Sammy and Caleb were heading to Sammy's locker after school to grab her things when they were stopped by a tall blond haired, hazel eyed boy. Sammy sighed, knowing immediately that it was Todd, the captain of the swim team and her ex-boyfriend.
"What are you doing with this loser?" Todd asked rudely.
"Not that I owe you anything but Caleb and I are dating," Sammy said, calmly but not without a harsh undertone.
"This kid isn't anything special," Todd said, keeping up his tone, "You should take me back, I'm way better for you."
"I won't take you back because you aren't worth my time," Sammy said simply, "Caleb treats me better than you ever did."
"Well fine then," Todd said harshly, "He's a loser and you're a slut so I guess you're perfect for each other."
Todd had no time to react when Caleb's fist collided with his face as the last word slid through his lips.
"Don't you every talk to her like that again," Caleb said threateningly.
Todd blinked a couple times at Caleb as he felt the blood that was trickling out of his now most likely broken nose before turning and leaving. Caleb flexed his hand a couple times before giving it a shake.
"What a jerk," Caleb said with a sigh before turning to Sammy who was staring at him awestruck, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Sammy said before gently pulling his hand close so she could look at it, "Is your hand ok?"
"Yeah it's a little sore but its fine," Caleb said, hissing when Sammy touched a tender part of his knuckle, "It was worth it though. I have a feeling he won't be bothering you anymore."
"Sorry," Sammy said softly before releasing his hand, "We should get home and put some ice on that before it starts to swell too much. Can you drive with it like that?"
"Yeah I'll be fine," Caleb said, carefully letting his now bruising hand fall to his side before offering Sammy his other hand, "You ready to go?"
"Yup," Sammy said, locking her locker before swinging her backpack over her shoulder and taking the hand he offered.
They headed out of the school hand in hand and got to Caleb's jeep with no more issues with anyone.
oOoOoOo
Victor came home to Sammy and Caleb sitting on the couch, which wasn't all that odd until he noticed the TV was off. He walked over to where they were sitting and as soon as he caught a glimpse over the couch he knew what was going on. Sammy said gently holding the reusable ice pack from the freezer on Caleb's hand, making sure it covered all of his knuckles.
"How'd that happen?" Victor asked, already knowing how but wanting the whole story.
"Todd was harassing me after school and trying to get me to take him back and when I told him no he called me a slut so Caleb punched him in the face," Sammy explained as she carefully lifted the ice pack to peak at Caleb's hand.
"I know I should play the adult here and tell you that none violent conflict resolution is the way it's supposed to be but honestly I don't care," Victor said, giving up on his adult tone, "Good job! I'm glad the kid got what was coming to him."
"He should have gotten worse but I gave him a chance to spare himself and he did," Caleb said, angrily.
"Hey," Sammy said softly to get his attention, "It's over now and you were amazing."
Caleb sighed, letting most of his anger subside, "He still should have gotten another, maybe in the jaw, for calling you a slut because you are not even close."
Sammy smiled and reached up to run her fingers through his hair soothingly, "It's alright, he's just upset because I wouldn't become his little booty call."
Victor watched as they held each other's gazes and decided to make himself disappear.
Sammy leaned up and gently planted her lips on his, smiling as he kissed her back before letting him deepen it a little.
"You know today you proved that you are my knight in shining armour," Sammy said with a smile once they broke, "I don't think anyone is gonna mess with either of us."
"I hope not," Caleb said, flexing his fingers again, "because I will hit someone again if they insult you like that and I don't know how many more my hand can take."
"How is it feeling?" Sammy asked, moving the ice pack and frowning at the purple and blue bruises that where showing up in blotches over his knuckles.
"Sore but it's definitely not broken so it's fine," Caleb said, leaning in to kiss her nose, "Have I told you all the expressions you make are adorable?"
"No," Sammy mumbled blushing.
"Well they are," Caleb said, softly, "and I love them."
Sammy flashed him a smile, before moving her attention back to his hand, "Do you want the ice back on again?"
"I don't think it's gonna do much more," Caleb said examining his hand, "Might as well just let it rest a bit. Shall we watch a movie?"
"Ok," Sammy said, setting the ice pack on the table, "Any ideas?"
"Nope," Caleb said, leaning back on the couch, "You get to choose."
"Kay," Sammy said, getting up and popping a movie into the DVD player, "Austin Powers ok with you?"
"Sure," Caleb said, wrapping an arm around her shoulder when she sat down beside him again.
Sammy let him pull her close and leaned her head on his shoulder before starting the movie. She hoped for the sake of Caleb's hand that Todd didn't try anything tomorrow.
oOoOoOo
The End
