Mikey's pov

"Good job on your game today," I congratulated as I ran up to Pete. "Thank you," he smiled as he quickly packed up his stuff in his locker. I used a small handkerchief to wipe his sweat as he kissed my forehead. "I'll meet you in the cafeteria okay?" "Okie," I smiled as I turned around to leave. I made my way to the cafeteria as I waited in line for food. "Yo fag," someone nudged me, their friends chuckling. I sighed as I tried my best to ignore them and took my lunch tray. "Thank you," I mumbled to the lunch lady before walking away, but someone tripped me. I screamed as my head hit the floor, dropping my food and making a mess. My vision immediately went blurry as my glasses fell off, and I watched in horror as it went out of reach. I could hear laughter as I tried to get up and grab it before running, but someone kicked me back down and picked it up. I looked up to see the popular guys, one of which was wearing my glasses and mocking me. I covered my face and head with one arm while the other hugged my stomach. I was too weak to even stand a chance against them, and I just let it happen as everyone around me chanted for us to fight. I could feel tears streaming down my face as they beat the shit out of me, my head spinning and my ears ringing. Everything began to sound out as the sound of my ears ringing got louder and louder, and the last thing I remembered hearing was a familiar voice shouting "HEY!".

I forced myself to open my eyes as I looked around. Everything was so blurry and I felt so dizzy, my head as heavy as a brick. I could feel the pain spread all throughout my body as I tried to sit up, but someone gently pushed me back down, "Woah, easy there. Just rest okay?" "..Pete?" "Yes Mikey?" I reached my hand out as he placed it on his cheek. I rubbed my eyes with my free hand as he held my hand. "W..What happened?" "You were getting beat up in the cafeteria by a group of guys. I'm sorry I couldn't save you in time.. I-I came too late and you were already passed out.. I'm sorry," his voice softened as he held my hand. I cupped his face with one hand as I looked at the bruises on his face. "Are you okay?" "Don't worry about me, just focus on yourself for now okay?" "I'm sorry.." I could feel myself on the verge of tears. I sniffled as I shed a tear, causing Pete to panic. "W-What's wrong?!" "Nono it's just.. I didn't want you to get hurt because of me.." "but they were hurting you-" I cut him off by shushing him, and his gaze softened. "I'm sorry for dragging you into this.." "Don't be, I chose to step in," he kissed my cheek as he helped me sit up. I gulped, seeing the amount of bandages and bandaids on my body. I opened my arms as Pete hugged me, shoving his head into my shoulder.

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.." he kissed my cheek, his voice shaky. I kissed him back as I assured him I was fine, cupping his face. I rubbed his cheek as he looked down at his knuckles. I could feel my heart drop, seeing how red they were. I took his hand gently in mine as I kissed all around, not wanting to hurt him more. He sniffled as he looked around before handing me a small box. I looked up at him and down at the box as he signalled to open it. Confused, I carefully did so, and my eyes widened as I realized they were my glasses. The lens had been smashed, meaning I had to get new ones. He began apologising profusely and saying that he really tried his best to retrieve it, but I just broke down crying. I covered my face with my palm as I sobbed, feeling him wrap his arms around me. He held me tight as I cried uncontrollably. He offered to pay for them, but it wasn't even about the money. He was talking to me, but I didn't even care to hear a single word and cut him off, "I'm going back to our dorm." I winced as I hugged my stomach, Pete quickly standing up and supporting me. He helped me back to our dorm as I gripped onto the box tightly.

I laid in my bed as I stared at the wall blankly. "I'll just leave some money on your bedside table so you can get new ones.. okay?" "It's not about the money, Pete. No amount of money can fix it." "Why not?" I scoffed. "BECAUSE IT WAS ONE OF THE LAST FEW THINGS MY GRANDMOTHER LEFT ME BEFORE SHE DIED. AND I VOWED TO KEEP IT SAFE." I screamed angrily. I regretted my words immediately, but was too mad to say anything. A moment of silence washed over us, neither of us knowing what to do or say. "..I'll leave you alone for now. Just try and get some rest okay..?" He said in a soft voice. I could see tears welling up in his eyes as he looked down and left. I stared at the broken glasses as angry tears streamed down my face. I shut my eyes as I thought of my grandmother. She helped to fix my glasses when it broke it half last time by using tape, and every other time I got bullied she was there for me. I swore to keep it safe, and I'd been able to keep that promise until today. She also left me money so I could go to college and be able to pay for it without fear of going in student debt, but I just get bullied here. I miss her. I wiped away my tears as I put it back inside the box, holding it close to me as I slowly fell asleep.

When I woke up, there was a note on my table. I groaned as I sat up, my body still aching slightly. I picked it up as it read "I'm really sorry about your Grandmother and I feel horrible about not being able to save you or your glasses sooner. I understand if you're angry with me, but if there's anything I can do to make up for it, please lmk. I love you. -Petey" I sighed as I heard the door open. I looked up to see Pete poke his head inside. I signalled for him to come in as he sat down next to me, hugging him tightly. He cupped my face as he examined it, looking down. My eyes were puffy from crying probably, and he hugged me tightly. "You're.. not mad at me anymore.?" "I'm sorry for even raising my voice at you I.. I was angry. You didn't do anything wrong, so don't blame yourself okay? I'm sorry," "If anything, I should be the one apologising. I'm really sorry, and I'll happily bring you to try and get new lenses if that's possible?" I looked over at the money he'd left earlier, not really wanting to spend his money. "I-It's gonna be really expensive-" "Don't you worry about that okay? I'll take care of it and you, and I promise. I'll stay by your side forever, and I'm never gonna leave you alone ever again. I love you Mikey," "I love you too, Petey."
