Alex's POV
I woke up the next morning and checked my phone and saw a reply from Mitchie.
Goodnight Lex. I'm sure they will be ;) xoxox – Mitchie
Wow. She had bold moments. But when she texts it's most of the time.
I decide to get up and ready since its Friday. We got here on Monday and I started on Tuesday thankfully. Monday I was wreck, I was tired, upset and angry. All because I we left New York and I had to leave Harper behind. But so far Texas has been pretty awesome. Nice weather, it still gets crowded places just not like New York and the neighbours are amazing.
After showering and getting changed (after looking at the weather) and it is really hot. I decide on jean short-shorts and a band tank top. I walk downstairs and have cereal. My family ask me questions like "How was yesterday next door?" or "What's their family like?" so I answer them avoiding the part where Mitchie announces I'm her girlfriend and when Sonny and some other members of her family walk in on us at a bad time.
After I finished breakfast I said bye to my family and decided since it was nice, that I would walk to school. I get my IPod out and press play from the last song that was played. My music taste is very wide. I love rock and pop but I'll listen to others as well, I just like good songs. I listen back into what's playing and I smile as it's an amazing song.
You keep me on the edge of my seat
I bite my tongue so you don't hear me
I wanna hate every part of you in me
I can't hate the ones who make me
I'm married to the music
For better or for worse
As I start to get into the song someone jumps on my back effectively knocking out my earphones. I hear the giggles of someone more amazing than a song.
"Hey Stutter" I say while turning my head so I can see her while she's still on my back. "Want a piggyback?" I ask her and I see her nod her head.
"So tired." She grumps as I bring my arms under her legs. And jump so she is on my back not leaning off it.
"Aw, did you dreams of me keep you awake?" I tease as I begin walking again.
"N-no." She stutters out to me. I just laugh and walk to school.
"Why are you not in the car with your mom?" I ask her. But I'm happy she's with me.
"Because I-I saw you w-walking and I s...Said I'd go with you." She tells me as she leans her head on my shoulder.
"That's cute Stutter. Want to listen to music?" I ask as I look down at my earphones. She nods and picks them up and puts on in my ear and the other in hers.
"Really Alex? This song?" She asks as she presses play. I begin to laugh.
"I like the song." I say as I begin to sing along
"Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me maybe."
I laugh uncontrollably as I hear Mitchie sing along too after complaining about it.
After a lot of singing. Quietly from Mitchie too. We finally get to school. We get a few odd looks from people and I realise that Mitchie's still on my back.
"Uh Mitch wanna get down?" I say to her.
"Nope." She says. I just sigh and drop my arms from her legs, which wasn't a good thing as it caused her to fall and choke me slightly. She landed on her feet, so I'm still a good girlfriend I hope.
"Are you okay?" I ask her as I turn around and see her playfully glaring at me.
"No," She says making me panic in case I hurt her. "I could have hurt you." She finishes as she stands up and brushes off the dirt on the floor.
"Don't say things like that, you made me think I hurt you." I say as I put my IPod away.
As I look back at Mitchie, I realise she's wearing shorts too and a band t-shirt. This is cute we're both wearing clothes of the same band.
"Mitch, we're both promoting the same band." I say as I point between our tops.
"Oh, that's weird and cute. We both like We The Kings." She says to me.
"Duh, who doesn't like We The Kings?" I say to her, not expecting an answer but get one but not from Mitchie.
"Uh people, who have good music taste. That's who." Tawni says looking at us in disgust.
"Oh yeah, that music that talks about sex, drugs, alcohol and being a mom at fourteen. Yeah Mitchie that music is the best," I reply sarcastically at Tawni. "Why didn't I realise that music like that describes you best Tawni." I say as I tilt my head when I looked at Tawni.
"Oh, you better watch not only your back, but you're little disgusting girlfriend." She says as she turns around.
