Southern Love

Wednesday

Dixie's POV 

It's been a couple of days and my back and butt hurt like hell from rodeo, and I'm really tired today for some reason. "Today is not gonna be a good day." I say to myself as I pray that today goes easy. I jump in the shower and do my business to look at least look half ass decent. I throw on my camo comfies, and throw my hair in a bun. I have sudden pains in my stomach and sigh knowing today is the day that mother nature decides to make me a bitch. I don't wanna be a bitch today so I gotta be tough about it. I text Colton to ask him if he would come and pick me up. 

D- Hey, I'm sorry to ask but could you pick me up please?

C-Yeah, what's wrong?

D-Just not feeling to good.

C-Yeah I'm on my way.

Let me just say thank the lord for this boy. I walked down stairs to grab a poptart and wait on the porch. I hear his truck come down the road so I walk down to the end of the drive way and stick my thumb out like a weirdo. He stops and rolls down his window an says," Hey pretty girl, need a ride?" I decided to play along, "I sure could, handsome." I smiled an laughed as I came around the front to jump in. I opened the door and a bunch of trash came out. I look up and his with a face.

Colton's POV

She texted me this morning asking for a ride I was worried that maybe her truck was broke down, or something worst. I hurried over there and seen her stick her thumb out acting weird I could help but laugh and play along with it. She played along with it to 'god I love that girl' she came around the front and opened the door. I didn't get to clean out my truck so all the trash came falling out of my truck. She looked up at me and gave me a 'really?' look. She shook her head and jumped in the truck and plugged in her phone, and we headed to hell I mean school. We pulled up to the school and got out when everyone was looking at us weirdly. She looked up at me an shrugged then we walked into the school to find the guys. I seen Brian who looked not to happy to see that I had Dixie with me. I knew he liked her but it didn't seem that she liked him back at all. "Hey guys, do y'all have food or candy or something?" Brian shook his head. Luke nodded and dug into his bag and pulled out a bag of funyuns. "FUNYUNS!!!" she yelled and caught the attention of the whole damn school. "Sorry y'all can go bout your business!". Damn that girl got lungs on her I swear. "So what's wrong Dixie?" Luke asked and she looked like she wanted to die right then and there. "I started my period, it hurts so much and I just wanna cry." she held onto her stomach like she was going to vomit. I went up to her nervously and wrapped my arms around her. She softened in my embrace and leaned her head into my shoulder. I rocked her side to side slowly and met eyes with Bryan who looked defeated. I gave him a look that said what was on my mind, he simply nodded and smiled. The bell finally rang which sent all of us to class, I let go of her slightly to see her face. She smiled at me, an I knew I would never get tired of that smiled forever. "I hope you feel better through out the day." I say and gave her a big hug and heard her say thank you. I gave her a smiled and walked to my first class.   

Dixie's POV

I did nothing but listen to music the whole day, but the whole day I thought back to this morning when Colton held me. I felt safe and protected, beside the face that he had a good two feet on me. I was just thankful that I was lunch time now, however what I walked into was what I wanted to see. I scan the lunch room to see a fight where the boys would usually be. I quickly ran over there to see Colton getting jumped by four other guys. I looked around for Bryan and Luke, Luke was getting hit too. However Bryan was nowhere to see been, I was now pissed and snapped. I black out...

Colton's POV

I was in the cafeteria looking for Dixie when a group of guys come up and start fitting me in the face. I get pinned to the floor and can't get up, I look around or at least try to an see Dixie looking for my boys I guess. She sees that Luke is tied up as well, but she gets pissed an doesn't look like her self. She pushed the guy off of me and yells," Swing bitch!!" and I was shocked that the guys actually did. 'Did he have no respect!' he hit Dixie in the face but she simply turned her head towards him and gave a smile. She swung and knocked him out quickly I tried to get up and help her, but I was already weak. The other guys that were on Luke and I go for Dixie, however she isn't fazed at all. She swings an doesn't stop, until all of the guys are knocked out. I gained a little bit of energy in what seemed for an eternity I stand up to walk to her. She shakes her head and blinks several times. She stumbles a little bit and begins to fall, but I catch her just in time. The principle comes up and asks what happens luckily someone shows him a video. Cause right now my main focus was to get Dixie home and feeling better. "Sir, May I have permission to take her home?" he nodded and I took her to the truck and drove her home.

I turned on the radio and heard a Kenney Chesney song come on that explained the way I was feeling right now when I look at her.
