Grace's pov:It was lunch time and almost every student was in canteen. Me and Candice don't go there because no one likes us there. Except Joshua and Brandon. We were sitting at the seats of basketball court. Candice was busy in her phone and I was gazing some players practicing for their upcoming basketball match. Suddenly Candice cursed beside me "Oh shit!".I snapped my head to her and asked "What happened?" in confusion. "U-uh nothing." she said seeming like nervous. "What happened Candice?" I again asked staring deadly in her eyes. "Brandon just messaged me, that Stacey bitch is asking out Joshua for a coffee date." she said hesitantly. How dare she? That bitch! Josh is mine and he will go anywhere with me only. He will hangout with me only. "Anyways it's not our busi-------" as Candice was saying but I got up and strode towards the canteen room. IT IS MY BUSINESS! BECAUSE JOSHUA IS MINE. I don't care from where this possessiveness came from. But he'll be mine. He
Joshua's pov:She kept gazing in my eyes and the intensity of the moment was very warm and loving. I gazed in her blue eyes which were matching with the colour of the ocean. Emotions swirling in her eyes. From this I got to know one thing she is not cold and emotionless she hides her emotions to show the people that she is strong but I know the little bay inside her is still there craving for some love and affection. I never thought the girl whom I thought is a package of problem will give me my solace. I like when her interact with me when with other people she keeps her guards up. She had a mental breakdown infront of me and I saw a fragile and innocent baby in her. Only I have saw this and I'm so proud of it that she is not afraid of showing her true emotions to me. What she want, if she is getting that from me then I'll give her that more and more. I don't care if she pushes me away but I'll give my best and spoil her with so much love and affection. Love? Is this love that I'
Joshua's pov:I was walking to my school thinking about yesterday's moments I spent with Grace. I know they were not perfect but they give an odd satisfaction. Without her my life is nothing but only boring. If she was not here with me then what would I did? Go to school, meet Brandon and Candice, had lunch with Stacey and others and come back to home. Anything interesting? No! But that she is here she fights with me, gets mad at me, she beats people and always run to protect them then she again fights with me, me always irritating her and stopping her from smoking and not to miss her little possessiveness over me. Which she showed yesterday. She is insane. I think I started liking her.And now because of her I'm losing my sanity. I also love it a lot when among the students of the whole school she is possessive over me. Atleast I'm something to her. Maybe a friend? As I was walking I saw the same rose plant which I saw that day and a little boy was trying to pluck a red rose
Grace's pov:I was sitting on my bench gazing out of the window thinking about Joshua. He said I deserve every happiness but do I? He knows nothing. He knows nothing how I'm a burden to my parents. A failure to Mrs. S-- whatever. An undeserving person to everyone. And in all of them he thinks I deserve happiness and I deserve the world. Hah! What nonsense. Only he thinks this. 'Because he is the only one after Candice who cares for you.' my inner voice mocked me. I gazed at the red rose in my hand which he gave me. Was I still holding it? He gave me this beautiful red rose thinking how much pure I'm but he doesn't know I can ruin this rose by my darkness. Because I'm an unlucky charm to everyone. I turned my head to back and saw him talking with Brandon and laughing quietly so the teacher won't catch them. I again turned to the window not knowing what to think so I put that rose in between my new book and closed it to secure the rose between the pages. Yeah new book because I've n
Joshua's pov:"What do you want to talk to me?" I asked the trio being confused. "Wait for it, what's the hurry?" Dylan said smirking.The trio went to a bench placed in that empty classroom and sat on it. And signed me to come and stand in front of them. I nodded and went infont of them. "Don't waste my time and say fast, I have to be somewhere." I said getting impatient remembering Grace is waiting for me. "Why are you in so hurry today?" Alex asked amusingly. "Is that bitch Grace waiting for you?" Lucas said. Listening to him, I snapped my head towards Lucas. "Don't say like that about her." I said gritting my teeth. "What will you do? If I say so?" he asked raising his brow. "Saying who got afraid infront of her." I mocked the trio remembering how their mouths sealed when Grace came infront of them that day. The trio's jaws clenched and Dylan grabbed my collar pulling me towards him he spat " We are not afraid of her, Just because she is the daughter of school's trustee we
Joshua's pov:Candice snapped her head towards me pleading with her eyes not to tell anyone. I smirked at her and ignored her. I turned to Brandon and saw him frowning. His face tuned pale. "Why is your face colourless bro?" I asked taunting him. "Me-uh I'll tell the truth Joshua just don't tell anyone." he said defeated and joining his both hands in front of me. "Tell me the truth fast or I don't know for how less time my mouth can be shut." I said showing him my two fingers with a little distance almost making an "O"."You see just a little time away from opening my mouth." I threatened him playfully. Sweat started to forming on his forehead so he started spitting out "Candice is my boyfriend and I'm his girlfriend, she proposed me one day."I sniggered at his nonsense blabbering and trying to control my laugh very badly. Seeing me laughing he realized what he just said. So he corrected his mistake saying "Candice is my girlfriend and I'm his boyfriend, I proposed her one day."
