TRAPPED (sketchxreader)

Elijah-

Truth be told, I barely remember what happened yesterday but I do remember telling y/n about the bracelet. In that moment, I trusted her and just wanted to feel the weight get lifted off my chest which it did. I even want to tell the guys about the bracelet today and show them along with y/n some proof, I hope it goes well.

I feel confident today and I do want to tell them the secret that's been eating me alive so that we can at least share the pain and confusion as friends but there's still a part of my brain that's telling me the guys will think I am psychotic.

Anyway, I try my best to push that thought out of my system and get ready for school. Today is a big day.

(time skip, they are the lunch table)

I invite y/n over to have lunch with us and she is very clearly still hungover, I can tell by her grumpy behavior. I sigh and let my friends converse, I am still not prepared to tell them the truth, it's fucking huge!!

"Where the hell did you even go?" Denis asks Sub. Me, y/n, Denis and Alex found each other yesterday at the forest but we never found Sub.

"My mom called, I went home." He sounds so unfazed.

"and by the way, you're terrible at being a seeker Denis." Sub says and we all nod in agreement while chuckling. Denis rolls his eyes.

The jocks come and sit on the table adjacent to us with their lunches, the time has come. I share a look with y/n and her eyes tell me that she remembers last night and our conversation too. I smile and squeeze her hands.

"Guys! I have something important to tell you, I can hurt people if I feel negatively about them. This bracelet gives me superpowers, Just watch the jock table!!" I grab their attention and tell them the truth. 

Before they can say anything, I close my eyes and feel out everything, I remember all the torcher the jocks have put me through and today a certain someone comes to mind, James. The amount of times he has beaten me up for no fucking reason, he always tackled me during football, I even broke my arm one time because of that and all the fucking assignments I've done for that dumbass!

I open my eyes to the flabbergasted look on my friend's faces. I gaze over to the jock table and there it is, James is holding his nose as it bleeds intensely. He complains of a headache and faints onto the ground, his friends rush him to the nurse.

"Oh my fucking god!" y/n comes alive from her hangover which had practically made her feel dead.

The guys look like they are in awe too but unfortunately we don't get to talk about it because the bell rings, we decide to meet at the forest after school.

I go through my classes as usual but I do think the jocks are catching onto me. It's chemistry right now and Jack shares it with me, he has been staring at me for a whole minute now. I am too scared to look back at him.

"Hey, dipshit." I feel a hand on my shoulder, it's Jack.

"What-t?" I stutter.

"Stop messing with my friends or else I'll fuck you up." He warns me and I nod in response. I don't know how I feel about this, I don't want to hurt people but I want to defend myself from bad people like Jack too. This is why I need my friends and y/n to help me.

(after school)

"That was the coolest shit I've ever seen, you're a fucking hero, lije!" Denis exclaims as Alex and Sub inspect every inch of my bracelet. I smile and look at the ground, I feel overwhelmed but happy around these guys.

"so three of them are glowing red, why only three?"" y/n questions.

"I've hurt three of the jocks so far." I reply. They all nod in agreement.

"What happens when they all turn red?" Denis asks. We all share a look and no one has any theories.

"What if the world ends when the 7th ring turns red?" Denis speaks.

Sub rolls his eyes, "that's dramatic and cliche."

"The 7th ring is never going to turn red. I wont let it." I speak over them.

"What! Why?" Denis sounds devastated.

"There are 7 jocks and I think each ring represents them. I will have to go through all of them and hurt all of them, even Ethan if I want the 7th ring to turn red and I am not going to hurt my brother." I fold my arms.

"But-t you told me how he betrayed you in middle school. You should get revenge, he deserves it Elijah." Denis states.

I look at sub with an annoyed look on my face, "I'm with Denis on this one, Ethan has been a Dick to you and this is your one opportunity to get back at him."

I turn over to Alex,"Sorry mate, I'm with them too."

I look at y/n, "What should I do?" I ask her.

"Do whatever you want." She shrugs. She is the only one not peer pressuring me, I love her.

"Elijah, hurt every single fucking jock. Think of everytime they've bothered you and us!! Get revenge for us! We need you, be our hero!!" Denis puts his hand on my shoulder.

A hero, thats what I would become to my friends if I defeat the jocks. People would respect me, that has never happened before so maybe I should let it happen.

'Hero' that word holds too much power and Denis using it in regards to me feels nice, just imagine if everyone did it. Id be happy for once, I wanna be happy for once!!!

"Okay." I agree and everyone pulls me in for a group hug.
