"Well um..not to be rude, but why are you so awkward and quiet?" I say slightly squirming in my seat.
"I used to talk a lot..but then some things happen and I guess I sort of lost the reason to socialize with other people." He says running a hand through his hair. I laugh "I'm guessing you and Cadence get along just fine then?" I say jokingly.
He sighs and says "not quite..she doesn't speak to me. Or anyone really. Quite shocking that she actually chose to speak to you after we forced her to the first time."
And then afterwards we just talk. He's easy to talk to and not in like a "oh gosh I'm in loveee" way more like in the "we homies" way. Once we get to school I smile at him and mess up his hair "I may have misjudged you."
He groans fixing his hair "wish I could say the same." I hear him grumble behind me and laugh. Later on I see Kai and run up and I hug him really tight. He laughs and hugs me back. "Hey there loser." He says jokingly. I smile "pretty good what about you dork face?" I say smirking. He narrows his eyes at me and I feel my own widen.
And before I know it I'm being throw over his shoulder. "Yayy piggyback ride!!" I screech. He laughs and sets me down then gasps seeing my cheek. Aw fuck. Fuck. Damn it.
He gently touches it and I close my eyes not letting the tears resurface. "Baby girl, what happen?" I shake my head still looking down. He looks at it closely and I can tell he see's the handprint now. "Who did this?" He demands his temper starting to rise. I shake my head again feeling the tears become harder to hold back.
"I'll ask once again. Who. Did. This." He says in a tone that's quite terrifying. But I can't let him him and I feel my tears fall and I break down sobbing once again and he sees and instead of his angry pacing he sighs and walks over to me and hugs me. I cry harder. "Don't worry baby no one will ever hurt you while you're in my arms. Hell, no ones ever going to hurt you period. As long as I'm around to prevent it I can, and I fucking will." He mumbles against my hair.
I feel my heart flutter at the word "baby". I instantly believe him without a doubt. Just because the feeling of being in his arms makes me feel like nothing would ever hurt me.
