I looked at my watch and it read 8:30. I had walked over to a small playground near our house, where I always go to think. The place was deserted, since the summer kids programs didn't start until 10. So I sat down on a swing, and just swung back and forth. I loved that swing, ever since I was 5 years old. I realized how close I had grown to the boys....even in one day. I felt as if I had known them forever. Then of all people, Steve, out of nowhere, walks over.
"Is this seat open?" He asked, gesturing towards the swing next to me.
"Free playground." I replied coldly, still looking the other way. "What are you doing here?"
"Like you said, free playground. Plus I saw you walk over here from my window. I thought we could talk."
"Theres nothing to talk about." Then I got up and moved to the next swing over. He followed suit. We sat there for a few minutes, and swung back and forth. I kept my head the other way, but I could see him periodically look over at me through the corner of my eye.
"Krissy, baby, I'm so sorry. Your the only girl for me, I should have realized that sooner. I'm so stupid."
"Ooohhh, no. Don't pull this crap with me." I yelled, standing up. "You made it clear that I'm not good enough for you."
"B-but--"
"Don't but me. I am fed up with you. Go find that blonde bimbo you were making out with. She seemed good enough for you." I glarred at him, and proceded to walk away. Then he jumped off the swing, droped to his knees, and grabbed my hand.
"Please baby, I'm so sorry. So so sorry. Please forgive me." I shook his hand off and looked him square in the eye and said
"I could never forgive you." Then tried to walk away. He stood up, and ran after me. When he caught he, he whipped me around, grabbed my face and proceded to kiss me.
"Ew! Stop it!!" I stammered as I tried to pull away. When I finally did, I yelled "Why did you do that??!?! What is your problem?!?!"
"Your my girlfirend, and you always will be." He said, and made another lunge at me.
"I will never be your girlfriend. I'm sorry I ever got involved with you in the first place."
Then he grabbed my arms. "Ow!! Steve let go!! You're hurting me!! Let go!!"
"Get it straight. You will always be my girlfriend, whether you like it or not, is that clear?" His grip tightened with evey word.
"I would never willingly be your girlfriend. Ever again." I struggled to get loose, but it wasn't working.
"Then I'll just have to make you." He grabbed me tighter and started to slap me
"Oh my God!!" I screamed, and a voice behind me yelled
"Let her go!!" And a fist came flying at Steve, hitting him square in the jaw, knocking him to the ground. I got loose, and saw that it was Nick! Steve shook his head, and stood up, holding his jaw.
"Oh, so you wanna fight, Blondy?" Steve provoked.
"Bring it on!" Nick replied, both of their fists in the air. They swung a few punches at eachother, I saw Steve hit Nick in the arm, and the rest of them miss. Then I couldn't watch anymore. I hid my head in my hands. Then I heard one of them yell, and fall to the ground. I couldn't tell which it was till I looked up. It was Nick. Steve was already collapsed on the ground. As it turns out, Nick had beat him pretty good, and knocked the wind out of him. When he was on the ground, he knocked Nicks feet out from under him, and he's the one I heard fall.
"Go away, and leave her alone from now on." Nick warned.
"If you leave now we won't press any charges. And if you ever lay a finger on me again I'll have the police on you so fast your head will spin." I threatened. Steve gave us a dirty look, and Nick stood up over him with his fists clenched. Steve crawled away from him and cowered
"Ok ok, sorry. I'll leave her alone. I promise." And he ran away. Then I just colapsed on the ground and started bawling. Nick rushed over and held me in his arms.
"I was so scared he was going to hurt me. I couldn't think straight I was so scared."
"Shh, shh it's all over now. He's gone. He won't bother you anymore. It's ok." He kissed my head. I felt so safe in his arms.
He carried me the whole way home. I tried to stop my tears from flowing. As we walked up the driveway, Kevin and Brian were shootin hoops. As soon as they saw us, the came over, Brian with a huge Grin on his face, which slowly changed into concern.
"I beat Kevin 15 t--Krystle, what's wrong?" He looked at Nick "What happened?"
"It's a long story." Nick sighed. Then he set me down, and we all walked in the house. Kevin went back out cuz he realized he still had the basketball with him. We peaked in the kitchen to find AJ and Howie doing the dishes, and my mom and Mrs. Carter talking about goodness knows what. Aaron had fallen asleep in the livingroom infront of the TV. Poor thing went to bed pretty late and woke up pretty early. Me and Nick shook our heads and smiled as we walk back up the stairs. I climbed back up to the top bunk. I just wanted to rest.
"I'll join you in a minute," Nick called. "I just have to finish packing up my stuff." I looked at him and nodded. I closed my eyes. I came to a realization. Nick had saved me. If he hadn't been there, I could have been badly hurt or worse. He put his life on the line for me. Then I felt him hop up next to me on the bed.
"Nick....you....you saved me. Thank you." I said to him.
"Awe stop. You make me sound like some kind of hero or somthing." he replied.
"But you are........your my hero." I kissed him on his cheek, and he put his arm around my waist.
"Now why is your arm or on waist?" I joked.
"Because I couldn't resist putting my arms all over such a beautiful girl." I just smiled and hugged him.
"Flattery won't change that this is my bunk. Who was left on the top bunk this morning?"
"I only got down because I didn't want to do this while you were asleep."
"Do......what?" I asked, confused.
"This," he said as he kissed me, and kissed me, and kissed me. (Has anyone heard the all I have to give convo mix?)
