Protection/ Bucky Barnes

Greyhound

(Your POV)

Vincent and I get to school safely, we walk into our first class. History. We sit down in front of some girls.
"This is my favorite class, if you struggle I can help you" Vincent whispers to me so we don't get told off, I mouth "thanks" before listening back to the teacher

We are in the middle of the lesson when we hear the girls behind us snickering, I glance over my shoulder to look at them and one of the girls makes a face. I scoff and turn back to the front 'how childish' I think to myself. "Take no notice of them" Vincent says smiling at me.

The class finishes and we head for morning tea, we go outside and sit under a tree sharing food and talking about movies and video games. "Okay that's a good movie but have you watched the Star Wars trilogy" Vincent asks me "of course I have" I laugh "who hasn't?" we burst out in laughter.

We carry on laughing at ourselves before we hear someone clear their throat, we look up and see the girls from behind us. "Hello?" I question "what are you laughing at" they ask. I give them a confused look "why does it matter to you?" I ask looking to Vincent as if asking if he knows why they are here, he shakes his head. "It doesn't matter to me I just want to know" she says with a snarky tone. I look up amused "well maybe you should stop being nosey and mind your own damn business" I say rolling my eyes and going back to talk to Vincent.

He laughs as the girl scoffs and walks away "that was weird" he says putting his lunch away "I agree" I say copying his actions.

We get up and start walking to our next class before Vincent is pulled by his pack pack and slammed into a wall, I turn around and see a moderately tall buff dude and the girls who approached us earlier "hey man what the fuck do you think you're doing" I yell pulling the guy off of Vincent who slides to the ground. The boy looks down at me and smirks "I'm just beating up your little friend here, got a problem-" I punch him in the face before he can finish his sentence. I pull my hand away and clutch it in pain while mumbling swear words. The boy pulls me by my hair and and holds me up against his while the girls repeatedly punch me, I struggle to get out of the boys grip, Vincent gets up and punched the boy in the face and his grip loosens while he punched Vincent, I push the girls over and then the guy and grab Vincent's hand and we run out of the school, blood dripping from our faces.

We get to a near park after running for a bit, I look at Vincent and he has a bruised eye and cut lip, I hold his face to get a better look but he winces. I apologize. "Are you okay" I ask brushing my thumb over his cheek. He nods. He looks at me and places his fingers under my eye, I close my eyes and I feel a tear slip, he wipes it away "it's okay let's get you cleaned up" I nod and we begin walking to the tower hand in hand.

I'm safe with him
