You and Carl were completely different. He has a dysfunctional family, and dysfunctional life. So when you two met at a party, you thought he was cute, he made you laugh. But one thing caught your eye. Something he said, granted he was intoxicated. But there had to be some truth to it.
A guy had came up to you, tried grabbing at you, clearly you were very uninterested. But he didn’t let up. After a few minutes Carl came back from getting drinks for the both of you. Seeing this enraged him. He saw how uncomfortable you had become, so he spared no time. Pushing the guy off you, and a whole drunken fight broke out. People started fighting other people. Carl and this random guy were beating on each other.
Until the cops pulled up. Everyone scattered, of course you stayed with Carl. Sitting down on the curb, wrapped in a blanket. While the cops searched around the area, arresting a few people. You of course vouched for Carl, you weren’t intoxicated. So they took your word for it. Sitting next to him, he was just looking down at the ground, smoking.
Carl slowly turned to you. And took out the cigarette from his lips. " If anybody hurts you, I'm goin' to prison for life." He said, as he slowly turned your hair behind your ear, and out of your face.
