Bullied Love.

At home.

"Alright Crystal, I'll text you when I get home. Be careful babe." Jess said, right before she left. Today was such a confusing day I'm not even sure how to be "careful" anymore. It was too hard, Justin was now everywhere I went. I decided to text Austin about what happened..

Me: Austin, I need your help.

Austin M: Why, what's wrong?

Me: Justin kissed me today, but I sorta didn't push him away.

Austin M: Want me to come over?

Me: Please.

And just like that my doorbell rang. I went downstairs to answer it and surely it was Austin. He wrapped his arms around my waist and picked me up in a hug.

"Are you okay Crystal, did he hurt you too?" he asked.. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he put me down, then I let go and lifted up my shirt. He saw that I had a large black and blue right where Justin punched me.

"Crystal, I can't let you fall for him. Look what he's doing to you. It's not okay with me."

His hazel eyes softened and I looked down. He slowly crept closer to me and layed two fingers under my chin lifting my face up.

"I'm here now, and I'm not gonna let him hurt you."

"And how are you even gonna stop him, he's everywhere I go."

"Then I'll go everywhere with you."

"I can't just stop you from-"

"Who's says you're stopping me from anything? I want to help you."

"Austin I'm so confused I just don't know what to do anymore."

I bursted in to tears right then and there. He rung his arm around the back of my neck and pulled me into his chest, and I stood there crying in his arms. This is all too much, Justin hits me then kisses me and expects me to believe he loves me. I can't deal with it, and it isn't fair because I shouldn't have to.

"It's okay, I'm here now Crystal. I'm here to protect you." Austin whispered in my ear. He scooped me up in his arms and brought me over to the couch, he just let me cry. He laid his thumb to my cheek and wiped my tears. I looked up at him, and layed my head at the crook of his neck then drifted off to sleep.
