Marcel Styles [ON HOLD]

I Promise

~A/N One shot for Unloveable Tales!!! :D

------------------------------------------

As one of the popular kids at school, I had a reputation to keep up. I saw my friend Marcel, then my friends started to talk trash about him.

"He's such a nerd." They mocked.

"No he's not, leave him alone." I defended.

"Why do you bother with him? You're such a loser."

I clenched my jaw, then we discussed the party that we were going to. At the party we drank a lot and just did what we wanted to have a good time, but when I got home, my mother noticed that I was drunk and grounded me.

***

"Come on, Lou, come to the party tonight." My popular friends coaxed.

"I can't, I'm grounded."

"Ugh, what a killjoy."

The left me at my locker and I went home and headed straight for my room before crying into my pillow as my depression overcame me. There was a knock on my window, then I looked up and saw my true best friend, Marcel Styles, standing there with a smile. I let him in, then crawled back into bed.

"What's wrong, Lou?"

"I'm such a loser and a waste of space." I sobbed.

"Your depression?" I quietly asked.

"No, I'm just stupid and nobody cares! I should just kill myself!"

He gathered me up in his arms as I cried and rubbed my back.

"Don't say that, Lou. I care about you, you're stupid, you're not a lower, and you're not a waste."

"You're just saying that."

"I'm not, I do genuinely care about you. If I didn't, would I be here right now?"

"I...I guess you have a point."

"You know I do."

"I'm just so scared... of myself."

"Don't be, I'm here to protect you and keep you safe." He said.

"Thank you."

He kissed my head, then I started to get tired.

"Can you hold me until I fall asleep?"

"Okay." He gently said.

I slowly fell asleep as he sang to me, but before I drifted off into dreamland, I looked at him.

"Marcel?"

"Hm?"

"Promise me you'll always be there for me?"

"I promise.'
