Taylor marched up to Blake and slammed her locker shut.

"Woah there psycho."

Blake looked at Taylor and raised her perfectly shaped eyebrow.

"I saw your tattoo" Taylor smirked.

"Congrats? Everyone's seen my tattoos."

"No the one on your shoulder" she spat.

"Okay? And?"

"So your dad died?"

"What about it?" Blake asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

She felt protectiveness take over almost immediately at the mention of her dad.

"I bet he was a nobody who killed himself to get away from you" she spat.

If only she knew who he really was.

"You're a piece of shit you know that? Just because you are obsessed with my boyfriend doesn't give you the right to say shit to me like it's my fault! I'm sorry you're too crazy in the fucking head to even realize that Jace has never liked you and will never like you. So don't you ever talk about my dad again or someone will have to pull me off of you" Blake growled.

Once again a group of students formed around them, watching and recording the whole thing like they do best.

"You stole him from me!"

"He wasn't even yours to steal! Stop trying to fight me over a boy, it's pathetic."

"Jace will leave you, just you wait. He doesn't love you and neither did your dad which is why he took his own life to get away from his piece of shit daughter."

Blake hated Taylor's words. Even if he were to take his own life it should never be talked about like that. He had a bigger legacy that Taylor would ever have and Blake so badly wanted to just scream that in her face but she couldn't.

Blake couldn't take it anymore, she launched herself at Taylor throwing punch after punch rapidly not bothering to stop. She did not have the right talking about her dad like that, disrespecting him as a person.

Jace once again pushed his way through the crowd and pulled a furious Blake off of Taylor.

"Let me go!" she growled as teachers pushed their way through the students.

"Calm down baby" Jace whispered in her ear.

"No!"

Blake struggled against his hold to have a second go at Taylor but the principal glared at her.

"Everyone get to class! Someone go get the nurse and Blake? Meet me in my office."

Jace grabbed Blake's backpack off the floor and hugged her to him as he walked them to the office.

"What happened love?" he asked softly.

"Not only is she completely obsessed with you, she found out my dad is dead because she saw my tattoo and kept saying how he killed himself and that he did it because he doesn't love me. She kept talking about him I just hit her, she shouldn't even think about him."

"I'm sorry she was talking about him."

"She also said that he was a nobody. If only she knew who he really was, he was better than she'll ever be."

"I know baby I know, but I have to get to class so text me what your punishment is."

"Probably expelled, it's like my third time hitting someone here" she mumbled.

"I doubt you'll get expelled.

"You don't know that."

Jace gave her a look and pecked her lips.

"Do your knuckles hurt?" he asked, rubbing his thumb gently over her red knuckles.

She shook her head and played with her lip ring with her tongue.

"I'll see you at lunch, if not after I get off work."

Blake nodded and he gave her one last kiss before having the lady in the office give him a pass for his next class.

After ten minutes the principal finally walked into his office.

"This is your second fight with Taylor this school year."

Blake didn't say anything and Mr. Reed let out a big sigh.

"What do you think your punishment should be?" he asked her.

"Let off free" she said cheekily, knowing it won't happen.

"I can't do that."

"Then why would you ask?"

He once again let out another sigh.

"Why did you do it again Blake?"

"If someone says shit about my dad I'm going to defend him."

He scolded her for her language and rubbed his knuckles.

"What exactly did she say?"

"She said he was a nobody, she said that he didn't love me and the only reason he is dead is because he killed himself to get away from his piece of shit daughter."

"Are you a hundred percent sure she said that?"

"Why the hell would I make something like that up? I don't want to even talk about him with anybody in this stupid school."

Mr. Reed let out yet another sigh, and leaned back into his seat staring at Blake.

"So are you gonna tell me my punishment or not?" she questioned him.

"Well your mother is on her way so I'm discussing your punishment when she gets here."

"Unbelievable, people have it on video and if you really want to see the video you can ask anyone who was around us. They were all recording."

"It doesn't matter what is said, what matters is how you are being punished for starting this fight."

