Juliet's POV
It was Monday morning and I got changed in my house. "Honey, come down" I heard my mom say as I walked down the stairs. My eyes went wide when I saw Henry leaning on a wall eating one of my mother's homemade cookies. "You never told me you had a boyfriend sweetie"
I gulped and said "we just started dating this weekend" "oh time is time, you're lucky to have such a handsome young man in your life, who hasn't committed any crimes" "right" I finished, still shocked. "I came to drive you to school babygirl, well, Patrick and Victor are in the car already" he spoke up as my 8 year old sister ran and hugged Henry and said "you're cute" and giggled as I smiled. "Josie I think that's my boyfriend" I chuckled as Josie pouted and say "come over more often" as we left.
"Sorry about them" I spoke as I sat on Henry's lap in the passengers seat. "Your sister is adorable" he spoke as I smiled. My smile faded as Henry felt me tense as we got to the school. "Hey, if anyone bullies you or anything, we'll kick their asses" Patrick said and smiled as Victor nodded. Once we walked through the school doors, everyone created a path for us. I saw the losers staring at me "I'll talk to you at lunch" I mouthed as everyone nodded but Richie. I felt Henry's arm snake around me as Gretta glared at me.
Henry glared back as I felt her walk up to me and say "hey whore, I thought you were sleeping with the trash mouth, wheezy and jewwy, but you've also added on Bowers, lot of STDS coming your way" she finished but she has nothing to add on before I slammed her head into the lockers. I grabbed her by her collar "live your life, and I'll live mine" I stated.
She laid on the ground bleeding as I kicked her head hard into the lockers and walked up to the Losers. "Guys, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do this, he out of the blue asked me out and I really did not want to take my pills at that time, and plus I need someone." "You fucking had me wrapped around your finger, this is the first time I've ever loved a girl and you just threw me away" Richie said and left with the rest of them.
"Everything alright" I heard the guy who made all my friends leave me say "I guess, apparently Richie had a crush on me, but it's fine, I'm with you" I replied as he smiled and softly kissed me. We sat in class as I felt his hand slip itself into one of the rips in my jeans and softly rubbed my thigh.
I sighed thinking about what happened with Richie and looked down. Henry noticed and intertwined his fingers with mine and kissed the back of my hard. I looked over at him as he wrote a note to me. "why the sad face, gorgeous?" I read the words in my head as slightly smiled at the gorgeous part "I can't help but think about what happened earlier" I passed back to him. He furrowed his eyebrows and wrote "with the bitch Gretta or with Tozier?" "Both I guess" "well listen baby, everything is gonna be just fine, I promise, no matter how many heads I need to chop off" I bit my lip and smiled.
I felt another note on my desk "I slept with Henry the day before you got here ;) - Gretta" I growled and glared at Henry. Once the bell rang I stormed out of the classroom. "I was thinking we could skip the next class, or ditch school, whatever you want princes-" "why don't you stop telling me bullshit" I yelled as everyone stopped to stare. "You told me I was the first girl you ever liked, but you had to fuck Gretta the day before I got here" "what the fuck are you talk-" "cut the shit Henry, you're just trying to get in my pants" I ran off.
Henry's POV
I stomped over to Gretta "you and I both know that we never did that!" "I love hurting her" I pulled out my knife and put it to her throat "if you don't fucking tell her I'll murder you"*that night*
Juliet's POV
I heard a knock at the door as my mother couldn't get it because she was tucking Josie in. I opened it and saw a shaking and crying Henry. My heart shattered into millions of pieces as I shut the door and held him tightly. I grabbed his hand and led him to my room. "What happened babe?" I asked softly, my hands rubbing up and down his fit muscles. "M-My dad he, he abused me, and this time it hurts so bad Juliet it hurts so bad" he spoke up as I knew it was serious when he said my name.
"I don't want to seem weak though" "Henry, listen to me, you will never seem weak to me, do you understand? Where are the marks that your dad left?" Henry hesitantly whispered "my back." I stood up from my bed but kept his sitting there, so his face was in my chest. I began to un button his shirt and swiftly slid it off his shoulders and down his arms.
I softly grabbed Henry's hand and pulled him to his feet, his tall frame covering me. I placed my hands on his warm waist and gently turned him so I could see his back. Once I saw the inhumanly things his father did, I gasped. I cleaned he blood off with wet rags, then grabbed a pain relieving and disinfecting ointment and began to rub it on the scratches.
"Just do you know, my love, I didn't do anything with Gretta, she admitted to me today that she did it to try and hurt you" he spoke shakily, as if he was expecting for me to yell. "I believe you Henry" I muttered as I kept fixing up his back. I handed him the red tank top he let me have "this is yours" "just use it til your shirt is washed" I chuckled.
We laid there for the rest of the night, holding each other in a tight embrace. The amount of love that was shared that night, was so incredible to me, and I loved it.
