HATE FALL LOVE

Chapter 3

[Brianna's POV]

"Let me go, Kent!"

I kept grunting and kicking but still failed to even do anything to stop him as Kent carried me until he got to where he wanted me to be. Suddenly, I was gently brought down, and Kent was now putting a helmet over my head. I tried to stop him from doing that but his arms were just too strong and I felt helpless. I kept glaring at him the whole time and when he was finally done with making sure it was settled safely around me, I finally found my voice.

"I drove my car here," I told him, trying to move so I could remove the helmet. But Kent did not even spare a second before he was quickly reaching forward and stealing my phone from the small purse I had around my body. He then started dialing some number on my lock screen. I was in utter shock and disbelief to even react accordingly and I just watched as Kent held the phone against his ear as if it was perfectly normal to use someone else's phone to call somebody. I slowly felt furious and tried to reach for it but Kent was too tall and his arms were too thick that I just became a pathetic kid trying to fight with him.

Feeling completely at a loss, I heard Kent finally speaking to someone from the other end of the line and suddenly mentioned the name of my friend.

"Yeah, meet me here right now," he said after exchanging a few words with the person I still don't know who was. And what did he say about Jess? What the hell was going on? What was he going to do with her?

"Give it back to me!" I yelled at him furiously and no longer cared if I had to dive over him to get my phone back. But since Kent was really strong, he only caught my body and held me with one strong arm while still stretching his other arm away from my reach. I groaned angrily and grabbed his the collar of his shirt with a deep scowl on my face.

"What are you planning to do with Jess, huh?" I snarled at him and somehow, I found our faces positioned too close to each other. And only then I did realize that my whole body was completely plastered against his. But I tried not to be distracted by the feeling of his warmth surrounding me so I just kept glaring at his face and hissed, "If you ever get one of those bastards to touch a hair on her I would really kill you, Kent Knight!"

Kent did not seem to be fazed however and he just smirked at my words as he teasingly touched my nose with his and then said, "Chill, princess. This is for your own good."

"Own good?" I scoffed back, "My own good? What the hell are you saying? I better get back to that party now or else I would totally scream so loud everyone in this neighborhood would wake and think you've been harassing me!"

"Be careful," as soon as those words left my mouth, the expression on Kent's face changed immediately and the stare he gave me sent chills down my spine. It was very cold and his voice had gotten lower and even serious now. Then after a short pause, he slowly put me down but still held me close to his chest as he leaned his face towards mine, imprisoning me with those dark brown eyes of his.

"Why are you trying so hard to get away from me, Brianna?" he suddenly asked, still with that deep husky sound of his voice penetrating through my chest as I found myself gawking at his face. "I will never hurt you, and you know that. I'm even protecting you now."

No, you don't.

I almost wanted to say that back to him but before I could even open my mouth, someone else had suddenly appeared beside us. The noise of the footsteps quickly alarmed both Kent and I, prompting us to separate. I immediately stepped back, looking terribly nervous to have ever been caught in that scene. I cleared my throat and looked down, the embarrassment washing me down into silence. While Kent, on the other hand, just casually moved towards ne to put the phone back in my small purse and then he took the car keys I had kept inside it before he approached the other guy and finally talked with him.

"You drive her car tonight and make sure you bring the friend safe to her own place right away. I call you later to check on you both," he told the guy, giving him the keys, much to my disapproval. But I still could not make a stand for myself. He was really going to take me home himslef without even considering if I actually wanted to go with him. Wow. I guess this was just how the party was going to be for me and Jess tonight. I knew it. I really should not have gone here in the first place. I knew from the moment when I first saw Kent being present here as well that it was all just going to ruin the whole mood for me and Jess.

What a jerk.

I had been actually trying to look forward to enjoying my first night of not having to worry about the curfew at home. But this jerk just had to go and destroy it all to me. I can't believe this. When the other guy finally left, I was now standing behind Kent with my arms crossed over my chest, looking like I was about to murder him. I really hate him now. I already hated him before this but now it just became even much worse.

I didn't want to be close to him again, but here I was, not even doing anything to run away. I could not even try even if I wanted to. Because I knew... if I ever really run away he would just chase after me faster than I could escape. And that was really what made me feel trapped. I had always been in love with this guy... And those feelings that I had tried to bury deep down in my chest were also the same obstacle I knew I can never get over no matter how much I wanted to hate him.
