Lost in time G.D E.D

Part 33

"Your ride,"Ethan greets me with the BMWs back door open when I walk out monday morning.

I roll my eyes and bow to him.

"Why thank you good sir," I sit behind the passengers side and Ethan gets back in.

"Ethans trying his hand at being a gentleman," Grayson jokes.

"It's working," I rub Ethan's shoulder reassuring.

"Gotta woo those ladies," he snorts.

"Gotta woo Grayson first," I smirk and he playfully glares at me.

We listen to Eminem as we drive.

"Are you sure you really want to be seen with us?" Ethan asks.

"I'm not going to betray you just because you're not cool Dolan,"

"You could get hurt," Gray worns.

"I can handle it," I shrug. He pulls into the junior parking lot and we get out.

I see Tori outside of sammys car and she waves.

Sammy looks disgusted so I look away. The minute we get inside Jake and his group of bafoons surround us.

Grayson and Ethan move protectively against me.

"Move it, I want to see the gay lover," Jake glares at them.

"Over our dead bodies," Grayson glares back.

"Come on Jake, Tori likes her," Craig says in a small voice between Him and Matt.

"Tori is ikes everyone," he rolls his eyes. He reaches for me through the boys and yanks on my hair.

Grayson grabs his wrist and scratches at it.

Jake shoves him away and grabs me pushing me into a locker like he did many years ago.

"No!" I scream and kick.

"Stop it!" Grayson screams.

"This bitch needs to learn her place," he pins me by my neck and I know what comes next. I squeeze my eyes shut scared.

What if Ethan can't save me this time?

"No!" Grayson elbows him hard in the back of the head and his face is bashed against a locker.

I pull away and run beside Ethan again.

"Keep going Liv," Ethan  urges me.

"No! We aren't leaving him," I stand confident. Isaiah punches Grayson so he hits him back. Me and Ethan watch close,

ready to save Grayson  if we need to. The bell rings and the boys leave without a word, probably shocked at Grayson standing up to them.

Grayson brushes himself off and he leaves for his drama class while Ethan heads to English, as if that wasn't dramatic enough.

We see Tori and Sammy when we walk in and Sammy glares at me as if she knows what her boyfriend did. I don't know why she would be mad at me though.

Tori sees me and smiles waving. I wave back and avoid Sammy's look. Me and Gray find Patrick and Zack joining them.

"You guys got here pretty late," Patrick points out.

"We picked up Liv and a few white hats cornered us," Grayson tells him.

"You two hit it off pretty well, whens the wedding?" Patrick asks.

"Hardy, har, har, har" I mutter sarcastically.

"Hey everyone," Sammy climbs up onto a table, her hand clenches a balled up piece of paper,

"The new girl is obsessed with the fag," She uncrumples the paper revealing my realistic drawing of Grayson. I cover my face embarrassed and look down.

A few people start laughing. "Sammy! Stop," Tori whisper yells. Patrick sets his hand on my back trying to distract me.

I hear her ball it up again and she throws it at me, it just bounces off my head and lands at my feet, she snorts,

"Fucking freaks," I reach up and yank at my hair frustrated. I start to cry hearing all the laughs and I tear at my hair harder.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck," I whisper through quiet weeps, they get a little rougher and angrier,

"Fuck, fuck," Two hands firmly grab my wrists and squeeze my hands until I release my hair, his grip loosens and he gently pulls my hands off myself.

I look up at Grayson concerned face. Mrs. C comes in and asks why people are laughing so hard.

They point at the scene of Grayson wiping tears from my eyes.

"What happened?" She asks walking over.

Gray stands up and lifts me up, he turns and looks at her.

"Not that you care," he snarls and holds my hand pulling me toward the exit. Mrs. C looks over at Patrick and Zack for an answer.

"Ask Sammy," Zack points in her direction. Me and Gray get into the hallway and he just pulls me into his chest. He holds me tightly and lets me cry.

What started as just embarrassment turns into years and years of anguish, anger, and every feeling I have for the boy holding me right now.

In all the time we were friends I never let him see me so vulnerable, I've never let anyone see this. I didn't even know its possible to be this hurt.

"Why are people like this?" I scream all of a sudden. He moves his hands to the sides of my face and looks down at me sadly.

"I'll kill everyone who hurts you, I promise Liv they'll all pay for doing this to you," he swears to me,

"I'll do anything for you,"

"I don't wanna go back to class Gray," I sniffle.

"We aren't, lets go to the pit and we can relax," he holds my hand again and leads me out of the school. We head across the street to the smokers pit and stand by a bench. He pulls his cigarettes out and offers the pack to me. I pull one out and he lights our cigerettes.

He sits on the bench and pulls me into his chest again. We lay back on the bench and he holds me as we smoke.

"I'll protect you Liv, I swear it,"