"Yeah you need, to check who you were describing there. My girlfriend," I say as I wrap my arm around Mitchie, "Is beautiful, funny, kind, sweet and my Stutter." I say making Mitchie hide her head and for Tawni to flip her hair and walk away from us.
I turn to face Mitchie and her face is white.
"What's wrong?" I ask her as I take her hands. When she doesn't answer I cup her cheeks so she can look at me. "Have they done anything to you before?" I ask her dreading the answer.
She nods as she looks in my eyes and I see tears forming in hers. "T-T-They, a...Attack-ed me." I hear her whisper out.
"Are you being serious?" I ask her. I swear Tawni and Miley might not see the end of the day.
She nods her head and breaks down in front of me. I wrap my arms around her and pull her in close, while she grips my top like there's no tomorrow. I rub circles on her back to soothe her and calm her down. She pulls away slightly and I wipe away the remaining tears on her cheeks and kiss her forehead.
"Mitch, I will not let them touch you at all." I tell her when I look into her eyes so she knows the truth.
"O-Okay, b...But do-don't get y-yourself h...Hurt." She tells me, as the bell goes
I chuckle at this, "Only you can tell someone that at a time like this." I tell her, I kiss her lips and take her hand as we walk to her homeroom.
When we get there I kiss her and say bye to her. As I'm walking up to homeroom, I have a feeling someone's behind me. Just as I turn around I'm knocked to the ground by Miley.
As I look up I see Tawni walk over to me. "I did say to watch your back. You don't do a good job," she trails off at she kicks me in the stomach, making me double over. "Well at least you're keeping Mitchie safe. What do you see in her? She's a pathetic, stuttering freak!" After she finished that I was able to punch Miley. Wrong move Alex.
After that I just gave up, Miley was relentless, I just became numb, Miley didn't stop until the bell went and I just lay there. As Miley smirked and left. All she had was a bloody nose. I'm sure I was worse. People gathered round me, shouting for a teacher. I finally hear a voice I know.
"Alex! Let's get you to the nurse." As Sonny helps me up and supports me as we walk to the nurses.
"Mitchie's fine." Is all I can say to her, knowing she's freaking out on the inside.
"Oh thank God. It was Tawni and Miley wasn't it?" I nod to her question. We slowly approach the nurses. But the door is closed, so she has someone in there.
Just as we get there, the door opens and out struts Miley still with the smirk clearly on her face.
"Oh Alex what happened? Someone finally get some sense and do that to you?" She says, missing the fact that it's Sonny with me.
"Oh, Miley you have a detention for a week. And I know it was you. So don't think about denying it." Sonny says menacingly. She scares me so much a lot of the time.
After me being cleaned up by the nurse and checked for breaks, I could finally leave and it was break time. The minute I step out the nurse's office, I feel a pair of arms wrap around my neck and I'm yanked into a hug.
"Alex!" I hear Mitchie shout as she pulls me into the hug. A bone-crushing one at that.
"Mitchie, I'm still in pain." I say breathlessly. She pulls away quickly only top attach her lips to mine. I'm so not complaining. Okay Alex hormones, control them.
She pulls away and looks at me with nothing but fear in them. I just want to wipe away that fear, but what they've done to her I don't blame her feeling like that.
"W-What did t...They do?" She asks me as I take her hand and walk to a bench outside.
"Miley tackled me to the ground and held me there when Tawni spoke, then Tawni kicked me. She finished what she was saying and then Miley just well did this," I say as I show her the visible bruises, knowing there will be a lot more. "I just went numb." I tell her as I finally look at her again.
She has silent tears falling down her face as she listened to what I said. I lift my hands up and use the pad of my thumb to wipe them away.
"I won't let them hurt you again Mitchie." I tell her sincerely.
"B-But they-they'll try." She tells me as she sits closer and leans her head on my shoulder.
"I know, but I won't let them Mitchie. If I have to go through them doing this to me every day, I will." I tell her as I kiss the top of her head.
