but then got back on his feet, standing protectively between Cigarette Breath and Jen.

Sirens blared in the background. They were distant but getting close fast. "Come on man we gotta go!" Carlos said to Cigarette Breath, pulling his arm.

"FUCK!" Cigarette Breath screamed. He took the butt of the gun and slammed it against Mike's head again. Then he and his friends ran out the back door.

Mike collapse to the floor, blood everywhere. Jen got on her knees, holding him. "Mike, Mike," she sobbed. "Mike ..."

Everyone -- Allie, Colin and the 3Cs, all of Jen's sorority sisters, everyone from Alpha Gamma Alpha, everyone --all were looking at Mike, bloody and not moving, and Jen holding him, sobbing uncontrollably. They couldn't believe what had just happened.

Adam and Victor moved to help Mike. "Stay away from him!" Jen hissed. But she needed help to get Mike to the hospital. She frantically looked around and then saw them. "Sam, Zack, Drums -- can you help?" she pleaded. The AGA brothers moved forward to help their friend and his new girlfriend.

"You need to go home and get some rest," Allie implored her friend. "I'll stay here with him."

"No Allie, I have to stay," Jen said tearing up again. She'd cried almost constantly since Mike was rushed to the hospital the day before. "I can't leave him."

Later that day 3 people arrived, an older man and woman, and a man a few years older than Mike. It was Mike's father, mother and older brother Joe.

"Oh my god, my baby!" his mother wailed, hurriedly moving to Mike's side. Jen stepped back as the family gathered around the bed, although she stayed close.

After a few minutes the family realized Jen was there. "Who are you?" the mother asked brusquely.

"I'm Jen," Jen said. "I called you ...."

"Oh yes," Mike's father said. "Mike's girlfriend."

Jen nodded.

Mike's father and Joe looked Jen up and down, startled by her beauty. Joe thought to himself "way to go bro."

Mike's mom looked her up and down too, but her eyes were much less friendly. "You can leave, we're here," she said tersely.

"I'll stay, thank you," Jen said.

His mom glared at her. "Mike got hurt, in a fight over you?" she said icily, looking down her nose. "My son does not fight. You can leave now."

Jen held back tears. "I'll stay, thank you," she said in a trembling voice. She sat back in the chair and took Mike's hand.

His mom glared at Jen. Joe said conciliatorily, "Come on mom."

The doctor walked in. "How is he?" Mike's dad asked urgently.

"He should be okay, eventually," the doctor said. "Four broken ribs, but his lung wasn't punctured. Somewhat a miracle, given the beating he took. He'll have a very severe concussion. But he should make a full recovery. He'll be hurting for a while though. A lot of migraines. I've prescribed pain medication."

"But he hasn't woken up!" Jen cried, tears falling down her cheeks. Everyone looked at her.

"He's healing inside," the doctor said. "He should wake up soon."

Just then Mike's eyes opened. He flailed his arms and cried "Jen, Jen!"

"I'm here!" Jen cried going to him.

He pulled her to him, relief on his face. "I'll always take care of you," he said, drifting off into unconsciousness again.

"I know!" she said, sobbing into his chest. Mike's dad, mom and Joe exchanged looks.

The security officer came to take Mike and Jen's statements. Mike was unconscious. Jen described the Mexicans. She also told them about Colin and the 3Cs, how they ganged up on Mike. "I want to press charges against them," she said firmly. "All of them."

"Even Colin?" the security officer said warily. Pressing charges against Penn State's star quarterback would be a major scandal. Earlier that week Penn State had been ranked #3 after their victory over Michigan State. A major bowl bid was a guarantee, even a shot at the national championship.

"Especially Colin," Jen said fiercely. The security officer men looked warily at each other. Penn State had a lot of influence over the State College security officer department.

Mike gradually got better. Jen never left his side, not even for a minute. Allie brought her clothes, and homework from her professors. At first Mike couldn't focus his eyes, so Jen read him books. She read him the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, some of his favorite books. She wasn't into it at first, but by the end she was turning the pages as fast as she could read.

One night she rented Night of the Living Dead and smuggled in buttered popcorn. She spent most of the movie with her head buried in Mike's arm, too terrified to watch, but she managed to make it through the whole movie.

Mike's family came back the next weekend. Mike was sleeping. They found Jen sitting in the same chair as when they'd left the week before, next to Mike, holding his hand. "She's not left his side for even a second," a nurse whispered to Mike's mom. Mike's dad heard it and gave his wife a hard stare. She shrugged, as if relenting.

"Let's get some coffee," Mike's mom said to Jen. "Don't worry, they'll watch Mike," she added motioning to Mike's dad and Joe.

"You're very pretty," Mike's mom said as they sat with coffee.

Jen blushed. "My mom says that gets me into trouble," she said.

"Does it?" his mom said. "Boys fighting over you?"

Jen looked down, shamefaced. Her pretty looks DID get her into trouble. So did all her flirting. "I'm sorry," she said weakly, knowing her apology didn't make up for the trouble she caused.
