Hey Reuce Fans! This story actually started as a SongFic which may be published soon. Hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Shake It Up. This time I do own the idea but it has been approved by my partner, pinksakura271.

Deuce watched as Rocky limped down the hallways he shook his head. What was that boyfriend of hers doing to her?
Of all the people in school, why did he have to choose her?

"Rocky?" He called she turned around and smiled at him.

"Hey Deuce " she replied.

"Do you wanna go to the movies with me after school today?" He asked. She sighed,

"Sorry, but Logan and I have...plans" she said wincing.

"Oh, well OK then," he said reluctantly.

As she walked away, Deuce shook his head again. Whatever Logan was doing to her was wrong. And it was evident on Rocky. She was always depressed, always scared to talk about it. Whatever 'it' might be.
It angered Deuce that he liked Rocky and knew he would look after her without doubt. Why should she have to suffer when she was so perfect and pretty? She deserved someone better than what she had: a greasy drunk.

Finally, the bell went for class. Deuce had chemistry with Cece. Oh joy.

"Hey Deuce" the redhead said to him flirtatiously. He sighed.

"How many times do I have to tell you? I don't like you. At all!" He cried.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. You're in love with Rocky." Cece scoffed. "Even though she is happy with Logan!"
Deuce frowned. 'Happy' wasn't the way he would put it.

"whatever Red" he told her.

Time skip-After lunch

Deuce felt his fists clench as he watched the byplay between Rocky and Logan. He was hidden cleverly between the lockers.

Rocky looked terrified from her position on the floor as Logan glared at her.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to talk to another boy?" he yelled.

"Zero, sir" Rocky whimpered.

"That's right." He growled. "But here we are. Now, I don't want to talking to anyone now not even your friends. And especially not that Martiez scum. Understand?"

"Yes"

"YES? YES WHAT?"

"Yes, sir"

"Too late. I have to punish you"
As he raised his hand to hit her, Deuce imagined stopping everything and saving her from Logan's cruel abuse.
She 100% deserved real love. Definitely not this. Deuce imagined wrapping her in his arms and her being safe from her boyfriend, if you could call him that.

Time skip-End of School

Deuce walked home that night. He was, as always, thinking of Rocky.

"How can I help her!" He asked himself. If she were his, everything would be different. She would be happy. Heck, he would be happy! Eventually he went to his uncle.

"Hey Uncle Frank" he said walking into Crusty's. His uncle looked up.

"Hey Deuce!"

"How do you win a girl's heart?" Deuce asked. Frank looked up surprised.

"Well, when I was your age, I was so handsome, a girl would just fall in love with me!" he joked.

"That's funny Uncle Frank, but I'm being serious here." Deuce replied sternly.

"What's up?" Frank asked. Deuce sighed.

"Sorry." he said sitting down at a booth. His uncle followed in suit. "It's just, I'm in love with this girl. But she's taken."

"Well then," Frank said. "that's final my boy. If this girl's taken, she's taken. Nothing you can do about it."

"But she's not happy!" Deuce cried. Frank raised an eyebrow.

"How do you know?" He inquired. Deuce shook his head.

"I just know" he said finally. Frank nodded thoughtfully.

"Here's an idea..."

Hope you enjoyed the first chapter. Review and tell me if it's too short.
