Hurt

So suddenly, you felt his soft lips on your cheek.

That's the first time he or any guy had kissed you apart from your dad. You froze for a moment.

"Tell me (your name) what happened?.... please" he whispered in your ear.

"Nothing... I... just fell. I'm o-okay" your voice trembled.

You were always bad at lieing, but you just hoped JB would believe it.

JB let you go, but his hands stayed on your shoulders. "You did NOT fall...." he whined, jaw clenched. He took a step away from you turning his back to you, hands on his hips.

You stared at his back silently.

"Okay.. why are you being all secretive about this (your name)"

He turns to look at you again. "You couldn't have fallen.. what into? A table?" He scoffed.

You realised he wasn't buying your lie. You unconciously bit your lip nervously. "Ahh" your hand coming to your lip as you dabbed it. It was bleeding again. You realised you had to add a bit more detail.

"No..while running up the stairs to the main doors here, I tripped and my head landed on the edge of one of the steps and-"

He began to push back your hair completely now and touched your forehead as he searched for a brusing there "I don't see no bruising or cuts here."

You stared at him quietly wondering what to say next.

"Tell me... who did this to you?" He tapped your arm impatiently.

You drop your gaze.

"You can tell me.. who hit youuu~ I'll beat their ass" he held you in his arms again, rubbing your back.

"No you can't~~"

"Why not? Was it a guy or girl?" You felt him kiss your cheek a few more times, this time it warmed your heart and then one of his hands stroked your hair.

"I can't say.. Please. We need to get to class."

"No.. we aren't going back till you tell me what happened. No one gets to put their hands on you like that" JB rocked the both of you side to side gently still hugging you.

A tear slipped out your eye.

"I... don't want you to fight them."

"Them? So there was more than one?"

You looked up at his face, his jaw clenched tightly.

He saw the tears in your eyes and his face softened.

"I can't see you hurt like this and not do anything (your name) you have to tell me so I can make sure it don't happen again." He leant his forehead down to touch yours.

You closed your eyes. Realising you were cornered now. You couldn't make up any more excuses so you took a deep breath and decided to tell him.

"I... got mobbed. It was two guys." You felt him tighten his hold around you and you pushed him away gently.
"D-Dont... that hurts" you whine and rub your hip. And his hand touches your hip and he rubs it too.

"Oh no~~ Fuckin cowards! Where did this happen? On campus?" His eyebrows were furrowed.

You shook your head quickly. "On my way this morning. 6am I left the house. It was still a little dark then and I thought I could come in early and cram in a bit of last minute revision before my last test of the year in 2nd period. It... was under that bridge 10 minutes away from here."

"Do you know who they were what they looked like?" He wiped away a tear that escaped.

"Why are you like this? It just makes it more difficult for me- I mean what's the point it already happened I blacked out I don't know who they are and it won't happen again because I won't be going on my own anymore especially not at that hour. My dad can-"

The Bell rang for first period.

"For sure you wont be going on your own that's because from now on I'm picking you up and dropping you. And what do you mean why am I like this? I care for you (your name) I care for you a lot-"

"I know you do. Thank you. Really.
B-But it doesn't help me JB. I'm... never...."

"Never what?" He looked confused

"I'm not ever going to be anything more am I? Especially not when girls like Sarah are much more beautiful-"

"You crazy crazy girl!" He smirked, then exhaled through his nose. "When have I ever cared for girls like Sarah hmm?" He hugged you, resting his face in the crook of your neck.

"B-But she said you were looking at her constantly and that she was going to get a kiss from you today." while you said that out loud you blushed deeply.

JB let you go chuckling. "And you believed her?" His hand slipped into yours.

"I mean... why not? Every guy drools over her... even if she has fake boobs"

He chuckles at you saying that and you chuckle too.

"I'm not every guy sweety" he began to walk and pulled you with him.

You followed silently

You both got to your English class.

"JB.... (your name) it's not usual for the two of you to be late like this. What's going on?"

"Sorry sir. Something just came up. It won't happen again." JB told, then quickly turned to look at you.

"I'm sorry (your name) I know you don't like PDA, but I have to do it while I have the courage in me" he cupped your face with both hands.

"JB.. What do you-"

You heard a pencil snap in half. Your eyes traveled over JBs shoulder and you saw a fuming Sarah stood up in her seat with a pencil snapped in half in her hands.

"I want us to be more than friends from this day onwards" JB whispered, bringing your focus on him.

Your hands came up to place on his, not to remove his hands away from your face but to make sure he didn't pull away.

"I-I would... like that too" you whispered back blushing.

JB leaned down closing the gap and kissed you, but he was really gentle, being aware of your busted lip.

The rest of the class wooped, a few of the guys whistled and Sarah sat crying while her friends tried to comfort her.

"Now Now s-sudents... settle down. SETTLE DOWN!!!!" the teacher screamed as he banged his ruler on the desk.

JB pulled away from you. The both of you couldn't wipe the smiles of your faces.

JB then pressed his lips into your forehead. Then he took his cap off, placed it on your head to help you cover your face a bit more from the bruises, grabbed your hand and lead you to the back of the classroom where the two of you took your places beside each other.

You were about to let your hand go from his, but JB held onto yours and gave it a tighter squeeze.
