Truth
The sun blinded my eyes as I woke up the next morning. I could hear the bell for school ring and realized I was going to be late. As I rolled over to get out of bed I saw I was surrounded by grass. I quickly sat up and looked around, I had slept in the same spot Seth left me. Quickly I jumped up and ran toward the gates. Davis stood outside of the walls. He looked at the ground as I ran up to him.
"Hey." I said quietly.
"Hey." His voice was irritated. He took a puff of the cigarette and blew it up, not looking at me at all.
"Can I bum one?" I asked trying to get him to look at me. He reached into his chest pocket and pulled out his pack. He took one out and tossed it to me. "Oh, full flavor. Geeze are you trying to kill me?" I tried to joke. He too one more puff and flick the butt into to road as he turned to walk away. I reached out and grabbed his hand. He whipped around quickly, his eyes were bloodshot. "Lighter?" He sighed and reached into his pocket, he held the lighter out for me to take. I lit my cigarette and held it back out for him. "Please talk to me." I begged as he grabbed it and started to walk again.
"About what Sapphira? About how you don't trust me enough to tell me a prefect is trying to get in your pants? Ugh why? I just don't understand how you could just let it go. I want to protect you and all I'm doing is being oblivious to the fact that a guy is trying to get into my girlfriend's pants because she doesn't trust me enough to tell me." He walked back out of school grounds and walked toward the path. I quickly followed him until he stopped abruptly. He kept his back to me. "I want you to trust me, and to be honest with me. Were you just going to wait until he raped you then tell me?" I tried to take a drag from the cigarette that trembled between my lips.
"Davis he would have hurt you." I whimpered. He spun around showing me the tears sparkle on his perfect cheeks.
"I don't care! I would do anything to protect you! But now I see it's for nothing!" He cried. I knew what I had to do, no matter how hard it would be to do it. I walked up to him and placed the cigarette between his lips and hugged him tightly.
"He started telling me he would punish me to have detention with him, he pulled me into the AV room and tried to get me to do stuff with him but Bucky walked in, and yesterday he tried to drag me into the janitor's closet." I spoke quickly so I wouldn't have to think about it for too long. He pulled me back and looked into my eyes.
"Yesterday?" He asked biting his lip. I nodded as he pulled be into a tight hug. "I knew I shouldn't have left you alone." He sounded so angry with himself that it made me sad. I was the one who told him to go. He angrily kicked the ground causing a cloud of dust to rise. "I promise no matter what I will never leave you alone again." He said with his eyes narrowed at me.
