He Just Protects Me [montgomery de la cruz]

V. faggots

Zach's POV

"Yo Zach, how's your cripple doing?"

"He keeps looking at you Zach, does he need feeding?"

"You know it's not rare for nurses to fall for their patients right?"

"Looking like a couple of faggots, Dempsey"

These were all frequent insults me and Alex would receive from my other group of friends, it didn't bother me much, even when I was good friends with Bryce and the others they were dicks to me. I still sit with them sometimes- they're my teammates so I have to keep some level of friendship there. However when I do choose to sit with Alex and his friends I receive constant torment from the group.

As the insults carry on being thrown I look over at Alex and can see how hurt he was getting. His fists were clenching and he was visibly getting very pissed off- which meant I had to stop everything before he shouted at someone something he'd regret or try to beat up one of the guys and in result end up getting beaten up himself.

I do feel a need to protect Alex, he is very weak- I'd never say it to his face because it would hurt him so much, and I can't imagine hurting Alex in any way. He frequently has melt downs over his situation and try's to take it out on me. I can't imagine how he feels- but I do know one thing. Alex Standall isn't broken, and I'm going to help him realise it.

I stand up and look at my teammates. Bryce, Monty, Scott and a few others start to walk over to our table. I look down at Alex to see him also glaring at the group, fists still clenched. I and everyone else knew that any one of those jocks could beat the shit out of Alex with one finger. Everyone also knew that Alex would do anything to defend himself and his friends against them. So I better calm this down.

"Haha very funny guys- now shut the fuck up." I said quite sternly to the group.

"Awe it's sweet how you protect your little boyfriend dude, did your mom tell you to protect him too then?" One of them said to me

At this point Alex started to stand up, I looked back and watched him struggle to get up. Normally I would help him, but I really don't need any more insults or Alex trying to get involved, he's just going to get himself hurt. And then he'll fall into one of his 'Alex holes' crying to me about how he can't do anything. I really don't need him feeling like that right now.

"Yo Dempsey we're over here."

"Shut the fuck up Montgomery."

Then the two worst possible things that could have happened happened simultaneously. Alex managed to get over to us right as one of the jocks shoved me back. That was apparently enough to set Alex off as he desperately tried getting to the guy that pushed me as I wrapped my arms around him to stop him being able to move. That just lead to more insults. Which lead to Alex trying to free himself more.

We were all so busy arguing we didn't notice that now behind us all Montgomery and Bryce were also arguing,
"You seriously want to do this Monty? Over a bitch"

Alex suddenly stops trying to get away from me, although I do still keep a hold on both his arms, as Bryce throws a punch at Monty- causing him to fall backwards. Monty gets up after a few seconds before storming over to Elle and dragging her out the cafeteria. I don't question it, I'm trying to protect Alex not Elle. If she needs me of course I'll help- but if I leave now Alex is just going to get himself hurt.

AN!!
So do you like the little Zach & Alex sub plot- I rly ship Zalex and want to incorporate them some how so I might add in these little chapters in Zach or Alex's POV.
