Max POV
"Fang…" I murmured. Fang kneeled in front of me and took my hands. I sniffled and let the tears I couldn't hold anymore. They ran down my cheeks, but Fang brushed them away and pulled me to his chest. I sobbed into his chest.
"Max? What's wrong?" he asked. I let out a shaky breath.
"I had a boyfriend when I was fifteen. One day he walked up to me, and asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend. I said yes, and we were a couple. He was really sweet and he was always gentle. We were steady for three months," I said into his chest. I looked up at Fang and found him nodding.
"One day, he went out with his friends. They went to a party, when I had practice. After I went home I was alone, Iggy was with the guys and my mom was working. I heard a knock at the door. It was him, but he was drunk. He came inside and pushed me into the couch. After that…" I stopped to take a shaky breath.
"He raped me," I sobbed out. Fang's arms tightened around me. I buried my face in his neck and continued.
"Then, he left after it was done, and I never told mom or Iggy. I didn't go to school for the rest of the week. Then when I did, I found him with another girl and a new group of friends. I went up to him and beat the crap out of him. I dislocated his shoulder and almost broke his neck," I murmured.
"Max. I'm so sorry. No wonder you're so tough around other guys. Max, if he ever shows up at your house I'm going to kill him. And…you know I'd never force you into something like that. I swear I will never hurt you," he murmured in my hair. I clutched him tighter and nodded.
"I know. But when you came to school and we met…it's like you broke down my walls," I murmured.
"Hey," he whispered and pulled away. He cupped my face and stroked my cheeks.
"I'm always going to be here for you. I'm going to get you out of harm's way. I love you," with that, he leaned in and kissed me. Our lips moved slowly against each other's, both of us putting love into the kiss.
We both pulled away. And I asked him a question.
"You're not…you're not going to tell anyone right? If you tell my mom, she's not going to let us date," I whispered, tracing the outline of his lips with my finger. He shook his head.
"If you don't want me to, then I won't. But just know that I'm going to take care of you forever…I love you so much," he said. My heart sped up. I gripped the collar of his shirt and pulled him toward me. I crashed my lips onto his and kissed him furiously.
"God, I love you so much," I said and kissed him again. After we kissed, we went to my house, where our families were gonna have dinner.
