Reid's POV

I never liked to hurt her. Never, she was so beautiful. So so beautiful and it hurt to make fun of her. So much.

I had to hurt her. I had to because I knew that I could never let anyone in. Anyone.

Most people don't understand why. Well I'm not going to tell you except that my parents have something real big to do with it. Then Baylor. I had said her name for years in my house, made up songs about her name. Ever since I saw her when we got to high school I knew she was different and I thought at first that her Ums were just a bad habit but when I learned that it was an impediment i tried to act more kind. But the truth was I was growing too close to her, I needed to shut her put. So I hurt her. It was the only way to keep her from ever wanting me, so I couldn't have her.

I didn't deserve her.

When she slapped me and elbowed me I was very surprised. And could she ever dance. I can't believe that I didn't know how even more amazing that she was. When I walked home I ran to my house where my aunt and uncle had took me in. I was an orphan. Enough said.

So I went inside of there big house and I ran to find my brother, he was seven and I absolutely loved him even though he wasn't my actual brother, he was my aunt and uncles but still he was my brother. Scooping Stefan up and throwing him over my shoulder I ran around and tickled him while he was laughing so hard he almost sett himself. I laughed at this which he took advantage of.

He tickled me in my stomach where Baylor had elbowed me. My face scrunched up in pain and Stefan looked at me funnily. "Who hurt you?" He asked innocently.

I chuckled lightly, "I tried to hug a girl from behind and she elbowed me then slapped me."

He looked at me in awe, "Are you sure she was a girl cause she has balls."

I burst out laughing at this while Stefan still had this innocent look to his face. When I sobered up I took his shoulders and stared at him dead in the eyes, "If you want a girl when your older you don't hurt her, you protect her and fight for her. Don't be a coward and run away. Face her."

I knew that it wasn't fair what I did to Baylor but I would make damn sure that I would pay her back, and I was going to fight for her this time.

And I was not going to go down without kicking and screaming.
