SHAUN'S POV

It had been 3 months since Andy and I started dating. 3 months today. I couldn't wait to see him after school. It has been the best 3 months of my life. Andy makes me feel so much better, happier, safer.

At the end of the Period after the bell rang for recess I was walking out of the class room outside and heard footsteps coming up behind me.

I turned around to see Micheal, Chris and Darren following me.

"What did you do to Andy you faggot?" Micheal said.

"N-nothing. Leave me alone." I answered bravely. I never answered them. Always just kept my mouth shut. But it was to do with Andy.

"No. You leave Andy alone. He might be gay but we will make sure he will never be with you. Why would he want to anyway? Your so fat and ugly and emo and ew!" Said Darren to me meanly.

"I don't care." I mumbled.

"Good." Said Micheal and he swung and punched me in the stomach. "I saw that your eye was black the last time we bashed you. Me and my boys did a good job yesterday. Let's do it again today. Maybe even better." He said as they all gained on me. One of them grabbed me and threw me into the wall. It hurt. I slid down wincing and sat on the ground trying to recover. Next thing I felt was a kick to my head. Then more and more kicks and punches. They didn't stop until I acted unconcious to trick them to leaving. I couldn't move much anyway. They bashed me till I was a bloody mess sprawled across the floor of a deserted corridor.

They finally walked away and I got up and headed to the bathroom.

I hide in a cubical again just like almost everyday and got out my blade. This time I carved 'Gay Emo.' into my arm getting deeper with each letter. Blood pouring from my arm and onto the floor. Joining the rest of my dry blood there from years past.

My arm stung as I walked out with my sleeve still up not caring what people thought. I walked towards Andy's group of friends people staring at me along the way. Andy was smiling and had a girl sitting on his lap but looked uncomfterble.

"A-a-andy?" I stuttered tears still falling down my face.

His head snaped over to the sound of my voice straight away the rest of the group looking after with shock expressions. Including Micheal Darren and Chris.

As soon as Andy saw the bloody mess I was tears filled his eyes and he pushed the girl off him and ran towards me.

ANDY'S POV

Stupid Brooke thinking she can sit on my lap like some sort of small dog. I guess she is a dog. A female one.

I wasn't paying much attention to the convosation going on just smiled so it seemed like I was.

"A-a-andy?" My head snapped up as soon as I heard Shaun's voice.

Oh. My. God. My eyes immediantly filled with tears as I saw his apperance. He looked as if he had just been bashed and he had his sleeve up reveling the words 'Gay Emo' freashly carved into his arm still with blood pouring out of it.

I pushed Brooke off me and she fell to the floor and ran to Shaun. I don't care if Brooke got hurt.

I grabbed Shaun's face between my hands looking at his bloody face.

"Shaun what the fuck happened to you?" I practecly screamed. Almost the whole school was standing around watching to see what happened.

Shaun just cried without answer. I pulled him close not caring who was around.

"Do you want to go home baby? ... Well to my house? Mum's home taking care of Chris and Ash but you know her." I asked him. I'll find out what happened and I'll make sure it will never happen again.

"What the fuck?" Darren said. "Baby? Really Andy him? That cunt? oh wow... oh ew... anyone but that faggot."

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! I LOVE SHAUN AND NONE OF YOU AND ABSALOUTLY NOTHING WILL EVER EVER IN FOREVER CHANGE THAT! Shauny shall we go beautiful? We'll get you fixed up ok."

Shaun nodded still keeping silent. I kissed the top of his head and put my arm around him walking out of the school pushing threw everyone and all the teachers as they tried to stop us saying we needed to sign out. I didn't care.

We both didn't say anything the whole way home. Shaun was just crying. Crying so much. It hurt me a lot seeing him like this. Knowing how he gets treated.

We walked in the front door and I called out for Mum.

"What are you doing home so early Andrew? How did you g-" She stopped when she saw Shaun. "Oh my lord. Shaun what happened to you hun?"

"He got bashed... I think. Can you please make sure he is ok Mum?" I asked.

"Of course." She said as she grabbed onto Shaun.

