New York

Chapter 3

After we took a shower we got dressed and ready for school. I put my hair in wavy curls that flowed down my back and put my makeup on. Tyler apparently had everything in his car. I see him in the doorway facing outside with his phone to his ear. I smirk and jump onto his back and place gentle kisses onto his left cheek. He stumbles a little before regaining his balance. He chuckles and places his free hand under my thigh to keep me in place.

                "Yeah, ill take care of it. Don't worry...I stayed with my girl last night so that would be why I never came home...yup later man." He hangs up the phone and shoves it in his pocket. He places his other hand under my thigh as well and heads for his car.

                "Your girl?" I question him as he makes his way. I smile and tighten my legs around his hips so I don't fall.

                He sets me down next to the car and pulls me to him. "Yes my girl. You are mine Luka and I am going to protect you." He says loud enough to people that are around to hear. I roll my eyes but smile up at him anyway.

                We head to school in his car. He keeps his hand in my hand as he drives. I sigh in contentment as we pull into the school parking lot. He parks in his normal spot closest to the school.

"You okay?" his voice holds concern as students stop and stare.

"Yeah, I'm good." I smile as he smiles in return. We get out of the car and as soon as our feet touch the ground people's attention is focused on us. I slightly shake my head. I knew people were going to assume things but i didn't think they would act this concerned.

As we walk towards the building, Tyler sneaks an arm around my waist. I watch everyone's eyes watch as he places a kiss on my temple and smirks. I smile up at him and see he slipped his shades and leather jacket on.

We almost made it inside the building when the schools queen bee, Jessica stops in front of us.

"Tyler! I'm so glad you're out babe. I missed you!" Her 5'7 frame is a lot taller than mine. She has medium length brunette hair and chocolate brown eyes. She's pretty but her attitude throws everyone off.

"Um Jessica..." she cuts me off with a glare. She grabs his other arm and flirts with her eyes and body posture. He goes to shake her off and tightens his grip around my waist.

"He's with me. Bye hun." I give a small sarcastic wave and watch her face go from a constipated flirty look to pure anger.

"Tyler when you leave her, come over and we'll catch up." She blows him a kiss and walks away with too much sway to her hips.

"Awe, someones jealous." He smirks and sends a playful wink down to me.

I give a slight nod. "I'm just giving it to her straight. Like you said earlier, you're mine and don't ever doubt that." I feel him stop and then I'm pulled into his chest. I wrap my arms around his torso and lay my head onto his chest. Tyler nuzzles his face into my hair and kisses my head with her arms wrapped around my shoulders.

Someone coughs and it breaks us up. I see Layla and Shay standing there with a smile as big as the chastisers cats. "What is this about? You just said yesterday it wasn't what I thought?" She laughs and nudges Layla.

"Well give me some time to explain" I grin and look at Tyler. He has an unreadable look on his face as he looks beyond Shay and Layla. I pop my hip into his and look at him with a questioning look. He shakes his head and smiles but it wasn't his normal smile, it looked forced. I dismiss the girls and take him over to the lockers. He leans against them as I open my locker.

"I have business to take care of before class. I don't want you seeing it either so I need you to go into the class room and stay low. Please don't leave that room okay?" His voice stops my movements.

I turn and look at him. "Are you serious? In school?" my voice is laced with worry and frustration.

He gathers me into his arms and holds me close to his body. He sighs and says "I'm sorry. I got to do this for the sake of my business. I know you don't understand and I pray to God you never do."

I nod and lean up. I press my lips to his cheek and he gives me a small smile. I pull away and he moves me into a classroom. He nods to the teacher and he pulls me behind him. of course, he has already talked to the teachers in the school about him and his ways.

I watch his body retreat back into the hallway. My heart picks up speed and I pace the room. The teacher sighs and mumbles something about this never ending. I stop and look at him. He looks back and shakes his head not willing to repeat himself or maybe just not wanting to explain what he means to me.

I hear yelling and the banging of the lockers. I recognized Tyler's voice and then the yelling stopped. The sound of a gun went off and painful scream filled the air.
