Previously…..on TOUGH LOVE….
Oliver’s pov
Everything went black.
I opened up my eyes but only saw blurr.
But it was a man.
He picked me up so gentle…
He seems very strong…
Then…everything went black….
So quiet…so peaceful….
..
Now***
…..
Mmm….
Wha….what happend…?……
I open my eyes slightly…..
It’s still blurr…
I’m laying down…..
On a bed……
I hear voices..but …..bearly…..
” I know honey that you are upset but-“
“Upset??? That doesn’t even cover what I’m feeling right now…”
” it’s those boys huh?”
” they got suspended for 1 month. I know it affects their will to graduate, but they should be expelled for what they did to him….this is unacceptable!”
I hear a deep sigh…..
” nurse Marge….is he going to be alright”
Nurse Marge? I’m in school nurses office.
Nurse Marge:” yes sweetheart he is. I’ve patched up his cuts and rewrapped his broken hand.
I do as well think it is unacceptable that they are only getting suspension but there is nothing we can do about it….but you did hurt them may i add…”
Nurse Marge is a sweet old lady. She’s always tooken care of my injuries.
” they deserve such pain for what they did to him.”
But who’s the other voice…?
I blink a couple times.
I got my full vision back.
…Damon!???
He looks at me with anger and concern..
He stood with his arms crossed.
He had a almost a formal looking jacket. It was back unbuttoned with a white dress shirt to go under. With some black long dress pants.
For a guy that athletic I wouldn’t expect it. But from a rich guy?
Nurse Marge:” oh your up. Good. How are you feeling darling?”
I looked at her.
Oliver:” I feel fine”
I got up a bit.
And winced a bit from my broken hand.
I looked at my forarm…
Oh right….dick carved “Fag” on my arm..
Nurse Marge:” oh be careful darling. Oh poor thing….those boys really hurt you…”
I also feel a bandage on my face by my eye. Oh right. The cut.
….
Damon:” I’m sorry..”
I looked up quickly at Damon.
Almost forgetting he’s there.
He looks at me concerned.
Jeez he’s hot…….
Oh!
Oliver:” oh! Yes yes I’m fine. And why are you sorry? You didn’t do this, so you have nothing right be sorry about,”
I say almost talking fast out of nervousness..
Damon goes closer to me…
Damon:” i apologize…for not getting there fast enough….to stop them….before they did this to you….”
….
He says grabbing my left arm.
I go red.
Oliver:” oh its- it’s fine really! They’ve done things to me alot. Nothing really quite this far but it’s fine.”
He looks at me looking pissed…
Damon:” They’ve done other things to you? Like what?!”
He says with his deep voice almost yelling…
My voice goes guiet….
Oliver:” i..mean….I’ve known them since freshmen….and they have been doing simple stuff like, writing on my desk, fag and stuff, teasing me, then it got physical in junior and sophomore years, like beating me up for no reason, pushing me into lockers. Then this year….it got violent, like beating me up more, breaking my fingers, and now this knife carving thing…..”
I just starting ramping on about what they did.
Kinda makes me realize that if this goes any further…they might actually kill me……
I stopped spacing out and looked at damon…….
Oh shit…….
He looks…….fucking….pissed……
Damon:” you mean….they have been doing this stuff for years?…..and no one would help?…”
Oliver:” I’ve tried going to teachers but they either don’t care or I just can’t get to them cuz , again dick and the others would threatened to beat me up…..they do regardless…”
Damon just looks at me….
Then moves his hand to the cut by my eye….strokes it softly…..
I go red twice as much…..
Then he backs up and leaves the room.
….
The fuck just happened????
Did ….did he just……?
I don’t even know what he did!!
Nurse Marge:” I suggest you head on home darling. Your wounds needs to be treated.”
I cant…..even if I go home and tell dad. He wouldn’t care and wouldn’t bother bringing me to the doctors.
I just nod at her.
I get up and was about to leave out the door.
But I stopped.
I turn back at nurse Marge..
Oliver:” nurse Marge?…..what happened before I came to this room?”
