cracked window. Before I could turn for the door handle he had already turned around and grabbed for me again, his hand back on my bare thigh and the other pulling me towards him.
    "Knock it off, Dennis!" I shouted, swatting at him. But he just grabbed my arm and pulled it down into his crotch, forcing me to feel his hard on.
    "Come on, I know you want it," he smirked.
    "Dennis! Stop it!"
    Dennis’s door opened, the cold air rushing inside—and with the wintry air two big arms in a navy peacoat. The gloved hands seized him and pulled him hard from the car. I saw the look of absolute shock on his face just before he was dragged out of his seat and onto the wet muddy parking lot ground.
    James leaned down into the open door, his eye smoldering. "Get out, Allie."
    I obeyed, mindless in my shock, and scrambled out of the car. I nearly fell over on my high heels. I pulled my coat tight around me and started to circle the car.
    "Stay," James said, giving me another look before turning his attention to Dennis, who was getting back on to his feet.
    "What the fuck, James? These are brand new clothes," Dennis said.
    James took a threatening step towards Dennis. My heart pounded, I was afraid for Dennis and what James was going to do to him. He was a jerk but he didn’t deserve to get beat up, and anyway everything was my fault.
    "I could have sworn I made this clear years ago," James said.
    "She wanted to come out here!" Dennis shouted, gesturing wildly at me.
    "Maybe, maybe not. But this isn’t about her. It’s about you, Dennis."
    Dennis brushed off his slacks as he stood up. "Fuck," he mumbled, surveying his ruined clothes. Finally he looked up at James before glaring at me.
    "It’s true," I said. "I asked him to come out here. Leave him alone, James."
    But James had other ideas. He seized hold of Dennis and swung him against the car. "She’s not going to save you from this."
    "James!" I shouted.
    "Allie, go get in my car and shut up." When I didn’t move, he glared. "Now."
    "No. I’m not going anywhere with you."
    "Allie. Get in my car."
    "Only if you let him go."
    "Now."
    "No."
    James glared at me, mulling it over. Then turned back to Dennis. "If I ever see you trying to push yourself on my sister again, she won’t be able to save your ass."
    Dennis nodded. "Fine. Nothing even happened man."
    James let him go and turned towards me. "Let’s go."

    W e drove home in silence. James seemed to have let his rage go as soon as we pulled out of the Statesman parking lot, but not me. I was too drunk and startled and scared for Dennis to make sense of things in the parking lot. But now, in the silence of the car ride home, I had plenty of time to sort my feelings and to let what just happened sink in.
    James had just invaded and ruined my life again. I couldn’t even have one night, one night to maybe get the world of Bloomfield to change its opinion of me, to move myself out from under all the wreckage James started heaping on my social life four years ago.
    He must have saw my face because he said, "How can you possibly be mad at me?"
    I didn’t answer him. Maybe he would figure it out himself.
    But he just laughed, that deep, gravely laugh. "Incredible. She tries to get herself raped, I save her ass, and I’m the bad guy."
    I stared out my window, trying not to take his bait.
    "You should be thanking me. If I hadn’t thought to check on you tonight who knows what that creep would have done. Dennis-fucking-Kamp," he shook his head. "Fucking prick."
    Finally, I couldn’t shut up any longer.
    "You didn’t save me from anything I couldn’t handle," I snapped. "And even if you did, you’ve managed to humiliate me again in the process, which is worse than anything Dennis Kamp was going to do to me in that car."
    James mouth fell open. He looked literally shocked. "How did I humiliate you?"
    I shook my head. "Don’t act so thick. What do you think Dennis is going to say about what happened? That he was being grabby and my