Grace's pov:I chocked on this bloody sandwich and he started caressing my back concern laced his eyes. I'm so embarrassed. 'Can't you eat properly.' My inner voice yelled. "Why are you embarrassed? It happens." he said smiling at me softly. "How do you know what I was thinking?" I asked surprised. "By seeing your expressions I guessed." he shrugged. I nodded at him and turned my gaze to the blue sea, taking a bite of sandwich. He took out some packet of chips and extended them to me. "What?" I asked. "You can eat them also." he said glancing the packet of my lap. "No I'm fine." I said not want him to think that I'm troubling him. "No, you are not troubling me." he said grinning at me. I snapped my head at him. "Do you read minds?" I asked raising my brow. "I don't know but I can read yours." I said and winked at me. I moved his gaze from me and set on the sea. He also took a bite from his sandwich. His brown hair were flowing by the cool breeze blowing. His eyelashes flut
Grace's pov:Sweat started forming on her forehead. Why so tensed about this necklace? "So am I getting a bicycle or not my lovely mother?" I grinned at her. "See you girl first give me my necklace back." she said gritting her teeth. "Nuh-uh." I said showing her my palm. "First I want my bicycle then I will return your necklace." I said deadpanned."Y-yeah I will buy you the bicycle now give it back." she said stuttering. "No I don't believe you first my bicycle then your necklace." I said. "B-but----" as she was saying I cut her off "No ifs and buts first bicycle then necklace, simple deal." I sad and started walking upstairs to my room twirling the necklace in my finger. "KEEP IT PROPERLY." she yelled from downstair.Huh! Like I care if it broke.I went inside my room and threw the necklace in the drawer of my study table and locked it hiding the key in he bathroom cabinet. Excellent Grace.You are genius. I went to my bed and plopped down on it. What did Josh doing now? I
Joshua's pov:Currently we both are laying on my bed after we came back home. "I'm so happy for you." I said to her. She nodded at me. I glanced at her lips and desire to taste her abrupted in me. So, I smashed my lips on her and kissed her softly. I held her both hands above her head intertwining our fingers. I pulled away and gazed in her eyes breathlessly. "I want you Grace." I told her honestly what I'm feeling now. "Then take me." she said breathing heavily and her eyes closed."We aren't married yet is it okay to you?" I again asked for her consent. "Yes, I trust you." she said intensely. I leaned down and kissed her forehead, her eyes, her nose, her cheeks and then again captured her lips. I moved my lips a little roughly this time and she also kissed me back with the same intensity. I held her head a little up with my hand to deepen the kiss. I pulled out, as she parted her lips to breath I again my smashed my lips on her. She clutched my shoulders tightly because of the
Joshua's pov:(2 years later) :I hope Grace pass out with good grades so that she could get a decent job opportunity. I don't want everyone to graduate leaving her behind. She did hark work for the examination but didn't tell me how did she did in exams. I kept thinking about her, sooner or later, the most awaiting moment came. I found Grace sitting straight and focusing while biting her nails. I swatted her hand away from his mouth. She glanced at me nervous. I put my hand on her and assured her that everything will be fine but inside I'm more nervous than her. "So students... We all expect good things for you, results won't decide your future but still, this would give you a brief overview of how you worked throughout the years." The principal paused and took out three sheets, that were personally decorated. He smiled and continued. "These are the top three names that stood ranking and I'm very glad to call them on the stage." he announced. I glanced at Grace her eyes were close
Grace pov:I smirked at her principal and started telling the truth to the officers. "A group of seniors bullied by boyfriend and hurted him badly that he was hospitalized. Today when I complained about it to our principal he asked me for proof and witness." I said without moving my gaze away from the principal. "Can we talk to the victim?" the officer asked."Yes sure." I said and went outside if the office and took Joshua with me. I make him sit on the chair there. "Hello I'm officer Robinson came here to investigate your case." officer said and shook hand with Joshua. "Hello officer I'm Joshua Williams." he replied. "Joshua we got a complaint about you getting bullied. Is it true?" he asked him. Joshua turned his head to me I nodded at him to tell the truth.I turned his head back and said "Yes officer they bullied me many times but a week ago they crossed their limits." I put my hand on his shoulder to comfort him. The officer nodded and asked "Can we saw the footage of that
Grace's pov:I called Candice and she received the phone. I told her to come to the principal office with Brandon and convince some students to be the witness of Joshua's bullying incident. I hung up the call and dashed to security room. The security incharge was already present there. "Show me the footage of a week ago." I demanded. He nodded and played the footage of a week ago when I played it at the time when Joshua get bullied there was not clip and it was totally blank. How is it possible? There is the footage of whole day but not only of the incident. Now I get that why that principal was asking for proof. He make them remove that clip from the footage so it can't be proved that the a student get bullied in his school. I gritted my teeth. I will not let that happen.I turned to the security incharge. "Where is the clip of the incident?" I asked sternly. "Which incident clip?" he asked acting confused. "Why will I do that? When seniors didn't even bullied ayone?" he said. "
