(Warning, possibly triggering.)

People shot me dirty looks as I walked down the hallway. I ignored them and went to my locker. I got my books out then headed down to my Biology class. I remember the day very well. The day my best forensic left me for the snobs.
*flashback*
"Hey, Damon! Ready for our hang out?" I asked him, a grin on my face.
"Look (Y/N) I can't." Damon said, annoyed. I frowned.
"Why not? We always have hang out every Friday. Come on let's go!"
I said, tugging his arm.
"I SAID I CAN'T! Gosh are you that stupid! I never wanted to be friends with you. You are annoying and plain old worthless. Get on with your life. You're just a slut. No wonder your parents left you." Damon spat. Tears were rolling down my face by then. Mentioning my parents was my breaking point.
"A-Alright. Bye. I never want to see you ever again." I choked out, a lump forming in my throat. I ripped the necklace he gave me last year for my birthday and threw on the ground. I left as I wiped the tears away from my face.
*end of flashback*
Tears were forming in my eyes as it always does every time I think about that day.
"(Y/N)?" I heard someone whisper. I turned and was face to face with Damon. My eyes widened and I turned back around.
"(Y/N) listen to me. I'm sorry. I'm very sorry about that day. I was mad and I wasn't thinking. Please forgive me." Damon whispered. I stay motionless, in shock. Did he just apologize? I turned around and saw a smirk plastered on his face.
"You actually believed that? I would never apologize to a fag like you. HEY GUYS, LITTLE EMO GIRL HERE THOUGHT I REALLY APOLOGIZED HERE!" Damon shouted out. That's it! I'm done with all the bullshit. I stood up from my desk and glared at the whole classroom who were laughing. People shut up and looked at me.
"You know what?! I'm done being treated like shit! This is all your fault! This is why I cut! And you-" I said pointing at Damon, "you will never, and I mean never, mention my parents that way again. Remember this. Remember that I died because of all of you. I hope you all rot in hell. You're the cause of my death!" I yelled, with tears in my eyes. I grabbed my bag and ran out of the school. I ran to the cemetery where my parents were buried.
Linda and Frank (L/N), beloved parents and family members. You will forever live in our hearts.
I fell on my knees and cried on their tombstone.
"Mom, dad. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I was a failure in life. Thank you for everything you've done for me. Thank you. I hope you're doing fine up their. I'll be joining you soon. Remember that time when dad came home from work, mom? He came in the kitchen and yelled out 'I'm home!' And we both jumped out of our hiding spot and threw food and we all had a food fight. Dad, had to order pizza because all of us used all the food in the fridge for our food fight. I still remember that day. It was the best day of my life. I wish we were back to old times where we all went out on Sundays and ate ice cream or when we would have family nights. I miss you guys so much, but I won't any longer. I'll soon be up their and we can finally be together as a family. I love you mom and dad." I said, as tears were flowing down my face very quickly. I wiped them away and started digging in my bag. I felt a sharp object and I took it out. My razor. I held my wrists out and slashed them. Blood was flowing down quickly as I cut. The pain was relieving as I cut. I did the same with my other arm. I dug my razor deep on one cut and soon everything started to blur.
"(Y/N)!!" I heard in far distance. Everything went black in a matter of seconds.
*Damon's POV*
I ran and saw (Y/N)'s body looking lifeless. Oh god. I quickly picked her up bridal style and put her in my car. I took a old shirt that sitting on the floor and ripped it apart. I wrapped both of them on each arm to stop the blood from flowing. I jumped in my car after I was done and drove fast to my house.
"Mom open up!" I yelled and banged on the door, as soon as I got to my house. My mom opened up the door and her eyes landed on (Y/N).
"Is that (Y/N)? Dear lord. Go put her in your room. I'll go get the first aid kit." Mom said, and I nodded. I ran into my room and set (Y/N) down on my bed. My mom came in with the first aid kit and started treating her wounds. This is all my fault! My fault! I'm such a jerk! This shouldn't be happening if I hadn't been such a ass and ditched (Y/N).
"Let her rest. She'll be fine in a couple of hours." Mom said, and I nodded. Thank god she's a nurse.
*Your POV*
My arms aches and my head pounded as soon as I opened my eyes. I groaned and looked around. I looked down at my arms and saw them bandaged up. Where am I? Why am I not dead? My eyes fell on a guy who was resting on the side of the bed. I shook the guy and he stirred lightly. He shot up and looked at me. I recognized him and my eyes widened.
