 The day went past without much excitement. I then went over to Madison for some good girlie catch-up which was defiantly needed but I missed Joe more than I thought I would it was like the bitter after taste that you didn’t concisely realise until it was removed. The next day Joe was not there for first or second lessons with period I didn’t have third period with him so I didn’t know if he was there but when lunch finally rolled around he was there but I gasped out loud when I saw him I was so shocked.

 His arms and legs were covered in bruises and he had a black eye when he saw me he walked silently over to my table and gave me a hug. “What happened” I exclaimed in a shocked voice “nothing” he replied “honestly I’m fine” he said when I gave him ‘the look’ “no you’re not!!” “Look can we please talk about this later and I promise I will tell you everything” “yea sure” I said as the bell rang and I walked slowly off to endure the horrors of gym. I texted Joe when I got home but he didn’t reply I must have sent him like ten messages!! But still nothing so I decided he must need time so I would make him tell me at school tomorrow had a shower and went to bed with still no new messages.

At school I saw him in second period but we had a test so there was not exactly a chance to talk then in period three we had another test great..... At least he couldn’t avoid me at lunch well not easily anyway. As we left the class he reached out to hold my hand. “So what happened? No rubbish I want to know straight out!” I said sternly pulling my hand away until I got an explanation “come on then” he said and pulled me from the school grounds down to the park about a mile down the road when we got to the park.

 He sat down on the bench and began to explain “okay I will start from the begging, I was walking down the road the other night when suddenly I was pulled into an alley I couldn’t see and I didn’t recognize the voice but they told me to stay away from you and I said  no that I couldn’t he said I better try I denied that and said I couldn’t and that if the guy thought he was being tuff by pulling me into an alley then he was an idiot that’s when the hitting started as I refused to stay away from you he said he would find you and I hit him then he hit back it went on for a while but in the end we both collapsed.

 I woke up there in the morning but he was nowhere in sight whoever he was. I quickly ran home and cleaned my face and changed my clothes I didn’t know if I could face school to see the horror on your face when you saw me the worry but I knew it would be worse if I stayed away as you would worry about if I was okay so I stayed away first and second period trying to reduce the swelling  I got to school just before the bell rang for lunch I told no one the details only that I had got in a fight they all said good one me thinking I had won the fight but then you saw me and I saw the horror sweep over your face and I couldn’t even tell you I got in a fight so I shrugged it off and ignored you I’m so so sorry it took me this long to figure out why I couldn’t get over the incident and then I realised it was because I need to tell someone and that someone is you.”

I hadn’t realised I was crying until Joe whipped the tears away with his thumb “please don’t cry” he said rubbing my back “ I am the reason you got beat up I am the reason you are in pain it’s all my fault” I said beginning to sob “ no don’t you ever say that you are the reason I get up each morning you are the reason I do everything your my whole life don’t you dear blame yourself for this it is none of you fault, none you hear me?!?”  I sniffled and nodded “I love you forever and always” he said suddenly “I love you too” I replied leaning my head against his chest “come on, school time” he said suddenly. “Ugh” I groaned as we began I walk back to school.

We got to school seconds before the end of lunch bell and walked hand in hand to our next classes the day went by slowly and after school we both headed off to my dance class this was going to be embarrassing I thought to myself. When we arrived at my lesson I got a few fun stares and people wondering why I would possibly bring a guy here to watch me dance unless I wanted to scare him off. I went and got changed into my dance outfit a belly top and leggings with jazz shoes I then went in to the dance studio and did stretches on the bar I then followed the steps of my dance teacher to a routine I did some solos as I could really express my true self when dancing I forgot about my surroundings and just danced.

When dance had finished I got back changed and went to go meet Joe “so what did you think?” I asked embarrassed and dreading his answer “you where amazing you are such a great dancer I can’t believe I have never seen you seen you dance before!!” his answer surprised me “thanks” I mumbled and we walked to his car hand in hand.  As the car purred to life Joe leaned towards me and surprisingly pressed his lips to mine. It was a short kiss short but sweet I smiled up at him and his answering smile was dazzling he was amazing, beautiful, handsome, charming, smart and all any girl could want in a guy and so much more. I loved him and as extraordinary as it seems he loved me too nearly but not quite as much as I loved him. It was if we were made to be together I would always love him no matter what forever and always there was absolutely no doubt about that.
