Chapter 7: Will You Catch Me?

It's been a week since that crazy day, Justin was gonna spend a long time in jail for what he did. Mason was doing well. As for Blaze, I haven't had the chance to talk to him. I told my parents how things with Justin were. Needles to say, dad wanted to rip his head off, mom was angry big time. They said with things like these, I shouldn't keep quiet. And they're right. They also said I needed to go to therapy, said I went through so much. Tomorrow I was starting therapy, nothing like reliving the past. Woohoo.

I was going to my locker and it happened again. "I'm so sorry." Yeah I bumped into him. I swear I need to pay more attention.

"It's okay, how are you?" He asked.

"I'm doing better, I'm going to therapy tomorrow." I sighed.

"It will help you, you may think you don't need it. But you do, you went through hell. I mean the first time you saw me you thought I was gonna hurt you. Trust me, not everyone out there will hurt you." He said.

"Well, you're intimidating. I mean dude, you're the tallest guy here." I grinned, he chuckled.

"That's a good thing, people don't mess with me. They think I'm way too serious."

"Are you? I mean you have that look of touch me and I'll break you." I said as he chuckled.

"Well, sometimes I can be. The only who breaks all that seriousness is my baby sis."

"Aww, that's so sweet." I smiled.

"She's something else, she's the little boss. You know what she told me? She said bring a girlfriend home, capicce?" He said making me laugh.

"Well, don't keep her waiting."

"Well, I told her I would as soon as I met someone special. And I already did. But baby sis will have to wait for a bit."

"Oh well, you treat your girl nice. Don't be a Justin." I said.

"Trust me, I'll make sure she's well treated, spoil her, kiss her and tell her how much she means to me." He smiled. Man, the world should be filled with Blaze. Such a gentleman.

"She will be a lucky girl." I said as he nodded.

"Want to grab something at this bakery after school, I love their brownies." He said as I nodded.

▪▪▪▪▪▪

Day went by, and after school we drove to the bakery. As I walked in I was pulled into a double hug.

Yeah we came to Nanas bakery. "How are you?"

"I'm okay, I'm better." I said as they hugged me again.

"Blaze, these are my Nanas. Nanas this is Blaze." I said as they shook hands.

"You two look young to be Nanas." He said.

"I like him, he's a keeper." Nana Alexis said.

"Nana!"

"What, just saying the truth." She shrugged before leaving, Blaze just chuckled.

"My wife, everyone." She said before leaving.

"They're so cool." He chuckled.

"They're something else." I said as we went to sit down.

"So Blaze, tell me about you?"

"Well, I have a little sister, my parents work in the business world and this is the third time we're changing cities cause of their work."

"Good thing I'll be eighteen in a few months, cause then I won't have to change. And I don't want to, I have a reason to stay." He smiled.

"Aww, I bet is that girl. How come you're here with me and not with her?" I asked.

"And who says I'm not already with her." He smirked.

"Wait, are you saying you're interest in me?" I asked confused.

"I am, does that scares you?"

"No, I just didn't think you would be interest in me. Considering I'm a mess and what went down." I sighed.

"You're a beautiful mess." He grinned.

"Charming." I chuckled.

"Thought so. I know you're not ready for anything romantic. But I want to get to know you more. If you allow me. I promise I won't hurt you."

"Say yes, little princess." I turned to see my nanas. Of course they were spying.

"Okay, I just have one question." I said as he looked at me.

"Will you catch me?

"Always, I'll catch you before you fall." He smiled making me smile.

"Okay. We can get to know more about each other." We smiled.