"Thank god you're alright (Y/N)." Damon said, hugging me tightly. I pushed him away and glared at him.
"You shouldn't of healed me! I should've been dead by now! That's what you wanted didn't you?! Me dead, just like my parents! I don't want to see you. Get away from me." I yelled, but soon drifted into a low whisper. Damon shook his head and looked at me with tears rolling down his face.
"I never wanted that, never. I was being a jerk and I know I shouldn't have been one. I'm sorry (Y/N). I-I love you." Damon said, as he looked into my eyes.
"But why?" I asked him.
"I wanted popularity. I was been a jerk and didn't think about you're feelings. I thought maybe if I hurt you I would join the preps. But now I regret it. I've been regretting it. I love you. Please forgive me?" Damon said, his lips moving closer and closer to mine. I looked down.
"Prove it. Prove you're really sorry." I said.
"I will. As a matter of fact I'll show everyone in front of the whole school." Damon said, lifting my face up. I smiled and closed the gap between us. I kissed him passionately and pulled him closer to me. I felt him smile into the kiss. I felt fireworks around us and butterflies in my stomach. The kiss was everything I dreamed it would be. After a couple of minutes, I pulled back and grinned.
"So are we official? I asked, as my hands rested around his neck. He chuckled and nodded.
"Yeah, we are." Damon said, and pecked my lips.
"I love you more then I can ever scream." I said, using the line from a song I loved. Damon smiled and hugged me tightly.
"But I love way more then that. I will always love you no matter what." He said. I smiled and rested my head on his lap. This is it. This is paradise.
*Next Day*
I was sitting in my math class, doing my assignment. The intercom came on and everyone perked up to hear what was gonna be said.
Hello? Is this thing on? *tap tap* I assume it is on since I hear loud whispers.
I heard Damon's voice and wondered what the hell is he up to.
Anyways, I'm here to tell EVERYONE to go down to the assembly room and take a seat, because I have a few things to say.
Everyone rushed out of the room, eager to miss class. I got up and left with the rest. What the hell is going on with you Damon Baxter Hall?
Once I got there I saw lots of people seated. I took a seat somewhere in the middle and saw Damon on stage. I curiously raised my eyebrow at him and all he could do was grin. Once very on was seated, Damon grabbed the microphone and cleared his throat.
"I know you all are wondering what the hell am I doing? Well, I'm here to answer your question. I have been a jerk, an ass, a messed up son of a biscuit, and I know. I've been in love with this girl ever since we've been best friends. One day I decided to ditch her and join the jerks of the while school," oh no, please Damon. "I want to show everyone that I love her. (Y/N) can you come up?" Damon said, a tint of pink on his cheek. I bit my lip and everyone turned and looked at me awestruck. I nervously got up and went on the stage. I stood in front of Damon and bit down on my lip harder.
"(Y/N) I'm sorry for everything. You've been the girl that stole my heart since day one. I love you so much." He said, as he got down on one knee. I looked at him wide eyed and blushed hard.
"(Y/N) I promise I will never hurt you. I will stay by your side and be there for you. I will love you forever. I will support you in everything. (Y/N) do me an honor and be my girlfriend?" Damon said, eyes full of pure hope. I nodded as tears of joy rolled down my cheek.
"Yes, I'll be your girlfriend." I said, softly. Damon smiled and got a box from behind him. He opened it up and pulled out a beautiful ring.
"This ring, is to show that I will keep my promise. That I love you. That you are my girlfriend and I will protect you. I love you." He took the ring and slid it on my finger. I smiled and gave him a hug.
"I love you too." I whispered and kissed him with pure passion. Damon responded quickly and wrapped his arms around my waist. I pulled away and grinned. I looked at the audience before us and smiled. Everyone stood up and started clapping and shouting. Some girls were squealing and I heard some say they were jealous of me and that they wish that happened to them. I laughed and looked at Damon who was blushing like crazy.
"I love you so much, gorgeous." Damon said, and pecked my lips. I smiled.
"I love you too," I said, kissing his cheek.
"Damon Baxter Hall!!" We heard in the distance. I looked up and saw the principal. Damon flipped him off, dipped me, and gave me a sweet long kiss. I will forever love you, Damon Hall.
*you decide the rest*
