HIIIIII!!!!! ☺️ So the above choker on her neck with the ying/yang is the one that Lilac wears/mentions throughout the story! Hope you enjoy!

A/N I want to make this enjoyable so if you have ANY ideas please do tell!

Lilac's POV

"-and that is why you shouldn't have unprotected sex"

And that's the last thing Mrs. Rods on tells us before the bell rings, cutting her off. Grabbing my things, I'm the last to leave my class. Trying not to bump into anyone, I take out my schedule to see what my next class is. Next thing I know I'm harshly shoved and pushed up against a locker, my head colliding first thing.

"You're disgusting, you fag" I hear, though I keep my head down not wanting them to see my tears that are ready to fall any second now.

Stay strong Lilac. They want to get a reaction out of you.

"Leave me alone!" I yell nervously, trying to shove the mystery boy away though he easily blocks my weak hits. "I haven't done anything to you!" I whimper, feeling a blow to my stomach as the guy holding me punches me right in the nose.

"So what? We don't appreciate gays here! This is a fag-free school!" the boy next to the guy pinning me up exclaims.

Lucas's POV

"So what? We don't appreciate gays here! This is a fag-free school!"

That's the first thing I hear when I get to the hallway, Mrs. Blow's hall pass on my pocket. Turning the corner, I see Josh Anderson and Michael Thomas near the lockers, the new boy terrified and pinned. Of course the schools bullied had to ruin the poor kids first day here.

"Then I guess I'll just have to teach homophobes like you to learn to start accepting us" I say darkly, their faces draining when they turn to meet me.

"H-Hey there Lu-Lucas! We di-didn't see you there!" Josh stutters out releasing the new boy from his hold, making him drop to the floor and wince in pain.

"Obviously or you would've known how bad I'd beat the crap out of you" I glare taking one step forward, and they take two steps back. "If you enjoy your balls the way they currently are, I suggest you leave before it's too late" I threaten and they run off.

Hearing the small sniffles, I remember what just happened and walk over to the petite boy, my heart feeling pained when he curls up and shields himself from me.

"Are you okay?" I ask softly, slowly making my way onto the floor and sitting down criss-cross with a good 3 feet between us. "I'm such a dumbass, obviously you're not okay" I groan to myself and he giggles gently. "Did they do much to you?"

Lilac

"U-Um, no" I shyly shake my head, not trusting the handsome stranger sitting in front of me. "My no-nose and side hurt tho-though" I stutter out and he nods, before getting up.

"Is it okay if I take you to the nurse?" he asks after a little while of silence. "I know you don't know me, but can you trust me for just one small little minute to walk you to go get some help?" he asks, and I can hear the small begging in his voice to help me. I nod, rubbing my arm and he helps me up.

      "So what's your name stranger?" he says breaking the ice as we make our way to the office.

I whisper it out hoping it wasn't loud enough for him to hear. I've had my head down the entire time. The bullies at my old school use to get angry if I made eye contact, and I don't plan on looking up anytime soon. The things they did to me were so inhuman and cruel! Locking me in the janitors closets, dumping my food on me, stealing my P.E clothes so I'd have to walk around and be humiliated as they video taped me.

Next thing I know, I'm gasping for air as I fall to my knees. All the memories and pain come back to me at once, making the experience surreal. "NO!" I scream out, tugging at my hair and kicking around me. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" I whimper shaking my head, as if it would shake away the pain but nothing's happening.

  Lucas

My eyes widen as I see him experiencing a panic attack right in front of me. I fall to my knees, sitting next to him as I try to control his thrashing.

"IM SO SORRY!!" he sobs out as if speaking to someone in front of him. He keeps repeating it until, after a little bit he stops and all goes quiet in the hallway around us. Then...he covers his face and the tears start to fall.

"Hey" I whisper softly pulling him to me, once I know it's safe and he's calmed down. The most important thing I've learned from my sister's past attack so is that they need their space. "It's okay. You're safe now" I run my hand through his hair, placing him on my lap as he clutched my shirt.

"I got you, no one can hurt you anymore baby" I soothe holding his small figure to me, softly rocking him. I never thought I'd ever see myself doing something like this, but for now everything is put aside. Everyone's thoughts, my reputation, everything. 

"I'm just so sad" he sniffles out and the heart I never knew I had just breaks.

"Then I'll make it a promise that from this day on you will never be sad ever again" I put out my pinky as I speak, showing him I'm serious about this promise. Although he was hesitant, after a few seconds he brings out his thin little pinky and interlinked it with mine.

"Please don't betray me" he lifts his head from my tear stained shirt to look up at me. His red eyes and battered face show nothing but sadness and pain.

In that moment, I wanted nothing more from that day on then to make sure he was always protected. I just had so many questions!

Who made you feel this way?

Did your sister not know this was happening?

If not, where was she this whole time?

"Lilac" he whispers and I break thought to look at him. "My name is Lilac" he smiles softly for the first time today.
