The pretty boy

Vulnerable

Ondreaz's point of view
-
They ran downstairs
And shouted that they had left grace up there in her underwear and taken her clothes

I was furious

I went upstairs and I saw her standing there, crying, in the pale light of the room I could see her beginning to bruise

They had hit her, they hurt her, and left her in her underwear. Who does that ?

I grabbed a hoodie from my closet
And tried to slip it on her

She sniffed a thanks and all I could do was hold her

She looked so, vulnerable, just standing there
So I hugged her
And held her close

She cried, and that's when I promised myself I wouldn't let them bully her any more

She was funny
Kind
Smart

I liked her
I liked the person she was

And the people at school would go at her, because she wasn't popular

Didn't wear a lot of makeup

Didn't dress in tight clothes

But she was honest, and gentle.

I just held her
For as long as she would let me.

I decided to pick her up, and carry her downstairs to get a drink, she needed it

I gently reached my hands out and grabbed her legs, and cradle carried her downstairs, she was so light.

I could feel her little body go limp in my arms, she trusted me.

She wrapped her arms around my neck, and lay her head in my shoulder

I don't know why the weight of her body in my arms felt so right

It wasn't much, but it felt like it belonged there

I felt like a superhero, her superhero.

I didn't have a shirt on, so I felt every tear that slid off her face onto my chest

I remembered all the fun we had, had tonight, her laughs, her smile.

Damn, I picked up a girls books, and now I was falling for her.

Once we got downstairs I set her down on the couch, she had fallen asleep in my arms

I kicked everyone that was still there out

I gently woke her to give her a drink, she sipped it and fell asleep again.

What was I supposed to do, carry her home ?

I decided it was best.

I carried her little body to the house next door, she was wrapped up in my hoodie, I knocked on the door and asked if I could take her to her room,

And once I had put her down on her bed, I explained what had happened to her parents

Her mom and dad thanked me

I looked at her lying there

"Would you mind, if I stayed here tonight?"I asked her parents "I really want to stay with her, she might wake up stunned"

They said yes

So I lay down in the bed beside her, I felt her ease when I was near

So I went closer

She cuddled up to me

It felt, right

So I fell asleep right there, with this girl in my arms
