A/n: keep in mind that I wrote this like over two years ago so if you dislike the clothing choices, then imagine it's something else. Those are simply there for a visual. The ppl in the comments rlly need to chill about this 😭💀
I called Leo and I got no answer. I texted him.
Y/n
| Leo, I know you're pissed at me right now and you have every right but I need you right now please call me.

I stood there holding back tears. I would have called my parents but they were in bed. My dad made me promise I wouldn't be out late if he and mom went to bed early. My phone rang and I instantly picked up.
"What's wrong?" Leo sounded pissed.
"Gus" I felt my voice shake and I tried not to start crying. "You were right. I'm so sorry I didn't listen to you." I started crying despite my efforts not to.
"I'm going to fucking kill him. Where are you now?" Leo was obviously extremely upset.
"Stranded in the middle of nowhere. I got out of his car and told him to fuck off that I was walking home but I have no idea how to get home and how long of a walk it would be." I sniffled. I felt so stupid

"Look for a street name and text it to me. I'm on my way as soon as you do." Leo hung up and I didn't even get to say thank you.
I walked down the road and found the street name and sent it to him. I waited for a good 20 minutes until Leo got there. I got into his car shaking.

"I'm so sorry I didn't listen Leo." I started crying again.
"Y/n it's fine really. It's just important that you're okay. Just know that when I see him it won't be going down well." He looked at me.
"Thank you for coming to get me, really." I leaned over and gave him a hug and he returned it tight. I started to cry more in his arms.

Leo took me home and I left him up to my room.
"You don't have to stick around if you don't want to." I sat on my bed.
"If you need me right now, I'm going to be here." He sat next to me.

"I just feel so fucking stupid." I ran my hands through my hair. I felt Leo put an arm around me.
"It's not your fault, y/n. He should have listened when you told him to stop." I'd told Leo everything on the way home.
I laid my head on his shoulder and he brought his other arm around, holding onto me.

School was pretty much the same. Up until 3rd period. The same period I had with Gus. I walked into class and there were snickers and whispers everywhere. Gus obviously told everyone. I went to my seat extremely uncomfortable.
"How's it feel to be a pussy?" Sarah's voice came from behind me and I turned around.
"I wouldn't know. Maybe you can enlighten me." I smiled at her and she rolled her eyes.

The rest of the school day was about the same. Full of laughs and whispers and snarky comments mainly from guys. Once I got home I went straight to my room. I really didn't want to talk to anyone.

My phone rang violently in my pocket.
"Yes?" I sounded tired.
"Sweetie, pull yourself together. We're going out tonight. You deserve it."
"Alex?" I laughed a little. He was so out there.
"No, Brad Pitt." He was sarcastic, "yes it's Alex! Now get your ass up. You're not going to sulk at home because of some dumb high school assholes."
"Fine but I'm not dressing up." I groaned.
"Great! I'll help you pick an outfit." He sounded eager.
"Alex I said I'm not dressing up."
"I can't hear you I'm already hanging up and almost to your house." He hung up and I laughed shaking my head.

Alex busted into my bedroom, "hey, doll face. Get up you're getting a makeover."

"Why couldnt you have asked Adam to go with you?" I groaned again.
"Adam is a loser." He smiled.
"Did you call your own boyfriend a loser?" I laughed.
"Yes, but in a loving way." He went to my closet sifting through things.

Alex was my cousin. He was very ambitious and out going. He was most definitely the fun in any group he was in. I loved him a lot. He was probably my only family member I actually enjoyed being around.

"Put this on I'll turn around." He threw clothes at me and turned around covering his eyes.
I sighed and slipped on the clothes he'd tossed at me.

"Okay I'm decent now." I felt exposed I never dressed like this.
He turned around and his eyes lit up, "girl oh my god! Look at you! You're wearing that I don't care what you say." He had a hand on his hip.

"But don't you think it's...revealing." I crossed my arms.
"Babe, like a little bit of skin is showing. Trust me you look amazing. I honestly don't know if I even deserve to be breathing the same air as you right now."
I laughed at him. Alex was a great hype man.
"Please don't take me to that male strip club again." I made a face.
"That wasn't for you it was for me I just didn't want to go alone." He laughed.

"I don't enjoy have men's asses in my face." I laughed.
"Some of us do." He smiled.

We drove to some sort of club.
I stared at him, "a club? Really?" I hated being social and clubs were out of the question.
"Honey you need to get the hell out of your shell. Meet a nice guy. Have a good time. It's not a crime to try and be happy you know." He leaned over and opened my car door, "everyone needs someone that's going to push them to be their best self. That's me. I'm that guy."
I sighed and got out of the car pulling the bottom of my dress down a little. I was unbelievably scared.
