Love Has No Boundaries (Straight Furry Fanfiction)

Chapter 6: Confession

Emily's P.o.V

I sat next to Tom outside reception and our Head of Year, Mr Gold, came in and stared at us. "What were you two thinking?! What you've done might damage the schools reputation!" he said. I looked down upset and said "I didn't mean to sir" trying really hard to hold back tears. "To do what?" He said confused. "Bite off the top of Tom's ear. I tripped and fell on him but my mouth was forced shut when we hit the floor. I'm sorry" I said looking down again. "Well thanks for telling me. But you're both going home today and you both have after school detentions for an hour every day for the next 2 weeks" he said calmly. He turned to Tom and looked at him friendly but with a hint of sadness. "Now Tom, I'm sorry about you ear but the hospital said it has been dead too long for them to reattach it" he said and Tom looked at me, unexpectedly, very calmly. I was expecting him to be really mad at me. "Your face should heal soon though" Mr Gold said. He turned to me and looked less friendly. "Many people say that you started the fight. They say that you were holding Tom and refusing to let go when he asked you to, then he pushed you and you hit him. Is this true" he said sternly staring at me. I looked up and said "Its tru-" before Tom cut me off. "False. It's false. I pushed her because I wanted to have a fight today. She was just there when I wanted to" he said shocking me. Why would he take the blame? I thought. "Okay then Tom. You're in isolation tomorrow" Mr Gold said and walked off. "I've got a lesson to teach now. Don't kill each other" he said and left.

We had sat in silence waiting for our parents after that talk. I was still confused. Why did Tom take the blame? I started it, I should have taken the blame I thought. "Tom, your parents are on the way" one receptionist called. "Okay" he said back. "They said they were in town, they'll be here in about 10 minutes. Emily, I haven't been able to reach your parents" she said but I wasn't surprised. Figures, they're probably too busy with whatever they do during the day I thought. After sitting in more silence I finally found the courage and turned to Tom. "Tom" I said getting his attention. He turned to me and said, "Yeah?" "Why did you take the blame for starting the fight? I wouldn't leave you alone" I asked and his expression changed from sort of happy, sort of upset to nervous. "Well, it's um..." He started scratching the back of his head with a slight blush. "What?" I asked confused. "I can't believe I'm about to say this but, t-the reason I took the blame was because I, well I... um. I-I like you" he said looking down as if ashamed. I stared at him blankly, my mind had just exploded. "Y-you like, me" I said pointing to my chest. "Y-yeah, that's why I've been looking at you quite a lot. I was always thinking she is so beautiful, I wish I could have her" he said and I was still so confused, I didn't know if I should feel happy, angry and creeped out. "Why didn't you tell me this?" I said and he chuckled a little. "I just thought you'd make it a joke. Please don't" he said looking at me with puppy dog eyes. I giggled, "Well I guess I do owe you for biting the top off your ear" I said. "Thanks" he said and hugged me. "But, I'm sorry. I don't feel the same way about you" I said and his ears drooped. "I knew you would say something like that" he said as a brown and white husky and a black and cyan husky entered. "Oh Tom, are you alright" the black and cyan one said. "I'm fine mum" Tom said. "So a Jackson, huh? Figures" the other said. "Dad, it was my fault, not her's. I started the fight, my ear was an accident" Tom said. "Fine son, you're grounded for a week, let's go" Tom's dad said opening the door letting Tom's mum out. Tom got up and went to the door. He turned and shot me a smile before saying "Bye Emily, see you in detention" and walked out.

It took an hour for my mum to come and get me and it looked like she had been partying. I sat in my room, staring at my wall. All that went through my head was what Tom had said to me. "Why does he like me? I've bullied him and our families hate each other" I said to myself. I lay on my bed and watched my ceiling fan go round and round. "I'll just have a nap, that'll get him out of my head" I said. I closed my eyes and tried to forget but all I could see was Tom smiling at me. I growled, "Why do I keep thinking about him?!" I said throwing something at my wall. Then I realised. "Oh my, do I like him?! I can't, we could never. Our families would never accept it" I said. I got up and looked out my window to see a red truck pulling up to the gate. "What's Derek doing here?" I asked. A guard looked at him but opened the gate. He drove up and got out. He opened the back door to his truck and pulled out Joe and Chris. Wait, maybe I can tell Derek I like Tom, and he can pass the message on I thought and ran out my room to the door.

I opened it and Derek threw them through the door. "Thanks Derek" I said. "You need to make sure they are kept under control or next time they come back, it might be in a body bag" he said and I felt a shiver down my spine. He turned to leave but I grabbed his arm. "Wait Derek, I need to tell you something" I said and he turned. "I think I have a crush on your brother" I said and I closed my eyes expecting to be punched. But instead I heard him chuckle. "So, he told you then" Derek said as I opened my eyes. "Wait, you knew he liked me?" I asked shocked. "Yeah he told me about a month and a half ago. Though you might want to keep this a secret because I wasn't very happy with it" he said. "What do you mean?" I said. "Well when he told me I shouted at him and upset him quite a bit. You might not want to piss him off too much or something like this might happen" he said holding up his left paw to reveal a scar that looked like teeth marks. "Did... did Tom bite you?" I asked now slightly scared. "Yeah but he was super pissed off, I don't think he would do it to you as he loves you" Derek said. "Take me to him please" I said and he grinned. "Sure thing" he said and we got in his truck.

Tom's P.o.V

I was in my room still trying to get the blood off my walls. Most of it was gone except for the autistic husky one, as that was the biggest and the oldest. I heard a car door shut outside and thought Derek's home. "Come off" I said to myself as it wasn't. The sponge did nothing so I just put it in the bucket and took it downstairs as the door opened. "Hey Tommy, you got a visitor" Derek said. "Who?" I asked and he grinned. "You'll see" he said walking upstairs. I went to the door and Emily was there. "H-hi Emily, what are you doing here" I said feeling my cheeks getting hot again. "Well, I was thinking about what you said earlier and, well. I think I like you too" she said, blushing a bright shade of red. "You like me too?" I said and smiled I walked over to her and hugged her. "What about our families, if they find out then-" she started but I stopped her. "We'll have to keep it a secret then" I said and she did the most unexpected thing ever. She kissed me full on the lips. I started to kiss back and we stood there hugging and kissing for a few seconds. "Oh god I love you" I said. "I love you too" she said.

There, finally some romance between them. I don't know if it is too cheesy because as I said I suck at romance. Bye for now.
