Maiah's POV
I woke up with Vic sleeping in my arms. I kissed his forehead before looking at the clock. It read 4:24. I sighed, and closed my eyes. I felt a movement and opened my eyes. Vic was talking to himself. "Leaaave her aallloooonnnee" "don't come neeeaarrr her" a drip of sweat came down his face. I wiped it off and whispered his name in his ear causing him to wake up.
"Why did you let him do that to you?" He asked me.
"Babe that was a dream. I wouldn't go to Matt, or let him touch me if he was the last person on earth. I love you and not him. Okay?" I told him.
"Thank god that was a dream. Okay thank you babe. I love you."
"I love you too. Go back to sleep." I said.
"No. I want to talk to you." He whined
"Okay." I leaned in and kissed his cheek.
"I'm really nervous about today. I don't want to see Matt. I'm scared he'll try to hurt you, and kiss you again. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if that happened." He said sounding scared.
"Don't worry babe. I'll never leave you. We can go I'm the unisex bathroom if you want to. Just so he doesn't follow me into the girls." He nodded and smiled.
"Okay. Sounds good." We shared smiles. I looked into his eyes and it showed that he was scared. I stroked his face with my hand, and he held my head in his hand. He leaned in and kissed me. We sat there for awhile kissing and then we broke it and I pressed my forehead to his.
"I love you Vic. Don't forget that."
"I won't. Don't forget that you're mine. I will do everything and anything to keep you safe." That made me smile.
"Trust me. I wouldn't want it any other way." He smiled and kissed me before I laid on his chest, falling asleep.

"Vic? Are you okay? You're shaking." I asked as we walked into school.
"Y-yeah. I'm just a little nervous." He replied.
"A little? Babe you've been shaking all morning. It'll be fine. Just stay by me."
"Okay." He held my hand tighter as we walked to get our schedules.
We didn't have any classes together. My heart sank.
"Come here." He pulled me into the office.
"Yes?" The lady behind the counter asked
"I need to get my schedule changed to match hers EXACTLY. If we don't then we'll lose our minds and she'll get hurt. Please." He told her and she nodded her head.
"Okay. No biggie. What are your names?" She asked us.
"I'm Victor Fuentes and this is Maiah..." I never told him my last name. Shit.
"Crosby." I answered for him. He mouthed out 'thank you' and I nodded.
"Okay. You two have the exact same classes. Just tell the teachers that we changed it when you get there, Victor." She said. Vic nodded and we walked out of there.
"I'm sorry I didn't know your last name. You just never told me." He confessed.
"Don't worry about it, babe. It's not your fault. I love you!" I hugged him and he wrapped his arms around me as we hugged. I breathed in his scent, and It calmed my nerves. We pulled away and I kissed his nose and we walked to class. He looked nervous, so I grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze. He looked at me and smiled. We walked in the class, and took two seats next to each other. We took online roll, and luckily Vic was on the list. Math was really boring, and we literally ran out of the room. We walked into biology, to see Matt sitting next to a girl with bleach blond hair. He was kissing her cheek and I ignored him. He seen us and went back to the girl. Vic shot him a death glare, and we sat down. When class was over, I was walking out the door and Matt tripped me, making me fall on my face. Vic pushed him, and the teacher saw and gave him detention. I had to get detention too or else Matt would try to attack me after school. I pushed Matt and I got detention too. Vic helped me up and we walked to lunch.
"Thank you." He said as we entered the cafeteria.
"For?" I asked looking him in the eye.
"Getting detention with me."
"Oh. No problem. I didn't want you to get nervous." I said kissing his cheek.
We got food and sat down. I held his hand all lunch so he wouldn't freak out. He wouldn't stop shaking.
"Babe? Are you sure you're okay? You haven't stopped shaking since we got here." I asked and he squeezed my hand tighter.
"Yeah. I'm fine. I'm just... Never mind." He replied.
"Baby you can tell me anything. Come on what's up?" I asked getting more worried.
"I'm just really nervous. I feel like people are going to make fun of me again and it's going to get to me and I'll cut again. I don't want to disappoint you or make you ashamed. I'm scared that if I cut I'll lose you. I don't want that to hap-" I cut him off. I kissed his lips for a brief second. I didn't want him to worry.
"Babe. Don't worry. You would never disappoint me. If you need to cut, come to me. I want to help you. Trust me, baby. I won't ever be ashamed of you. I'm proud." I said hugging him extra tight.
"How could you be proud of me? I'm a monster." He covered his face with his hands.
"Vic. You helped me and comforted me and you were there when I needed you. You stood up for me when I couldn't do anything. I love you for you Vic. You aren't a monster. You're special. With out you there is no me." I said hugging him even tighter. He took his hands off his face and wrapped them around me. We never let go until the bell. After that we held hands.
We walked in to interior design, that I was really excited for. But Vic was still really nervous. I held his hand even tighter. He didn't shake as much as before, thankfully. We got a homework assignment and got out of there. We turned to go down a hallway, when we came face to face with Matt.
