People had gathered around us.

Some of them quickly scrambled into action at the sight of drama or a showdown. And I. . I looked like if you cut me down you won't find any blood.

Not a drop of it.

My heart leaped to my throat and I kept glancing at my brother and him. My eyes going around wildly as if any minute I was going to witness a gruesome murder.

Logan's nostrils flared and I could see the big fat vein popping out on his forehead. A tale telling sign of his anger and Gloria .. .Gloria had firmly plastered herself against his side , a guarded expression on her face.

"Is this some kind of a sick fucking joke Dean? " Logan snapped taking a threatening step towards Dean but Gloria kept him back.

"No. This is me telling you I love her . I love your sister and it should never be a big deal to you because one day your sister was going to fall in love and that person is me. " Dean said calmly. His thumb running circles on the back of my hand. . trying to soothe me down.

Smooth away the slight tremors in me.

I was freaking shaking!

Logan's face morphed into disgust.

"How. .how could you go behind my back and—," his eyes flickered at me ," my sister Dean!! My fucking sister! " His voice turned cold and this time he shrugged off Gloria with one pull .

Horrified, I saw him coming at us—at Dean—horrified I tried to pull Dean back but he didn't budge. He stood rooted to the spot.

And. . he let go of my hand.

As if signalling me to go away.

No way in hell was i going to go away!

"Dean! " I tugged at his sleeves ," let's go ! We will sort it out later. Please please Dean. .let's go. ." I begged looking wildly at my brother .

Dean shook his head.

"I'll not move an inch until your brother accepts the truth. "

I was about to beg him when I gasped — Dean's face whirled to a side— a line of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth — I clapped a hand on my mouth. . seeing a breathless Logan and his fisted hand. .his knuckles raw and red . .

"I let you in.  Treated you like my own brother and you did what?!!" Logan rasped . . giving me a murderous glance.

Dean wiped the blood with his sleeve.

"I didn't do anything. I fell in love with Daisy. That's all I did—"

The punch came out of nowhere this time .

"Don't fucking take her name!!" Logan looked like a mad man , breathless with aggression . .blind with pride . .he gave no heed to me . .

Dean's cheek turned purple . .the color deepening rapidly. .

He smirked at Logan, a wild glint in his green eyes.

"I'll take her name as much as I like. No one can tell me otherwise and—,"

That's when mad with rage Logan raised his hand and let out a powerful punch but. . . it didn't met Dean's face.

Because I leaped in the middle.

It was a slo mo moment.

Everything slowed out.

Faces morphed into utter horror. Some turned away. Not wanting to witness this.

Gloria screamed.

The hardcore punch plummeted onto the side of ribs and I bent over as if my intestines would turn out of my mouth— the anguish rocked my body — the copper taste of blood in my mouth — my eyes shut — my body absorbing the pain  and just when I thought I was going to fall. .fall down into a pit. . a warm body enveloped me from behind.

Cocooning me.

The arms went around me catching my fall.

If he hadn't caught me I would have collapsed. Face first.

"Daisy ! Daisy!! ! Fucking shit! " Dean's voice filled up with desperation and anger. .and helplessness.

I groaned in response.

Trying not to touch my bruised skin.

"Don't. .don't fight." I tried to speak . .tried to stand up. .tried to breath and it hurt so much.

"I won't ! Even if he kills me I won't!" Dean said fiercely.

And I glanced at my brother.

My shocked to the bones brother.  .he was staring at me in disbelief like he couldn't believe what just happened. .Gloria came over and took him by his elbow. . pulling him back. . talking to him. . pulling him. .

"Come on lets go, love. Let's get out of here. This is not our place. " Dean whispered in my ear. . kissing the side of my head .  .

I nodded .

I so wanted to get out of here.

"You shouldn't have done it. You shouldn't have." Dean kept a saying it over and over again .

I smiled. "I couldn't just stand there and see you get hurt." I winced and he looked liked I kicked him in the gut.

"Idiot! You don't come between two men fighting over . He just wanted to feed his ego and that's it. I knew he would have accepted us— " He cursed seeing the shock of pain on my face when he moved a little too fast.

The next second he didn't let me even protest.

Carefully, oh so carefully...he picked me up.

Bridal style.

Carrying me while people watched .

Turned out my skin was bruised and nothing major. The nurse applied the healing ointment on top and I was good to go.

I couldn't move fast but that was fine by me.

But it certainly wasn't  fine by the grumpy handsome man throwing me hot looks now and then.

He didn't let me out of his sight . Dean brought me lunch and then when I headed towards the loo , he took me to the girl's bathroom and stood like a guard outside the door.

Slowly , I zipped up my pants and then opened the door . . seeing girls giggling and whispering. Dean. .my handsome man was leaning by the door. .his concentration on his cell phone and the second I got out, he slipped this phone back in his pocket.

"I'm done." I grinned . Like it was the biggest news of this century.

The girls went out when they saw me. But they did throw a look over their shoulder. Not at me though.

I was slowly getting used to Dean sucking in all the attention.

"Someone has fans." I said cheekily and he smiled.

"It doesn't matter because I'm your fan. " He said reaching out and taking my hand in his.

Leaning his support to me.

"Thanks." I said when I reached the sink and he turned on the tap .

I washed my hands while he pulled back my hair from my shoulders so they don't bother me. It had to be one the most beautiful moment in my life.

Looking in the mirror. .seeing him standing behind me.

And that's when I realized.

It didn't matter who was in front of me.

As long as he was standing behind me.
