Chasing Your Dreams

Proposals And Bullies

Jason's pov

She was singing covers onstage at a bar in town. I was of course cheering her on with Brittany. "She's amazing." I hear someone whisper beside me, staring at her shocked. I smile. "She sure is." I whisper to myself.

*a few days later*

Miranda's pov

I was reading in my room when the door opened. I look up to see Mo. I smile. "Hey Mo. It's great to see you again." He sits beside me. "What ya reading?" "The maze runner." Dad calls me downstairs so me and Mo head down there. I stop short surprised seeing my mom and stepdad too. Along with my real dad. "Um what's going on?" I shakily say, gripping Mo's hand. All my parents stay quiet. They all look confused except dad (Jason). Mo reaches out and takes both my hands. I stare up at him confused.

He gets on one knee. "Miranda, will you marry me?" The shocked look on her face is perfect. Britt is crying in shock too. "Oh Mo!" She whimpers. "Yes!" He smiles and hugs her. "I love you, Mo!" "I love you more!" "So that's why you called everyone." Britt says, trying to regain composure. I laugh softly and nod. I hug her tight. Keely and Kendyl get home from school and I tell them. "Whoa!" Then I notice a bruise on Kendyl's cheek. "What happened?!" I gasp wide eyed. "She's-" "Don't tell!" "She's being bullied dad!" Keely cries. "Not for long she ain't."

Miranda's pov

I hear Keely say Kendyl's being bullied. I'm shocked. I walk over there angrily. "Who's bullying my baby sister?" I gasp. "He's like eighteen and hits her every chance he can!" "Now he'll hit me more cause you told!" She whimpers, shoving Keely and running to her room. "Not on my watch." I growl, clenching my fists. Keely gives me the name. Dad grabs my arm. "You shouldn't do that. I don't want you getting hurt." I laugh softly. "I won't get hurt. I know how to fight." "Fine. But I'm comin' too. Every good fighter has back up." He smiles and puts his cowboy hat on. Me and dad go to the bully's usual hangout. He was laughing and punching his hand. I bet he's talking about bullying folks. I clench my fists.

Jason's pov

Whoa. I don't think I've ever seen this girl so mad. She looks like she could kill someone if she wanted to. "Just be careful." I say nervously. She says, "Maybe you don't remember but I took care of my siblings like my own. Nobody and I mean nobody hurts my little siblings without feeling my wrath." She growls. I am beyond shocked. "Hey bub!" She yells. The kids turn around. "Which one a you is Steven Doogard?" The kid who was punching his fist earlier saunters over acting all that. "That'd be me hot stuff. What's a little girl like you doing here?" "I'm here to kick your ass you son of a bitch!" She yells punching him in the stomach. He doubles over in surprise.

Miranda's pov

He stares at me enraged. "And to think I thought you were a cute little thing." "I may be little but you'll never get this piece of ass." I growl, clenching my fists. "What the?" He gapes. "You beat on my little sister. I'm just showin' ya what little girls are made of!" I growl, punching him in the face. He falls back against the railing. He didn't even get a chance to fight back because I keep throwing punches. "The next time I hear you laid a hand on my baby sister again, I'll make your nightmares look like a happy place, got it?" He nods, shakily shocked. I walk back over to my jaw dropped dad. "How... How in the world-" "I may be small but I won't ever be taken down by any boy." I say, crossing my arms. "That was amazing." He says. I smile. "Let's go home dad."
