Oli's POV

I awoke a lot more earlier then I normally would've but I didn't really care. Honestly, I just felt like shit. I didn't want to go to school, but I had to.

I begrudgingly left the warmth of my bed, beginning to make my way to the bathroom. I hesitantly looked up into the mirror to see red and puffy eyes indicating that I cried myself to sleep.

I then went ahead and glared at the reflection being shown. I hated how weak and pathetic I was. Why couldn't I just fight back? Why did I allow them to send words of hate my way? Even though I knew full well the pain that would follow.

I shook my head to rid myself of those thoughts. I didn't want to lose myself in them because honestly, they scared the living shit out of me.

I walked into school, cautiously looking around, once I was sure that nobody was going to come up to me I went to my locker. Once again, Josh wasn't there and that meant spending another day alone in this hell.

After getting my notebook from my locker I turned around, only to be greeted by a fist. I knew full well that it was Max. I mean who else could it be? I went to walk away but he grabbed my wrist and slammed me into my locker. I tried to get my wrist out his grip but the more I struggled, the tighter his grip got. I stopped struggling entirely, knowing that I wasn't going to be freed anytime soon.

"Aww the little pussy gave up!" Max exclaimed in a sickingly sweet voice. It made me want to puke.

I didn't respond this caused him to slam my face into the locker, pain erupted from my head as it was slammed into the locker. He did it again, causing me to let out a hiss of pain. He laughed at me and when he dragged me away from the locker I didn't fight or struggle. I just allowed it all to happen.

—

I walked out of school all beaten and bruised which made me an extremely happy person (Note the sarcasm).

By the time I reached mine, I was pretty much close to tears once again. I hated the pain that would strike my chest whenever the hateful comments were sent my way, I just longed for that feeling to not feel at all. That would make life so much easier than it is.

But if I didn't feel then I wouldn't of fallen in love with Josh. My mood instantly heightened as I thought of Josh, he literally made me so happy!

Josh's POV

I lay on my bed wondering how Oli was, I knew that he was most probably being beaten up again, which made me feel guilty for leaving him. But when I came home that day my parents saw the state I was in they immediately told me that I wasn't going into school for the next few days.

"Maybe I should surprise Oli by going over to his..." I wondered out loud, I lay there debating the thought and then I got up off my lazy ass, got dressed and headed downstairs, determined to go see Oli.

—

I stood in front of Oli's, hoping that he was in. I knocked on the door, no one answered at first but five minutes later the door opened to reveal a puffy eyed Oli. I knew immediately what was up and I pulled him into my arms.

Oli's POV

My mind didn't fully register that Josh was stood right in front of me until I was pulled into his arms. I sobbed into his chest, happy that he was ok.

When I had calmed down he pulled me into a kiss which I instantly melted into, I missed him so much within the past two days and all I wanted to do now was cuddle him to death. I soon felt Josh's lips leave mine, causing me to pout he just chuckled and asked whether I was going to let him in or not and I let him, sitting down on the couch with him next to me.

—

We were both cuddling each other and the feeling of tiredness soon washed over me, I knew I hadn't been getting much sleep due to the fact that I spent most of the night crying. I allowed myself to fall asleep, feeling safe and content.
