"So your telling me Moose started attacking Bruce for no reason?" Finney says bandaging up Bruce's hand. He squints his eyes in pain.
He opens his mouth as he's about to say something but I cut him off.
"Yup, I guess he just went batshit crazy." I shrug.
I can tell that he was looking at me with a concerned look.

I couldn't let them know that I was crying. They'll get all worried about me again and I don't want that, ever again.

"Well, your lucky none of the teacher saw you. Or else you wouldn't be able to play at the baseball game today." Billy says.
Bruce eyes widens.
"I forgot all about the baseball game today."
Griffin facepalms.
"How could you forget about your own baseball game idiot." Bruce shrugs.
"It was all my mind all day until that happened." He says.

"Well whatever. I'll see you guy in lunch. I don't wanna be late." Griffin says waving.
Robin rolls his eyes.
"Of course your leaving. Your such a goody-two-shoes."
Finney smacks the back of Robin's head.
"Shush your mouth. Your just upset because you failed your math test today." Robin rubs the back of his head.
"I'm with Griff. There's one more period until lunch anyways." Finney shrugs leaving the bathroom.
"Welp, I have to go to-"
I tried to leave but was pulled back from Bruce.
"We are not done young man."
He pokes my cheek.
"We'll see you live bugs later, don't make out in the bathroom while we're gone." Robin says with Billy following behind.

Bruce grabs my hands putting it to his chest
"Can you tell me what Moose said please? I really didn't like seeing you like that." Bruce says softy. I sigh.
"It's really nothing. Its stupid actually." I lightly chuckle.
"Honey. If it was nothing then it shouldn't have made you almost have a panic attack." He then sits me down on the floor. He sits down next to me placing his head on my shoulder.
"Just know that I love you, okay?" I slightly nod in return.
I wanted to tell Bruce but I didn't know how he would react. Don't get me wrong, I wont get upset seeing Bruce punch someone again but I really want him to compete in his baseball game tonight. And his sister, he's going to be pissed at the girl if I tell him about what happened. But, I remember what Robin told me. He told me that I should always be honest in a relationship even if I don't want to tell him. Bruce would tell me if something happens to him, but why can't I? Everytime I try and mention my dad, tears form in my eyes. Or I get nervous and start stuttering.

"If I tell you it might not make much sense." I say lowly but enough for him to hear.

"It'll probably make sense Honey." My face heats up a bit. He just now recently started calling me honey. I don't know why but it calmed me down I guess. And I hate to admit it but it makes me a bit flustered. I take a deep breath in.

"Okay so a couple days ago, Moose wanted me to bodyguard him or some shit but it was today, the day of your baseball game. So I told him no and to go to hell. I also told him to kill his self but I'm not gonna tell Bruce that. And then I blocked him. He then showed a pic of you kissing me and told me if I didn't he would show the whole school. And i didn't want everyone to hate you, but I also didn't want to miss your baseball game. And he was going to do something today, maybe at your baseball game. There's more to it but it'll make sense when I tell you the next part."

Bruce eyes widens. He takes both hands and places it on my cheeks.
"Vance, why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want you to worry. Plus, your baseball game was today and that would have thrown you off." I say.
He smiles at me and kisses one side of my cheeks.
"I don't care what people thinks of me Vance. And i'm pretty sure you don't either. All I care about is if your happy or not."
If I was one word at this moment, I would be amazed. I never expected this coming from Bruce. A person who washes his hair 5 times a day to get that sparkle glow. Someone to care about me enough to don't care being seen together. A person who just wishes the best for me.
