"That bastard!"

Matt punched the locker and I instantly seen regret flood his eyes as he made a noise and held his hand. I stood there watching him shake his hand as his mouth was hanging wide open.

What an idiot.

He examined his hand then kissed it and I rolled my eyes at him. "Are you done?" he can act tough all he wants but I know that he's nothing but a teddy bear.

He looked at me then nodded, "That really hurt," he looked at his hand again and I rolled my eyes yet again. He looked at me, "How can Miss Shuler marry a jerk who beats her?"

I told Matt about what I encountered yesterday, and also what I seen on Miss Shuler's neck. He said that he was wondering why she was wearing the same scarf yesterday and I told him that I thought the same thing.

Miss Shuler and I talked that afternoon about everything that Alex put her through and I could barely listen to her because it was terrible. It made me sick to hear about what he has done to her.

But damn it, he will never touch her again.

She told me that she didn't want me to get involved but I can't help it. I'm not going to sit back and let some asshole abuse her now that I know about it. There's no way in hell that's happening.

She also told me that he was a drug head.

Ironic, right?

She told me that he would get on drugs so bad, and that's when he would beat her. It was like I was in a re-run of my own life.

After I told Matt that, he looked at me and I already knew what was running through his head.

"She still doesn't know, does she?" I stared at him as we were walking to class.

I shook my head, "No, and she's not going to because it's in the past and it's over with," I mean, there's no need to bring it up since Jessica is doing better and I don't have to worry about it ever happening again.

I'm afraid of what might happen if she did find out. I lied to her so much, and now that she's actually giving us a chance, I'm afraid that all those lies are going to come back and break us.

We made it to art class and I walked to the back and grabbed my canvas. I placed it in front of my chair and took the sheet off to admire it. I sat down in the chair and stared at it.

I couldn't be more happier with it. It was amazing in every way, and not just because I did an awesome job, and actually made it look good, but the fact that it's my mom makes it more perfect.

Matt leans over and admires it with me. We sit there and stare at it without saying a word, but I could hear the words he wasn't saying.

I then heard a voice that made my eyes immediately dart to the front. "Alright students," she looked around the room at everyone until they stopped talking. She smiled, "Spring break is coming up," I heard everyone holler and it made my ears hurt. "But since we have another week until it starts, I talked to the principal to let us take a field trip," yes! Everyone cheered and Miss Shuler chuckled, "We're going to an art museum and I need to have your parents sign a paper in order for you to go," before she did anything else, her eyes landed on me for a moment until she turned and grabbed some papers from her desk.

She went around the room and handed everyone one. When she reached me, she leaned over and whispered, "You're good, don't worry," she smiled at me as she handed one to Matt and I smiled back.

I heard Matt squeal, "This is amazing! I hope I see Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, The Creation of Adam, Starry Night, and The Scream!" he held the paper to his chest and had a smile on his face. He then looked at me and smiled, "What about you?"

I stared at him for a moment, "I didn't understand a word you said, but ditto,"

He chuckled and stared at the paper, "I can't believe we're actually going to an art museum. It's been my childhood dream to go one day to see all the famous paintings I've seen in movies," wow. He's really art struck.

I smiled at him, "I'm happy to see you so happy, Matthew," he rolled his eyes at me and I chuckled.

As the class went on, and everyone was doing their painting, the bell rung a few minutes later and everyone started packing their things and leaving, but before they left, Miss Shuler's voice rang through the walls, "Don't forget to have your parents sign the paper, or you won't get to come!"

I walked to her desk and smiled at her, "So, when is it?" I didn't exactly get a paper, so I couldn't see the date.

She looked down at a paper then back up at me, "Thursday," I nodded and noticed that she was staring at me. "I was wondering if you would like to come over to my house this afternoon,"

I don't know why, but everything in my body just froze.

