Counting The Stars and Scars

*Max's POV*

By lunch I had found out that I was in 3 of Mikes classes, Biology, English and Music, Vic was in my music too, Tony was in my PE and Jaime was in my Art so all in all, it's not too bad, I couldn't bring myself to speak to Jaime and Tony was quiet like me so that's all good, I was on my way to the bathroom when I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders, I screamed and turned red as people turned to look at me. I heard laughing from behind and realised it was Mike, I hit him with my folders and he gave me a fake hurting face, I apologised quickly and kept walking as I really needed to pee. But Mike blocked me, "Mike move I really need to pee!!" I whined. "On one condition you sit with us at lunch?" I gave him a curious stare, "Who's us?" I questioned him while bouncing up and down on the spot, "Me, Vic, Tony and Jaime" He was staring at me with puppy dog eyes so I finally gave in "Fine, can I pee first and I'll meet you in the Cafeteria?" I pleaded "Sure, catch you later!" He said walking off backwards and giving me a wave while he bumped into the trash can and stumbled over his feet, trying to compose himself. I just rolled my eyes and ran to the toilet.

When I was on my way to the Cafeteria I felt a pair of eyes on me and began to get really conscious, I started walking faster and I could feel this person pick up their pace too then I heard that voice, the voice I was dreading to hear the whole day, Jason's, "Hey babe, where you going?" I ignored him and continued walking with my head down hoping he wasn't speaking to me, I knew he was. " I felt a tug on my hair and I went down. He was towering over me as I lay on the ground in tears "I was talking to you whore!" he spat, he had that evil look in his eye that he had the day he... I was brought back to reality when he pulled me up off my feet, "Now tell me, where are you going!?" "C- Ca-Cafeteria" I stuttered still crying. "I don't think so" he scoffed, "You're coming with me!" I could hear the malicious tone in his voice as he dragged me by the arm up to his locker, he slammed me against the locker and started trying to make out with me, pinning my arms to the locker so I couldn't fight back, he was stronger than I was, I mean he plays football, I read.

I tried to scream and kick but it was no use, I was too weak, then I heard a voice shout "Hey, stop!! What are you doing" I still had my eyes close, I heard Jason growl in my ear "I'll get you next time, slut" and then he disappeared down the hall, I felt someone touch my arm and I flinched, "It's okay Max, he's gone, you can open your eyes now." I did as I was told, and I'm so happy I did, it was Jaime. It was Jaime, he had practically just witnessed everything, I broke down crying, he must think I'm such a slag, oh my god. He held me in my arms as I slid down my locker sitting on the floor with my heads in my hands and my knees pulled up to my chest, "Ssshhh it's okay, he's gone now Max, it's just me and you now" he tried to comfort me but it just made me even more sad that he saw everything, "Y-y-you mus-must think I-I'm such a-a Slu-slut" I managed to cry out, "No" he said calmly as he lowered my hands from my face and tilted my chin up to my face with one of his fingers, "No honey, I saw that was forceful at least it looked like it, no one should be forced to do anything that they don't want to do" that was it, they were the words I had been l waiting to hear, I stared into his eyes and he stared back, his eyes were beautiful, I just gave a simple nod as I sniffled and dried my tears with my sleeve, "Come on lets get you to the Cafeteria" he said as he helped me up and walked me down the corridor to the Cafeteria.

I'm not sure if I've said this before but he is beautiful, and so kind, when I see him I get this really funny feeling in my tummy like butterflies, oh my god what am I saying, I can't be in love with someone after a day, can I? Surely it's just a stupid crush, Right?
