The One And Only Outsider

Chapter 5

Garnet's POV:

It's been about a week since the whole rooftop talk. I'm really liking having Micah as a friend. Yes, we're still friend. Even though we sorta kissed on the roof, we're still friends. We just wanna take things slow. We haven't kissed since then, but trust me. It's tempting. He's so sweet, and caring, and funny, and his eyes!! They're perfect and green and I could stare into them all day. Oh who am I kidding. I like Micah. A lot. But, I just don't know if he feels the same way. Half the time he acts as if we're a couple and the other half of the time we're no more than friends. I've gotten to the point where I'm so confused, that I'm thinking we're no more than friends. So for the time being, that's just how it's gonna be. No more than friends. I walked into the school. I made my way to my locker and opened it to grab my books. Justin came up behind me and turned me around, slamming me into the lockers next to mine. He pinned my arms up on the lockers. Here we go again.

Garnet: "What the hell do you want Justin?"

Justin: "Stay away from Micah."

Garnet: "What?"

Justin: "Stay the hell away from Micah. Or else."

I'm gonna taka a chance. Test my luck. Here we go.

Garnet: "...Or else, what?"

Justin took his hands from my wrists and wrapped them around my neck. He started to close them around my neck, getting tighter, and tighter. I started to choke and gasp for air. I tried to pry his hands from my neck. But he was too strong. My vision started to get blurry and I was getting dizzy. I kept gasping for air but I still could't get any air. Oxygen, that's all I wanted. Oxygen. Everything started to black. Then he let me go and stepped back. I fell the the ground coughing and gasping for air. I held my stomach and placed my hand on my chest. Breathing has never felt so good. I looked up, breathing heavily and saw Micah. He'd stepped in front of me.

Micah: "Hey, back the hell up man." Micah pushed Justin.

Justin fell back and came back on him

Justin: "Don't push me."

Justin pushed Micah back. They both had anger in their eyes. Soon they started to trow punches at each other, I stood up and went over to the fight. People were gathering around them. Once I reached the, I knew I had to stop it.

Garnet: "Hey! Hey! Guys stop it!"

I finally got to the middle of the crowd, where the guys were fighting. For a moment, all I could do was stare. Then, I came to my sense and tried to break up the fight.

Garnet: "Hey!" I tried to get between the two. "Hey!" I finally got between them, and started to push them apart. "KNOCK IT OFF!!" I pushed them away from each other. They both took a step back. Justin walked away, his posse following close behind. I turned to Micah, and stared at him. He had a cut next to his eye and his lip was busted. He breathed heavily as he looked in the direction Justin had walked off. I sighed.

Garnet: "Come on."

I grabbed Micah's hand and led him to the nurse's office. I slowly opened the door to make sure no one was in there. I poked my head in and searched the room. No one. I pulled Micah in and shut the door behind us, locking it. Micah sat on one of the beds and looked down at the floor. I rolled up the sleeves to my long sleeved shirt and went through the cabinets. I found a wash rag, q-tips, Neosporin, and some liquid in a small bottle. I took the stuff over to the table next to the bed Micah was sitting on.

Garnet: "Micah, what the hell were you thinking?"

I took the rag over to the sink and poured water over it. Then I squeezed the water out and took it back over to the bed. I grabbed a stool on my way over. I sat on the stool and held Micah's head up. I looked at the blood coming form his cuts.

Garnet: "Well?" Micah sighed. As he spoke, I dabbed the blood form his face.

Micah: "He was hurting you, Garnet. He could have killed you."

I was silent. He was right. In those moments, Justin had the ability too kill me. Take my life. Remove me form this world. Suck the life right out of me. I kept to what I was doing. Trying to keep myself busy. I sighed.

Garnet: "I know." I said quietly, almost in a whisper. Once I'd cleaned up the blood, I put some of the liquid on a q-tip. I held up Micah's head by his chin again. I slowly, and gently started to rub the q-tip across the cut next to his eye.

Micah: "Ouch!"

Garnet: "Micah, I know that you were trying to help me. But you can't just go around trying to fight him evrytime he touches me." I continues to rub the q-tip over his cut.

Micah: "I just can't...ouch...stand to see him....ouch...hurt you like that...OUCH!" I stopped rubbing his cut.

Garnet: "Ok, look. I know it stings but you got yourself into this. And now, your gonna have to let me help you out of it. Hold still." I took his chin in my hand again and finished rubbing the q-tip over the cut. "There." I took the Neosporin and rubbed some on his cut. After doing so, I out all of the stuff up, washed my hands, pulled down my sleeves, and returned to whee Micah was sitting.

Micah: "Thanks."

Garent: "No problem. It's the least I could do after you got into a fight just to save my ass."

We both smiled and laughed. Micah pulled me onto his lap. I sat and looked into his eyes. He held his hands around my waist.

Micah: "I did it for you."

Garnet: "I know. Thanks."

Micah: "Anytime."

I smiled and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Just as a thank you for saving my ass. We are still just friends. Like I said no more, no less. I got up, and we headed to class. After school, Micah and I went to the nursing home and visited my grandmother. After that we went to my house and just hung out. I really was glad that Micah was there to help me. I know that non of the others present would've stopped him. They would've just watched, to see if I could make it out alive. Then there's Micah. He's not like all the others. He actually cares about me, helps me, protects me. and for that I'm so grateful. I honestly don't think I'd be alive right now. What would I do without him?

Justin's POV:

Ok, look. I know I went too far today but what was I supposed to do?! I'll admit it. I love her. I'm no love with Garnet. She's absolutely amazing. Gorgeous! And I can't stand to see her with Micah. It just kills me. To know she likes someone else. I have to get them apart. The way he touches he, talks to her, makes her laugh and open up. I want all those things. I want to be hers and for her to be mine. I know I seem a little harsh towards her. Even though I say I love her. Tough love right? Either way, I've gotta tear them apart. One way...or another.
