Dominic

Wounds?

They were tiny pin pricks for goodness sake, it's not like he just got back from war and was riddled with bullets!

I didn't say anything though, I instead tilted my head down and quickly moved away before I snickered a little at my thoughts.

"No, I'm fine miss," Dominic replied to the miss then walked in the same direction as me.

"You'll be sorry for this Bronagh, very sorry," his voice growled from behind me.

I sighed because I knew that he would follow through with his threat and make me sorry, very sorry.

"Shite, sorry, I wasn't watchin' where I was goin'," I gasped when I literally walked into somebody and knocked them over as I exited the school gates.

I was in a world of my own, replaying what Dominic had said to me this morning in my head. I felt sick over it all day, but felt even worse when I spotted whom I knocked over. It was Jason.

Fuck!

I reached down to help Jason to his feet. I might not like him, but I wasn't above helping someone when I was in the wrong.

He didn't want my help though, and slapped my hand away. I jumped back a little and snatched my hand away, cradling it with my other hand. His slap hurt my hand; it was stinging. But I jumped back more so in shock that he actually hit me rather than the pain I felt.

"You stupid fuckin' bitch, look what you did to me new ru

He pulled me forward making me stumble. "You're payin' for these, you ugly, fat cunt!" he growled.

I nodded my head frantically, feeling tears well up in my eyes. He had never been physical with me before; I was used to the name-calling, but him actually hurting me upset me a lot.

"I will, I'm so sorry," I blurted out.

I was terrified and also was seriously shocked. I couldn't believe he was manhandling me right now, especially in front of passing students.

Jason glared at me for a moment, his eyes sca

I breathed in relief but then gasped when the person who caught me, rounded on me. I didn't even hide my surprise and widened my eyes to the point that they stung me.

"Dominic?" I said, staring at his grey eyes which were narrowed and slightly twitched.

He looked furious.

"Are you okay?" he asked me, looking at my cheeks.

It was only then that I felt the fat tears from before stream down my cheeks; I quickly wiped them away and nodded my eyes. The hiccup and fresh tears that followed proved me a liar though.

Dominic set his jaw as he looked at my face. "Step back and then don't move a muscle," he said to me; his voice sounded deeper than usual, and it freaked me out a little.

I did as he asked without question, for once, then I watched in confusion as he handed me his school bag from off his back and turned his back to me. When he started towards Jason, my stomach flip flopped.

He wasn't going to do what I thought he was, was he?

"Can you believe that cunt, man?" Jason asked Dominic, chuckling.

Dominic didn't say a word as he swung his fist and it co

I even tried to move towards the lads to stop the fight, but an arm around my waist held me in place.

"Don't interfere, it will only make him angrier, because he told you not to move."

I twisted my head around and seen Dominic's face only with blond hair framing it.

Damien.

"Damien, stop them!" I begged.

Damien smiled at me, and I was a little surprised that I noticed how different his smile was from Dominic's. He didn't have dimples whereas Dominic did. I was then pissed off at myself for noticing that and turned my head back towards the two eejits rolling around on the ground.

"Stop!" I shouted when Dominic's fist cracked into Jason's jaw making some girls who were observing the fight scream and gasp.

I winced, along with some others, when we heard a really high pitched scream.

"Stop. Oh, my God, stop!"

I looked and saw Jason's girlfriend, Micah, run from the school gates towards us at high speed.

This was going to be so bad. Once she found out that I was the reason the lads were fighting, she was going to kill me. She hated me as it was, thanks to Jason's attempt to kiss me last week at the kissing booth.

When Dominic landed another hit on Jason's face, some of Jason's friends who were standing back, and letting them go at it because it was a fair fight, suddenly stepped in to break it up. Jason got a decent punch on Dominic's jaw first though, and it made me wince.

When Jason's friends pulled them apart, I twisted out of Damien's hold and started forward.

"Dominic, stop!" I said when I noticed him trying to go for Jason again.

I put my body in front of him and placed a hand on his chest.

He was looking over my head with his eyes narrowed. When I touched him he looked down at me, and his face changed, it softened. I frowned when I spotted the cut on his eyebrow. It was starting to swell and blood was surrounding it.

"Please," was all I said and pressed on his chest in an effort to get him to back off.

I couldn't believe he fought Jason and to make matters worse, it was because of me.

"Come on, bro, you beat his ass. Nothing left to prove," Damien said as he landed a hand on Dominic's shoulder.

Dominic growled.

Yes, growled.

"He put his hand on what's mine, don't fucking tell me I don't have something to prove."

His?

What!?

What did that mean?

Seriously, what the fuck did that mean?!?

"Nico! What the fuck is your problem, man?" Jason's voice shouted from behind me, making me jump.

Dominic turned my body and carefully pushed me behind him.

"My problem? What the fuck is yours?" Dominic bellowed.

"Mine? What do you mean-"

"You fucking touched her!" Dominic roared, making me jump.

"Who?" Jason asked then laughed when I poked my head out from behind Dominic only to retreat back behind him. "Bronagh? You jumped on me because of that fat bitch?"

I dropped his bag and gripped onto Dominic's waist when he tried to dart forward. "Stop!" I screamed.

Dominic tried to shake me off him but, in doing so, his elbow hit off my cheekbone, making me hiss. Dominic didn't notice that he hit me, but Damien did.

"Dominic!" he roared.

Dominic snapped his head in Damien's direction.

"You're scaring her, bro."

Dominic growled as he turned and looked back to Jason and snarled. "Put a finger on her again, and I'll kill you. Call her names again, and I'll kill you. If you so much as look at her again, I'll fucking kill you. Understand, man?"

Jason shook his head at Dominic. "What fuckin' ever, man," he said then turned to Micah, who was fussing over his face and kissing him, which Jason's friends found amusing.
