Y/N P.O.V


 It's just minutes before the bell and I cannot wait until I get to go home and try on dresses with Sal. It's been pretty hard in my little life. Travis, believe it or not is being pretty distant and I don't know why. I tried asking him, but he always avoids it...I don't bother pushing because I know that it would just anger him.

 Sometimes in my dreams, he becomes his father; abusive, manipulative and toxic. I just shake those thoughts out of my head and pretend that they don't mean anything. I know they don't, it's just a foolish dream, I know it is! Usually dreams mean nothing, so there's nothing to worry about it.

 Well, despite all of those weird dreams, I still love Travis. Who could blame me? Even though he had a bad past, he's more than what I could hope for. I love him with everything I have, but I don't think he thinks the same...

 I've talked to Sal and Larry about it, but they try to convince me otherwise, but isn't that what other people who do, to comfort you? In my opinion, I think he's going to break up with me...What else could I think? That he's going to propose? Yeah right, we've only been dating for like, a week or something. We're also way to young!  

 Walking up to the school doors, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye; Travis being pinned to a wall by these three tall guys who were obviously being rude. Being me, I walked up to them with rage in my blood.

 When it comes to hurting my loved ones, I go crazy. I coughed, making all of their heads to my direction. I spotted Travis and his eyes sparkled with relief.

 Taking a deep breath in, I started to talk. "I don't see how this is related to school, assholes."I spat out, still walking towards the three males. Tilting my head with a big smile to add the creepy affect, I continued."Now, I suggest you leave before I have to lay a hand on either one of you."The breath I held released softly. "Or maybe, it would be better if I'd just kill you where you stand."Giggling, I watched all of the males eyes widened in terror as they ran past me. "Are you okay, Trav?"I asked, changing my mood completely.

  "There's no need to worry about me, Y/N. I'll manage."He spoke with no emotion. He's been doing this lately and it's worrying me. But I'm learning to get over him being like this. It's been awhile since Travis has been showing emotions.

 Finally, I decided to bring it up, for the second time today. "Travis, you've been acting off lately. Are you sure that everything is okay? I-I don't want to press or anything but...I'm just really worried about you..."Then, I just kept going, words wouldn't stop.  "Y-You can tell me if you want us to be done...I can understand..."I whispered, tears were about to fall, but I wouldn't let them.

 Travis looked a little bit shocked from my comment. "Y/N...I can't believe you think I don't love you."Even thought he said this, I still have my little bit of doubt. "It's just that...I've been thinking about...about him."Right as he said it, I knew who it was about; his father.

 He's been using this excuse for a while now and I know it's a lie, but I'll keep letting him use it. So, pretending to comfort him, I rubbed his arm. "Travis...If you need anything, just tell me okay?"I stopped rubbing his arm, but I was still whispering. "Now, let's get home and get some rest for the dance tomorrow, okay?"I smiled at him and stared to gain speed.

 I was in front of Travis now, but walking backwards. "Of course, Y/N."He smiled lightly and went to kiss me, but before his lips could land on my cheek, I quickly turned my head so he kissed my lips.

 I giggled and started to run. "I'll race you home, Trav!"I shouted as I started to run fully, but thanks to my quote-on-quote fitness, Travis easily caught up to me and stuck out his tongue. Goddamn him and his in fit body.

 I wouldn't call myself fat, but I'm not in shape either. Either way, I still need to find a nice dress for the dance. 

 Once we got home, I ran over to Sal's apartment and didn't bother knocking. "SAL! I'M HOME!"I shouted as I walked in, seeing his dad and Lisa on the couch together. So, I guess they're a thing now...That's good for Sal, he needs a new mother figure, asides from Ash.

 "Come on, we're leaving right now so we can take the bus!"Sal grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the apartment room.  "So, I'm just picking up my dress, but you still have to get yours, right?"He asked me, letting go of my hand as he saw Larry and Travis heading out. 

 I giggled. "Well I'll be damned! Travis and Larry, getting along?"Pretending to gasp, I held my hand over my heart for a dramatic affect. Sal just looked at me and laughed.

 "Okay, we should be there for an hour, then we could just chill at mine?"He asked and I nodded my head. "What type of dress were you wanting?"Sal asked once again and I chuckled and playfully punched his arm.

 I then sighed, do I really know what type of dress I want? This isn't like a huge deal or anything, so I should just wear a basic, but good looking dress! "I was hoping to find a knee high F/C one..."I mumbled with blush across my face.

  Looking over I saw Sal nod and hum. "Sounds good! I'm sure we can find a dress like that!"He smiled and grabbed my hand. It wasn't awkward, it was like another brother/sister type of thing. It seems I have that type of relationship with a lot of people...


 I'm just glad that I've been accepted as a friend...And...As a girlfriend...
