Chapter 8
That feeling of being scared did not describe my emotions right now. It was worse.
"Get off her you fucking moron!" I closed my eyes and felt Daniel being pulled off me, I didn't open them, not even a little bit.
"Don't you...ever...fucking...hurt her...again." Each word was said after a punch or kick, I don't know, I chose not to look. I heard someone cough as if they've just surfaced from being drowned. Then, a pair of hands landed on my shoulder, I squealed and kept my eyes shut, but the hands just rubbed my arms.
"Claire relax it's just me, it's only me. Open your eyes, Its just me, I won't hurt you, neither will Daniel. If he ever touches you again I swear I'll make him wish he was never born." The voice said. I fluttered my eyes open, adjusting to the light and scene in front of me. My eyes landed on Daniel who was slumped against the water fountain, wiping blood off his face. Then I looked at the person in front of me.
Todd Woods. Todd Woods was in front of me, kneeling in front of me. His hands on my arms, rubbing it in a comfort motion, I looked into his eyes and saw a twinkle. His soft, pink lips forming words I couldn't listen to, because I was concentrating too much on his physical appearance. He was a Greek God, so beautiful, I don't know the words to describe it.
"Claire, are you okay?" I snapped out of my haze and looked at him properly.
"Uh .y-yeah I'm. F-f-fine." I stuttered. Fudge pops, I stuttered in front of Todd Freaking Woods.
"Are you sure? Do you need to go to the nurse?Did Daniel do anything to hurt you? Do you-"
"I'm fine Todd chill out for a sec." I snapped, his expression went sad as if I scolded a 4 year old for touching a batch of cookies that weren't supposed to be eaten before dinner.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Yes I'm okay, I don't need to see the nurse. No, Daniel didn't hurt me, just forcefully kissed me." I mumbled and sneered Daniel, who was walking hazily to the nurses office.
"I didn't mean to snap, I just don't really like being worried about. It feels...weird." I pouted and I swear I saw him bite his bottom lip.
"Oh..okayy then..if you're sure you're okay?"
"Yes, I'm totally okay." I held on to the locker knob and hoisted myself up with a little help from Todd. I looked up to him, darn my shortness, he was so close I could feel the warmth from his body radiating off him, grabbing me in closure and comfort.
