Be good for me

Girlfriend?

I could look into his eyes all day. They were beautiful the kind that you could forever get lost in. When I look into them I see who he really is and that doesn't make me fear what's on the outside. Sometimes I get lost in his eyes and never want to be found.
But I'd eventually have to.

"You okay there?" Michael chucked and I could feel the heat rise to my cheeks "ya" he grabbed my hand "you seemed spaced out" the minute he smiled I lost myself again.

"Tessa?" He snapped me out "sorry I'm just zoned out" he smirked "that's okay" and there it was again his smile.

Something I saw for the first time.

And to ruin that moment Ana called "what!" I sighed and I heard giggles "are you with Michael?" She laughed "ya" I looked at him knowing this time I could say yes "why!" She screamed Michael cringed "because I'm his friend" it felt weird saying that "ugh Tessa enough you can't be around him he'll hurt you" and I scoffed "I'm sorry hurt me? You meant the way you do? Ya I don't need you" I hung up "Ana?" he asked and I nodded annoyed "she wanted to tell me shit about you" he looked at my phone "again?" I felt sick

"Yep" I then felt hot "listen Michael I gotta go in not feeling well can we hang out later?" He nodded slowly and I left clutching my stomach what's wrong with me?

Skip to the next week

I sat in my chair looking at the roof

Michael was being distant as normal he didn't wave to me or talk to me and I began thinking maybe he's just sick but that wasn't it because I saw him then I thought maybe he's upset but that wasn't it because he didn't seem upset he smiled at other people and then I thought maybe it's me and I knew it was.

And I stared to realize that Michael was my shield. When he was around me nobody bothered me and then the moment they see me alone I get hurt.

"Hey Tessa Michael here to protect you?" David came up to me "why do you care?" Michael gave me confidence so I wasn't a worm when boys talked to me and "I don't but you should" he smirked and I got scarred

"so your sister tells me that you've been a bitch" oh god please no

"She told me you weren't listening to her when she was telling you something....now in my case that's rude" he scowled. I got up and tried to run but he pushed me to the ground "you ain't going anywhere" he grabbed my hair and pulled me up and shot me back down

"Hey asshole do you want to stop hurting my girlfriend because I kinda want to beat the shit out of you" Michael came out girlfriend? I blushed at the name "you're girlfriend?" David widened his eyes then they went dark

"Wow Tessa never would I have thought a prude like you to have gotten Michael Clifford" he smirked and pulled my hair harder "fuck!" I screamed "I'm gonna give you to the count of 3 to let her go" Michaels eyes went dark "and what if I don't?" David's voice icy "you won't live to find out" Michaels voice went icy and deep.

"1..." He didn't let go

"2....." Grip got tighter

"....3" and he dropped me scrambling to me feet I rushed behind Michael

David muttered something and walked over to Michael but Michael punched him in the face causing him to fall

I let out the breath I didn't realize I was holding in "you okay?" He turned around I nodded fast "thanks"

"Don't mention it" wait he called me his girlfriend

"Michael?"

"Ya?"

"Why did you say I'm your girlfriend"

And he shrugged "that way he won't hurt you"

And in that moment I knew that Michael Clifford was more than just a friend to me.
