Chapter 131 Even if you're bald, I still like you

Bella didn't put up a fight when Zachary grabbed her. She just stood there, frozen, not even blinking, looking totally wrecked. When Zachary started to leave with her, I freaked out and jumped in their way.

"You can't take Bella away."

"As her best friend, you think it's cool for her to sit here in this freezing weather?" Zachary threw some shade at me, then brushed past and stuffed Bella into his car.

"Bella, listen to me!" A desperate voice called from behind.

I turned around to see Oliver stumbling over, banging on the car window.

"Bella, don't go with him. Get out. I know you're pissed. You can yell at me, hit me, whatever you need. Just get out, okay?" Oliver looked totally pathetic, begging like that, no dignity left.

"Get lost," Zachary snarled, shoving Oliver aside.

"Fuck," Oliver cursed, swinging a punch at Zachary.

But Oliver was drunk and slow. Before he could land a hit, Zachary decked him, sending him to the ground.

"You took my girl. I... I'm gonna kill you today."

Oliver's words were tough, but he just lay there, struggling to get up.

Zachary raised his fist for another punch, but it didn't land.

Ethan grabbed his arm and said calmly, "Beating up a drunk guy? Not exactly impressive."

I worried Ethan might start a fight with Zachary over Oliver.

"Let's go. I don't want to see him anymore," Bella suddenly said from inside the car.

Zachary bit his lip, nodded, yanked his hand free from Ethan, and got in the driver's seat.

I rushed up and pounded on the car window. "Bella, you can't go. Get out."

Bella ignored me, and Zachary floored it, speeding away.

Oliver struggled to get up and chased the car for a few steps before collapsing in the middle of the road.

His legs buckled a few times, and then he just lay flat, shouting like a madman.

"Come back, come back..."

Cars swerved around him, and some drivers even rolled down their windows to curse.

"Crazy, trying to get yourself killed."

Oliver pounded the ground with his fists.
