He grabbed her hand and walked her out into the courtyard. “Listen to me Sierra i have loved you ever since I walked in here the day i transfered schools.” Sierra sunk to the cold grassy ground and sat with her hands over her knees. “What about this girlfriend of yours are you going to cheat on her?” “What?her no we broke up the day after we started dating, she just kept following me around trying to make me change my mind.” “So all the rumors are true then that you like me even though every other guy hates me?” Cody sighed and sat down next to her grabbing one of her hands. “I love you, you can’t ever change that.” she turned towards him with tears running down her cheeks. “Cody I love you too, it’s just my last boyfriend was a real asshole and I don’t think I can take anymore pain.” Cody pulled her into a loving embrase, kissing the top of her head. “I’ll never hurt you.” She smiled and slowly stopped crying. “I hope so because I’ve had enough of asshole boyfriends.” “I’ll hurt anyone that hurts my baby.”
