Gregory x CC (Evan)

Everythings okay!

(gregory pov:)
-this is a time skip to a week later on a friday

i walked out of the mall where freddy had been taking care of me. i had school and unfortunately monty wanted to try something new with my hair. he put spikes in it. freddy and i were very mad at him but since i was going to be late to school i didnt have time to fix it. oh well. 'i know evan will be confused at the change but whatever.' i thought about as i walked to the school from the mall. it was only a couple streets down so i didnt mind walking at all. honestly i quite enjoyed it too.

as i arrived at school, i saw evan getting yelled at by some older girl who seemed to be about 15,  with braids in her hair. Cassidy.
"c-cassidy please i didnt do anythin-" i heard evan explain before she shoved him onto his locker.

"let him go asshole!" i yelled as i ran over to her. she let him go to look at me and without thinking it through, i tackled her. although she was two years older than me, i was a boy. quite tall for my age too. she was a little taller but that didnt stop me from protecting my friend.
"what are you gonna do, hit me?!" she said as i sat above her with my arm raised. i realuzed i probably shouldnt take it that far...
without saying anything i stood up to look at evan who had tears in his eyes. did i take it too far...?
"Evan, dude im sorr-" he cut me off with a tight hug. everyone at this point was looking at us and i didnt want anyone to laugh at him for crying.
"come on lets go to the bathroom evan." i whispered still wrapped in his arms. i felt him nod then i took his hand. as we already made our way into the restroom, i pulled him into one of the stalls so nobody could see him but me.
"hey dude, why was she doing that crap?" i asked sorta angry. evan was sweet and didnt deserve to be shoved against a locker or hit by anyone.
"m-michael..my brother. he and his friends are always mean to me." he explained to me as we slid down the wall sitting down beside one another. i took his hand to let him know i was being sincere with my next choice of words,
"your worth more than what your brother and his friends tell you y'know?.." he looked at me with puffy eyes once again and i continued to speak, "you can tell me whenever those idiots are being idiots and ill deal with them dude. im your best friend and its pretty much my top priority to protect you man!" i smiled at evan who was sniffing away the snot that came down with his tears. i felt so bad for him. crying that heavily so often, obviously he hadnt been okay for a long time. i took my hands off of his and grabbed some toilet paper that hung out the wall. it was thin, (since it was from a school) so i made sure to grab a lot. i handed it to him so he could blow his nose. i looked away as he did so. after he threw it away he turned his face towards mine, but his eyes still drifted away.
"thanks g-gregory." he said between his huffs of breath. i smiled at him not wanting to say anymore. i pulled him closer to me into a long hug that lasted until a person with jangling keys walked into the restroom. 'oh shit- theres a teacher probably checking restrooms since the bell rang!' i thought to myself looking at his feet.
luckily he wasnt that good at his job and walked away, leaving the restroom empty once more.
"have we been in here that long..?" Evan asked me with his still wet cheeks.
"dont worry about it dude! its not like anyone cares if we skip a single class anyways." i said reassuringly.
i moved my right hand to wipe the tears off his face. i used to think the worst pain in my life was being alone. no parents, siblings, aunts, or uncles. but now i know that its really seeing the only real person i have, be this hurt. i simply wanted him to be okay now. i kept my smile as i used both of my hands to clear his tears.
"wanna stay here until class ends?" i ask.

"y-yeah..that'd be nice." he replied between hics.
we both held hands as we sat against the wall. our heads layed back, aligned with our backs. i turned to look at him and his eyes were closed. i faced forward again, waiting for the sound of the bell.

(okay bye thats the end now!)
