Petes POV
I walked to my locker with a slight limp knowing Mikey's gang wouldn't be around today. They were much too hungover from last night. I wish Mikey would let me drink so I could forget the pain and feelings of disgust. I passed Patrick in the hallway like normal trying to ignore his worried gaze. I knew all the marks were covered by my clothes or makeup. I was a pro at hiding things. I signed opening my locker. I knew I didn't love mikey hell I didn't even like him but he took my virginity he was my first everything I owed it too him to stick by his side . I looked back over at Patrick now he was something special. He was a pretty nerdy guy but his eyes drew me in every time I could bring myself to look at them. I wanted nothing more than to run into his arms and never leave them but I had to remain loyal to mikey . It was the best way to avoid a beating or worse. I felt someone walk up behind me and I froze. I didn't smell alcohol or shity cologne so it couldn't have been mikey. It smelled like coffee and vanilla. I turned around to see Patrick holding out a cup to me drinking his own.
" not gonna like you look like you need it" he chuckled softly and I longed to join him but it had been so long that I forgot how to. I looked at the cup nervously. What iF it was drugged? Mikey did that all the time. I felt myself start panicking until he took a sip of mine before handing it to me.
" see love it's safe now how about we actually get you to class for once?" He smiled guiding me gently. Maybe this was it I could have a friend one that mikey couldn't control or make do awful things to me.
Patrick's POV
I walked beside him sneaking glances at any exposed skin trying to prove my hunch right. Maybe I should just tell the principal or someone . I couldn't bring myself to do it maybe it was a selfish need to be his hero to be the one to save him . I smiled as I watched him drink the coffee . He squeaked when he burned his tongue. It was so cute I chuckled after making sure he was alright. I thought back to what must have been like before mikey. He seemed like he would get into trouble a lot if the few tattoos I could see were anything to go by. I had almost gotten him to class when mikey stumbled to the door.
" princess what on earth are you doing here instead of at home resting?" He had a sickening sweet voice on it sounded so fake. I saw pete gulp hiding his coffee behind me before rushing to Mikey's side to take care of him like always. I could see how hard mikey was gripping his arm as he dragged pete out. I knew right there that I was going to save pete wentz . I wouldn't let him suffer anymore. I went to my next class and started to plan on how to do it.
