"Do you see him anywhere?" I asked Hero looking around. We were at school and we were hiding behind some lockers looking for Alex.

Hero had persuaded me to tell Alex the truth about everything and I was so nervous.

"The douche is supposed to be here any second. Just keep looking" he said.

"Maybe he is not at school today! Haha, how unfortunate. Well, I'm going to be late for cl-" I laughed nervously trying to be slick and get out of the situation I got myself into.

Hero grabbed the back of my shirt and brought me to his chest.

"Jo." He scolded me firmly. His gaze was hard and for some reason is made me want to kiss him. "Don't back off now. You're so close to making everything okay. You can to it, baby" he whispered.

"I can do it" I agreed. 

He smiled at me and pecked my lips for a second making me instantly want more. 

"But why are we hiding?" I asked.

Hero looked around realizing what I had just said.

"Right" he cleared his throat and we both got away from our hiding spot. 

We waited around for a little bit until I saw Alex coming towards us with two of his friends. He hadn't noticed us yet as he was talking to them. 

"Now's the time" Hero said and pushed me to my 'boyfriend'.

I looked back at him for a seconds. 'Go' he mouthed. 

Looking at Hero gave me courage. I had to tell Alex the truth. I was hurting Hero. I was hurting the most important person in my life. I was hurting my prince.

I took a deep breath and went to Alex tapping him on the shoulder. He turned around and when he saw me his eyes lit up.

"Babe!" He exclaimed immediately grabbing my shoulders and bringing me to his side. 

I smiled awkwardly at him. 

"Hey, Josephine" the two guys smirked and waved at me. One of them looked me up and down and bit his lip.

"Um Alex, can I took to you for a second? Privately?" I asked.

"Sure" he said and asked for his friends to leave us alone. As they were passing by me, the one who had checked me out earlier dropped his keys on the floor and when he kneeled down to take them, he smacked my ass. 

I turned my head to look at him, confusion in my eyes.

"Bro-" Alex said but before he could finish Hero was already on my side. He grabbed his arms and pushed them behind his back as he slammed his front on the lockers. 

"What did you just do?" Hero growled at the guy. He didn't answer because of fear. 

"Hero, man. I'm sure it was an accident. Marcus didn't mean it. Everything is okay" Alex tried to save his friend.

No, it's not okay.

"The fuck, it's on okay!" Hero exclaimed. "Say, you're sorry you dickass" 

Next thing I knew, Theo had come out of no where pulling his friend back, saving him from another fight. 

"Bro, can you just chill from beating up people for a second?" he whispered to Hero. 

"He fucking touched her!" Hero yelled making some people around us turn their head.

Marcus mumbled a quick 'sorry' and ran for the hills.
