Me and my overprotective best friend

Hangout-part 1

I was at my locker grabbing the last of my stuff to go home, and I was about to close my locker when a hand slammed it shut it was Bryan, my bully, he was a jerk "Hey freak!" he smugly said I had a look of anger on my face, I was about to say something when the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and chills ran down my spine, my body tensed up and I was hugging my books "What. did you just say." said a deep voice from behind me

Bryan shook in fear and scurried off, then I felt hands placed on my shoulders, I turned around is saw Austin my very overprotective best friend, my body eased as I saw his bright smile as he pulled me in for a hug-like he always does after dealing with Bryan.
"Hiya!" his voice changed to a slightly less deep tone to a happy-pitched one

My face turned a little pink "H-Hello" I managed to say after a while, he meant back so there was space between us, he messed up my hair a little and grabbed my hand as we started walking out of school "I let his hand go for a few seconds to put my books in my bag. He frowned until I was done putting my books away and he could grab my hand once again

After a bit of walking, his face turned from a happy and bright one to a confused one as he brought my hand up slightly looking down at it. He then looked at me."why are your hands so cold?" he looked at me as he started to rub his hands against mine trying to warm it. He then placed my hand in his pocket still holding it.

I looked down in embarrassment as thoughts rushed through my mind. I decided to ignore them. I've always liked Austin a bit more than just friends...but I don't want to ruin our friendship so I keep my mouth shut and hide the feelings I have for him.

I take a deep breath and my face goes back to normal. No pink in sight. "Hey dove?" he looks at me with a smile "You know that's not my name Austin!" I say in a joking mad tone. He laughs "But that's what it means right?" he points his finger at me with his thumb sticking up and winks at me. He always jokingly flirts with me. "Anyways, would you like to hang out today?" I nod my head and he gives me a bright toothy smile I can't help but giggle a little.

A few minutes after talking we arrived at Austin's house, I looked up at him a bit confused "I need to change? I thought we were heading to my place then to your place?" he looked at me with a grin and opened the door.

As I stepped in someone jumped on me hugging me making us both fall the the ground with a thud "Ow.." I whisper as I look at the figure that pushed me down with a hug. It was Austin's sister. I was dating her I have been for almost 4 months now. She kissed me on the cheek.

Suddenly she was dragged off me by Austin he looked kinda of jealous, but I took no notice of it. He helped me up, and his sister Emily was pouting "Hey! Hands of a brother! He's my boyfriend!" she grabbed me and pulled me to her "HEY!" I yelled at both of them "STOP DRAGGING ME AROUND IT HURTS!" I frown and drag them both inside. Still with a mad look on my face, I hugged Emily and waved at his two brothers Ethan who was 7, and he loved me. And Aidan his older brother was now 21, Austin was 18 and I was 17. Aidan nodded at me and I grabbed Austin by his wrist dragged him to his room and shut the door.

I crossed my arms and looked away from him. He pouted and got changed in the bathroom. I took a couple of deep breaths and sat down on his spiny chair put my face in my hands and groaned a little.

I can't stand Emily sometimes, she can be so clingy and I never kiss her and only let her kiss me on the cheek, she thinks it's because I'm shy but I just don't feel right kissing her I think so more about what I'm gonna do about this, I feel a sudden tap on my shoulder, I jump up and trip on the leg of the chair.

He catches me as I shut my eyes tight gripping onto his arms. He slowly and carefully lifts me so my feet are just above the ground and he places me back down gently, not saying a word.

I don't let go of him and slowly open my eyes. He still says nothing and goes to let me go but I grip tighter onto his clothes and place my head on his chest. He smirks and hugs me tightly, I hug him back.

"I'm sorry.." I whispered "I just got so annoyed at Emily for always shoving me around... It hurts and I always get bruises...I didn't mean to take it out on you.." I looked up at him, and he was smirking "You need to be cherished and protected. You are too clumsy and fragile for this world" he messed up my hair gently and I giggled slightly. Then my expression turns to a sad one "What's wrong dove?" Austin stepped back a bit

I placed my right hand on my left arm "I don't think I like your sister like she likes me.." I say in kind of a whisper, he looks confused and kinda relieved. I look up at him. He was gonna say something when the door swung open...
