Hard Love

Why Do I Care.

Tim POV

I was on the ground at this point. Completely battered and bruised. And I can taste blood in my mouth. I think the inside of my cheek was cut.  Josh stood over me and twisted the caller of my sweeter again pulling my face close to his. The others walked away, some with more injuries than me. But still in a better position than me. Now it was just me and Josh. If your going to hit me then get it over with you jackass. I thought. We sat there for a moment, then he tugged me harder to him and I closed my eyes waiting to get hit. But instead of more pain, I something warm and soft. I opened my eyes to see that Josh. My bully is.......... KISSING ME?!?! I pushed away quickly and steady myself on my own, and wiping my mouth in complete disgust.

"WHAT THE HELL JOSH?!?!" I yell at him.

"What? Is it wrong that a bully likes his pray? Your parents used to be Bully and Pray. Not only that their both men." He told me slyly.

"THAT DOESN'T MEAN I WANT TO BE YOUR BITCH!!!" I spat at him, and this made him angry.

How DARE he bring up mom and dad's past. Yes dad bullied mom. But they went through a lot for them to be together. Josh came at me, knocking me down sending pain through my back and he crashed your lips together. I tried to push him off but every time I tried I met with a painful punch to by hide, until I couldn't move anymore. When I stopped struggling, Josh broke the forced kiss and chuckled evil. I hate this basterd I told myself, and it was the honest truth. Then I suddenly felt his hand slide up my shirt. I want to push him off but the pain is to much. As he started to play with my chest, my eyes start to mist from tears. God!! I'm going to be raped!! It feels so disgusting. Someone, anyone please help me.

"P-plank" I quietly muttered through my silent sobs.

I clenched my eyes tight feeling completely dirty, when suddenly I felt Josh's wait quickly lift off me. I open my eyes to see him dangling by his shirt, then abruptly thrown to the school wall. He slid down the wall, passed out. And I was picked and cradled in someone's arms. I looked to see that it was Plank. As everything went dark I touched his face and mumbled, "My hero." And I passed out. After what seemed like only a little while, I woke up to my mom pacing back and forth and my dad trying to calm him down.

"Edd, babe. Calm down and stop pacing. You know it just makes you more agitated." Said my dad.

"Well, Kevin. Maybe I have a right to be. One our son was getting bullied, and not only that. But one of them tried to RAPE him. Doesn't that give me a right to be angry. I swear the moment I get a hold of that boy's parents and find out who the others were, they will how much of a BITCH I CAN BE!!!!" My mom yelled the last part. I never heard my mom swear before.

"Edd, I'm pissed off too. But right now we focus on Tim and wait till he is awake. Then we can go raise hell with the others. You don't think they don't want to see that brat do time?" My dad told mom and he stopped pacing and hugged dad.

"Your right sweetheart." he agreed and my dad wrapped his arms around mom. Saying that he was grateful that Plank came to get me. Then they left the room.

I noticed something moving to my left and tiredly looked. It was Plank, and Madilyn. They were asleep. Madilyn was sleeping on the window bed tucked in nice and tight. Her eyes were red. Clearly from crying her eyes out from what happened. And plank was at my side, head lying one arm on the bed and holding my hand with his. These two. What am I going to do with you? I laughed, at my thought silently and started to gently pet Planks head with my free bandaged hand. To this he woke up and sleepily looked at me. Seeing pull my hand away snapped him in wide awake mode and he stood up to yell the I was awake, until I grabbed his hand stopping him and he looked at me confused.

"Shhh, our angle is asleep." I told him pointing at Maddie.

He looked at her then back at me, sitting back in seat. He looked at me seriously and asked, "Where did that brat touch you?" Shocked I told him that he only got as far as a kiss and my chest. Then hearing this Plank put his head in his hands saying "I'm sorry" I took one of his hands and gently pulled them away from his face.

"It's not your fault." I told him.

He put his head on my bandaged chest. I started to pat his chest and giggle. "Plank, what are you doing?" I asked. Then the next thing I knew, he looked up and suddenly kissed me on the lips. I was shocked. But I wasn't disgusted. In fact it was nice and his lips were soft. I guess my body started to move on it's own. My arms rapped wrapped around his neck deepening the kiss, he seemed surprised but he didn't pull away. And when he did he looked me strait in the eye and said, "I love you cactus brain." I chuckled and kissed his nose and said, "I might feel the same termite breath."