"Do whatever you want, if I don't get to graduate it's not going to affect me. As long as I'm more successful than that psychotic bitch I'll be just fine in life" Blake grumbled.

"Stop using that type language in this office Blake."

The teen rolled her eyes again and stared at her shoes until her mom showed up with a disappointing look in her eyes.

"Blake, honey we talked about this" she sighed.

Blake didn't say anything, her heart sank a bit knowing she had disappointed her mom once again but she didn't bother showing any emotion.

"I'm so sorry about this Mr. Reed" Susie sighed as she sat in the chair next to Blake.

They talked for almost ten minutes as Blake watched the time tick away slowly.

"I think seeing as this is her second time getting in a fight with Ms. Taylor Valentine that the rest of the week she will have an OSS and when she comes back it will be just one day of detention."

Blake rolled her eyes, and Susie nodded.

"Okay."

"I'll see you next week Blake."

"Whatever" she mumbled.

She snatched her bag off the floor and walked to her car quickly.

"Blake!" Susie hissed when they reached outside.

"What mom?" Blake sighed.

"Really? Another fight."

"She talked bad about dad."

Susie's face changed and she glanced at her daughter.

"Was it that bad?"

"I wouldn't have beat her up if it wasn't." Which was a lie. Blake would have beat her up either way, just not as bad.

Susie sighed and saw a flick of hurt flash through her eyes.

"I won't ground you this time, but next time it will be more than it was before."

Blake gave her mom a small nod with a smile and climbed into her car.

When she got home she jumped on her bed and texted Jace.

Baby❤️: i'm suspended the rest of the week and have 1 day of detention when i get back next week

johnny boy🥴: Damn baby, but after work I'll swing by for a bit if that's ok with u

Baby❤️: doesn't matter by me, i'm not grounded

johnny boy🥴: Ok cool I have to get going before my teacher yells at me. Bye love u

Baby❤️: love you too

Blake sat doing nothing the remainder of the day. She watched the fight video on Instagram and she laughed to herself seeing the scared look on Taylor's face. If she wanted to try and fight then she should at least look not petrified.

Once Jace finished off work he went home to shower before rushing off to Blake's house. He never really is home anymore because he knows after their senior year, if they are still together which he is hoping they will be, they won't be seeing each other as much as they do now. She would be traveling the world and he will be staying put.

"Hi baby" Jace smiled at her.

He looked at her knuckles that are wrapped with thin wrapping and gave them a little kiss.

"Hi Johnny" she said.

He smiled down at her and gave her a kiss on her amazing lips as her cold lip ring pressed against his lips making him shiver slightly. He loved the feeling of her lip ring.

"No one is home, want to go in my room?" Blake asked.

Jace noticed the suggestive look in her eye and nodded frantically as they walked up the stairs.

§

Blake laid tracing Jace's bare chest as he rubbed her back softly underneath the hoodie she was wearing.

She had put on his hoodie after they finished and wore that as he wore his boxers.

"You're beautiful" he murmured softly.

Blake smiled into his shoulder as Sparrow's soft snores were heard where he laid on his bed.

"Can we take a nap?" Blake asked as she yawned.

Her eyes were already shutting and she felt him kiss her head.

"I would love to but I have to get home."

Blake frowned and opened her eyes to look up at him.

"You can't stay another hour?"

"No I can't, my mom wants me home early today, I'm sorry."

Blake sat up and Jace got out of bed as he put his clothes on. She slid on her underwear and spandex before following after him.

She walked him to his car despite the cement making her feet become immediately frozen and the cold air hitting her bare legs.

She hugged him and he rubbed her back softly as he leaned them against his car.

"I'll FaceTime you tonight okay?"

She nodded and looked up at him and he gave her a kiss.

"I love you" he mumbled softly against her lips.

"I love you too."

His heart fluttered hearing those words come out of her mouth like it did every other time and he gave her one last kiss.

"Bye baby" he smiled at her as he climbed into his car.

"Later skater."

She rushed inside and shut the door before going back up to her room.

She was becoming extremely attached to Jace and that was making her nervous.
