Bullied and Broken. A Magcon Story.

Laurter: Chapter 2

"My name is Lauren", I reply looking down.

"Hmmm... Laurter. Do you like it?", he looks straight into my eyes and I swear he can see into my soul.

"No it's Laur-", I stop seeing him look down ashamed and embarrassed. It was all over his face and he was blushing like crazy. I mentally face palmed myself when I realized that would be our ship name and that he just basically asked me out. Worse than that I just said no. Well we did just meet, in the woods not to mention. What if he is a creep?

"Oh. Sorry", was all that came out in the smallest whisper ever.

"Nonononono. I thought you were trying to say my name not our ship name. Arg. Why do I have to fuck everything up?" I mumbled the last part.

   He sits down right next to me and while side hugging me he speaks "Hey. No you don't. What would make you think that?" I go to hug back but stop because I don't want to get blood on him. He picks me up and we make our way over to the small puddle. He takes off his shirt, his WHITE shirt, dips in in the water and cleans the blood off of my arm. He was leaning over me and we were extremely close. I stared into his dreamy eyes, then looked down at his abs. HOOOLY SHIT. Sorry I had to let that out of my system. "So would you like to explain these or will I have to force it out of you?", he looks serious. I suddenly flinch, and cower. I don't know why but the part about forcing it out of me scared me.

"Hey what's wrong I'm not going to hurt you", he says, pity taking over his natural voice. He actually looks concerned. A look I could barely recognize considering nobody is concerned for me. Why would he be? I slowly relax as I feel his embrace. His warm bare arms strongly wrapped around me.

"Nothing. Don't worry its not your fault" my voice is extremely quiet. Unlike the voices heard somewhere in front of me still deep in the woods. It wasn't that the voices were close it was just that they were loud.

   I suddenly rip myself from Carter's grip. He looks confused and sad. He must not have heard them. I sprint off into the woods. I run and run until I hear footsteps being me. I really hope its Carter and not any of my bullies. A sudden branch causes me to fall. Face first. Into mud. Wow. Now I'm really living up to the nick name "Pig".  I feel my wrist being pulled and look up to see Carter. THANK GOD.

"Why are we running", he whispers and I giggle at him saying "we". I didn't ask him to come but he did. I could tell he was worried about me and I liked it. He took the wet bloody shirt and wiped off my face.

"Did you hear the voices?"

"Yeah so?"

"When you asked about the scars.. Well I am almost positive to my bullies". He clenched his jaw in anger and it made me happy to see him worried about me. It also made him extremely cute.

"If I ever get my hands on them-"

"Shhh" I take his hand and pull him behind some bushes and trees to make sure they wouldn't see us. They were loud as hell walking past. They all of a sudden got quiet and I started violently shaking for fear they found me. Then they bust out laughing. Somebody must've told a joke.

"Why are those bushes shaking?", I hear Nash's voice. SHIT. I look at Carter and he sees how deeply scared I am. I don't know if he did this to save me or if he had his own motives but he shoves me down and gets on top of me and starts madly making out with me. He put his hands on my face to cover it and be sure that they wouldn't recognize me. I open my eyes a little so that nobody knows and suddenly Cameron amd Adrian appear. Since when did Adrian hang out with these dicks? I hope he doesn't recognize me because if anybody were to recognize me it would be him. He is dating my only friend, Natalie. Not to mention in 5th grade we used to have a thing but it never got serious.

"Oh my god. Get a room that's disgusting." Cameron's voice.

"What is it?", asked a curious Jack.

"Some nasty couple", Adrian answers. I silently thank Carter for his quick thinking.

"Come on let's go", I heard Aaron's voice. I hear a whole shitload of rustling and finally they're gone. Carter gets up.

"You're a good kisser", he whispers. I giggle and playfully shove him.

"Really? That was my first." My first kiss was Carter. My first kiss was Carter. My mind sang.

"Don't worry that was only to save your ass." he said. That kinda hurt but I knew he thought I didn't like him so I didn't take it hard. "Sooo who were they. I want to know what to carve on their gravestones", he said in the same serious voice he used last time. He gets up and holds his hand out to lift me up. When I'm standing he reluclently takes his hand back but I look at his face and take his hand in mine. I see him smile and blush and my heart melts into a puddle.

"Taylor Caniff, Aaron Carpenter, Jack Gilinsky, Jack Johnson, Nash Grier, Mattew Espinosa, Cameron Dallas, and Adrian Gonzalez. But don't worry about Adrian, he's actually a friend. I don't know why he was with those dicks", my voice slowly got quieter. His grip gets tighter so I hug him.

"What school do you go to?" His curious voice is literally the cutest. We start walking back the the tent.

"Samuel Smith North bridge." I respond.

"Oh really? I go to South bridge", he says and I laugh. "I'm thinking about asking my mom if I can transfer though, to North Bridge." I instantly get happy but then sad. I don't want him to be bullied for being friends with me.

"What if they pick on you too?"

"Its worth it if it means I get to see you". I instantly start blushing.

"No its not."

"Yes it is. Argument ended. Don't say another word."

"If you really knew me you would know its not worth it." I am then lifted up and thrown over his shoulder. He starts running back to the clearing while I insist that he puts me down. He finally does but he lays me down and starts tickling me. I bust out laughing. "Stooop", I say in between giggles.

"Only of you repeat after me", I nod because I can't speak I am laughing so hard. "My name is Lauren and I am beautiful", he speaks. He stops tickling me allowing me to talk.

"My name is Lauren and I am beautiful."

"I am not a waste of space."

"I am not a waste of space." his face suddenly gets serious, like dead serious.

"I will never cut again because I have people who love me." He must really not know me.

"I will try to never cut again because I have people who love me". He starts tickling me again, just a little bit. He then pulls me close and hugs me, and we watch the sun set together. When its fully dark I crawl into the tent.

"Arent you going home?" he seems generally confused and shocked.

"No my dad kicked me out". He gives me a sad look. He pulls out his phone and starts typing. His phone whistles and he looks at the screen and smiles a little.

"Come with me", he says.

"No Carter I don't want to be trouble"

"I said come with me. Remember last time you didn't listen?", I did not want to be tickled again. He helped me up like the gentle man that he was and I got my backpack and pulled on my sweater. I turn around and seen him squating in front of me. "Hop on my back".

"No Carter I'm too fat". He spins around at a speed where I expect to get smacked. I flinch a little but he doesn't notice.

"Gurl. Do you see these abs? Do you see them? I know you did earlier because I saw you checking me out." I blush like mad. "No get on my back", he squats again. I sigh and give in. I hold on tightly and slowly fall asleep on his back. It has been a very long day.
