Every Song Tells A Story (Montgomery De La Cruz Oneshots)

Invincible - Crossfade (Monty's POV)

I memorized all the words for you but if you only knew
How much that's just not like me
I wait up late every night just to hear your voice
But you don't know that's nothing like me

Lynn changed my whole life, my whole entire being. I went from an angry, asshole, man whore, jock to a guy that's hopelessly in love with his girlfriend. She came into my life during a time that I felt like I had no one. I had enough of Bryce's shit and we fell apart. I lost anyone who was a mutual friend of ours because they took his side over mine. I had already lost the good guys like Jeff, Zach, and Justin because I'd done too much wrong for them to want anything to do with me. I quit the baseball team. I spent my days completely alone, other than getting my ass handed to me by my dad... until Lynn came to me. She was friends with Hannah, then she became friends with Jessica and Sherri once they got out of the popular crowd themselves. Then she became friends with Jeff, Justin, and Zach once they followed Jessica and Sherri's lead. All of the jocks always noticed that she was beautiful but because she was sweet and laid low, none of us ever really noticed her. She came and sat with me in the courtyard one day 8 months ago during lunch because she'd noticed that I was always out there by myself. It took me by surprise that she even approached me and even though I played it cool, that one little action started to melt my cold heart. Ever since that very first day, she's had me wrapped around her tiny little finger. I fell in love with her from that very moment.

You know I wonder how you already figured out, All these things that I tried to hide
All this time I been hoping you don't find out
All these things that I hide on the inside, I cant be held responsible this is all so new to me
Just when I think I'm invincible
You come and happen to me

I used to feel nothing but anger. Every second of every day, I was angry about something. I never felt vulnerable, I never felt weak. I damn sure didn't feel emotions except anger and the occasional happiness which only ever came from someone else's pain. Now I feel all these emotions that I'm not used to feeling. I feel real happiness, I feel love, I feel scared of losing Lynn or of something happening to her. Where I used to be invincible, now I'm vulnerable and weak. Parties are the scariest for me because he's there. I know what Bryce is capable of and if he ever tried to hurt my Lynn, I'd kill him with my bare hands. I've never felt so protective over another human being in my life. Honestly, I've never really given a shit what happens to anyone as long as it didn't affect me. With her though, everything affects me. She is everything to me. I was playing beer pong with Jeff, Zach, and Justin since they'd let me back in because of Lynn. I was trying my hardest to pay attention to the game but I couldn't stop myself from constantly watching Lynn with Hannah, Jessica, and Sherri by the pool. "Y'all don't uh.. worry about them being over there by themselves?" I asked the guys'. They followed my line of sight and chuckled. "Believe it or not, dude, but we don't all think that our girls' are gonna die if we're not standing next to them every second." Justin chuckled in response. "Lynn's not as delicate as you think she is, man. She's fine." Jeff added. I tried to convince myself that they were right and nodded with a sigh before finally tearing my eyes away from her and paying attention to the game. Ten minutes later, just ten fucking minutes, and my girl yelling at someone caught my attention. "Don't fucking touch me, perv!" We all whipped our heads in that direction and saw Bryce standing next to the girls', trying to wrap his arms around Lynn's waist. I ran over there, pushing past everyone in the process. Once I reached them, I shoved him back as hard as I could. "Don't ever fucking touch her." I growled at him. He smirked with a chuckle and put his hands up. "Woah, brother, we were just having some fun..." "I'm not your fucking brother and we both know what your idea of fun is." I interrupted him in the same growl while taking a step forward. "Oh, I forgot, you don't know how to have fun anymore..." "I never participated in your idea of fun." I interrupted him, raising my voice. Lynn looked at me confused because even though she'd heard the rumors about Bryce, I'd never confirmed them to her. I didn't want her to look at me differently since I knew for so long and did nothing about it. He stared at me with ice in his eyes before scoffing and walking away. As soon as he was out of my sight, I grabbed Lynn's hand and pulled her away with me. As soon as we got into the bathroom, I shut the door and felt like I couldn't breathe. My mind was swirling. He touched her, he could've hurt her. "Okay, Mon, you need to sit down." She soothed while trying to make me sit down but I just kept pacing the bathroom. "He.. he could've..." "I'm fine, babe." She assured me while wrapping her little arms around my waist. I looked into her eyes and tears started falling from mine quickly. She looked at me shocked because it was the first time she'd ever seen me cry before. "Monty.. what are you so upset about?" She asked me confused while placing one of her hands on my cheek, I leaned into her touch immediately. "Bryce is a bad fucking guy. He was gonna try to do something to you and if anything ever happened to you... I'd..." She interrupted me with a kiss. I melted into it and started to feel better. She always has such a calming power over me. "I get it, Mon. You don't have to say anything else." She softly smiled at me after we pulled apart. She knows that I'm not good with emotions, so she usually figures out what I mean on her own and doesn't make me come out and say anything. I wrapped her up into a hug and I sighed in content once her head was on my chest. "I've never been scared of anything in my life but now.. I'm scared of everything when it comes to you." I admitted. She squeezed me at my words before responding. "I know the feeling."
