Big Red's POV

"Ashy... baby..." I said, wrapping my girlfriend in a hug. We were at in the nurse's office. She winced. "I'm sorry!" I let go.

"It's fine." She shifted, putting one arm around me as her other arm had a bruise forming.

"I can't believe he would do that. I never would have let you talk to him. I'm so sorry. We should have just told someone, I shouldn't have encouraged you. And I shouldn't protected you, jumped in front of you—"

"It's not your fault Jackson has a punch that's so fast."

"We're telling someone now." I sat beside her. She leaned on my shoulder.

"I know."

"How you feeling, though?"

"It hurts, but... I mean, it's just a bruise I guess." She made a weak shrug.

"Can I look?" I asked. She rolled up her sleeve. I looked for a quick second before looking away. "Ouch."

"Yeah." She let her sleeve back down. "Where's the nurse?" She said, trying to reach to look through the door.

"I'm sure she'll be here in a minute love." I squeezed her hand lightly.

"Okay."

"I'm just so sorry." I said, leaning onto her head which was still resting on my shoulder. "I wish I could have just stopped him."

"I told you..."

"I know. I just hate it when you're hurt, it makes me upset."

"Hey, babe, I'll be fine in a minute."

"Since when does a bruise heal in a minute?" I mumbled.

"When you're upset, I get upset, and since my arm already hurts..."

"Are you bribing me to be happy?" I asked.

"Maybe." She smirked. I rolled my eyes and kissed her. I smiled when we broke apart. "But it worked." She smiled.

"Yes it did." I replied. We locked eyes for a moment before the nurse came in.
