I wake to the smell of something nice as I swung my body up, I forgot that lion was next to me and I had swung my arm right into his chest I had to hold in my chuckle as I see him dart up from the bed looking everywhere to find out what happened when his eyes landed on me and I started laughing hysterically.

"Omg I'm so sorry" he looked at me with a smirk.

"Oh you'll have to pay for that " he went to get me.

but I got out of the bed and started to run away so I had a head start on him so I ran anywhere that looked like a way out. We were laughing hysterically. I ran down the hall and found a closet. I dived into it quickly trying not to hurt myself but I heard lion's steps running back and forth until I let out a little laugh and he came running into the closet and started tickling me.

"Stop it, Haha Haha it hurts " I tried to fan away the massive hands that tried to smother me in tickles.

"I said you had to pay for what you did" we both started rolling around in a fit of laughter I felt like I was a child again.

We finally sobered up from our laughing fit and got up from the floor and got dressed ready for school I was dreading it because now they were going to be looking at me for all different reasons one I don't have two black eyes luckily from icing it yesterday but I had new clothes that lion insisted on getting I had no choice he had Natasha force me to take them and now I was walking in with the new boy/bad boy I knew this was going to come with challenges like my social anxiety but at this particular time I didn't care.

 I sometimes sit there and think what would have happened if I had a nice family who treated me right would my life have been different. Would I have met the most amazing guy I have ever known probably not? We went downstairs and had breakfast with the rest of the group and it was the first time I had breakfast well one I didn't have to steal and eat on my way to school which was probably a piece of fruit or a granola bar but I never once had a sit-down breakfast before it was like I had changed in the last few days being with lion was like a change that I needed.

 We finished breakfast and made our way for the cars to get to school when we reached the gates of the school. My heart thumping in its cage as I eyed down the school fear built a mask over my face as we walked to the building, my feet heavy, thoughts jumbled in my head as I started to remember the last day I went to school. beads of sweat started to form on my brow when a warm hand curled in mine and my heart stopped thumping and my breaths began to even lion noticed this as he stroked the inside of my palm and shot me safe looks.

 We made our way in with our hands interlocked, looks darted to us as we walked in. I have never had so many eyes staring at me at once and I felt overwhelmed but lion gave my hand a squeeze and I calmed down and instantly felt the weight of the world fall off my shoulders. the school bell rang profusely as it made students jump from their places next to their lockers. When we reach the classroom, we took our seats with lion moving and sitting next to me he shot a smirk when he moved next to me as the class fell silent and Mr. Kirt got on with the lesson when I heard a faint whisper in my ear.

"don't think you're going to get away with what you did this morning," he said with a hint of a smile on his lips. I chuckled at the words.

"What is so funny miss fern?" I sank in my chair.

"nothing sir" my cheeks went red at the sheer embarrassment from the conversation.

Why does lion always do this to me and why is it that I'm the only one that gets caught when he talks to me. I turned around after Mr. Kirt dismissed my reaction and punched lion in the arm hard, he flinched and turned to me.

"what was that for?" He says faking hurt and pouting in my direction.

I shot him a death stare and he seemed to get what I was trying to get across. the lesson ended and tons of students made their way for the door and spread out into the small halls causing chatter to bounce off the walls as it sent you into a trance the way people can interact with one another and share their deep dark secrets as I have spent my entire life trying to hide my scars and the truth from people. my inner voice was dying down as did the students in the hall. I didn't notice how long I had been standing out in the halls until lion dragged me to the classroom before the bell rang.

"Where were you? I was walking to class thinking you were following behind but when I turned you weren't there" he looked at me with shock and sympathy.

"sorry I got caught in my thoughts it won't happen again" I started trudging towards the seats in the room.

I was tired and with my head jumping to all these memories and that made it overwhelming.

lion's pov:

she looked different when I went back to her. her eyes had sunk and her posture was sagging I was starting to worry when she went over to the seats and sat in it, I knew I couldn't blame her she had been through shit now she had to return to the one place she used to call safe haven which had turned to her living nightmare with everyone staring probably isn't helping I know how she feels about attention she avoids it like the plague. 

I wanted so many questions to be answered but I couldn't bring myself to do it because I knew it would take her down a dark route that she probably doesn't want to acknowledge. I fell in my chair next to her and placed my hand on hers and soon her head was on my shoulder. Miss Cartwright had put a film on for the last two periods so it was peaceful for her. she looked so relaxed and it made me feel good that she felt she was safe next to me but my mind just kept focusing on her facial features the way her face was scrunched at the sound of the movie I wasn't until I looked into her eyes could I see the silent tears drop from her precious eyes and down her face like a waterfall. I broke my heart.

"hey sweetheart what's the matter" she sat up and looked me in the eyes.

"I don't like being back it brings back too many memories I don't want to remember" she turned back to the board and rested her head back on my shoulder.

but this time without crying. she was now the most prized thing in my life as I kissed her forehead and the looks that were shot were weird, I knew this would get out by tomorrow but I didn't care maly was the only person I cared about right now in this moment so if a kiss will make her feel safe and better then I will do it.