We sit there in a comfortable silence with her head on my shoulder and our hands linked together. Even after what's happened I feel content and happy with Mitchie. It's crazy what she can do by her presence.
After a while the bell goes and we have English, so I can at least slowly walk there, since Sonny was the one to find me. Mitchie stands up and offers her hands to help me up. She's so sweet.
We begin our walk to English, which takes at least five minutes.
Mitchie's POV
I can't believe Miley and Tawni did that to Alex. Scratch that I can believe it!
We walk to English at Alex's pace which is slow, cause her stomach is in the most pain she told me as she stood up. Well she more groaned it. Which was oddly hot. Mitchie, she's in pain, not in pleasure!
When we get to my mom's room we knock and wait for her to open the door. She smiles at us and lets us in. It took everything in me not to slap Miley and Tawni. I know it's not like me to do that, but Alex is my girlfriend.
"Okay, let's get back to work. Who finished their song?" My mom asks. Nobody raises their hand. She knows not to pick me. "Alex, did you?" She looks at Alex, and in response she nods her head. "Would you sing it?" She asks hopefully. Alex sighs quietly and nods her head.
She stands up and limps slightly over to the front of the class. "Uh, just the chorus?" She asks my mom who nods her head. I see Alex sigh before looking up.
"Well stop and erase
Cause I'm gonna wipe that smile
Off your know it all face
Laugh while you can
Yeah live it up
And read my lips the joke is on you
I figured it out
You're all about walking tall
On the people you knock down
Well, stop and erase
Cause I'm gonna wipe that smile
Off your know it all face"
Alex finishes and the whole class bursts into applause. She has a smirk on her face because the only two not clapping are Tawni and Miley. And she wrote that song about being better and standing taller than the two of them.
I smiled like an idiot and so did my mom.
"Alex that was amazing. So guys you could tell the emotion coming across was determination. So I want those who haven't finished their songs," My mom trails off looking at certain people in the class, "I want you to finish them for Monday, no exceptions!" She finishes as the bell goes.
For me the rest of a day went fine. Me and Alex got and A on our science project, I passed a pop quiz in maths and I had a good day. For Alex it involved being late for class but they understood. Tawni and Miley trying to aggravate her even more and she was happy about the science project result. It was her first A in a subject that isn't art.
We decided to walk home since it was still hot and sunny. I took her hand and led her to the park where I go to a lot.
"So, it's Christmas soon. What do you want?" Alex asks me as we sit down on a set of swings.
"Nothing, as long as I can celebrate it with you," I tell her as I take her hand again. "What do you want?" I ask her this time.
"The same as you, oh better grades would be good. And also for your mom to have better timing," She says, winking at me causing a blush to appear on my face. "Do you ever go a day without blushing?" Alex asks while giggling slightly at me.
"Glad you find i-it funny. And no you make me blush." I say to her, turning my head to look at her and I see she's wearing her trademark smirk.
"Oh do I now?" Alex says as she gets off her swing and walks in front of mine. Stopping me from swinging.
"Y-yeah, just some things you say." I tell her trying my best not to stutter. I then feel Alex place her hands on my thighs.
"What things Mitchie?" She says in a husky voice, drumming her fingers on my thighs.
"Things, like, you know." I mutter out to her.
"Oh, are you meaning this that make you nervous?" She says and stops drumming on my thighs. "So, by that Mitch you mean sexual things." She states making me blush harder.
I nod my head and drop it so she can't see my face. That plan didn't work as she cups my cheeks and lifts my head. I look into her beautiful deep brown eyes and realise blushing works in my favour. She leans in and places a slow passionate kiss on my lips; I respond and kiss back with just as much passion. After a while of just simply kissing, we decide to go home. After the events of today I know that I'm lucky to have Alex in my life at least and that with her I'll be safe. I hope the months leading up to Christmas will be amazing and less pain filled for Alex's sake.