Nurse Marge:” oh it was something. Young Damon seemed so upset. Had carried you on up here and sat you down. I questioned him cuz he had bloody knuckles. He told me that there were two kids down there that needed some treatment. I went down and saw them..Oh they had blood face and all. Well enough to stand yes. I offered to patch them up but they said no. Then a teacher somehow knew all of this and rushed in the room. Told the boys to head to the office. After that I assume they went to the doctors now… “
Damon….saved me?
Holy shit…….
Time lapes*
I walk out of the school.
The rain went down my face.
I close my eyes listening to the rain.
It’s nice….
Them a sudden flashback to the gentle touch to my face back at the nurses office with damon…
His hands were smooth and big.
It basically cupped half my face.
Then I remembered nurse Marge and Damon’s conversation.
Damon seemed so concerned.
But..
Oliver:” why?….”
I say to myself over the rain.
…
Okay so imma walk home….kinda nice. Just imma try not to get too soked so I don’t get sick.
I started to head down the street.
The rain reminds me of the ocean waves crashing into each other.
…..
I lose myself into thought.
Til…
ROOM ROUMM VROOM***
I hear a familiar run of an engine getting louder.
Turn to look at the Lamborghini that I had saw this morning…
Damon?….
It had stopped next to me.
The window rolled down.
And there I see damon with his dark brown eyes starting at me.
Damon:” come in.!…”
He says yelling over the loud rain.
I thought for a moment.
I don’t want to be a bother to him….
Damon:” your not doing anything wrong. I’m just offering you a ride.”
…
Oliver:” no thanks ….I’m good walking in the rain.”
I don’t want to let him think, just cuz he’s a Rich boy don’t mean he can just pick up anyone in that car.
But it’s a nice offer.
Then…
The car engine stopped while it parks a bit ahead.
Then I see a black umbrella unfold while Damon gets out and locks his car.
I stop in my tracks just to look at him.
He walks over to me.
Til I’m under the umbrella.
Hearing the the drops on the umbrella. As he stood over me.
Oliver:” what…?…”
Damon:” I’m walking with you.”
What!?
Oliver:” what no! You have a car!”
I say yelling over the rain.
Damon:” since you don’t want to get in the car. I’ll walk with you. Just to see if you get home safe.”
I look at him with a confused look.
As water drops fall on my face. My hair and cloths soke.
Oliver:” im all wet. I don’t want to ruin your car. “
He chuckles.
Then smiles abit….
Whoa…..that smile…..
I go red…..
I turned away…
Oliver:” I have a question…”
He tilts his head a bit in curiosity…
Oliver:” why me?”
Damon had a straight face.
Oliver:” I mean. I’m a nobody. I have no friends. I’m not popular. I’m to myself. How did you… all Rich, popular, athletic, smart kind of guy, payed any fucken attention to me?”
He raises his eyebrow a bit and smirks.
Damon:” come in the car. Do you have anything to do at home that’s stopping you to come with me?”
I thought for a moment.
I mean….I am not supposed to be home til the next 5 hours…..and I’m sure as shit dad will be pissed that I’m home early while he’s doing his things.
Oliver:” fine……”
He unlocks his car and gestures me to go towards the passenger side.
He walked with me as the umbrella kept me from getting anymore soked.
He opens the door and I go in.
It smells LIKE a fresh new car. The seats are comfy and it’s warm.
Damon shuts the door and goes round to the other side.
He opens his side and sits in. Unfolding his umbrella and putting it in the back. Then closes his door.
The engine roars as he starts up the car.
I almost flinch at the noise.
Many loud noise disturbs me cuz of my dad. Loud noises means his pissed off 99% of the Dame time.
Then he drives off.
The windshields Wiping side to side off the raindrops.
He put on classic music on.
He doesn’t drive as fast as he did with the girls.
…
We drove for a bit just listening to the music.
Kinda peaceful actually. Between the rain falling and the music and the smooth ride.
Kinda aesthetic…
Damon broke this what seemed to be forever silence.
Damon:” you don’t gave to worry about them anymore…..”
I turned to damon as he drove.
Oliver:” why? …..Did you tell them to leave me alone? Cuz they won’t. “
I say as i scoffed.
I turn back to the misty rainy road in front of me.
….
Damon:” they’re expelled…”
….
