Rachel Sandoval and her big brother Darry have been through quite a lot. They were abused by their father and was left by their mother. Now that Darry turned 18, he has full custody of his 15 year old sister. He's developed this over protective pers...
Rachel's p/v "Are you sure this is a good idea? Maybe it's too early for me to tell him." "Love, if you won't tell him now then when? You can't put this off. Rip the bandaid." "Easy for you to say, you don't have a brother that hates you." "Baby," Tyler stops walking and holds my hands, "Darry doesn't hate you. No one can ever hate you! We're already close to him. Get this over with." "He's hugging Mary. I swear he'll help Mads beat me up if I interrupt." "Nonsense. He's your person. Siblings come first." "But I'd choose you over Darry any day!" He smiles. "Awww, you would?" I smile back. "Yesss, I would! Gimme a kiss." "Anything for you-nope," he lets go of my hands, "no distractions." I sigh. "Worth a try." We continue walking. Darry gazes his eyes on us. Here goes everything. "Rachel, Tyler, how may I help you?" I look at Tyler. He steps forward. "Rachel has something to say to you. In private." "Mary is asleep. She won't hear anything." "Darry, I said in private." "I can't wake Mary up, you understand that right?" "Tyler, this is a waste of time. I told you he won't want to listen to me." "Now hold up, I never said I didn't want to listen to you. Go on, tell me what you want to say." "Wake her up and I'll tell you. You're not winning this, Darry." He sighs and slightly shakes Mary. "Hey, wake up." She breaks free from his embrace and looks up at me. "Mary, you have to go. Rachel has something to say to Darry in private." "I see. Well then, I'll see you in choir." She quickly hugs Darry, gets up and walks away. Darry crosses his arms. "What are you still doing here, Tyler." "I'm staying. Request from Rachel." "I thought it was important?" "It is. Tyler is moral support." "Ok, this better not be one of your schemes, Rachel." "See how he thinks the worst of me? I'm not in conditions to tell him, Tyler." "Darry, you either quit it or I will seriously punch you." "Punch me? I'll like to see you try." "You've had this coming ever since you first made Rachel cry-" "Enough! All I want is to get this other with. Quinn's older sister, Mads, beat me up yesterday. But you don't care so you can go back to hugging Mary or whatever-" Darry shoots up. "Mads beat you up? Why didn't you tell me sooner!" "Like you fucking care. That's all I wanted to say. Goodbye." I turn around but Darry grabs my hand. "Rachel, I'm not going to let this slide. Mads is a junior, in what word does a 17 year old beat up a 15 year old? She's not getting off the hook." "What are you going to do?" "Report her to the school and get her parents involved. I know she gets grounded for even sneaking out of the house to go to the fucking corner store. She will apologize to you." He runs off. I look at Tyler. "See, love? You had nothing to worry about. Come here." He wraps his arms around me but I push him away. "Ouch. Are you still mad at me?" "Not at you, but at me. What kind of weak ass bitch am I? All of middle school I resolved conflicts myself. I didn't need someone to rat them out to the school. I would get in trouble with the principal and move on with my day. So why does this fight hurt? Why do I want Darry to protect me?" "Because your ex friend sent her sister to fight you. Because you know that their mom is very protective over them." "How did you-" "Quinn told me that their mom cares about them a lot. I'm just putting two and two together. We all want someone to protect us, that doesn't mean we're weak. It means we're strong because we're not afraid to ask for help." "I'm not strong. I can't even take a punch anymore." "You haven't gotten hit in a long time, and that's a great thing. It's inmoral to hurt a rose garden." "You keep calling me a rose garden. Why?" "Because you are one. Rachel," he cups my face, "you're the most beautiful, enchanting, strongest girl I have ever met. All the other flowers are jealous of you. Even the ugliest of weather storms can't tear you down. I love you more than anyone in this planet." "Awww, I love you, mi amor. I am so lucky to have you." He smiles and kisses me on the lips. We touch foreheads and rub our noses together. "Rachel! This girl needs to be struck down." Tyler and I pull away. I look at Declan. "Who are you talking about?" He hands me his phone. Oh my God.
