Mark grabbed Lilly's hand. He was pissed. He knew this guy's reputation...and he'd be damned if his sister became Dwayne's new conquest.
"Lilly, what do you think you're doing?"
Rarely did he go into big brother mode because he knew independence was important to Lilly, that protective!Mark switch he has had been flipped.

Lilly stood slowly, standing with her brother. "What do you think you're doing? Mark...Mark, please...be understanding, please, just this once!" She moved from one foot to the other, shifting like a begging child (although that would probably be an accurate description at the moment.) She sent Dwayne a desperate glance, and then looked back to her brother.

Mark shook his head, "No Lilly. If this were anyone else I'd be ok with it. I would, but not with him. I mean," He stopped and rubbed his face.
"Lilly, you're my little sister and the things he does with his girlsfriends are not the things I want him to do to you. You're not old enough and the last thing I want is for him to treat you like the other girls he's had."

"Gee, way to be subtle," Lilly answered, motioning to her new...acquaintance? Boyfriend? What word could she use? "He's right there, he can hear you. And it's not like he's going to rape me or anything, keep a level head about this...Mark, please? Please?" Okay, so maybe that wasn't the smoothest thing she could have said, considering, again- he was right there. But she wanted to get her point across, and this is how she was going to go about it.

Mark let go of Lilly's hand and turned from her. He was fuming but tried desperatly to get a level head like she asked.
But this was his little sister, he was supposed to protect her....and this guy...well, he showed all the signs of hurting her.
He doesn't turn to face her as he spoke, "Lilly, I don't care if he can hear me. You're not just some girl he can date, use, and throw away...you are my little sister damn it. I'm supposed to protect you and if that means being the bad guy in this situation, than so be it."

Lilly frowned. "So you're not gonna be nice? Can we just go home now? I'm embarrassed enough now as it is; you don't have to make it worse..." She turned to Dwayne for a minute. "Our number's in the phone book and the school directory. Call me, okay?" She returned to Mark, a hand on her hip. "What's it going to be? Are we going to stand here and humiliate me some more or what?"

Mark looked at Lilly, "Go to the car Lillian."
He then looked at Dwayne, "And you, until you show that you're not going to make my sister your next conquest, not going to hurt her, stay away from her. Don't call her. I know she likes you, hell, it even looked like you kinda like her too, but stay away from her until you show me that you're not going to leave her broken."
With that Mark stormed to the car after Lilly.

Lilly was leaning her back on the passengers side door when Mark arrived. "I don't see why you have to ruin...this. It's my own fault if I get hurt." She frowned at this. "As much as I don't want to, you know, I really do like him." She threw her stuff in the car and stepped into the front seat. "Let's go home."

Dwayne was stunned to the point of being speechless. That seemed so impossible just a little while ago, but being scolded by a guy who he had often found to be a pretty cool person certainly shut him up. He wished he could be insulted by Mark thinking that Lilly was his new "conquest". Actually, he was. But he also knew that he deserved every bit of it. How the hell was he supposed to prove that he wasn't going to do that again? It wasn't as if he really meant to hurt people...
He sighed softly as he stood up. He needed to go somewhere else in the worst way. He rushed toward the driveway, ready to drive as fast as was legal to get his mind off of things momentarily.
