i feel sick

desc: after getting relentlessly bullied by people in your school, you feel too sick to go into school. your parents let you stay home and once dom gets off of school, he immediately comforts you. platonic but affectionate friend!

you woke up with the sickest feeling in your stomach. today was friday and you really didn't want to go to school. 5 people in your year couldn't leave you alone, just giving you shit 24/7, without any consequences.

it seemed the schools' punishment system was based on popularity, the most popular people seemed untouchable, they never got into trouble. no matter how many times your parents called the school, they didn't listen.

your head of year, who you were meant to talk to when anything happened, was completely ignoring anything you said, they were implying it was your own fault that everything had happened and it just felt like no-one was listening.

you thought the sick feeling would pass, so you pulled yourself out of bed and went to get your school uniform. you changed into your uniform and began doing your makeup. as you were doing your makeup, your eyes welled with tears.

the whole idea of school was too intense right now, you couldn't stand the thought of being there, with all the people who hated you, slagging you off. the more peaceful your world could get, the better for you.

you called to your mum, explaining to her while you felt so sick, and she understood. you'd been venting to her about it for the past few days and she agreed that it didn't sound like anyone else was actually listening.

she eventually agreed to let you stay home for the day, and then it'd be the weekend so you could relax. you took off your uniform and went to text your best friend, dom. he'd been so kind, he genuinely understood you.

dom, i'm not gonna come into school today, i literally felt so sick at the idea of going that i've literally been retching, thank god my mum says i can stay home.

Omg that's fine
I love u and I hope u feel better
Thank god she's letting u stay home and not go to skl

i mean there's not much the school can do, if i'm not coming in, they can't come get me themselves

Exactly
I'm so sorry u feel that way

changing out of your school uniform back into your school clothes, you lay down on your bed. you desperately wanted to call dom and talk to him but he was going to be in school and he wasn't going to pick up the phone.

you took the rest of the day easily, not doing much at all, that was what taking the day off school meant, doing sweet fuck all if that was what you wanted and/or needed. as you took it easy, you just browsed through socials and other random things.

by the end of the school day, you got a text from dom.

Can I come over? I know you might need it right now.

please, I want to see you rn

you put a jumper on and cleared some space on the bed, waiting for dom to come over. you heard dom talking to your mum downstairs before coming upstairs. "hey, there's my favourite girl" dom said as he ran up to you.

he wrapped his arms tightly around you and you pulled him onto the bed. "c'mere, get comfortable darling," dom said as he wrapped his arms around you. you allowed him to infantilise you, take care of you.

he wrapped his arms tightly around you, his chin resting on your shoulder. "how were the 5 today?" you asked. you'd gotten used to call them the 5 now, it was an indiscreet nickname. "oh same shit, they can't stop talking about why you're not at school," dom said.

"why are they saying i'm off school?" you asked. "just the general stupid stuff, that you're sick, that you're purposefully bunking, all of it" dom said. "for god's sake" you muttered, rolling your eyes. "but please, don't worry about them" dom said.

"they're such douchebags, they're only scared of you because you're so open, you don't apologize for being yourself, and that terrifies them. they want you to give into them" dom said as you began to feel guilty for staying off.

"but don't feel bad for staying off today" he said, basically reading your thoughts. "that was in your own mind, it was what you needed, sometimes you need to stop exhausting yourself and relax for once," dom said softly.

he lay down down your bed with you, playing with your hair softly as he kissed your body down. "i'm so sorry they treat you like that baby, you don't deserve that at all darling," dom said softly as he ran his hand through your hair.

dom reached over for his phone and began playing music softly. dom's singing soothed you and you relaxed, your eyes fluttering shut as he rubbed your shoulders gently. "please don't let them get to you y/n" dom said.

"promise me?"

a/n: hi hope you liked this, this is defo not inspired by the fact i'm staying off school since 5 girls in my school won't stop slagging me off and straight up bullying me :D
