Warning!
A few more weeks had passed and everything had been relatively normal. Emily and Chris were absolutely head over heels for each other. Wes and Amber were still together but not really together and so were Leah and Olly at this point. Tommy seemed to love being the 7th wheel in their little friendship group.
"Meet me in the music room tonight." Olly whispered in Leah's ear.
"What?" Leah laughed "Why?"
"Well I guess you'll have to find out." He winked.
"Intriguing." Leah smiled and kissed him.
~~~~
Leah had a strange feeling that someone had been following her all day. She shook it off, thinking that it was probably nothing.
Leah sat down next to Tommy in her lesson and smiled at him weakly.
"Are you alright?" He asked, concerned.
"Yeah, Fine."
"What is it? Is it Olly?"
"What? No!"
"Then What is it?" He demanded.
"It's honestly nothing! I just feel like I'm being followed, and I know I'm not. But still.."
"What!?"
"Oh Tommy it's nothing, just leave it."
He stared at her for a moment longer before deciding to let it go. "Fine."
She smiled at him and continued on with her work. Why couldn't she shake this feeling that something bad was going to happen.
As she sat through the lesson she couldn't help but feel... uncomfortable... every time Professor Chirp looked at her.
His eyes lingered on her a little more than usual.
He looked at her. Not just at her eyes, but he looked at her body.
"Do you need help with your work miss Kingsleigh?" He whispered in her ear. She could feel his breath on her skin.
Leah flinched away from him "no. I'm good... thanks..."
~~~~~
Later, at around 10 o'clock, when all the teachers were in bed, Leah made her way to the music rooms to find Olly.
As she walked the through the dark corridor she heard a small noise.
"Olly?" She whispered.
But there was no answer.
So she kept walking.
Footsteps.
She definitely heard footsteps that time.
"Who's there?" She whispered into the darkness.
She turned around but she couldn't see a thing.
When she turned back to keep walking she suddenly felt someone grabbing her from behind.
They pinned her arms behind her back with one hand and used the other to cover her mouth.
She screamed, but it was muffled by the persons hand.
Whoever they were, they were big and strong. Bigger than anyone in her year. In fact they were bigger than any of the students.
She felt herself being slammed against the wall with immense force. The mans body pressed right against hers.
Tears began falling from her eyes.
The man slammed her against the wall again, causing her to whack her head hard against it.
She cried out but she knew no one could hear her.
She felt her head bang hard against the wall several times until she felt dizzy.
She couldn't tell what was happening until she suddenly felt cold.
The person had moved away.
She fell to the ground, holding on to the wall.
Her vision was blurred, all she could see was a figure, standing over the black haired man who'd been assaulting her and punching him over and over and over.
Then everything stopped.
~~~~~
"Leah? Leah!?" Olly was standing over her.
She looked around and saw that they were still in the corridor. It was still dark. Her head still hurt.
"What happened?" She mumbled.
"You didn't come to the music room I starting walking back to the dorms. Then I found you like this. What happened to you!?" Olly said frantically, he was cradling her head.
"What-What time is it?" Leah sat up slowly.
"Its a bit past 11."
Leah realised that she'd been passed out for almost an hour.
"What happened!?" Olly demanded.
Leah immediately began crying as she tried to explain "I don't know. I was just walking and then.. someone attacked me... I... He..."
"It's okay. Just breathe, calm down. I'm here. I've got you." He hugged her tightly.
Leah suddenly remembered that before she passed out she saw someone attacking her attacker.
"I remember... did you stop them? Did you get him off me?" She asked him.
Olly was silent for a moment "did you see me?" He asked.
"N-no... I don't know... I don't know who I saw"
Olly sighed, seemingly relieved "it wasn't me." He finally said.
He pulled her up and helped her back to her dorm. He took her to the bathroom and washed the blood off of her head. The cut was small, but noticeable. Big enough to have knocked her out.
Her kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly. "I promise I won't let anything like this happen to you again."
She nodded and hurried her head into his chest.
She got ready for bed careful not to wake Amber or Emily.
"Goodnight... Leah." Olly kissed her and left the room to go back to his own dorm.
Leah fell to sleep straight away, exhausted and head still banging.
