Crispin POV
    It was going great. He sang beautifully every time he was on stage, even if it wasn’t solely his song. He had almost everyone of his lines memorized. Absolutely everyone loves having him around. I never thought Cinder would be the light in a room full of people, he was always this dark cloud of insecurities and secrets. Now he was laughing hysterically with a bunch of girls who were eagerly dying his hair black.
    “Damn! I think you got it in my eye!” I heard him squeal. I stood quickly and rushed to his side.
    “You guys have to be careful with him,” I growled. I felt my face heat, “You know. so he can perform,”
    “Awwww Crispin’s in love!” One girl, Melinda, squeaked. The other girls joined in the chorus of cooing and giggling.
    “Drop it,” I grumbled and sulked back to my corner of the dressing room. I heard the whole group of girls giggle as they went back to primping Cinder.
    “You know it’s true you brat,” Ms. Hopkins chuckled beside me. I glared at the floor and crossed my arms in a pout.
    “It’s not funny!” I snipped.
    “Not funny just pure adorable,” Ms. Hopkins replied running her fingers through her long blonde hair. I stood up, still pouting,
    “I’m going for a walk, you guys are mean,” I said, sticking my tougne out at everyone in the room as I left.
    The hallway was quiet as it always was after school on Friday afternoons, everyone else is at home preparing for the weekend. I strolled over to the water fountain  and bent down to take a drink, a pair of arms then lightly snaked around my waist. I chuckled lightly and stood up quickly as I always do when Kalea tries to freak me out by being a perv. My head connected with a solid chest instead of my besties forehead and I froze. It was then that sickly smell of a body overpowered with Axe forced it’s way into my nostrils and made my head spin.
    “Oh my Crispin, what are you trying to do hurt me?” A deep smooth voice above me mumbled. I wiggled my hips to tear myself from the persons grasp but only ended up being held tighter as the person moaned in irritation.
    “Why do you always have to run away?” The boy growled. His annoyed tone chipped into my mind and  made my face drain of it’s natural color. I kicked out immediately and caught Jason in the knee. He released me and I jumped forward, slamming myself into the water fountain. I spun around and faced him with wide,wild eyes.
    “G-get out of here,” I said. Jason laughed slightly and stepped closer to me. Pinning me to the water fountain with his body.
    “Why would I do that? You look so cute in your skeleton makeup,” he whispered seductively in my ear. I unconsciously reached up to my face and cupped my painted cheek in my palm. Jason placed his hand over mine and I instinctively flinched away from him.
    “What are you playing at?” I growled. Jason lifted an eyebrow and gripped my right hip almost playfully.
    “Little bit feisty now aren’t you? I thought you liked me Crispin?  If you do shouldn’t I be allowed to compliment you?” He questioned.
    “I don’t like you Jason. You and your friends beat me up all the time and you make it a point to humiliate me every fucking day. Why did you think I liked you?” I hissed.  Jason’s eyes clouded over angrily,
    “You fucking little bitch! You did fucking like me. You liked me that day on the merry go round when my friends and I found you smoking in the woods and you liked me a for a long time before that! What changed your mind!” He screamed. He had me by the upper arms now and was gripping them tightly.
    “I never liked y-”
    “You’re a liar! Was it that new kid? Huh! Did he change your fucking mind!?”
I flinched as best I could in his grip.
    “No one changed my mind because it never had to be changed, I like Cinder a hell of a lot more than I ever could’ve liked you!” I screamed back. His grip tightened even more before I felt his lips violently pursue mine. One of his hands left my arm to hold the back of my head and prohibit me from turning away. He latched onto my lip and made me gasp. He took advantage of that and forced his tognue into my mouth. His teeth clanked against mine as he tried to urge me to kiss back. I couldn’t. In all the fantasies I’d had about kissing him it was gentle and loving. This was forceful and jealous. I couldn’t kiss him back. He pulled away and glared down at me.
    “Do you like me now Crispin?” he hissed. I shook my head defiantly and he growled deep in his throat before dragging me into the bathroom stationed beside us. He pushed me up against the sinks and I looked up slightly to see my swollen lips and smudged makeup around my mouth. Jason grabbed the back of my neck and turned the tap on before shoving my head into the sink. The hot water stung my scalp and I could feel Jack melting off my face as clearly as the bruises that were forming on my neck. He pulled me back up and spun me around to face him,
    “You look better now you stupid fag, now how about you give me a kiss?” he snarled. I wiped away the face paint that was drizzling towards my eyes and shook my head. Jason growled again and smacked me across the face. I held my burning cheek as he threw me to the floor. I was eye level with...well you know... and he began to undo his belt. I was frozen into shock until he began to pull down the zipper of his jeans. I whimpered and crawled across the nasty floor huddle in the pace beneath the sinks.
    “Get out here,” Jason demanded. I brought my knees to my chest and covered my ears while frightened tears barreled down my cheeks. The bathroom door slammed open then shut and I saw Jason hit the floor at the impact of an invisible force.
    “You fucking pervert! What the fuck do you think you were going to do!?” Kalea’s scream asked. I stayed in my spot as I watched her nail her brother in the nose. Serves him right. Jason pushed her off of him and re did his pants before pushing himself to his feet.
    “That fucking whore. Cinder, he’s going to pay. That boy under the sinks is mine. You here me Crispin? You’re mine.” he growled. I watched his feet stalk off towards the door and heard it slam open and shut once more. A hand wrapped around my ankle and I gasped quietly before I was pulled out and looking up into the eyes of Kalea. I jumped up and hugged her tightly.
    “Thank you s-s-so fucking m-uch,” I cried. She hugged me back and rubbed soothing circles on my back.
    “Calm down honey. It’s okay, I wouldn’t let him hurt you. Cinder saw the kiss I guess and he ran back and told Mrs. Hopkins and I. I had to come after you,” she whispered.
    “W-where’s Cinder? Jason’s going to h-hu-hurt him,” I whimpered.
    “Don’t worry I made him stay in the auditorium. Those freshman fangirls won’t let anything happen to him,” she cooed. I nodded and Kalea led me out of the bathroom and back to the auditorium where the first thing I did was walk up to Cinder and hug him as tightly as I could even when he flinched slightly.
    “Thanks Sally,” I murmured. I heard smoochy noises behind me and slight chuckles from Kalea and Mrs.Hopkins. I didn’t care, Cinder just saved my ass (actually my mouth if you want to be technical) and I couldn’t have come to realize how much I liked him until then. Until Sally saved Jack’s ass. I’m so glad he’s almost ready to perform.
Cinder POV (epic shortness)
    I melted into Crispin’s hug and reveled in the fact that he wasn’t mad that I hadn’t saved him.
    “Thanks Sally,” he murmured. I blushed furiously and let my newly died hair hide my face.
