I have no warnings apart from a bit of violence.

Far to sweet...

______________________________________

Tara was too sweet for her own good.
She had sympathy for everyone, the angry teachers and the weird 8th graders and the kids that bullied her. She would let anyone do anything if it meant that it made them feel better.

I am not sweet.
I hate everyone apart from Tara. I refuse to listen to the angry teachers and I trip up the weird 8th graders and I used to bully her.
And she let me do it because it made me feel better.

In reality, I hated being mean to her, it was an outlet for my anger, but then I fell in love with her. I didn't mean too, I swear, but her pig tails grew on me. And her cute glasses made me see my own reflection. Her freckles were beautiful and I actually love how short she is.
ALL of the things I teased her for are the reasons I fell I love with her.

But today was something else.

Our relationship so far has been very downlow. We haven't been hiding it but we just don't show it off. This means that the other kids that bully her don't know we are together because they don't have the same lunch period as Tara and I. This is the reason that Jenson green had a mangled face and only one shoe to walk home in.

It's the end of the day and I walked down the hallway towards Tara so I can drive us back to my apartment, when jenson put his hand on my chest and said "wait here and watch this."
I stood still wait in for him to do something stupid to a random kid but when he made a b-line for Tara, my body went hot with anger and my feet automatically moved towards him.
Jenson threw Tara to the ground by her backpack straps and took her books out of her arms and began to rip the pages from the spine.

Tara's eyes began to water and her breathing quickened as she backed her self up against the lockers while Jenson towered over her with a stupid smile sat upon his ugly mug.

I dropped my bag off my shoulders and the bottom of my foot colided with the side of his face, he hits the ground and tried to shout at me, my knuckles already lodged into his jaw, shutting him up before he could get anything out.
I put him in a headlock and sat behind him, trapping one of his legs between mine, one of his Jordans slipping off in the process.

"If you ever, ever touch my girl again, I'll rip your fucking throat out and feed it to your dog, then, I'll cut your ears off and knock your teeth out with a hammer."

His face was becoming a darker shade of red and he doesn't answer me.
I stand up with his head still stuck in between my elbow, putting more strain on his neck.
He was now going purple.

"Alright I'm sorry. I won't bother her again." He said while crackling for breath.

I let him go, he runs towards his friends and they walk out of the door. With one shoe.

I walk over to Tara and pick her up off the floor by her waist. I dust her off and fix her hair while looking down at her body to make sure she is alright.
"Lets go home my love."
"But what about my book leigh?" She asked me, her voice wavering and her hands shaking.
"I'll buy you a new one, T. Don't you worry about that."

We got back to my place and we got changed into comfy clothes to snuggle up in.
Eventhough Tara has her own wardrobe here since it's my own apartment, she always steals my stuff.
She had put on some grey joggers along with a black hoodie with my name along the fabric, 'Leighton' in bold on the back.

We cambered into bed and I lay on my back so that she can curl up into me.

Tara has a few hours after something bad happened of wanting to be mothered and taken care off. I put her pigtails back in her hair and opened my legs for her to lay between, she wraps her arms around my waist and put her head on my chest. My fingers scratching the bottom of her head by her neck.

"Thank you for standing up for me, ma."

"Anytime time sweetheart, I'd hunt him down for you. You're my little Tara and I'll die on a hill protecting and loving you."
Her breathing evened out as she barley muttered an 'I love you' to me.

I sat and played with her hair and mumble nonsense to nobody, this is my girl that I have in my arms and I'm not going to loose her.

You are too sweet for this world my darling...
