William:

 Michelle remains quiet even after we leave the eatery and I feel a little bad. Okay, maybe more than a little. Even though I'm holding her hand to lead her home, I feel like she'll rather walk around the street blind than be beside me right now. Maybe I went a little too far back there but she started it. Maybe I should just be the adult here and apologize.
"I'm sorry, you know." I force out . Michelle doesn't say a thing.
"Did you hear me? I said I'm sorry Michelle!" she just scoffs and keep walking. I pull on her hand to bring her to a stop.
"What's your problem!" She yells at me.
"I'm trying to apologize, you infuriating woman!" I can't help but snap back. She snot unladylikely then burst into hysterical laughter.
"I'm glad my apology sounds funny to you." I spit.
"Wait, let me get this straight. You are trying to apologize?"
"yea?"
"okay. For what?" she places both hands on her hips.
"for--"
"For running off my fiance who doesn't deserve that by the way. He's only trying to set me free and I pay him back by turning our date into a joke because of you!"
"Set you free? From what?"
"Or are you sorry for making out with me when you have another woman?!" she snaps without answering me question.
"What are you sorry for, William?!"
"I don't have another woman." I say. 
"Don't you dare lie to me."
"I'm not. I really don't." I argue.
"Who was calling on your laptop this morning then? You think I didn't see that? How dumb do you think I am?!" She snaps

. I'm about to answer when I spot someone in a red sports car taking pictures of Michelle and I.
"Michelle?" 
"What!" Michelle yells, clearly still angry but all I want to do now is get her out of the streets.
"Someone's taking our pictures." I say silently.
"What?!" I feel her freeze.
"Don't turn back! Act normal. We just have to go around this building and lose him okay?" She nods slowly. I tighten my hold on her hand.
"This way." I pull her towards the back of a yellow bungalow and make sure to carefully lead her so she doesn't crash into anything in her state. It's hard.
"sh*t!" I curse when I see a woman alight the red car and starts walking faster towards us.
"What's wrong now?"
"she's following us." I inform Michelle as we take another turn. We are now off the street and closer to the beach. At least now I don't have to be scared of Michelle crashing into anything. It's just sand out here.
"She?!"
"Yea. It's a woman. Walk faster!"
"I'm trying, ok? The sand is making me slower." she complains. I look back to see the woman gaining up on us.
"Damn it! Get on my back."
"What?!"
"Come on!" I crouch in front of her and pull her hand to the right direction. She feel around for a few seconds before getting on.
"Are you sure you can carry me and run in sand?" She sounds doubtful.
"Less talking." I say as I start into a sprint.
"Do you think it's a good idea to run towards the house? You're just leading her to where we live, genius." Michelle points out, completely annoying me even though I see the Sense in her point.
"Will you shut up while I try to save you?"
"You're doing a dumb job at it. I can hear her breathing behind us. She must be close."
"Shut up, Michelle!" 
"No, you shut up!"
"I-- oomph!" I suddenly loose footing and slam into the sand.
"Liam!" I watch Michelle roll off a few feets away from me.
"Behind you!" I yell as I see the lady in the hood make a grab for Michelle.
"Liam!" she yells again as she tries to crawl away from the woman. I pick myself off the sand and grab the woman's shoulder.
"Let go of her.

. I don't want to hit a woman. Don't make me do it." I say.
"You'll have to take her from me then." I'm suddenly grab around the wrist and spinned. A hard fist slam into my back and I stagger backwards. I turn around to see the woman pulling Michelle unto her shoulder like a ragged doll. I quickly pull on her shoulder again.
"Don't let me hit you." I know I sound pathetic.
"You think I can't handle you huh? Alright come at me!" Michelle is flung to the sand and the woman smirk at me as she take a stance. She call on me with her index finger.
"Don't be a pussy Liam! Hit the f*cking woman!" Michelle snaps from the ground.
"But--" A fist slam into my stomach then my jaw in close succession. A catch her leg in mid air and throw it down a little carefully.
"You are going to have to hit me, pretty boy." The woman throws another punch and I dodge it.
"punch her Goddamnit!" Michelle growls. I bite down on my lips as I get in a single blow to the back of her neck. She slams to the ground, disoriented.
"Sorry!" I yell as I hurry to grab Michelle off the ground.
"Lets go." I say as I pull her unto my shoulder.
"Liam!" Michelle suddenly screams and before I can register what's happening, she's off my shoulder and slamming her fist into the throat of the woman who I now notice is holding a knife.
"Michelle, be ca--" My words hang as I watch Michelle expertly dodge the knife before slamming her feet against the side of the woman's head. The woman collapse to the ground.
 Michelle finally turn to face me and I realize her glasses are gone.
"close your mouth Liam." she says and my mouth only falls open wider. She can see me?
