After the talent show and a serious scolding to the band by the school counselor, school was let out immediately for spring break leaving me with a lot of free time. I need to figure out how I want to spend it. I get snapped out of my thoughts when Corey grabs my waist and spins me to face him.

"Jesus Corey! You scared me!" I laugh and hit him lightly on the shoulder.

"Oops?" He smiles and kisses me.

I lean in closer and he wraps his arms around my waist. "I love you so fucking much Joey..." He runs one of his hands through my hair, looking me up and down like I'm a snack to devour. I shiver as that same hand moves down from my waist and rests on my ass. A smirk slowly spreads across his face. I try to hide my smile.

"Corey. Fucking. Taylor." I hear someone grumble from behind me. My smile falls and I immediately freeze.

"Fuck off shithead." Corey retaliates to the person over my shoulder.

"I'm still really fucking pissed at you." the person snaps back.

Corey pulls me behind him and I see anger flash across his face.

"Corey..." I say softly as I put a hand on his shoulder. He takes a step towards Sid, shaking my hand off.

"Let me be with my boyfriend in peace Sidney." He says in a warning tone.

"Hey guys... Lets take it easy..." I try to get their attention.

"You're just hurting him more by staying with him." Sid gets up in Corey's face. Corey pushes him back, and Sid punches Corey in the face in response.

"Guys please!" I say desperately trying to get them to stop.

"Just because you put on a pretty little show for Joey doesn't mean everything's all better!" Sid shouts at him.

I can see Corey trying to hold himself back, learning from last time that I don't like violence. Sid clearly doesn't remember as he punches him again but this time right in the nose. Corey holds his face in his hands. I see the same look as the day when the boy was beating me, flood into Corey's pretty blue eyes as the blood from his nose drips onto the concrete.

I can't watch this-

I race to Corey's car and start it up, speeding it out of the lot and down the street.

Don't cry don't cry don't cry-

I feel like I'm going to be sick as I speed down the almost empty road. I don't want to know who wins that fight.

I drive considerably over the speed limit down the highway, not knowing where I'm going. My mind is clouded and my eyes are teary. Flashing red and blue lights are the only thing that snap me out of my haze. I sigh when I realize that It's the fucking police. I pull over and put my hands on the wheel, waiting for the officer to come over.

I end up with a hefty speeding ticket. Not to much surprise. I drive back to Corey's, defeated. I see him on the front steps of the porch with a big fat black eye, smoking solemnly. I shut the car off and slowly get out. I see relief wash over him as he throws the cigarette on the ground, stomping it out with his foot. He rushes over to me, engulfing me in a giant hug.

"Joey..." I hear his voice crack.

Is he crying...?

I look up at him. His eye is swollen and it looks like it hurts bad. His lip has a big crack in it where it was split, it's still bleeding pretty bad. And there's dried blood that trails down his face from his nose and lip to his jaw.

"I'm so sorry-" Tears run down his face.

"Corey it's ok!" I say with sincerity as I walk him back to the steps and sit down.

"No it's not! All I do is mess things up!" He cries.

I pull him close and rub his back. I never thought the roles would be reversed between us... He hides his face in the crook of my neck and cries. I hold one of his hands and run my other though his soft blonde hair.

He slowly calms down, his shoulders stop shaking and his tears stop. He hugs me tighter and whispers.

"I'm such a fuck up..."

"No Corey... You're perfect."
