I'll Never Let Them Hurt You

CHAPTER 1

‘Congratulations, Mr. Way, Mrs. Jameson! Excellent job, as usual,’ Ms. Johnson, the Chemistry teacher said, handing out a paper marked A+. Mikey and Evelyn grinned at eachother, not paying attention to the glares coming from their classmates. They were the perfect students, the ones who always get As and never enrage the teachers. The nerd kids, to make it short, but they couldn’t care less. They had one another and that was more than any of them could ask for.

They had met on their first day in highschool. Her green eyes were hurriedly searching for a friendly face amongst the crowd of teenagers. None would even acknowlege her being there at all. She tried to reach for her class in a sea of elbows crashing on her; her eyes stubbornly looking at the floor, she bumped into someone, dumping all her books and landing herself on the floor.
‘I’m sorry,’ a soft voice came from somewhere over her head. Evelyn looked up and saw a clumsy-looking boy looking at her through black-rimed glasses. ‘I didn’t see you coming,’ he said, extending his hand to her.
‘Thank you, ‘ Evelyn blushed, trying to get all her books from the floor.
‘Here, let me help you.’ He picked up her books and helped her up. ‘I’m Mikey Way, by the way,’ he said, extending his hand to her. She laughed and he blushed, realising how dumb that had sounded.
‘I’m Evelyn Jameson. I’m new and I was trying to find my way to the Chemistry class. Any idea where it is?’
‘Well, I’m heading there, too. We can go together if you want to.’
‘Thank you. I’d love to,’ she smiled.
From that day on, they were inseparable and then gradually turned from having a beautiful friendship to their first love.

They headed out of the classroom to the lockers, ready to go back home. This day was special, it was their first month together aniversary and Mikey had planned a romantic night for them at his place. He had made sure that his elder brother, Gerard, was out of the house and the further away from it as possible. One would have thought that Gerard would help him being out of the way, but sadly it was not the case.
Gerard was a senior this year and one of the most popular guys. He and his friend Frank Iero were always picking on Mikey for being a “brain”, as they called him. At first they just called him names, but lately it had become more than that, they had actually started hitting him. One morning Mikey showed up with a black eye and Evelyn knew it had been Gerard. He excused his big brother by saying it had been an accident, or that he had fallen and hurt himself in some way. Evelyn never said a thing, knowing that it hurt Mikey deeply when someone spoke ill of Gerard.
‘So, at seven in your house?’ Evelyn asked, stopping in front of him.
‘Yes, Eve. I’ll see you later,’ Mikey said, kissing her softly on her cheek. Evelyn watched him walking out of the school and smiled. She couldn’t believe how lucky she was of having him.

The sound of the bell ringing made him jump. Mikey was leaning over the table he had set himself along with the decoration of the room: a long red tablecloth, two dishes, a red rose resting on one, two glasses of champagne, red candles illuminating the room, casting shadows everywhere and soft music completing the right atmosphere.
‘Coming!’ Mikey said, as he hurried to the front door, checking that his hair was neat, and not the messy disaster it always was. He opened the door and a sigh escaped his mouth as he admired the girl in front of him.
‘You look beautiful,’ he said, as she walked inside. Evelyn was wearing a a black tanktop decorated with a white fairy on a side and a grey skirt. Her black hair hung loose over her shoulders and some flocks partially covered her emerald green eyes.
‘Wait a minute. I want it to be a surprise,’ Mikey said as he positioned himslef behind Evelyn and covered her eyes with his hands. ‘No peeking,’ he breathed near her ear and he felt her shiver. ‘Ok, you can open them now,’ he said, placing his hands on her shoulders.
‘Oh, Mikey! It’s so beautiful!’ Evelyn exclaimed as she took in every detail he had carefully prepared.
‘Everything for my little baby.’
Evelyn turned around in his arms and kissed him sweetly.
‘Here, let’s eat.’ Mikey walked her to the table and helped her with her chair. He served the food and the glasses. Taking his, he raised it a little and said,’ To our love.’
‘To our love,’ she mimicked, and took a sip of the bubbling drink.

After dinner, Mikey took Evelyn to the living room, where he had dressed the sofa with a big light blue cover. The room was illuminated by candles as well. They lied down and listened to the rain that had started falling noisily. Evelyn rested her head on his chest and interlaced her fingers in his.
‘Thank you,’ she whispered, barely audible. She looked up and saw a big smile on his face, his eyes sparkling through the glasses.
‘I love you,’ he smiled, caressing her face with his long fingers.
‘I love you too, Mikey,’ she said, before kissing him. They started kissing, sweetly at first, and more passionately later. Her breaths were getting faster and her heart was beating loudly inside her chest. Mikey slided his hand from her hair, to her back and under her skirt. He felt her shiver and tremble and stopped.
‘I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to... It’s ok if you’re not ready...’
She put a finger to his lips and kissed him again. ‘I’m ready. It’s just that I am nervous. Go slowly, ok?’
He smiled broadly and nodded. ‘Don’t worry. I’ll never hurt you. Come.’ He took Evelyn’s hand and lead her to his bedroom. It was a small room, with not much furniture. A bed by a window was illuminated by the moonlight, which casted odd glittery reflections because of the rain drops. Mikey was lost in the depths of her eyes, which looked back at him with reasurance and love. He reached for her tanktop, undid the knot behind her neck and pulled it off. Evelyn shivered, not because she was cold but because of anticipation of what was about to happen.
He unclasped her bra and let it fall to the floor, revealling her small breasts. He carefully cupped them with his hands and caressed them softly, making her moan. He lowered his hands to her skirt, taking it out and putting it aside. Evelyn started undoing his belt with shaky hands after taking off his t-shirt. Mikey led her to the bed, lying down on top of her, first kissing her neck and biting softly and then making his way down to her breats. His hands on her skin were revealing sensations unknown to her, to any of them. They explored their bodies, touching, kissing. He slipped his fingers to her tights and slowly made his way to her already wet panty. He was looking for her reactions at every touch, every move he made. He wanted it to be the perfect experience for her. He pushed the fabric aside and started tracing circles over her body, making her twitch and scream his name. Her hand shot to his erection, massaging and making him moan as well. After some minutes, Mikey took off his boxers and her panty and positioned himself on top of her.
‘I love you,’ he whispered, looking at her in the eyes. He pressed slowly to her tightness and started to get inside of her, watching her closely. Once inside, he moved slowly, making sure to take in every sensation, to get used to it. He gradually started to move faster as the pain receded and pleasure was taking its place. Evelyn wrapped her legs around his waist and moaned his name in his ear as her orgasm washed her over like a warm wave. He came with her and collapsed on top of her body, breathing hard and with a big smile on his face. They were bound together now. Bound by a secret ritual that they had decided to share with one another.
