Teacher

Chapter 28

Nicks POV

The bell rings and everyone scurries to their next class. But Brandon stayed. I was hoping he was going to tell me what happened.

"Why did Carter get called down there with you Brandon?" I asked.

"I will explain everything this afternoon. It is all okay. We are going to get out of this," he says wrapping his arms around my neck. I then fit my arms around his waist. The things I could do to this boy... I dig my face into the vrook of his neckand we just stood there for a minute. Then we pull away and give each other a short kiss.

"I love you," I whisper in his ear.

"I love you too," he whispers back.

Brandon tells me goodbye. I know I will see him this afternoon but every second away from him I feel empty. He walks out of the room. I saw him stop in his tracks as he takes one step out of the door. I turn and understand why she stopped. There stood Carter, watching it all in shock. I start to feel sick to my stomach when I see the look on Carter's face. Shit.

I'll walk over to Brandon and Carter and pull them both into the classroom. Good thing the school gives 10 minutes between classes. Brandon's face is pale so I know he's freaking out. I place my hand on his back to Comfort him. But I know the last thing he wants right now is for me to show affection to him right in front of Carter.

"So he is the one that gave you the hickey," Carter says. His eyebrow begging to go up. Almost evilly.

"Y-yeah. Carter please don't tell anyone. Nick can't go to jail because of me. Carter ple-," Carter cuts him off.

"So what you're saying is you want me to lie to the principal just so you don't get caught? And on top of that, you want me to fake being your boyfriend so they will believe you the next time just son-of-a-bitch marks you?" He says. Carter laughed at his last sentence What did he just call me? I decide to keep my mouth shut  because I can see Brandon made the decision to open his.

"Listen here Carter, I don't know what your problem is.  Sorry that we can't actually date. You have been in love with me forever and I have never liked you back. But, since you did love me, you should be happy with the fact that I have found love. You should be happy that I am happy. And you should try to protect my happiness as if it was your own,"  Brandon says interlocking his fingers with mine. I don't know why but every time he does that, chills are sent through my body.

"Well, Brandon, if he ends up breaking your heart, which who wouldn't, don't come crying to me. And if the principal ever does find out, then don't bring my name into it I won't tell," he says.

"You have the wrong perception of me if you think I would ever break his heart. I could never and would never. My mom told me that if something is ever broken you should fix it. You shouldn't throw it away. So, if at some point our relationship something becomes broken, we will work to fix it. I won't break his heart," I said holding strong eye contact with Carter. I couldn't tell if it was making him uncomfortable because he kept looking away. But I didn't. Because I meant every word I said.

Carter walks out of the room it's just me and Brandon for the next seven minutes. All I do is give him a big hug and when spring is here over and over, I love you Brandon Szczupaj. And I always will. After 5 minutes, he gives me a quick yet passionate kiss goodbye and walks to the door. But before he leaves he tells me he loves me too. Then he walks out.

Why do people think I could break his heart? Honestly I could never. Could I?
