Him

2

Later that day I ended up being bruised completely. I couldn't even speak up. I walked down the corridor to pick my younger sister up who was in middle school. I walked to her locker knowing she would be there. I saw my sister's blondie hair hanging out the locker, I smiled lightly knowing she was alright. I was still at a distance. Suddenly, a group of 4 boys walked towards her. They all pulled her hair and she screamed in pain. Kids started surrounding her.

I can't let this happen to her, not after me. I ran towards them. One of the boys pulled her towards him and was about to punch her, I ran even faster and grabbed my sister and hugged her tight. The boys looked up at me and then fear traced in their eyes. I looked at my now crying sister, I slowly ran my hand over my head cooing her, I looked at the boys with anger. I stared at them "what do you think your doing ?" I asked "n-nothing, w-we were just having f-f-fun" the boy who stood first spoke "y-yeah" another boy said "ask her, L-Lauren tell h-her" he said, I looked at his facial expression towards my sister "I am going to tell you one thing, shove that up your ass. If I ever see you next to my sister, I will not hasitate to slap you across the face" I said the boys soon ran away. I looked at my sister and bent down "hey hey, don't cry like that. My baby is strong right?" I asked and she slowly nodded her head. Her nose was now pink and her soft cheek was watery. I chuckled at her and got up, we walked home.

I slowly walked with her as she calmed down, I smiled when she giggled when a butterfly flew around her. Seeing her smile was amazing. As soon as we reached home we got in and I asked her to fresh out and meet for dinner. She nodded and ran upstairs. We live with our dad. A single dad. "Mom" abandoned us as soon as Vienna was born. She just walked out, walked out like nothing happened. My father was my role model. He is a amazing and protective dad. I haven't really spoken out about the bullying. Not wanting trouble. I sat down on the couch and winced at the pain after a bad beat up in school.

°Next day°

I walked in music class and sat down winced again due to the pain in my back. I sat down rather slowly this time and looked around to see whose sitting in the class. Suddenly I felt two pair of arms wrap around my neck, I freaked and looked behind at my brown eyes and brown hair, Liam Payne "Scared ya much ?" He smirked "leeeyummm" I whined "sorry babe" and he sat next to me and then immediately noticed my bruise due to Zayn on my neck, I saw the anger grow and he turned behind to look at the boys who laughed behind at something unrelated, he stood up and was about to walk "Liam no" I begged holding his hand in mine "don't stop me Tess" he growled, Zayn noticed and stood up "ayy! What's up Liam" he said and smirked purposely pushing Liam's buttons "Do you know what's up !? It's you being a jerk and a bully, that's what's up" Liam growled I stood between Liam and Zayn. Liam standing Infront of me and Zayn standing at a distance smirking and the boys laughing along making fun, I cupped Liam's face in my hands and made him look at me down since I was shorter than him, our eyes met "Liam, he is not worth it. I love you okay ? I don't want you to get hurt not because of me"I said softly and I saw his eyes soften and he cooled down and I smiled. We sat back down while Zayn sat down too and laughed

Soon Mr Wilson walked in "Good morning class" he said and everyone said good morning "so, I am gonna assign you guys a job" he said and the whole class groaned "okay, you guys might find this exciting" he said wiggling his eye brows and everyone looked at me for once "so, I want you guys to make your own song BUT with a partner" Mr Wilson said taking out some paper "SO WE CAN CHOOSE OUR PATNER ?" someone yelled from the back "sadly, no. I am assigning you guys a partner" the whole class groaned and Liam hit his head in his palms and groaned and I chuckled. He looked at me and sadly smiled.

Our teacher started taking names and few seemed okay with their partner and some didn't. Liam was paired with a girl named, Makence. And they got along very well. I smiled being happy for him. "Tessa and .." the name that I was paired with blew the smile out of my face and my eyes almost popped out "Zayn" he said and put the paper down and looked up "okay, you guys can get started and sit with your partner's. I expect the song next month. Thank you" I was still in shock. Liam turned towards me in shock and I looked at him with wide eyes suddenly a voice that made me look up "DON'T PAIR ME UP WITH THAT FREAK" Zayn said and I looked down "excuse me, Mr Malik sit back down on your seat" Me Wilson said looking him dead in the eye. He groaned and rolled his eyes sitting next to me and I looked at Liam at a distance, he gave me a don't-worry-i-am-there-look and I sadly smiled.
Zayn and I sat in silence all the time.

I am paired with a guy I love and I hate
