That girl in your class, she laughs. She has a smile that lights up an entire room. That girl in your class, she has great grades that it seems like she doesn't even have to try. That girl in your class, she has seemingly amazing friends who care ab...
We cling to music, to poems, to quotes, to writing, to art because we desperately do not want to be alone. We want to know we aren't going crazy and someone else out there knows exactly how you're feeling. We want someone to explain the things we can't.
I run after her but, when I finally catch up to her......she's being embraced by some guy. I stop dead in my tracks and I hear him say, " Hey you. Don't give up okay?" She nods her head and he says," Hey do me a favor. Smile." She smiles and I feel my heart race faster than any normal heart should can go. "Hey, you look super cute when you smile," he says as I feel myself snap.
I run up in front of them and she tries to run off but, I grab her wrist and pull her back. "Hey get off her now," he tries grabbing me but, I push him to the floor while her wrist still in my grasp. "Hey how about you take your own advice and stop trying to get with her. Your just one of those guys who use girls. So, back off," I say as I kick him in the rib cage.
Her eyes widen with fear and I hear him say with confidence, "Are you dating her or not?" I feel my heart stop and I say, "No, we're not dating, but she's still mine. Any more questions?" He gets up and smirks at me saying, "Obviously she doesn't want you because she trying to run away from you."
"Don't act like you know her when you've only met her three seconds ago. Have you noticed the bags under eyes or the anger issues that she has? Her hollow cheeks and cracked lips still forced into a smile because of jerks like you. Struggling to show everyone that she's a fighter and that she will be alright. No one bothered hold to her close, to tell her that it's okay not to be fine. You won't be the one too but, instead I will.
So, she breathed through her life as if it were a battlefield and wished that one day she would live, and not just survive. So before you going on telling me you know more about her.....at least be more practical instead of so pathetic."
Several emotions flood flash across his face as he takes in every word I said and he comes back with," Next time don't put your hands on any girl or I will hurt you." He grabs her other arm and whispers," Hey girl, let's go. Just say you wanna go with me and he'll let go. I'll protect you from this monster."
I let go of her and grab his shirt and punch him the face. He stumbles and I kick him legs so, he falls to the ground. I walk over to where he fell and I start kicking him repeatedly till he curls in a ball. "Don't ever speak to her ever again......don't even look at her. If you think this was bad imagine what will happen if you don't obey my requests." He looks at me with fear in his eyes and races down the school hallway.
I look at her.....her eyes are wide and she's about scream but, I cover her mouth. I embrace her in a hug and tell her I'm sorry but, she just keeps on shaking. I look at her and lean my face towards her. I can feel her shaking but I whispered," Please don't go" and I kissed her.
