I'm sorry

chp 3

My head was aching.

My eyelid was shut and I tried to open them but only my left one could halfway , through my vision I could see a tall figure looking at me .

" hey ? Are u awake ? " the person spoked.

" I'm awake.. " I replied hoarsely as I coughed out abit of blood again .

That startled the person as they ran to get a piece of tissue for me , they softly dabbed it over my lips which blood was spat on and also attended to my other wounds  too .

I was scared as I saw the person attending my wounds , it was blurry and I couldn't see much but I felt that the person wouldn't harm me so I stayed calm .

shit . is jen's match over ? I have to be there if it hadn't , I have to be quick . but .. how do I tell Jen about what Connor did to me .. she wouldn't believe me or would she ? she's too naive at times too , I don't want her to be hurt by Connor the same way too .

" thank you .. " I suddenly said and tried to sit up straight , they saw and helped me .

" I saw you on the crosswalk laying down and got scared and saw ur face was beaten up so I brought you back to my house , I hope your doing okay .. " the person said .

Soon I could see clearly , i saw a tall women with slightly short bangs with a messy wolf hair cut , they were wearing overalls over a shirt that said - despair and also had cuffed jeans . Beside the table I could see a black cuffed bucket hat they settled it there , they must have worn it before meeting me ; Their eyes was almond brown in colour and they were wearing a lock necklace with eyeliner on , it was a amazing sight too , they were rather pretty too .

" I'm xennete , nice to meet u . " the person greeted me politely . I'm honestly fond of the person so I asked..

" are u from the rental houses here ? are u working ? what's your prono-" then I stopped .

" sorry ! " I quickly added .

that's too rush . I thought to myself .

" haha , it's okay . Yeah I do live around the areas here , I'm not working I'm actucally in school , second year there , I'm 16 and my pronouns are she/they " they replied back to me all in one breath .

I stared at her in admiration at how fast she answered in detail . She gave out a small laugh , " how's your face feeling ? " they looked at me worriedly .

" oh oh it's okay ! " I replied quickly back to her before urgently asking her what time it is .

" it's 11.30 right now .. " she told me as she scrambled to find her phone .

" 11.30 ? I got to go ! " I shouted .

" Wait ! But your injury ! " before I ran out they hold me by my hand and stopped me from my tracks .

" let me bandage it up before you leave , it can cause an infection you know .. " they looked hard at me and I sort of felt a sense of comfy ness at the tone of their voice , it was rather cooling .

But the urgency of me knowing that Jen's match was going to start urged me , I told her that I really had to go , they looked rather disappointed but didn't say anything else .

" here " , they passed me a pack of bandages , " you'll need them " they smiled at me .

"Thanks a lot Xennete ! sorry for troubling you too .. " I replied and took the pack of bandages before hurrying out of the door , slinging my bag that was next to the door making my way out .

" no problem ! " I could hear them shout , before I closed the door and ran back to school .

Motherfucking  Connor , who knew he turned out to be a fucking unstable shit , I knew he wasn't fit for Jen at all and how did he knew .. I got worried at the thought of it . I hope he rots in hell , but I had no time to waste to think about him.

I ran as fast as I could , catching my breath while running to school to catch jen's basketball match . I couldn't miss it ! She would be upset if I wasn't there ..

I also remembered about the bandages .

I'm almost there ! I thought .

I quickly took out two to three plasters and paste it on my nose and my face part which was below my eyes , sticking it to make sure it wouldn't come off . It still sting a little as xennete put some ointment on it .

I'm really grateful they are there to help me , I wished that I could have talked with them more . They seemed like a really understandable person .

shit. ow .

I clenched the plaster wrappings and realised that there was small cluster of cuts on my palm , I quickly tried dismiss the pain I felt and threw away the wrapping near the dustbins outside the school before entering .

I quickly fished out my phone in my bag , 11:55
I huffed and was catching my breath .

just in time ! I thought as I caught my breath and bend down outside of the basketball area opening .

Then I heard someone clearing their throat from behind ..

fuck .

I turned around .

Connor .
