I was out with this boy, Daniel.
We were outside in town laughing.
"Who is that man checking you out?" I looked to see who he was talking about. I saw a guy staring a little while walking down the street. "I don't know?" "Don't lie Doll" He had, had a few drinks.
"I don't know him, Let's just keep walking ok" "Why does he keep checking you out than!?" "I don't know?" "I'll show him if he keeps checking out my girl!" "Daniel it's fine! Your overreacting!"
"No it's not fine? How do you know him huh?" He grabs my wrist. "I don't okay!" "Tell me!" He grabs harder. "Daniel let go!"
"HEY! Let go of her Pal and go home!" "What did you say?" He lets go.
"Go home man," I turn to see Dal walking down the street with his pocket knife. "Or what?" "Or you won't be going home in one piece" He sticks the pocket knife out to Daniel.
"Dal, it's fine"
"Whatever" Daniel gets in his car and drives away.
"You good?" "Yeah, Thanks" I smile at him. "Y/N your wrist is all bruised" "It's fine, I'll ice it when I get home"
"My homes closer, let me help" "I got it Dal, Thanks though" "Okay.. Goodnight, Be safe alright" "I know, Thanks"
-------------------------------------------
I saw Dal a few days after that.
I had just had another heated argument with Daniel. I looked over to see him walk off the Curtis porch.
"Glad I was here" "What do you mean? " "So he didn't hurt you. And I could of protected you" "Protected me?" I laugh a little.
""Is your wrist alright?" He gently grabs my wrist to look at it.
"Yeah.." "What's wrong?" "Nothing.." He lifts my head to look at him. "It's just.."
"What?" "We're not together anymore Dal,.." "So? What's that have to do with me watching out for you?" "That's it. I don't need you to. We broke up so I don't need you to be watching over me like I'm 3"
"I know.." "Why do you still care about me?" "Because I miss us" "That's ironic" "How?"
"We broke up because you weren't good with love" "I've changed" "Good" "C'mon y/n. Don't be like that" "Like what? I don't wanna fall into your trap again" "My trap?" "I don't wanna fall in love with someone who can't again.. Dal"
"I'm sorry.. But I'm ready" "Ready? For what?" "To give love another try" "Who says I am?" "I know you y/n.. I know what and who you want. Follow your heart"
"Dally.." He leans in slowly and gently kisses me. "The heart wants what it wants, And if mine want's you I'm okay with that but are you?"
"Yeah.." I smile