I couldn't say anything but nod and she chuckled, "Good," she looked around me, "Matthew, I will be taking Samantha home after awhile,"

I didn't have to turn to see that stupid smile on his face as he spoke, "No problem. I'll see you later Sam," I turned in time to see him walk out the room.

I looked back at Miss Shuler as she was stacking some papers up and I couldn't help but wonder why she wanted me to come to her house, especially on a school night.

After she got everything packed up, we walked out of the school and into the parking lot. I couldn't focus on anything because my heart was thumping so damn hard, I couldn't hear what she was saying.

"What?" I looked at her as she was staring at me.

"I said, what do you think about going to the art museum,"

I nodded, "Yeah, I can't wait. Matt is excited, that's for sure," I knew he would be. He's an art loving freak.

She chuckled, "I knew that he would like it. I wanted to do something for the class before Spring Break," we reached her car and she unlocked it.

When we both got in, she looked over at me, "What are you doing for Spring Break?" I stared at her as I couldn't think of anything.

I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I guess whatever Matt and his parents were doing since I'm basically living with them.

I shrugged as we were backing out of the parking lot. "I don't know. Whatever Matt is doing," I seen her nod as she were pulling out.

All the way to her house, I could feel my heart in my veins. I needed to calm down but I just couldn't because this was Miss Shuler we were talking about.

The same damn woman that made me faint when she was standing too close to me. The same woman that makes me feel weak everytime I see her. The same woman who didn't mind me touching her leg, and it made me want to pass out from the touch.

If we ever have sex, I might just die.

The thought of that actually happening made my face burn and my body catch fire. I couldn't stop the images from running through my head and I was sitting here, in the passenger side, roasting like a tomato.

We pulled up and I quickly got out as soon as she shut the engine off. I had to breathe some fresh air.

I looked over at her as she was getting out and she was staring at me, "Are you ok?" I only nodded and she didn't push it any further as we were walking to her front door.

She unlocked the door and we both walked in. She told me that I could make myself at home and help myself to whatever I wanted. She told me that she was going to go upstairs real quick, and she'd be back.

I walked to the living and sat down. I was finally calm and I was happy. I hate when I get like that and I wish there was a way for me to control it.

After a few minutes of boredom, she finally came back. I looked towards her and couldn't take my eyes away from her.

She came into the living room wearing a tank top and short shorts. I never seen her wear anything like it before and honestly, it made my body quiver.

She sat down next to me and smiled at me as she reached for the TV remote. I sat there glancing at her from time to time, wondering what was going on. After a while, I finally spoke, "So, what did you want me over here for?"

She looked over at me and shrugged, "No reason, just wanted your company," she smiled at me, "Is that ok?"

I nodded then looked back at the TV because my face was burning from glancing down a little too far than I intended.

Her cleavage was showing just enough and I'm certain she knows that.

Is she doing this on purpose? And if so, why?

I tried my hardest not to glance back over at her, and let me tell you, it was the hardest damn thing I've ever had to do.

"Samantha,"

I heard her call my name but all I did was make a noise because I couldn't make any words come out and I damn sure didn't want to turn my head.

"Are you ok?" I could feel her staring at me and it was getting harder not to turn and look at her.

I nodded and focused on the TV. I could feel every muscle in my body straining from trying so damn hard not to turn,

After a few seconds of silence, I felt her touch my leg and I looked down to see her hand laying there. I felt a fire run through my body as I was sitting there staring at her hand.

I finally looked up and met her eyes. She was staring and me as I was staring at her. I don't know what was running through her head, but I sure as hell knew what was running through mine.

I seen her lean closer without breaking eye contact and I didn't give it much thought as I was leaning closer also.

Her hand found its way to my cheek and she cupped it to bring me closer as our lips finally met. I found her side as I tried pulling her closer, if that was even possible.

The kiss started slow and soon turn into something more passionate that had more fire in it. Our lips were moving at a steady pace and I felt myself start melting right under her. It was amazing how this kiss held so much more love in it than any kiss I've ever had.

