Bulletproof Love

Emily’s POV:

“Where are we at?” I asked Jack who was sitting next to me on his phone.

“I think Illinois” he said.

“We aren’t playing tonight right?” I asked, he shook his head ‘no’.

“We will be at the venue in like ten minutes, will you all survive?” Matt chimed in. We all nodded and continued our conversations. No longer than ten minutes later we did arrive to the venue.
Alex stood up and looked at me.

“I’m going on a walk, do you want to come?” he said. I stood up and followed him out the door. We walked in a complete awkward silence for what felt like forever.

“I’m sorry” he said under his breathe. I looked at him confused.

“What?” I asked.

“I’m sorry for being a dick head to you when we were kids, I am really sorry” he said getting quieter after every word.

“Whoa, I was not expecting that” I said stopping in my tracks. He walked over and sat down at a park bench. I stood where I was.

“I want to give you something” he said looking back at me. I walked over and sat down next to him.

“Here” he handed me a journal that looked just like the one he gave me for Christmas.

“Why?” I asked.

“Open it and read the first entry, I think these will explain a lot” he explained. I opened up the journal and read the first page.

Alex’s POV:
December 3rd,

Okay, something possessed me to write in this stupid journal so I am. It is the first day of a new school, yay. I walked in and had a long talk with some teacher about something that I will probably fuck up later. I am just another screwed up kid who can’t make it work back home so my parents ship me off. The teacher dismissed me and I headed to my first class. I saw a girl with blonde hair and glasses sitting at the back table, it didn’t look like she wanted company so I sat up front. After class I watched the girl walk out really fast and across the hall way, she was quiet, I am pretty sure she didn’t talk. I threw my books into my locker when I heard screaming, I flipped myself around I found the girl laying on the ground, her books scattered everywhere.

“Hey, loser, learn how to talk yet?” One of them shouted. “Answer me you freak!” she sat there silently with no emotion what so ever on her face, but I could tell, she was hurt. “Emily! Say something!” he yelled and then he kicked her side, I felt my blood boil inside. She calmly picked up her books and stood up staring straight into his eyes. She turned away and for a split second she looked right at me before running out of the school doors. I walked over to this guy who was high fiving his friends.

“What the fuck was that for? It didn’t seem like she did anything to you!” I screamed at him.

“Who the hell are you and why are you sticking up for that freak?” he laughed. I couldn’t help myself I punched him square in the nose and walked away chasing after this ‘Emily’ girl. I walked down the road until I saw her sitting at a park by herself. I sat on the swing next to her and started talking.

“Are you okay? I’m sorry he did that to you, you don’t deserve that, no one does.” I said she had tears in her eyes and so did I.

“We’ve both hit an all-time low haven’t we” I said. She looked at me as she ripped out a piece of paper.

‘I’ve been hitting all-time low forever’ she wrote. I looked at her arms which were full of bracelets.

“You don’t talk do you?” I asked.

‘You see what happens when I don’t talk could you imagine what would happen if I did?’ she wrote down.

“He a dickhead” I mumbled.

‘When it happens every day you get used to it’ she wrote again.

“Every day?” I asked.

‘Every day is my all-time low’ she wrote.

“My name is Alex” I said holding out my hand. She squinted her eyes at me and then at my hand. She slowly let me shake her hand; no amount of bracelets could hide those scars on her arms though. I am going to make this girl happy, I swear on it.

Emily’s POV:

“Alex, why?” I asked in shock of what I just read.

“I liked you, and I couldn’t stand myself if I let you be sad” he said.

“I am glad I met you, you helped me through a lot” I said totally leaving out the fact that I tried to kill myself over him.
