CAT FIGHT!

Heather didn’t answer. Before anyone knew what happened, Hannah was seeing stars. Heather’s opened right hand came out of nowhere and connected with the left side of her face. As the older Woodsen girl reeled from being slapped, Heather reached out for her again and grabbed a handful of her hair. Zack, Taylor, and Ashley all grabbed onto her but were unable to contain the raging Heather.

“WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY TO ME, BITCH?” Heather screamed as she pounced on Hannah.

“GET OFF ME!” Hannah screamed back as she felt Heather’s fist connect with her lip.

“CAT FIGHT!” screamed Shawn at the top of his lungs. The rest of the group came over and tried aching for a view. Kurt tried to weasel his way through everybody to help break it up, but Shawn stopped him.

“GET THE FUCK OFF ME!” he yelled.

“NOT IF YOU’RE GONNA TRY TO STOP IT! THIS IS THE AWESOMEST SHIT I’VE EVER SEEN! WHERE’S MY PHONE?” Shawn shouted.

With Heather on top of her, Hannah knew she was in for an ass beating. She covered her face with one hand and grabbed for any part of Heather she could latch onto with the other. Heather dropped a punch right into Hannah’s stomach and knocked the wind out of her. Despite barely being able to breathe, she somehow managed to get a hold of the brunette’s long hair. With all the **** she could muster, she jerked her hand towards the floor. A shrill cry escaped from Heather’s mouth as much of the hair Hannah pulled on was ripped out at the roots. As Heather screamed, Zack was finally able to wrap his hands around her. His left arm snaked up under her dress and his right crossed over her shoulder. He quickly locked his fingers and stood up. Brandishing strength he never knew he had, he lifted Heather off of Hannah and carried her into the shower, where he dropped her roughly on her ass. Before she could get to her feet, Zack turned the showerhead on and set it to cold. Having not been used since the previous summer, the pipes were filled with ice cold water. The icy blast hit Heather like a thousand knives. The air escaped from her lungs. She tried standing up, but Zack pushed her down.

“MOTHER FUCKER! THAT SHIT IS FREEZING!” she screamed.

“GOOD BECAUSE YOU AIN’T MOVING UNTIL YOU COOL OFF!” Zack shouted back.

Heather tried twice more to get up. Zack shoved her back down to the tiled floor both times. Heather was in the shower for about five minutes before Zack realized that she was wearing a white dress and everything she had was now on display as the fabric became sheer the moment it was introduced to the water. Despite being able to see her nipples through her wet dress, Zack remained calm. When it was apparent that he had knocked all the fight out of Heather, he shut the water off.

“STAY THERE!” he ordered her.

Heather curled up into a ball as Zack shouted for someone to get his shirt from the hallway. Her makeup was running down her face and there was now a bare spot on the side of her head where her hair was yanked out. Tears burst from her eyes as she turned and face the wall.

Meanwhile out in the hallway, Taylor and Ashley were helping Hannah to her feet. Her lip was bleeding from where Heather had punched her and the side of her face was starting to swell. Taylor led her into the bedroom and had her sit on the bed. After a series of tests, it was clear that Hannah did not have a concussion.

“Ash, get me some water, a wet rag and some ice. And some aspirin, please” she ordered.

“How bad is it?” Hannah asked as her sister ran to the kitchen.

“Well, you took it like a champ. It’s a good thing Zack was able to get her off you, because Ashley and I were useless out there,” Taylor informed her best friend.

“Where did he take the little shit?”

“I think he threw her in the shower,” Zack’s sister answered.

“Hey there!” Zack said as he stepped into the bed room.

“Who’s watching Heather?” Taylor said as she shot her brother a look.

“Kurt, Vicky and Kendra. I told her if she starts any more shit that I’m going to throw her ass in the lake next,” Zack stated.

“I’m sorry Zack. I didn’t mean for that to happen,” Hannah apologized as a tear ran down her swollen cheek.
