So I was gonna have this up sooner, but here's the story why. So I was busy all day when I got home from school then my mom wanted me to watch Steel Magnolias with her. I haven't finished it yet but she said it's to late and I need to go to bed since I have some big test tomorrow but I want to finish it so bad! Well I have to get up early on a Saturday *groans* but I'm still gonna finish this story before then. I'm making myself.

*next day*

I woke up with tear stains all over my pillow. I would've cried more but I had run dry. I walked downstairs to get some water. I sat on the couch and grabbed my book, figuring I should try and move on. But I couldn't process anything I was reading. I went into the bathroom and stared at myself in the mirror.

"What's wrong with me? Why would I fall for something so stupid." I asked myself putting my face in my hands and my elbows on the counter. I started to cry again and brushed my teeth. I went and got dressed and zipped up my jacket. I started walking. I don't know where but I didn't feel like being home, Johnny might try and come by. Before I knew it I was about a mile on the west side of the tracks. (It said west side in the book. I hate how they changed it in the movie sorry). I panicked and started to walk back quickly. I tried not to draw any attention to myself but it wasn't happening. When I heard the voice my heart sunk so far I felt it throbbing in my feet.

"Now normally, I respect the territories, but your on our side, so you need to be taught a lesson so you learn your mistake. And lastly, I'm just flat out bored."

I heard the voice behind me and couldn't turn around. When I felt his hand on my shoulder I was still so out of it from Johnny, I didn't have the guts to move. I started shaking, which just made him laugh. He spun me around so quick I fell over.

"Well we're gonna have some fun aren't we?" He asked smiling down at me, pulling out a well polished black handle switchblade.

"You got a little something there, why don't ya let me hope you get it." He said, cutting down my arm as if trying to get some thing off it. It was deep enough to leave a scar, so as if to remind me for the rest of my life what he's about to do to me.

He ripped my shirt so it was showing my stomach. I started shaking a lot more, worried about what he was going to do. He held his blade almost like a kid would a pencil before they learn how to hold it right. He carved something into my stomach but I couldn't tell it hurt so bad.

"Let's cut off all that ugly hair of yours." He said laughing.
Some of his friends came over and joined him. He grabbed me by my hair and pulled me up. I had always wanted loved my hair, it was something I was really proud of. He held it above my head and cut it off real short. Since that was the only thing holding me up I fell to the ground hard. I hit my head on the concrete, knocking me out cold.

*time skip*

When I woke up, I tried to sit up before I fell back moaning.

"Y/n!"

I turned my head to see Johnny sitting in front of me on the floor. He got up on knees when he saw I was awake.

"Y/n I-I'm so sorry. Sure I did ask you out on a bet but it's not like that, it started that way but things changed now. I wasn't using you and I really really care about you. Please you have to know that."

"J-Johnny I care a-about you t-to. But you lied to me. How am I s-supposed to, to know there a-ain't nothin else y-your hiding f-from me." I said close to tears.

"Besides, they're r-right. I bet y-you'd be happier
w-without a w-wuss l-like me." I said, this time much quieter.

"Y/n your no wuss. And I've been completely lost without you. Please take me back I'm begging ya."

"I-I'm sorry Johnny, b-but trust me. Y-you'll be b-better off without m-me."

"Y/n please-"

"Johnny. I-I'm sure y-your friends are w-waiting for y-you."

He looked heartbroken. I couldn't look, he'd make me change my mind about what I said. I laid down and hugged myself. I started crying a little again. Not minuets after he left though everyone of his friends came from the kitchen.

"W-what, how?"

"Don't strain yourself sweet cheeks."

"Look, we're sorry bout what we said. Your not ugly, and Johnny ain't using you. We've seen he really cares about you and he hasn't been himself since you broke up with him. Don't let what we said mess up what y'all had. We feel terrible." One said.

"I liked you from the start in just here to make sure they don't make things worse than they already are." Pony said with a small smile, making me laugh slightly.

"So please don't break up with Johnny, just cause we were buttheads. Will you take him back?"

I laid there thinking about it.

"Yes."

They all started cheering. One went over to the phone to call Johnny.

"Johnny! Get over here now! She's fine. Don't worry. Yes. Bye."

"He'll be here in five minutes." Pony ushered everyone out of the house. Suddenly there was a lock on the door.

"It's open." Johnny came in.

"So you'll take me back?"

"Y-yes."

He grinned from ear to ear. He came and sat down on the couch next to me grabbing my hands.

"Johnny?"

"Yah?"

"What does m-my stomach spell out?"

His jaw set, showing he was mad. "A lie."

"Ok. Will you h-help me sit up?"

"Of course." After a few awkward minuets of him trying to help me, well finally got it.

"S-sorry I said I was b-breaking up with you." I said sheepishly.

"It's fine. As long as we're together now. I still love you to the moon and back." My breath hitched in my throat. We had never said it but I knew it.

"I love you to." I said, kissing him. 

"Y/n, I swear. From now on, I won't let anything like this happen to you again."

The end.
