"Hey let's get the fuck out of this school," Jordan says, walking up to Morgan and me.

"Babe, we have to wait for Kylie," Morgan says, then kisses her.

"Uggggg, I hate this stupid ass school,"

I chuckle and just listen to their conversation when my phone dings, "Never mind. Kylie says that she will meet us outside. She is with Dutch."

"Thank god. Come on. Why are you guys walking so fucking slow." Jordan says, walking away and then quickly back to us to push us out of the school.

Morgan and I laugh at her antics, "What the fuck is wrong with you today," Morgan said to her.

"Why can't I hate school?" She said.

"Haha, Jordan. I love you." I said, laughing at her and walking down the steps of the school.

I looked around for Kylie. I smiled when I saw Bryce leaning against his car. I walked over to him. I place my bag down by his feet and put my arms around his neck.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me. "Hi, baby."

"Hi," I smile and kiss him again.

"Ready to go home?"

"Yes," I smile.

"What the fuck is going on," Bryce and I snapped our heads toward our group of friends. They were all looking at us like we were crazy.

"Maybe we should tell them," Bryce said, looking at me.

"I don't know. Should we?" I said, smiling at him.

"Uh, I think you should tell us," Kylie said.

"Well, Juliet Hadsen is my beautiful girlfriend," Bryce says, than kissing me.

They just sat there stunned.

"Well shit! Sorry, babe, looks like the whole school knows now." Bryce whispered to me. I look at him with shocked eyes. I discreetly look around, and I see everyone staring at us.

"Bryce, get me out of here. I hate this attention," He smiled but nodded. He gently pushed me away, opened the passenger side door, and helped me into the car.

Once he got in I looked over at him and said, "How did I get lucky with you? I love you so much, Byrce."

He leans over the center console and kisses me, "I love you too, Jules. You have made me the happiest man alive."

(time jump - three weeks)

I was driving home thinking about the last three weeks. Bryce and I have been going steady and I have fallen more in love with him. I also decided about a week and a half ago that I would give him my v card. I was super scared, but Bryce being the sweetheart he is, was super gentle and went at my pace. I love this man to death, and would do anything for him.

I walked into the house. It was silent, which is normal, but it was very weird for everyone to be out of the house at three in the afternoon on a Saturday.

I didn't think any of it and just walked up to my room. I heard someone in the office and assumed it was Steven.

~~~

Juliet: Hey, are you home?

Bryce: Sorry, babe, I'm not. Everyone is at the warehouse.

Juliet: Everyone?

Bryce: Ya. Both our parents and your brother.

Juliet: Bryce?! I am home, and I heard someone in the office! I assumed it was your dad.

~~~

I quickly went to my bathroom, locked it, and went into my closet. I tried to be as quiet as I could, but I heard something in my room fall when going into the bathroom. I quickly called Bryce. To say I was scared is an underestimate.

~~~

Bryce: Juliet!

Juliet: Come home!! Fast!!

Bryce: I am trying to get there as fast as I can. Everyone is. Try and get somewhere safe.

Juliet: I can't, Bryce. I am already in my room. I locked my bathroom, closet, and I am in here.

~~~

I snapped my head towards the door when I heard a bang on it, and it swing open.

~~~

Juliet: BRYCE!!! HURRY PLEASE. SHUT UP, YOU LITTLE BITCH.

Bryce: Two minutes, Juliet. One minute. Here.

~~~

I put my car into park, turn it off, and ran into the house. I could see my men looking around the house and clearing it for no danger. Except I didn't fucking care. I had two men follow behind me as I ran to Juliet's bedroom. It was a mess. Like it was ransacked. I quickly scanned the room to make sure she wasn't in the central part of the room and then ran into her closet.

I froze. I couldn't move. The love of my life was lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

"Bryce, snap the fuck out of it. Mike, call the doctor. Diego, cover Bryce's bed with towels. Cisco, get me gauze. Someone slap Bryce." Dutch says.

"Don't fucking touch me," I said and quickly went over to Juliet.

"Don't touch her, Bryce. We don't know her injuries. Hold this gaze to her head. That is all you can do right now. Please wait for the doctor before you move her. And Bryce, please listen to me. You mustn't move her."

"I won't," I whispered and placed the gaze on her head to hopefully stop the gash from bleeding.

I always promised myself, that I would protect her, and I couldn't. I wasn't there to protect her. I feel like I can't breathe. I failed her. And now I have no clue if she is okay.

I felt someone sit next to me and place a hand on my shoulder, I looked over at them, and it was my mother, "She is okay, baby. The doctor will be here in five minutes."

"I failed her mom," I whispered to her.

"No, you didn't. You got to her as fast as you could."

I looked back at my girl and just tried to focus on her. She was the only important thing right now.
