The Bad Boy Protects Me (Complete)

The bad boys protective

Hailey's P.O.V

I had got myself a bathroom pass, needing to breathe for a moment. As I headed into the bathroom someone came out one of the stalls giggling. I looked up, realising it was two people…that being Avery and some girl, can’t remember her name. He was pulling up the zipper of his jeans, the girl fixing her skirt and hair.

“Oh My God, I'm sorry.” I said embarrassed

“Hey sweet baby girl.” Avery said winking at me

I put my head down, ignoring him and rushing into one of the stalls, locking it behind me. I don’t even wanna know what they were doing in that stall, had a good idea though…Eww. I stayed in the stall until the bathroom fell silent and I heard the bathroom door close over. I walked out, wishing I had stayed in class now.

“Hey baby girl.” I heard making me jump

I looked up to find Avery sitting next to one of the sinks. He had a smirk on his lips, his hair was a little messed up too. I swallowed hard, staring at him. I know I should pull away, I wanted too but I couldn’t.

“Um…hi.” I stuttered out

I eventually pulled my eyes away from him, heading to the sink to wash my hands, doing it longer than I really needed too. I was hoping he would get the hint and leave, he never

“You not talking?” he asked

“I…I…why you still here? This is the girls bathroom.” I asked, giggling nervously

“Was closer than the guys bathroom.” He shrugged

“OK. I am gonna go now.” I said walking away to him

As I reached for the door handle to go leave he soon stopped me, turning me around to face him, trapping me between him and the door.

“W…w..what you doing?” I whimpered out

He reached in, his hand landing on my face, stroking my cheek, looking at me intensely. He licked his lips as he watched me, making me automatically do the same. He wasn’t going to kiss me was he? What am I thinking obviously not? He moved closer to me, his front slightly against mine.

“Do I make you nervous?” he whispered, his lips kissing the corner of my mouth, making me whimper

“Yes.” I breathed out

“Why?” he asked, his lips now tailing my jawline

I wasn’t sure what he was doing to me. It was making me nervous, plus giving me butterflies at the same time right in the pit of my stomach.

“I don’t know.” I finally managed to whisper

“Is it because I am bad?” he asked “Everything you’ve heard about me is true.” He added

“Maybe.” I said

“I don't bite honestly…well not unless you want me too.” He chuckled darkly, pulling his lips away from mine, his body still close to me

I looked at him, searching his face, trying to work out what he was thinking. I couldn’t read him. He watched me, watching him, a smirk slowly creeping on his lips

“You are attracted to me Hailey. You want me, that is why I make you this nervous.” He said smugly

“I am not…I don't.” I whimpered

“Yes you do. You should probably stay away from me cause I can turn a good girl bad in moments.” He said stroking my forearms with his fingertips, making my full body shiver.

I shook my head at him, he never seemed to believe me

“Well see you around baby girl.” He winked, moving me from the door before walking out

“Oh whoa!” I breathed out, stumbling a little, that was intense.

My heart was thudding…my pulse were racing and my palms were sweating. I was a hot mess after only being alone for two minutes with the bad boy, not even Joshua had that affect in me, not in that way. I took a few deep breaths, throwing some cold water on my face before pulling myself together before heading back to class…Avery no-where in sight. Thank God.

I couldn’t concentrate on my next class all due to my encounter in the bathroom with Avery…I could still feel his touch on my skin. Now it was lunch time which I was glad of. I headed to the lunch hall where I was meeting Layla for lunch. I hated walking in alone especially cause I know Joshua will be there with her. I put my head down heading to a table in the corner, hoping they wouldn’t see me. I sat waiting for Layla but she was late and I was getting more anxious by the second.

“Hey virgin your friend probably doesn’t even wanna be seen with you.” I heard, Mandy appearing in front of me with Joshua and another couple of people. I decided to try my best to ignore them, hoping they would go away. Them being them never, they stood taking shots at me.

“I still can't believe you thought that I ever wanted you Hailey. Look at you.” Joshua laughed, everyone joining in

I was trying my hardest not to cry cause that would make it worse for me. I don’t understand why people can be this cruel to people for no reason except for the sake of it. I closed my eyes over, hoping it was only a bad dream but that was not the case. I just wish they would go away.

“You have two seconds to step the fuck away from her Morrison.” I heard someone hiss

I looked up seeing Avery making his way over to my table. Joshua pulled his attention from me, towards him

“What the fuck you gonna do about it Freeman?” Joshua hissed

“You know first-hand what the fuck I can do.” Avery hissed back

“Who the fuck do you think you are talking too?” Joshua hissed

“You. Who else dumbass? I won’t tell you again, get the fuck away from her…right now before I make you.” Avery replied

The two of them stood there, staring each other down. They seemed to know each other but how? Actually they seemed to hate each other. Next thing I knew they were nose to nose with one and other…hatred in both their eyes.

I sat there not knowing what to do or say. Everyone else was standing around staring and whispering

“I aint scared of you Avery.” Joshua hissed

“You sure about that?” Avery smirked, his fists clenching…a darkness taking over his full face, Joshua soon back away from him.

