Every kid was scared of Vance hopper. And every girl was obsessed with him, but he had a type and most of them were not his type.

He liked girls with perfect bodies, amazing hair and knew how to dress

I was none of those. I didn't have a perfect body or skin or hair. I liked dressing up but not for the same reasons most girls did.

They did it to ENHANCE their beauty, I did it to GIVE me beauty.

Today I was heading to a family party so I had to dress up. Before we got there I had to go to the grab n go. Vances favourite spot.

I walked in and went to grab a drink from the fridge next to the pinball machine. My sister was next to me, bragging about her hair as per usual.

I went to close the fridge and she jostled past me, causing me to knock into the game. I spun around, my eyes meeting his. Fear over came me. I knew he was angry.

Vance- what the fuck

Y/n- I didn't mean it

Vance- you fucked up my game

Y/n- it was an accident

Vance- bullshit

He pushed me against one of the shelves. I cried out in pain as a jar broke against my back, surely drawing blood

Vance- your a dirty bitch

He reached into his pocket. Pulling his hand out slowly, knife in hand.

Vance- you want to be seen so fucking bad, you want people to love you so bad. I guess we'll just have to show people what you really are

He held up the knife. My breath hitched as I tried to cover my fear

He brought the knife up to my arm carving into it. I screamed out in pain as I could clearly feel the blood dripping from my body

S-L-U-T

Once he finished the carving he let me go, letting me fall into the floor

Sister- shit

My sister grabbed me, pulling me to my feet. She pulled me out of the store and we ran to my aunts house. She bandaged my arm and gave me a jumper to cover it.

The rest of the night, I pretended not to feel the pain. Acting like everything was fine

The doorbell rang. My aunt went to answer it. She was met with the cops

Cops- we need to have a word with y/n y/l/n

Without question I was sent to the station. I was brought into a room on my own.

Cop- could you remove your jumper for us

I slowly took of my jumper. Once he saw the bandage he wrote something down

Y/n- what is this about

Cop- bring him in

He ignored me. The door opened and in came Vance hopper. Shit

Cop- Vance, did you do this to her

Vance- no, I didn't

Cop- don't lie. There was multiple witnesses

Y/n- he didn't do it

I don't know why I was protecting him

Cop- your sure?

Y/n- yes

Cop- then who did?

Y/n- I'm not a rat

Cop- fine. You two can go

I put back on my jumper before leaving the station.

Vance- you got what you deserved

We both went our separate ways. I went home and he went to his. Late at night I heard banging at my window. I opened the curtains and low and behold it was Vance hopper.

I let him in. He climbed into my room. I stood back, bringing my arms up to my chest to cover myself as I felt he could see things I didn't want him to see

Y/n- what do you want

Vance- I'm sorry

Y/n- yeah you are

I sat onto my bed, staying far away from him

Vance- look, I didn't mean it. I was just frustrated

Y/n- I don't care Vance

Vance- come on, can't you just forget it

Y/n- no Vance, if I fucking carved into your arm you wouldn't forgive me

Vance- fair point but still

Y/n- still what!?

He stayed silent

Y/n- yeah. Now get the fuck out before you wake my parents

Vance- how would I wake your parents? Your the one screaming

Y/n- get out

He made me uncomfortable. He made me feel vulnerable, weak, small

Vance- fine, see ya round sugar

I blushed

Y/n- just go

He kissed my cheek before leaving. I wanted to be mad but how can you be mad when he's so sweet at times.

He moved towards the window

Y/n- wait

He paused. I got off the bed before walking over to him. I looked away, rethinking my decision.

Maybe I should just slap him instead but no, I've already come this far

I placed my hands on the sides of his face and kissed him.

I pulled away

Y/n- ... you can go now

Vance- I fucking knew you liked me

He smirked. His ego clearly boosted.

That night I spent all my time thinking about the kiss. Though it was just a kiss, nothing more right?