My eyes go wide.
I quickly turned back at damon.
He doesn’t react. He just has his as always serious face on.
….
I look down…lost in my thoughts.
He got them expelled???
….wow……..I mean…………
Damon:” they won’t bother you anymore.”
…
Oliver:” I dont know what to say. I mean…..thank you…?……..is that why you left the nurses office?…to get them expelled?”
He nods…still driving.
Oliver:” you didn’t have to go through so much trouble for me..”
Damon:” nonsense. They got what they deserve…..”
He says still with a serious face
I just look away.
Dame…..
Oliver:” w-what can I do to repay you back?”
Damon:” mm?”
He says in a tone of confusion…
Oliver:” you did this for me…….literally took away my main problem in school. And I would feel awful if I just walk away without paying you back with something”
Has a low chuckle.
Oliver:”w-what?”
Damon:” you don’t need to do anything Oliver”
He says in a low voice.
I go red…
Shit….im guessing he got my name from the nurse. She knew me well.
Damon:” I got your name from the nurse in case your wondering..
Oliver:” no I kinda figured. “
I say as he stops at a red light.
Oliver:”so….where are we going?”
Damon:” to my house…..get you changed into warm dry cloths before you get sick. “
Oliver:” oh I don’t want to cause you too much.”
He drives off as the light turns green.
Damon:” your not.”
I stay silent for a bit.
…
Time lapes**
Damon:” here we are…”
I look around and see what almost looks like a Castel.
But it’s a mansion.
The mansion is surrounded by trees and a big fence.
Oliver:” dame…..guessen your parents are pretty successful?”
He smirks.
He stops in front of a gate.
The gate had HELLINGS on the top.
He rolled down his window as he stops beside what looks like a comm.
Unknown:” name?”
Damon:” Damon Hellings”
Unknown:” very good sir.”
The gates open.
He drives through…
He around a fountain to the front.
There was a man waiting there with an umbrella.
He stops and puts it in park.
He gets out with the umbrella.
Damon then gone over to the old man with the umbrella.
I only see gestures of damon and the old man nodding.
Then Damon walks over to my side of the car door. He opens it.
I step out with my bookbag hanging by one strap on my shoulder.
Damon held the umbrella under me and him as well were escorted by the old man.
The old man was wearing a tux. I’m guess he’s the butler?..
The two double doors open.
And I swear..it’s like a whole Castel….
I go in and look around.
It’s bright.
Stairs in the middle that let to two directions. Left and right.
More doors and hall ways lead the way from there.
Main vibrant colors I see..is black, white, gold and red.
Around to my right was a living room. Black couches , flat TV screen above a fireplace.
With a black piano to the side.
Carpets lay under the couches and piano.
To my right was like a trophie room.
So many medels rewards, and certificates.
The old man came up to me.
Old man:” may I sir”
He gestures to take my bookbag.
Oliver:” uh….sure?”
The old man took and took Damon’s jacket, and went off.
Damon starts to head to the stairs.
Damon:”let’s go.”
He walks up.
I walk up the stairs slowly.
Admiring the art hanging up.
The Helling portrait hanging above the stairs.
I look up and see a crystal chandelier, shimmering and shining.
Damon:” you coming?”
I looked at him.
Oliver:” yeah.”
…
We go up and down a hall.
There were some doors to left of us.
The main colors here were white, red and black.
Down the hall was two doors.
White but with golden fancy knobs.
Damon opens them.
Inside was a huge room.
To the right side
There is…
A two step stairs that lead to a big master bed to the right side of the room white sheets with black pillows.
Black carpet under it.
To the left is a couch that has a flat screen TV and shelves of again…trophies. Red couches sat Ina round formance. With a round table in the middle.
He’s an athletic guy.
Competes in alot of things. That’s why there’s so much winnings and success in this room.
Pictures of old art hangs around his room as well.
Some of Leonardo DaVinci arts.
And some of paccasos.
Oliver:” your into art huh?”
..
He looks around then at me.
Damon:” it’s beautiful….it’s what expresses me…”
I look at him.
Then at there are some paint around a canvas on a stand.
Wow….
It was a painting of a person’s face, with all types of flowers around it.
