"Nah Next time I’ll just clobber you over the head Save us both the trouble"

I roll my eyes because we both know that would never happen Matt’s one of those guys ill always put themselves on the line for a friend He could pretty much pass for a real-life Disney princeif Disney made bearded, bisexual princes

"Stillit wasn’t cool ofI was just so frustrated, and tired of chanting while they ignored us It made sense at the time"

"Yeah, well You’ve had a lot on yourirrationally because of the breakup, but that’s ridiculous I’m not crazy Matt,for me to snap, to fold in on myself and just lose it because ht Maybe this is some weird emotional shock, and in a feeeks the hurt will hitaround the subject justto do with that"

Sure my life plan has taken a nosedive And it wouldn’t be unreasonable to freak out that the future I’ve been envisioning since Henry and I started dating four years ago has been blasted to bits

But my boyfriend (or lack thereof) can’t be theabout me So screw plans and futures and heartache and all of that For thecrazy things like ignoring a direct order fro to stand up for the homeless population in tohich is about to lose one of only two shelters within twenty noring a direct order I ht have handcuffed myself to a pole outside the shelter

"Then as it about? Why’d you do it?" Matt asks

"Because I couldn’t not do it"

"Yeaaaahthat explanation is going to hold up really well against your father"

"Next tiet the better of me when handcuffs are involved"

The attractive potential criminal shifts, and when I look at him, his eyebrows are raised in interest His eyes really are far too pretty for a guy like hierous Period The end They should not be dangerous and beautiful all at the same time It leaves the universe out of balance, and it uy behind bars If ever there were a kind of guy I should not stare at, so to prison definitely has to rank in the top three

Matt stretches out his long legs and says, "Next tiet arrested ahead of ti to be pissed Unless, of course, you want to call daddy dearest to get us out"

I don’t even have to glare before he’s holding up his hands in surrender

"Why would you want to get arrested?" The dangerous one speaks His voice is low and sht Texas drawl that stretches out his words and draws o bright red

I alare and cleararrested can sometimes be the most powerful way to draw attention to a cause"
