"Where did you get that?" I asked her. She furrowed her eyebrows as she looked up at me "Get what?"

"That bruise" her face turned still. She looked away "I'm just, clumsy...that's all" she rubbed her arm in discomfort. "Bullshit" I muttered as I gripped the steering wheel.

"Who gave you that bruise Juliet?" I asked in a stern voice, while staring striaght at the road "You can't just assume that someone gave them to me, Apollo. I mean, what if I just fell in dance class" she looked out the window "Juliet, I'm not stupid. Don't make me ask again" I looked over at her.

She sighed "Look, my dad just gets drunk sometimes and he gets a temper. It's really no big deal. It doesn't even hurt that bad."

Just to think that someone would put their hands on MY Juliet, enrages me. I can't breathe. All I see is red. But...I can't scare her. I took a deep breath and loosened my grip on the steering wheel.

"Look, if it gets worse, I'm gonna step in" I looked in her eyes. She stayed quiet but nodded.

I dropped her off and went to work. I kept thinking about the bruises I saw. He's hurting her. Her own father. She'd probably hate me if I killed him though.

That morning I couldn't pick her up. Her old man was taking her to school.

I got to school and saw her. She's wearing grey sweatpants with a black turtleneck and, of course, my chain.

I saw that she was talking to somebody. When I looked over to see who it was, I saw that it was a guy. What the hell is he doing by my girl? I started watching them like a hawk and I walked over, slowly.

They're laughing. He put his hand on her shoulder, moving it down her arm and grabbing her hand. Hell no. I ran over. I cocked him in his jaw and beat him to the ground. I could hear Juliet calling my name. But I didn't care.

Administration and the school police pulled me off of him. "Don't ever touch her again" I spat out right before they got me off.

I had handcuffs on and was waiting in the little police office in the school. When they weren't looking, Juliet popped her head in.

"Hey" she whispered. I looked her. She's so beautiful. I just wanna spit in her mouth and tell her how pretty she is. But, I smiled at her. She pulled out a cookie. "I got you this from the cafeteria" I thanked her "I missed you at lunch today" she gave me the cutest little puppy eyes.

This girl is gonna be the death of me. We talked a little then she dashed off before she was caught.

Good thing the kid knew what was good for him and didn't press charges. So, they released me by the end of the day. I'm the schools biggest sponsor, so I basically just got a slap on the wrist.

He deserved it. No one touches MY Juliet.
