Lovely

3/\i hear a second voice behind your tounge somehow

Jenna and i had been texting constantly. The day had finally rolled around. It was Wednesday.
I got on the bus and walked to the back where Jenna and i had been meeting up. I sat down across the isle from her. She noticed me and pulled her earbuds out.

"Hi! Are we still on for later?" she said, in a very perky manner.

"Yep! Absolutely! I think i have the perfect spot where we can work." I responded.
Somehow when i talk to her now i feel the exact opposite than what i felt before. Now i feel anxious unless i am talking to her.

"Awesome. I cannot wait to see it"

After school i saw her by her locker so i walked towards her.

"Hey, you ready to go?" i said.

"Yep just about. I think i have everything. Lets go." she said as she closed he locker.

We walked to the bus and got on together. I usually dont ride the bus after school because of basketball but i dont have it on wednesdays or fridays so those are my exception. We immediately started chatting, and uncontrollably laughing.

"Well i guess our homework date will be a little bland, considering we didn't get much homework." she said with a sweet grin.

"Yeah, and i finished all that we had in study hall." i replied.

" yep, me too." she said

Once we got off the bus she texted her mom to double check that it was ok that they hang out. She responded fairly quickly with a yes and we started towards my house. Instead of going throught the house we went through the gate on the side and we climbed over the fence at the edge of my backyard, to reveal a sweet golden ohio forest.

"We dont need our backpacks i guess then." she said sliding it off her shoulder.

"guess not." i responded, taking mine off too.

My brothers old bike was leaned against the fence so i got on it and said, " I will take you on a ride. I will make you belive you are lovely."

She immediately smiled and climbed on top, gripping my shoulders and around my neck. I started pedaling and we were off.

We went on for about 7-10 minutes until my legs couldnt pedal any farther. I stopped and she got off, meanwhile giggling and blushing. i then got off as well  we layed on the ground. i layed down first and then she layed down resting her head on my stomach. I winced and tryed to contain the pain from the bruises on my chest. She moved her head and looked at my arm, lifting and resting her head again which lead me to wince again. But this time it was louder. I couldnt hold it in any longer. I burst out into tears. She sat up quickly and looked at me.

"Tyler." she said softly, but with a more concerned look on her face than before.

I kept crying.

"Tyler!" she said raising her voice, "Thoses bruises aren't from basketball are they."

I couldnt look at her. I didnt want to see her eyes. Her eyes told me exactly what she was thinking, and i didnt want to know what she thought at that moment. I shook my head and continued to look at the red-brown leaves.

"Ty. Look at me." she demanded, lifting my head with her gentle hands, "What happened."

My voice had gone. What was i supposed to say? Oh i think you are gorgeous and funny and probably the best person i have ever met but i am in a relationship. With someone who is a little physical.

She grabbed the bottom of my shirt and slowly lifted it upwards. I was ashamed. I didnt want her to know this side of me. I didnt want anyone to know this side of me.

She kept pulling until she couldnt anymore and the she said "Up. Come on Ty, Lift your arms. Please."

I felt bad hearing her voice sound like i wasnt helping her. I lifted my arms and she kept pulling upwards.

"Who did this to you. Why. WAS IT YOUR DAD? SOMEONE AT SCHOOL? tyler please answer. i want to help."

I looked he in the eye to see her pure curiosity and look of abandonment.

"I-It wass my boyfriend, Josh". i said ready for her to hate me.

"oh."

"Im sorry i didnt tell you. I thought he was my one love and then he hit me. And i know now that it is bad and i dont know how to get out." i said starting to cry again.

"im so sorry tyler" she said as she stroked my head. "i will help you. whatever you need."

she reached out and kissed me. then we laid parallel to each other, holding hands and looked at the clouds.