I was so lost in the kiss that I didn't realize that I was now laying on my back as she was on top of me. It took my mind a second to process what was happening and I immediately stopped kissing her to look up at her.

She was staring down at me as her hair was falling on one side of her face. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, "Are you ok?" she looked at me as I was trying to find words to come out of my mouth. She searched my eyes for a moment, "Is this too fast?" she started getting up but I quickly grabbed her and pulled her back down.

I finally found my voice, "No, this is fine," I slowly cupped her cheek as I brought her face closer to mine. I could see her smiling as our lips were inches apart and I felt butterflies in my stomach as our lips finally met.

As we kissed, my legs automatically found their way around her waist and I felt her smile against my lips. She pulled back for a second before she said, "Are you afraid I'm going to go somewhere?" she smiled at me and it made my heart swell.

I chuckled, "I just want you close," I barely whispered out but she still heard it as she smiled.

She leaned closer as we were inches apart, "We're pretty close already. I doubt we can get any closer," I felt her breath on my lips and it was torture as I could feel my whole body quiver under her.

Our lips met once again and I found her sides again as I held onto her tank top. I was becoming frustrated as I couldn't bring her any closer.

After a minute, she broke the kiss and I watched as she leaned up and never broke eye contact. She didn't say anything as she leaned back down but didn't meet my lips. Instead, she met my neck and I felt a tingle sensation run through every part of my body.

After a few minutes of her kissing my neck, she leaned back up and I watched as she moved her hair to run side and smiled at me. I could feel everything in my body burning as she was on top of me, smiling down at me.

My eyes traveled down and met her cleavage and I immediately felt my face burn as I looked back up and met her eyes. She stared at me and raised an eyebrow as she caught me staring at her.

As I could feel everything in my body quiver, I had to say something that was on my mind, "Did you wear that on purpose?" I watched as she was still staring at me and she smiled.

"Maybe," she leaned back down and met my lips. I don't know wear this was coming from but I was not complaining one bit.

I never wanted this moment to end.

But, of course, I have the shittest luck because as our kiss was getting heated, I heard a knock on the door and we both stopped as she leaned up and looked towards the door.

I stared at her, "Who's here?"

She looked back down at me and shrugged, "I don't know," she got up and I watched as she looked at me before she left, "Stay here," I nodded and watched as she left the living room.

I decided to sit up and adjust my clothes. I could still feel my face burn and my head was spinning. I can't believe that just happened. My whole body was burning up and I could feel everything throughtout my body as she was laying on top of me.

I don't know what would of happened if it went any further.

I sat there and heard some noises in the other room but couldn't make out who was here. I couldn't hear their voice, so I just sat there and waited.

After a few minutes, it got quiet and I started getting suspicious. I didn't want to sit here and wait because I didn't know what was happening, so I got up and walked out of the living room.

When I rounded the corner, I saw a sight that I didn't want to see and it made everything in my body start turning.

Alex had Olivia pinned against the wall with his hand around her throat.

I didn't think twice as I ran towards him and pushed him off while yelling, "Get away from her!"

He ended up falling back into a wall and I turned my attention towards Olivia who was gasping for air. I grabbed her face and made her look at me. She kept breathing hard and her eyes finally found mine.

"Are you ok?" my voice cracked a little and I tried to hold in my tears as I watched her slowly nod.

I looked towards him as he was standing up. His eyes found mine as he stood there and I could see something in his eyes that I've seen before and I knew that this wasn't over.

He didn't do anything but stand there and stared at me. I knew he wanted to do something, and I was waiting for anything, but nothing came.

I looked back at Olivia as she grabbed my wrists and slowly removed my hands from her face. She stared at me for a moment until she looked over at Alex.

"Alex, it's time for you to leave," she pushed me back behind her as she stood in front of me. I watched them both as I was scared as hell.

Alex stared at her for a second, "I'm not leaving until I get whats mine," he stood there staring at her as they didn't say anything and I was wondering what he was talking about.