Oliver:”…..you…..made this..?”
He nods.
Damon:” yes..”
Oliver:” wow…..as athletic and serious, you always are….I never thought you’d be talented with such….a beautiful gift…”
I say looking at the painting.
Then I took a quick Glace at damon.
I see him smirk.
His eyes almost calm.
…
Damon:” I’ve told Ron to get you some warm clothing.”
I looked at him confused.
Oliver:” Ron?”
There was a knock at the door.
Damon:” come in.”
The old man from before.
Ron:” Here you are sir.”
He hands me some clothing, then leaves the room.
Oliver:” thank you?”
Then I looked at damon.
Oliver:” uh….where’s the restroom.
Damon point to a door to the right of the TV.
I open it.
Whoa…
The bathroom is huge….
The shower was silver with a square nossle . That’s the first thing you see. With a sliding door.
To the left of when you walk in….
The counter that has a shiny black marble.
With two sinks.
And toilet across from the sink.
I walk in and close the door.
I took a deep breath. Comprehending what’s going.
Okay.
Dick being a dick. Damon saves me. Gets him exspelled! Gives me a ride…..to his house!….a fucken manstion!!….found out his a Dame artist!…..now I’m in a really cool looking bathroom in his bedroom.
Yeah seems like a whole bunch of normal bullshit to me!
Mm…
I changed into the warm clothing.
It a bit big.
A plain black t-shirt.
And some a bit baggy ripped up jeans.
Me being careful with my broken/carved in arm….
Well it’s gunna have to work for now..
I walk out.
Damon is sitting on the couch.
He sees me.
And chuckles…
Oliver:” what’s so funny?”
Damon:” guess it’s a bit big.”
Oliver:” gee ya thinks?”
He smirks.
Oliver:” who cloths are these anyway?”
Damon:” mine….from couple years ago.”
Oliver:” dame so you grew that big in that period of time….props to you”
He just stares at me….
Oliver:” sooo….what now?..”
Damon:” well I have a doctor on their way to professionally get your wounds done….what do you do in your spare time.”
Oliver:” …oh you do?….thank you…….and well I read….onn my spare time…I know..I boring…not as fun as you painting. “
Damon:” well what books do you like to read?.”
I look at him.
Oliver:” I love all of them…mainly in the thriller, sci-fi kind of stuff.. the mysterious world and imagination the books hold. It’s mind blowing…this one time I read-“
I stopped knowing I’m just ramping on about books…
Oliver:” sssorrry…..kinda lost it there..”
Damon:” no its ok. I like to read as well.”
I looked at him with and eye brow. Saying it in disbelief.
Oliver:” you read?”
Damon:”….follow me..”
He walks over the the door on the left of the TV.
He opens it.
I walked in…
.
……..
what!?!?!?
Oliver:” you basically have your own fucken libary!!!!!”
It was room filled with books!
Shelves filled with it. Against the walls.
All labels that’s says.
Horror…thiller…fiction…non-fiction…romance…..LGBTQ+ YOU NAME IT!!..
wow……..
Damon:” you like it?
Oliver:” words….dont…even compare…..”
I say breathlessly…
Damon:” you can read them if you’d like…”
Oliver:” really!?”
I look at him.
He smiles…
I go red…..
Damon:” yes.”
I smile and ran up to the thriller section.
I run my fingers through….
I look up and down…
And then I see a book that catches my interests.
” A Catch in the wind”
Oh such a good book.
I read it about 5 times already.
It was on a top shelve.
…
I reach for it…
Till it fell..
Then..
Someone behind me had caught it
I turn around and Damon’s tall ass was standing there with the book in his hands.
Damon looks at it.
Damon:” A Catch in The Wind huh?”
I just smiled at him.
Oliver:” it’s a good book. I’ve read it many times. Never gets old.”
I go for the book til..
He stretches up his arm with the book in his hand, puts it in the air…
Obviously out of my reach.
I give him a what the fuck, confused look.
Damon:”……can you read to me?..”
I look at him…
I can feel my face go hot and red.
..
Oliver:” what…?…”
To be continued….
Next update soon….

I kinda lost myself into this book.
Oh wells.
