Forced

part 23

His lips hang over mine and I feel our breaths mingling together. I want to kiss him so bad,but I shouldn't. My chest moves up and down quickly as I turn my head away from him my bottom lip glides over his. Sending a wave of heat through my body.

I take a step backwards and clear my throat. "I should probably go talk to Molly" I say wiping my sweaty palms on my pants and pointing towards the door. I see his Adam's apple bob as he swallows. I feel my chest tighten at the look of disappointment on his face.

I can't do this i know it will ruin our friendship and I think he knows it too he is just making a rash decision. I don't want us to mess up this friendship and then me lose him. I push past him and walk down the stairs towards the kitchen looking for Molly. She is sitting at the kitchen counter with her elbows on the table.

I see Ryder in the entry way sweeping up all the broken glass. I walk over to the counter and sit down beside Molly.
She looks up at me and her eyes soften. "I-i'm so sorry I didn't tell you an-" I try to apologize but she stops me. "No don't you apologize it's not your fault. I should have noticed and seen the bruises"she said running her hand through her hair.

I have never hugged her, but in this moment I feel the need to. I wrap my arms around her waist and rest my head in the crook of her neck. She is stiff at first but soon wraps her arms around me.

I haven't felt this type of motherly love since before my mother died. My eyes start to sting and I feel my knees getting weak. I try to swallow the sob that is crawling up my throat but it slips past my lips. She runs her hand over my hair smoothing it out.

My tears soaking her shirt as my whole body shakes. "Please don't leave me" the shaky words leave my lips in a wisper. "I'm not going anywhere honey I promise" she pulls my face up holding it with both hands. She wipes away my tears with her thumb and puts a peice of hair behind my ear."do we have any froot loops?" I ask siting down on the barstool.

"Yeah, do you want me to make you some?" I nod my head and walk towards where Ryder is sweeping. I squat down and start picking up the pictures that are salvageable stacking them in my hand.

Ryder and Caleb end up staying for dinner last night. Caleb didn't make anything awkward between us,He just acted like it never happened.

I sit up from my bed with a groan my face is throbbing and I can't see out off my right eye. I walk into my bathroom and splash water on my face.

I look awful.

I take a shower and get ready for school. I skip down the stairs towards the kitchen to tell Molly goodbye. She turns around but when she sees me her smile drops. I know she's looking at my eye swollen shut and my black bottom lip. I pull her into a hug while assuring her I'm ok on my way out the door.

I hop in the front seat throwing my bag into the back seat onto ryders lap. I look around to see them both staring at me. I groan and bring my hands up over my face covering it "do I really look that bad?" I ask. I feel a hand grip my wrist and pull my hands down.

I see Caleb studying my face his eyes stop to stare at mine. He shakes his head biting the inside of his cheek. The car starts moving and Caleb says "can you even see out of that eye?"

"Nope not one bit but at least I'm alive right?" I say while I feel ryders hand slap my shoulder "don't say shit like that" he says. I shrug as we pull into the school parking lot.

I'm at my locker shuffling through paper's as I wait for Caleb and Ryder to get back from the bathroom. I don't know why they went together maybe they hold it for eachother. "So you really got yourself into some shit this time didn't you?" Tyler's voice sounds from behind me referring to my eye and lip.

I turn around to see him standing a little to close for comfort. "What do you want Tyler? Why can't you leave me alone?" I say as I flip through my notebook looking for my missing math homework. "I heard a rumor about you. Is it true that your little boyfriend Caleb is the person behind all your injuries?" He asks with a smirk. My breathing hiches but I decide it's time I stand up to this prick.

"You know I heard a rumor about you to. I say as I shove my book back in my locker. "Is that so?" He ask "yes actually I was told that your dick is so small that when you put it in a girl her immune system tries to fight it off" i say with a smile. He takes two large steps towards me backing me against the cold metal lockers. His chest touching mine I clench my jaw looking up at him. "Get off of me" I say through gritted teeth.

"What makes you think you can talk to me like that?" He growls little drops of spit landing on my face. His face is growing red from anger. "I can talk to you however I want...so don't touch me or I swear to go-" his fingers glide across my stomach. My hands grip his shoulders as I bring my knee up pushing it into his tiny dick. I push him backwards as he groans. "You bitch" he yells while walking towards me.
Before he could get any closer a body separates us.

"Don't fucking go near her?" Ryders voice growls. "The whore deserv-" Tyler is cut off as ryders fist connects with his jaw. Ryder throws him against the lockers hitting him again. This time Tyler gets a punch in making ryders head knock backwards. Blood runs out of his nose and into his mouth.

His fist comes back again ready to his Tyler when he is pulled off. I see Caleb holding Ryder back and I didn't even see him show up. "Hey calm down dude you don't want to get expelled" Caleb says under his breath.

Ryder stands behind Caleb wiping his upper lip with the back of his hand. "Maybe next time you should keep your slut at home" Tyler shouts as he is wiping blood off his chin. I expect Ryder to charge at him again but before he gets the chance I see Calebs fist collide with Tyler's face. They keep exchanging jabs as Ryder trys to pull Caleb off of Tyler.

I just stand there watching the three boys with wide eyes. Wondering where the fuck my math homework went.