Olivia spoke, "There's nothing here that belongs to you anymore,"

He continued to stare at her, "I think you know what belongs to me,"

I heard her sigh, "How many times do I have to tell you Alex," I could hear the pain in her voice. "We're done. It's over,"

I saw something in his eyes and it didn't take me long to realize what was about to happen as he started coming towards her. I knew that look all too well and I wasn't about to let anything happen.

I quickly stood in front of her and stopped him, "Don't fucking touch her!" he stopped about a foot in front of me as he stared at me.

I was shaking with fear because I have never stood up for anyone, better yet, myself before and it was a terrifying situation. I could see his veins in his arms as his blood was boiling.

He stared at me for a moment until he eyes landed on Olivia's. I stood there, trying so damn hard to protect her from him, but I knew that I was no match towards him, but I would try my hardest not to let him touch her.

He was quick as he took one step towards me and quickly pushed me to the side. But it wasn't a small push, this push had so much strength that I ended up falling to the floor.

I heard him start yelling, "We're not over! Do you hear me!?" I watched as he stood in front of her and I was quick to my feet.

Olivia looked at me and yelled for me to stop. I watched as she stood there with him standing inches from her face, yelling at her and I couldn't do a damn thing.

But as soon as he grabbed her wrist, I wasn't standing there any longer. I quickly ran to him and pushed him against the wall with all my strength. I didn't know that I could push a grown man against the wall, but I surprised myself.

I didn't think any as I took a swing and hit him across the jaw. I didn't realize that it hurt so bad but I quickly realized as pain shot through my hand. I looked at him and seen him hold his jaw and I felt someone grabbed me from behind.

"What the hell, Samantha!" she pulled me away and stared at me, "I told you to stay back!"

I didn't have time to say anything as I seen Alex quickly stand up straight. He started walking towards us and I quickly pushed Olivia behind me.

"Samantha, stop!" I ignored her as he was walking towards me. I was prepared for anything he had to throw at me as long as he didn't touch her.

He stopped in front of me and I watched as he stared at me, "Don't fuck with me little girl," I watched as he reached down and pulled his shirt up a little to reveal something that made my body freeze.

A badge.

I looked back up at him as he was staring at me. Wait, he's a cop? I couldn't feel anything as he just stared at me, then he looked at Olivia, "I'm going to forget this happened, but next time you won't be so lucky,"

"Just get the hell out of my house," I heard Olivia say. He chuckled a little but didn't say anything as he nodded and started walking towards the door.

He opened the door but stopped and turned around. He looked at Olivia, "Don't forget that I know your little secret, Olivia," he looked at me for a second and I didn't know what he was talking about.

I looked at Olivia as she was staring at him, and I knew that she didn't know what he was talking about either. I looked back at him as he looked back at her, "One wrong step, and I can get the law surrounding your house in a heart beat,"

"What are you talking about?" I watched as Olivia didn't know what was going on and it was clear on her face as she was staring at him.

He smiled, "Don't forget, Olivia," he stared at her for a moment, "Fucking around with your student is illegal," he walked out and shut the door after those last words left his mouth.

I stood there staring at the door as I felt my heart completely stop. I couldn't understand if what just happened, happened or not. I was completely frozen and I didn't know what to do. I looked over at Olivia as she was standing there staring at the door also.

"How does he know?" I asked her as I was staring at her. She slowly shook her head but didn't say anything.

"I don't know," she barely whispered and I could hear something in her voice. She looked over at me and I saw something in her eyes that I didn't like. "This is beyond bad," she shook her head as she couldn't find any words. "This can't be happening,"

I stared at her as she was running her hand through her hair, "What are we going to do?" there has to be something that we can do to prevent him from telling anyone, or to make him think that nothing is going on between us.

She closed her eyes as she took a deep breath. She stood there for a few seconds before she opened them and looked at me, "We can't do this,"

I stood there and stared at
