I Would Take A Beating For You

It's happening

Richie

Me, mom and my Aunt's and Uncle drive home in an awkward funk. They chased me down 25th street for 4 blocks. We get home. I walk inside in a huff. "Richie this wedding is happening wether you like it or not!" Mom yells. I run to my room make sure to slam my door. I sit in my room throwing a tantrum til I realize that im 14 not 4.

I leave my room with the intentions of apologizing since I was kinda being an asshole when I see a "Save The Date" for Steve and Mom's wedding hanging up on the fridge. The date is for two weeks from now. I panic and run upstairs again. I pace back and forth before I panic and call Julius.

"I know we broke up but I really fucking need you right now!" I shout as he answers the phone. "Hey hey hey breath. What's the problem?" Julius says sweetly. "It's happening in two weeks Julius my life is fucking ending!" I say between panicked breaths. "Deep Breaths Richie, in through your nose, out through your mouth." Julius says.

I calm down. "I'm sorry. Don't let us be over." I sob. "It's okay, Bleeder, we were never over." He says. "I know a way to fix you steve problem." Julius says sternly. "Come over." He adds. "Be there in 5." I say.

Richie shows up to my house quickly. I've devised a plan to get Steve sent to jail. "First we take pictures." I say. Richie tilts his head. "Of what?" He asks. "Anything. Your bruises, your cuts, anything like that." I elobrate. "Okay but what if they pull the 'Steve would never that's probaly edited'?" Rich says exaggerating the last few words.

"Video." I say simply. "Now, you're not gonna like this part very much but we gotta agrovate him." I say. "Basically if the pictures aren't enough, we film him beating the crap out of me and that should seal the deal?" Rich says. "Well when you put it like that it sounds horrible." I say.

Richie giggles. "What?" I ask. "I just kinda think it's hot that you're trying so hard to protect me." Richie says. "Richard Teagan O'Connor are you turned on right now?" I ask. "A little." He says. "My mom's out with Jayla." I say. "Are you saying what I think you're saying Julius?" Richie says placing his hand on my collar bone.

"I am." I say unzipping my hoodie. "Julius Rome Manni, take my virginity." Richie says ripping my shirt off and throwing himself on top of me. I run my fingers through his hair. "Wait, what if your mom comes home?" Richie asks. "She knows how to knock." I say. Richie gets. "I fucking love you!" Richie screams.

--------------------------

Richie rests his head on my bare chest. "Your mom's gonna be home soon." He says. "So what? We're teenagers and we were alone, this was set up from the start." I say smuggly while playing with rich's hair. "What would do if I got a haircut?" Rich asks. "Not even gonna lie I'd be kinda pissed." I say. "Well Steve says it has to be cut for the wedding." Rich says.

"Well this wedding isn't happening. Something has to fall through. They planned this whole thing in a few weeks." I say in complete denial. "Well my aunts kept their bridesmaid dress, the venue is one of those cheap outdoors ones, Mom bought a floor model dress, and they got a license last week. They world wants me to suffer." Richie says.

"You're safe as long as you have me. Now let's get dressed and catch this motherfucker in action." I say determined to end this abuse once and for all. Before Richie puts his shirt back on we take pictures of his cuts and bruises then we head out.

"Okay lets go over the plan." I say as we approach Richie's street. "He sees me with you gets mad, fights you a little I record, send to the police, Steve gets arrested. He cries, we laugh, and get fro-yo." I say.

"Why fro-yo?" Rich asks. "I dunno. I've never tried it but it sounds fun." I say like an excited little puppy. "You are such a doof." Richie laughs. Richie looks away from me like he's hiding tears. "Hey you alright?" I ask. "I'm just really scared." He says. "What if this doesnt work?" He says. "It will." I say with determination in my voice. "And if this doesn't work then I'm breaking you outta here". I say.

Richie turns to me. "Huh?" He says. "The legal system is fucked up if this doesnt work so lets just go. Run off. Escape. Just be Richie and Julius. That's all we need. Eachother." I say. "I would lo-STEVE!" Richie shouts realizing that Steve was coming up behind me. "Please let's not do this!" Richie screams pushing me behind him.

"What the fuck did tell you about hanging out with......HIM!?" Steve shouts angrily, grabbing Richie by the neck. I can't just let him do this. I push Steve. He grabs me and slams me on the ground knocking me unconscious.

"JULIUS!" I shout as I see my boyfriend lying on the ground. Steve keeps on hitting me until my endless pleading for mercy is answered. He lets me go and I fall roughly to the ground next to Julius. "Wake up!" I shout shaking. I keep on screaming and shaking him. "Come on babe wake up! Please!" I scream. 

He opens his eyes slowly. "Oh Julius baby! I thought I lost you!" I say embracing him tightly. "It's ok. I'm ok." He says stroking my hair. "I'm ok." Julius says. We lie on sidewalk for awhile enjoying the warmth of eachothers bodies. I love my boyfriend.
