Chapter 118

November 4th

Emerald's POV

"Hello, Baby boy" I smile wrapping my arm around Asher. "Hi" he smiles picking his bag up. "Did class go okay?" I ask as we start our walk down the crowded halls. "Yeah, I feel bad though- another guy was flirting with me and Simon was trying to get me out of the situation and he slammed his head on one of the decorations hanging from the ceiling" he sighs as I bite my lip holding back my laugh.

"I think it was metal Em" he whines puffing out his lip. A few minutes later Simon clumsily walks out with Devon who was cackling at his dizzy friend. I continue our walk snickering as he explained what happened.

"Mimi called my parents though" he sighs and I stop staring at him. He hugs his bag closely chewing on his lip. "Why did she call your parents?" I pry getting another heavy sigh.

"He just got really handsy and I reacted badly because it scared me... because of the many times... yeah" he trails off as I bite my tongue. "What did he do!" I whisper-shout pulling him aside so we're out of the way.

"He was just rubbing my shoulder and arm, but it freaked me out and I started hyperventilating" he answers meekly sniffling. "Where is he" I growl but he quickly grabs my hand. "It's fine he was being friendly, but I have to go back to Mimi's and wait for them- I just wanted to go on a little walk" he smiles taking a deep breath.

"Oh- okay" I reply taking his hand and with that, I brought him back to Mimi's class, the halls less crowded than before. "I'm going to stand out here and wait for them, I don't want anybody else going in," I tell him opening the door.

He nods giving me thanks. With that, I stood outside of the door waiting and let me tell you I didn't wait long. His parents came walking down the hall their faces cold and stern they looked absolutely pissed. It scared me, even more, to see me pissed off my brother right behind them. His face was cold as well but there was pure anger.

Their walk was nice though, like in sync and everything. "Uh, he's in here" I mumble my confidence gone in front of the three tall scary people. I opened the door for them and they walked right in. I found Ash sitting bored in a chair while Mimi looked at us with a soft face.

Uncle Freddie walked over to Asher quickly checking his body. You could tell it hurt having this be a constant thing. "Where's the boy who laid a hand on my son" uncle George scowls slamming his hand on a desk.

"He's with Severus getting a stern lecture, his parents will be here soon. Only then will you be able to talk to him... I don't need more fights in this school" she scoffs putting some papers away. "I need to see Gramps" My brother chuckles turning for the door.

"Grandson of mine you're not going anywhere" she stops him and he slumps his shoulders, clenching and unclenching his fist. "Guys you don't need to be here, nothing happened you're all overreacting" Asher sighs rubbing his temple.

"Emerald time for you to get to class" Mimi gives me a knowing look. "Right sorry, love you" I cheer getting a quick "love you too" from her.

Atlas's POV

I watched my panicked sister leave and immediately turn back to Ash. "Bubba, I am sick of people doing this to you!" My uncle sighs as Ash looks at him with big eyes. "He didn't do anything, he was talking to me, and I got scared because of past experiences or I don't know" he tries to explain.

"Well something obviously happened or we wouldn't be here" George jumps in ready to say something else. He gets interrupted by a clap and we all looked at Mimi.

"The only reason I brought you here was to help your son he was having trouble breathing and needed to be calmed, the boy seems to have not bothered Asher so let's not stress him out more, I don't need to be expelling more students" she sighs sitting herself down.

"You're taking the boy's side!" "What the hell!" The both of them yell as I stare at her with a look of confusion. "I knew you shouldn't have called them" Asher grumbles getting stern looks from his parents.

"You didn't want to call us!?" "Are you serious Bubba" "what happen to no more lying" they begin to shout as he stares at them with big eyes? "I- I wasn't lying... I just knew you guys would get mad for no reason. He didn't do anything he was talking to me, you guys overreacted... let me finish my day at school- I'll see you at home" my boyfriend hops off the desk putting his bag over his shoulders.

I just kind of stared at him shocked and he quickly walked for the doors getting stopped by Georges's hands. "Bubba we just want to help" he coos Asher's face softening. "All your doing is yelling at me... if any other person was touched on the shoulder! Most people wouldn't care, I didn't even mind. If those past things wouldn't have happened, I wouldn't have reacted the way I did!" He was definitely fighting back tears trying to be braver than he really was.

I ran a hand through my hair hating everything about this. I was able to make him so happy last week and here we are again upsetting him. "Bubba we're sorry" "we didn't mean to make you so upset" "you're all we have and we hate knowing that you go through this" they both start rambling on.

"I don't want to be like this... I didn't ask to be like this... I didn't ask to be born!" he continues shaking his dad's hand off of him. "I'm late for class, I'll see you at home... I'm sorry" he apologizes before quickly opening and leaving through the door.

"He's not going to class" I sigh going for the door. "We're actually the worst parents in the world" Fred groans into his hands as George frustrated, rubs his eyes. "We don't ever make him happy" he adds and I turn back giving them a sympathetic look. "Ash is just sensitive" I remind them stopping as Mimi clears her throat. "Let me take you to Severus' room so you can talk to the boy's parents" her voice was still loud and informative.

I quickly left the room and looked both ways finding the empty halls. Where would Ash go? Where would he go... wait. I ran down the halls till I made it to the bathroom, smiling when I found him sitting on one of the ledges just staring at the panels.

"Angel" I whisper and he looks up to me with sad eyes. "I didn't mean to get so upset" he whispers. I walk over to him and sit down. "No, I'm sorry we stressed you out so much" I reply kissing his cheek.

"I don't want to be like this" he mumbles leaning his head onto my shoulder. "I love you, I love my parents, but this isn't normal- yet for me, it's like a normalized thing" he rants as I wrap my arm around his shoulders.

"I know you were trying not to cry in there, but baby- you... you're a sensitive person, it's okay to cry" I tell him getting a nod in response. "I know I keep saying this, but I don't want to be like this" he begins to cry on my shoulder.

"I want everything to be okay" Asher repeats this over and over again clutching my arm. "I don't know what to do, but I want to help you- tell me what to do" I plead with him.

"I don't know" he answers truthfully and I rest my head on his. "If it makes you feel better I'll go get your parents and we'll go home, we can pretend we weren't even here" I chuckle getting gleaming eyes from him.

"Please, I promise I won't ask for anything else... I just want today to be normal" he mumbles and I nod my own grip on him tighter than before. "Ask for whatever you want I'll do my best to give you what you need" I chuckle drumming my fingers on his arms.

I ended up fighting back my own tears. I hated being this emotional. I just wanted him to be happy. We were so happy last week. We had all that fun. I did everything I could, but then I showed up thinking I was protecting him just to ruin his day and upset him.

"Atlas? Are you okay" his lip quivers at the thought of upsetting me. "I just want you to be happy" I choke out pulling him into a tight hug.

"I am happy... please don't cry"

"I-I I'm not crying"
