After school had let out I started walking carrying my skateboard in my hand and my bag in the other.I had my earbuds in my ears and kissin' on my tattoos by August Alsina was blasting in my ears. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even see Anthony stand right in the middle of the sidewalk until I walked right into his midsection. I looked up and blushed bright red to see his purple eyes staring down at me. He leaned down and pulled me into a hug and pulled out a gun and aimed it behind me into the trees." don't move okay?" He said softly in my ear as he removed my earbuds. Before I could say anything I heard gun shots. I felt His arms tense around me. followed by a loud male scream from the trees. He suddenly picked me up and helded me close.

"Are you okay" I asked softly. he stayed silent and just carried me to a parked car. I could see that it was full. " I'm taking you home okay?" he said as he opened the driver side door, and got in while setting me on his lap. I felt him place his hand on my inner thigh. I slightly blushed and hid behind my hair. " ayee boss who's the girl?" A male voice said from beside me. Anthony stayed silent and drove. everything was silent only the roar of the car was heard. He took his time driving I felt his hand tense up while he was driving. I looked up at him and saw that it looked like he was having a mental battle with himself. I noticed that he had past our street and was heading towards the other side of town. " I decided we're just gonna go hang out at the mall." He said with a soft smile touching his lips.

I just nodded my head and stayed silent the whole trip. I didn't understand why he was so nice to me for or why he turned down Sarah  McDanel. He was god like. He was perfect. but why would he want someone like me? I guess I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't notice that we had pulled up to the high priced mall. We got out and he sat me down on my feet and grabbed my hand. " hope you don't mind holding my hand." He said looking down at me. " it's cool." i said hiding my red cheeks from his view. " come on lets go inside and out of the heat." He said as more cars pulled up and people hopped out. They all came and stood behind Anthony as he we started walking towards the large building. There was about twenty-two of us give or take a few people.

Once inside we all went our own ways. Anthony took me to get some ice-cream at this little shop. He looked down at me. " What you do you like? get whatever you want you can have. it is on me." He said softly. I looked at the options of flavored ice-cream A smile came across my face as my eyes landed on my 2 favorite ice-cream flavors." you can get both if you'd like." He said leaning down into my ear. I smiled up at him. He stood up straight and looked at the girl waiting for our orders." she'd like a double scope. One butter pecan and the other superman.....And I'll have the same please." He said to the girl. She Smiled and quickly fixed our ice-cream bowls and handed it to us. " that will be 5.50 please." She said . He just handed her a ten dollar bill." Keep the change." He said with a smile before leading us over to the table and siting down by the window. 

    

    He looked at me while I ate my ice-cream." Tell me about yourself." He said softly as he ate his ice-cream. I stopped eating my ice-cream and looked at him." what's there to know. I'm an outcast I don't fit in anywhere. " I said plainly as I instinctively rubbed where my scars were. His eyes locked on to my arms. He gently moved my hand and rolled up my sleeve to show my ugly scars. Some were still bleeding and some were healed. His face turned angry at the sight. " Who did this?" He asked calmly." I did...." I answered calmly. " I did it to take the pain away." I said continuing where I left off. He looked me in my eyes." why? Why cut your self for?" He asked softly. I sigh softly." It's the only way I can feel again....I been beaten down for so long that I've became numb to the senses. I hold no regrets or regards to myself doings cause I do what people do to me emotionally and turn it into physical wounds...." I said not looking into his eyes.

   

    He got up slowly and pulled me up with him."Come with me and let me clean that up for you please." He said softly not looking me in my eyes. He pulled us to the back of the ice-cream shop into the bathrooms. He picked me up and sat me down on the sink. He grabbed a few paper towels and wet them. He gently cleaned the bleeding wounds. He pulled off his shirt and he was in just a tight muscle shirt that hugged tight to his body. He ripped the shirt into thin strips and wet them. He began to wrap my arm. I watched as he moved gently around my arm. Once he was done he gently pulled my sleeve down over it and lifted the front of my shirt up to show the fading black bruises on my stomach." Who did this to you?" He asked. His voice sounding stained. I quickly pulled my shirt down feeling self-conscious about my bruised body. " Like I said I don't fit in anywhere. and that's how they show it." I said softly.

    He sighed and picked me up and carried me out the bathroom. " we're going to change that." He grumbled under his breath. I didn't argue or ask what he meant, I just went along for the ride. He had sat me down on my feet and held my hand and started walking. I was looking around at all the shops when I stopped and looked at this beautiful necklace. It was white gold linked chain, and on the end was a beautiful purple that matched Anthony's eyes amulet with a white gold wolf howling. " you want it?" He asked softly in my ear. I looked away from the shop window to him." I can get it for you." He said. " You don't have to do that." I said. He smiles and grabs my hand and pulls me into the store. " Hi how may I help you?" a red haired girl asked as she came up to us. " Yes I'd like to get that necklace in the window." He said with a smile. She nodded her head and went to get the necklace.

    "Here you go. It's the only one of its kind." She said as she handed him the necklace. " I'll take it." He said not looking at the price tag. She nodded her head and went to the register. We followed her. She ranged it up." That will be 800.56, will that be cash or debit?" she asked. He smiled." cash." He replied pulling out a stack of money as big as his fist. He handed her 900 dollars." keep the change." He said as he gently took the box from her hand and turn to me. He took it out the box and pulled my hair gently away from my neck and played the necklace over my head. I shivered when the cold metal touched my skin." There." He said happily as he released my hair. I smiled. "You really didn't have to do this." I said as he grabbed my hand and led me out the store.

    He didn't say anything but just smiled at me. After hours of us walking around and him buying me things that I didn't want him buying. like now I have a whole new wardrobe of clothes and shoes. He got me a seven different colored beats headphones, twelve new skateboards, some pictures of us just joking around. By time we was ready to go it looked like he had bought out the whole mall." I guess I should take you home." He said as he pulled onto our street after dropping off his friends. " Yeah I guess so." I said softly from his lap. I still didn't understand why he still had me there when the front seat next to him was empty. He seemed at ease with me being there. He pulled up into my drive way and opened his door and let me climb out. He popped the trunk and grabbed my bags." I'm still surprised that all of that fit in there." I said as I watched him close the trunk softly with like a hundred bags on him.

    "you'll be surprised at how much more can fit in there." He said with a chuckle and I couldn't help but here a secret meaning to his words. I had a feeling that he had a secret.... a big secret. I'm gonna find out what it is.