Mum finished checking and cleaning up Shaun and told me that fortunatly he was fine. Just some grazes and bruises but nothing broken and no brain damage. Shaun just stayed quite.

"As for those cuts on your arm Shaun... I'm a bit worried about that.." Mum said after she had finished explaining.

"Don't be." Was the first thing Shaun had said since my name earlier that day. He got up and walked up into my room leaving me and Mum behind.

"Is he ok Andy? Why did he have so many scars?" Mum said looking after Shaun concerned.

"I don't know Mum. I don't know." I said before getting up and following Shaun upstairs.

He was sitting on my bed staring at the floor still crying. I walked over and sat in the middle of the bed and pulled him onto my lap.

He sat on me straddling my waist resting his head on my shoulder and cried. He cried so much. We sat there like that, him crying on me and me holding him close comferting him, for such a long time it started to go dark outside. By that time my shoulder was soaked with his tears.

"Baby what happened?" I asked him calmly.

"What did you tell M-Micheal, Chris and D-Darren?" He asked wiping away tears.

"What do you mean?" I swear those dicks better not of done this to him.

"About us? About me?"

"I just kept going on about how I think you are really nice and cool...Why?"

"Th-they came up to me and told me "Leave Andy alone. He might be gay but we will make sure he will never be with you. Why would he want to anyway? Your so fat and ugly and emo and ew!" Then they bashed me till I had to act uncouncious for them to leave me alone. I was almost unconcious though. Then I got up and went to the bathroom at the back of the school... You know the one that no one goes in?... And locked myself in one of the cubicals and cut. Then I realised I have you here and went to find you. Then we came home and your Mum fixed me up then we went upstairs and I cried and you held me and now I'm explaining it all to you."

"THOSE FUCKING DICK HEADS! DON'T WORRY SHAUN I'LL FUCKING GET THEM BACK!" I was trying to hard right now not to push Shaun off me and go to each one of there houses and stab them all.

"Calm done. I'm ok arn't I?"

"Okay? OKAY? NO YOUR NOT OK SHAUN! YOU GOT BASHED UP AND ALMOST KILLED AND YOU THINK YOUR OK?" I can't fucking believe this. I lifted up his sleeve showing him his cuts. "THIS SHAUN IS NOT OK!" I yelled holding onto his arm.

"Andy please! Just calm done! Your hurting my arm! Please just calm down Andy! I need you to stop. I need you to be calm for me, to comfort me, to help me. Please." He begged tears re-forming in his eyes.

"I'm sorry baby." I said wiping the tears from his eyes and kissing his lips. "I don't know what just happened. I just... snapped. I'm just so sick of them doing this to you and it kills me knowing that I used to just sit back and allow it!"

"It's fine Andy. Don't bash yourself for that. You didn't know me like you do now." He said trying to comfort me.

"I know. I still feel bad though." I said while pushing his side fringe out of his beautiful face.

"Don't." Was all he said back. But how couldn't I? I just sat back and allowed people to treat him like a piece of gum under their shoes.

"I love you." I told him.

"I love you too." He said back smiling.

I love him, I really do. I've grown so protective over this boy he means everything to me and I don't know how I survived without him 3 months ago. That reminded me.. Today is our 3 month anniversary. I had to do something special for him today.

"Baby?" I said looking into his eyes.

"Yeah?" He answered resting his head on my shoulder.

"We've been together for 3 months today!" I said to him trying to brighten the mood.

"I know." He replied giggling into my shoulder.

"What shall we do for this special day then Mr Diviney?" I asked in a fake british acsent.

He lifted his head up looking back at me with a huge grin on his face. "I don't know Mr Clemmensen how about you surprise me? I tend to like surprises!" He said in the same acsent.

"Oh that sounds splendid!" I said still using the acsent. "Let's go back to my castle for some tea and crumpets!"

"Crumpets?"

"Crumpets!"

"Can I see your pussy cat?"

"Oh... I made him into dim sims." We both bursted into laughter at this. I love it when he laughs. It sounds like the laugh I'd imagine an angel to have.

"Come on then Mr Diviney." I said dropping the acsent and standing up picking him up in my arms as I stood.