“This aint over.” Joshua growled at him

“Yes it is. I see you near her or hear you speaking one bad word about her I will ruin you in more ways than one…you know I can.” Avery said smugly

“She aint even worth it.” Joshua laughed looking at me

With that I see Avery going to dive at Joshua, before he could

“Enough! Both of you.” The principle called out, entering the dining hall.

With that Joshua turned walking away, Avery stood glaring after him for a moment. I never seen such hatred in someone’s eyes, the way Avery has looking at Joshua. I wonder what went on there. One thing I was wondering was why is Avery sticking up for me? He barley knows me. Avery turned his attention back to me, the darkness had disappeared a little and he sat across from me

“You OK?” He asked softly

“Not really. Thank you for that though.” I said managing a small smile at him

“Anytime. Hailey you need to learn to stick up for yourself. Joshua is all talk, he is a coward and a pathetic excuse of a man.” Avery said

“It aint just him thought aint it?” I said sighing

“They are all the same.” He said looking in their direction, him and Joshua staring each other down for afar.

This lasted another moment before his attention fell back on me. He reached in, wiping a few stray tears away that I never realised had fell

“Better. He isn’t worth your tears Hailey…none of them are.” He said giving me a small smile, pulling his hand away from me

I wish it was that easy. I sighed again, running my hands through my dark hair, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath. I opened them, looking at Avery who was watching me still

“Do you and Joshua know each other?” I asked

At the mention of his name Avery’s full body tensed, the darkness appeared on his face again, maybe I shouldn’t have asked. Avery took a deep breath, his face softening a little, making me relax too.

“Yes sadly we do.” He said rolling his eyes

“How? You went to different schools and he has never mentioned you.” I asked

“That baby girl, is a story for another day.” he winked

I nodded, not wanting to push it.

“You not gonna eat?” he asked, raising his brow at me

“Not really hungry.” I said shrugging

“You need to eat. I will grab us something. Anything you can’t eat?” he asked

I looked at him strangely, making him chuckle and shook my head. He nodded, smiling heading to the food line, appearing back a few minutes later, passing me a chicken and bacon sandwich and a bottle of water, him having the same as me. He dug right in, I however really was not that hungry right now, would get something when I get home

“Eat!” he said sternly, glaring at me a little

I went to protest but he raised his brow, giving me a stern look. I nodded, doing as he asked. What is that all about forcing me to eat? A comfortable silence fell between us as we ate. I check my phone, a message from Layla, telling me she wouldn’t make lunch, she was doing a resit test for something. I could feel everyone looking at me, probably wondering why someone like Avery was sitting with little old me. I put my head down, ignoring the stares and ate my lunch before I get a lecture from Avery.

“What is your next class?” he asked

“Art with Miss Sanders.” I said

“Me too. Come on I will walk you to class. Well nipping out for a smoke first. Let’s go baby girl.” He winked standing up

I nodded, doing the same. He waited for me, keeping me close to him as we headed out not before him and Joshua had another stare down with one and other. Seriously what went on with them, it seems real bad. I decided to stop thinking about Joshua for the time being. Avery led us outside, heading behind one of the buildings…one that none of the teachers really bothered coming too. It was where most people went to smoke by the look of things. Avery hopped up on the wall, lighting his cigarette. I stood there awkwardly, making him chuckle before patting the spot next to him. I jumped up, sitting next to him

“Cig?” he asked

“No thanks, don’t smoke.” I said

“How does that not surprise me?” he laughed

“Hey! What is the meant to mean?” I said pretending to be offended before giggling

“I bet you don’t drink, party or have sex either, am I right?” he asked, cocking his brow at me

He was right I don’t do any of that, he doesn’t need to point it out.

“Yes you are.” I said in a whisper

“We may need to change that, your only young once baby girl. In time…won’t rush those things on you.” He winked

In time? Is he planning on spending more time me? I don’t know how I feel about that…hmm.

“In time?” I said raising my brow

“What did you think I was gonna let you be after today?” he smirked and I nodded “Not gonna happen kitten, what would the fun in that be? You and I are gonna be spending a lot of time together.” He added, smiling…an actual smile, not a smirk.

“We are?” I asked surprised

“Yup! What is your thoughts on that?” he asked

“I dunno. You have trouble written all over you.” I said, giggling a little

“Well duh! That is what will make this fun. We can get in some trouble together…not too much though, don’t want you losing that sweetest and innocence you have about you too much.” He winked

“Um…we will see.” I laughed

“Yes we will. You will agree eventually cause not many girls can resists me Hailey.” He said smugly

I shook my head, laughing at him. Cocky much? I was still trying to get my head around the way he was acting right now, thought he was a bad boy that spent his life getting into trouble? Right now, he seemed kind of sweet in his own way.

“We better go before we are late, can’t have you being late can we? You probably have the perfect record.” He laughed

“Yes I kind of do.” I giggled, shrugging it off, making him laugh

“OK dork.” He said teasingly, nudging me gently

“Shut up.” I laughed, pushing him gently

I smiled to myself a little, he had made me feel better after my shitty day. I could still not work out if being around him was gonna be a good or a bad thing for me…time will tell won’t it?
