My Day

What Really Happened

Isaac's POV:

        Travis will try and tell you the story of what happened on the first day he noticed I was cute but he always makes it sound like he was so cool. I remember that day well because it was the first day I noticed that he was ... well you know attractive. 

        I was walking with Brooke back to the nurse after we went to creative writing club because my eye had started to bleed after we had done some improv games and I had gotten a little to into it. My eye was bleeding profusely we went to turn a corner. SLAM!! Damn that big lug he slammed right into me I look up at him of course he doesn't get knocked over he's a giant and muscular and that stupid haircut that is so perfect for his perfectly dumb face with those beautifully idiotic green eyes. Eyes that were filled with rush, panic, and kindness. What am I thinking? I hate him, Don't I? He has barley said a nice thing to me ever but he is so damn cute.

        He reached down to me I put my free hand into his its so warm and strong "we need to stop meeting like this ya big lug" "sorry about that I'm just trying to get to practice I'm running a little late" He looks at my arms. They are covered in bruises but they aren't even they worst part my eye has swollen shut and it started bleeding but my stomach has most of the bruises and the worst ones. Brooke got in between Travis and I "Travis get out of my way or so help me god" "why? Whats going on?" Brooke turned back to me she grabs my hand and pulls it off my eye "this is why some guy is bullying him his eye is swollen shut and bleeding. Look at this it isn't even the worst" Oh god what is she going to do. She grabs the bottom of my shirt and before I could protest she lifts it up. I felt so uncomfortable especially with the draft. I pull it back down. I glare daggers at her. How dare she do that to me doesn't she realize I find him attractive ... oh wait she doesn't know because I didn't even know until just now. I began to blush "Isaac please tell me who did this to you I want to help you nobody should be beaten up for any reason" Travis pleaded.

         I let out a deep sigh trying to sound like I didn't want to but I loved having a boy this cute be concerned about me. Against my better judgment, I told him "Fine" I leaned over to him "how am I supposed to tell you anything when you're all the way up there". I pulled on his arm he lowered his ear "It was Brayden the one on the football team" He stood up suddenly pulling his arm out of my grip and running off toward the football field. "Travis TRAVIS GET BACK HERE NOW OR AT LEAST DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID" I yelled after him. Brooke started to follow him "where are you going?" "well I'm leaving my gbf to go make sure that the guy acting like a valiant knight doesn't get hurt to badly" "fine I'm going to the nurse". And that's how I decided to call Travis My knight. Ooh wait thats not the end ignore that last sentence or don't I have no power over you. So I walked to the nurse in a stunned silence Travis went of to fight someone for me Brooke just announced that I was gay even though I still refused to come out for the next three or so years. I wandered into the nurses office.

        I sat down on one of the weird plastic beds. She walked in "Isaac you're back and you look even worse than yesterday" "well you know getting beaten up again has a tendency to do that" I retort. She looks up at me "here is a band-aid for above your eye here is an ice pack to help with the swelling" "thanks". About five minutes later Brooke helps Travis into the Nurses office. "Brayden packs a punch" she explained. She helped him lie on the bed and I felt bad "Travis are you okay?" "yeah my face just hurts" "I told you not to do anything stupid and whats the first thing you do" "is it do something stupid" "very good ... and bad I think but ...um I think thank you although you may have just made it worse" "what makes you say that?" "that" I said as I pointed out the window where Brayden was standing he dragged his thumb across his throat.

        "I'm dead, I'm dead I'm so dead and its all my fault I knew you would do something stupid I knew I should have stopped you" I moaned pacing the small room. Travis sat up on his bed. I couldn't stop freaking out "won't Robert just protect you" "he can't we have no classes together yet I have all my classes with Brayden, and I've already started taking the long way to all my classes so I don't have to run into him almost ever" "Well if you really need protection I guess I could walk you from third to fourth and sixth to seventh". He was blushing intensely and scratching the back of his head "If you would be so kind" I said I could feel myself blushing I wanted to kiss him but he's straight, right? if he wasn't I would've gone for it. He did only come out last year like me so we both assumed the other was straight.

        This was one of the happiest times of my life I became popular because of him. Then 8th grade year we got into an argument and we started to hate each other because of some people. I got into an argument with some of his football friends. He took their side and I stormed off. We didn't talk until last year and then we became boyfriends fast. In reality we just picked up where we left off. Now as I lay in his hospital bed I decide I need to apologize for that. I tapped on his chest. "Oh so you're still awake to" "yeah I was just thinking about the first day I noticed how attractive you are. That lead me to the fight we had in 8th grade the one that made us hate each other" "weird so was I" "Travis, I'm sorry about all that imagine if we hadn't had that stupid fight we could have been dating so much sooner and you would have never bullied me" I cuddled in closer to him "I regret only one thing and it is doing that to you" I pulled him closer to me "oh don't worry your entire version of bullying me was adding gay to everything you said seriously honey you weren't meant to bully people you just suck at it".

        He moved his arm over and placed it on my back. I smiled and blushed softly. He starts rubbing my back. "Travis you get out tomorrow and I don't get out for another couple days but even then I'm barely allowed out of my bed so I can't go to school so I'm going to be alone while you're at school and I don't wanna be alone so I was wondering if I could get you out of school would you stay home with me?" "do I have a choice?" "for once the answer is yes" "cut off the for once and you have your answer" "great remind me tomorrow to call the school and get you excused until I come back the principal owes me one" "Isaac it seems that everyone in town owes you one" "everyone except you" He starts to laugh "and Edam and TJ and Robert you four are the only people who don't owe me at least one" "how did I get lucky enough to be able to date you?" "with all your charm and might you overpowered my better judgment and that has happened multiple times but even when you do stupid things like the horrible hospital date you redeem yourself with wonderful times like the cupcake shop. And may I just say it doesn't hurt that you are the hottest guy in this whole town" "Isaac I think this is the first time I've heard you use hot to describe anything" "yeah I've always avoided the word it just bugs me but it describes you accurately"

Quotes from Isaac: Damn it I wanted popcorn, I made popcorn, I don't want popcorn. How the fuck does that even work I try to satisfy my sudden need for popcorn now suddenly popcorn sounds about as appealing as getting stabbed or seeing Brayden was in middle school. Ugh, Robert I made you popcorn. Take it before I murder it or you. Grr
