I was shocked to see Zach act so violently toward someone. I've never seen him this mad, he's overreacting about this. Sure Michael was flirting..but he was just trying to be nice. "You will never speak to MY girlfriend again! Do you understand you little low life punk!" Zach yelled. Michael didn't even look stunned by Zach's harsh comments. "You don't even know my life and I was just trying to give her some advice" Michael shrugged. This made matters even worse. Zach looked infuriated, his fist rose and Michael knew what was about to happen. He looked away and waited for the punch. I've had enough of this, it has to stop now. I quickly stood in front of Michael, "stop being a asshole Zach! Michael is my friend okay? I'm allowed to have friends right?" Michael looked stunned almost like he couldn't believe that I stood up for him. "Why would you wanna be friends with a bum like him" Zach questioned. Michael quickly interrupted "I was just trying to make her happy, she seemed pretty upset and I thought it was because of you" Michael shot back. Zach sternly told me to move but I denied, standing my ground and protecting Michael. The next thing I knew I was on the ground, surprised Zach had pushed me down that hard. I rubbed at my sore wrists and looked up to see Michael shocked. "You asshole! You could've hurt her!" He yelled. Before Michael or Zach could throw any punches. I interrupted again "babe can we just go" I pleaded. Zach looked at me and obviously saw I was really upset by this whole situation. "Fine lets go" he grumbled. He violently grabbed my hand and almost dragged me out of the restaurant. I turned around and saw Michael sitting on the ground looking at me with his big sad eyes. I just wanted to turn around and run to Michael and apologize for everything but I couldn't lose Zach. The car ride was silent. He dropped me off at our apartment without saying a word and drove off, he was probably going to his friends house to watch football or something stupid. I stomped inside and kicked my boots off. Collapsing on my bed and closing my eyes, forgetting everything that happened. I was just about to drift of to sleep when I heard my phone buzz beside me.
-
Michael: sorry about tonight ): and I need help with English. Can I come over anytime soon
-
I quickly replied "yeah come now because Zach isn't here, it's just a study session btw". I got a quick reply
-
Michael: okay see you in about 5 min. Oh and Lola.. What's your address
-
I laughed at sent him my address and quickly started to get ready. I applied some mascara to my eyelashes and some eyeliner, I felt a stinging pain on my wrist and I looked down to see 3 bruises from Zach. I had no idea he could be so violent, but he didn't mean it. I covered it up with foundation and walked into the kitchen. I sat down and read my favorite book "skins" until I heard a small knock at the door. I slowly walked to the door and opened it to reveal Michael Clifford. He was wearing a black shirt and skinny jeans, he looked attractive but it was just a study session..right? "Hi Lola. Can we get started now, I have to leave soon" Michael mumbled. I nodded and motioned for us to go over to the couch. We studied for awhile and laughed about English class and some stupid girl who sexts her boyfriend. We laughed so hard my books fell. "Oops" I giggled, I went down to pick up the books and my sleeves rolled up. I quickly put them down so Michael wouldn't see but it was obviously to late . He looked up. "Did Zach do that to you" he gasped. He grabbed my wrist and rubbed it gently, trying not to harm me anymore than I already am. "Yeah but it was a accident" I mumbled. Michael left soft kisses on my bruises, I gasped at his touch "Michael we can't, I have a boyfriend" he slowly trailed his lips up to my cheeks. "It's funny how fast I'm falling for you, I just wanna explore every inch of you and break down your walls, I wanna get inside and see all your flaws Lola" he mumbled. I couldn't resist any longer. I gently pressed my lips to his, he was shocked at first but slowly started kissing back. The kiss was short and sweet. "Michael you need to leave" I whispered. He looked shocked "why I thought-" i quickly cut him off "no we can't, I have a boyfriend and I Love him..this was a mistake." I sighed. He slowly got up and walked to the door. Before leaving he whispered "I'll fight for you" and like that he was gone