Joshua's pov:She laid down beside me putting her head on my shoulder. "You didn't do anything they did this because you hurted their male ego." I told her softly. "So they should have taken their revenge from me." she spat gritting her teeth. "No, it would have hurted me hundred time more than it is hurting now. I can't see you in pain bellisima." I told her honestly. "Same I can't see you in pain." she said caressing my arm softly. I nodded at her. "But I will make them pay for sure." she said clenching her fists tightly. I took her fist in my hand and caressed it softly with my thumb. "You don't have to." I told her. "Do you want to eat something or do you want anything?" She asked me changing the topic. "No, I just want to lay here with you." I said and shifted her more closer to me and closed my eyes. I enjoyed this peaceful moment with her and don't know when drifted to sleep.-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Grace's pov:He thinks that I will let them go
Grace's pov: He had bruises and cuts all over his face and body. His lips was busted.Touching his bruises softly I sighed. "You have bruises all over your face." I said sadly. He gave me a lip tight smile. "Oww. It hurts." suddenly he hissed. I took my hand back immediately. "I'm sorry." I apologized. "Just kidding." he grinned at me like a fool. This idiot scared me. This time I pressed my finger a little tightly at the same place to make him taste his own medicine. "Owww." he hissed. "It hurts?" I asked smirking at him.He nodded at me. It really hurted him my smirk vanished and eyes softened. I bent my upper body towards him and pecked his busted lip caressing his cheek like it will sooth him. He closed his eyes softly. 'He is in so much pain just because of you.' my inner voice mocked me. I moved my body back, tears were pooled in my eyes. "Hey why are you crying?" he asked surprised on his face."You are hurt because of me." I said and the tear trickle down my cheek. "No
Grace pov:After he fell unconscious in my lap. Kevin brought his car from the parking. Brandon and Jordan placed Joshua on the back seat of it. I also sat back putting his head on my lap. Brandon sat on the passenger seat and Kevin drove the car. My mind has stopped working. I don't know what to say and do. So I called Joshua's mom first. She received the call.~His mom: Hello Grace. ~Me: Aunty. (I whispered.) ~His mom: Yes what happened? ~Me: J-Joshua is injured. (I stuttered out.)~His mom: H-how what happened to him? (She panicked) ~Me: Some seniors bullied him.~His mom: W-where is he? I'm coming. ~Me: We are taking him to the xx hospital. Please you also come fast. ~His mom: Y-yes I'm coming right now. (She hung up the call.)In this duration we reached to the hospital. Brandon ran and called the helpers to take Joshua inside. The helpers came and took out Joshua from the car and out him on the strecher, taking him inside. I followed them. They took him in a room and c
Joshua's pov:My eyes were becoming heavy and they closed. Someone yanked me from the collar and pushed me on the ground. When all the hands get off from me I thought they stopped. Suddenly a very chilling cold liquid was poured on me. When I slowly raised my head to see what it was but was not able to see what it was because of my blurry vision. "Stop." someone unfamiliar voice yelled but I was too numb to recognize the voice. I rubbed my eyes and then tried to see, they were emptying their coke can on me. I tried to shook my head but I didn't have that much strength. The coke was drenching my clothes and they were now stuck to my body completely. When they stopped pouring the coke someone punched me and my lip busted. The metallic taste of blood filled my mouth. I tried to stop them but nothing worked. "Stop." I whispered but I know they didn't even heard it. I gasped when all of them started kicking me. I asked them to stop many time why they were monsters who let their dark side
Joshua's pov:"Grace and Joshua." he said and everyone clapped. I got surprised and hugged Grace in excitement but came to my senses that we are in classroom and deatched from her clearing my throat. She chuckled at my foolishness. "Rowan and Saisha." he announced the last pair's name and everyone again clapped. "Congratulations to the winners. Projects of these three pairs will be sticked to the school's activity board and rest is the students can collect their projects from my desk." he said.The students started walking to the teacher's desk and collected their projects and sat back on their places. Mr. Brown started teaching us the new chapter from our text book. The time passed by and all the teachers came, teach us their subject and went away. Finally the school get over. The four of us decided to celebrate our winning in a cafe. "I will eat so many pastries today." she said getting excited. "Like you don't eat them usually." Brandon replied back. "So what I like them."
