[George'sPOV ]

I darted out of class and outside, near the school gate, God I made a fool out of myself. I hoped Freya wasn't thinking any weirder but deep down, she probably was.

I watched Freya toddle over, she seemed to have forgotten what had happened. I couldn't help but feel stupid, I need something- SOMEONE to clear my mind.

Ethan

He was my only bet, I quickly pulled my phone out of my pocket and looked at the time, just perfect! Ethan was bound to come out in a few seconds, his break mark just about landed on mine. I swiped up to mine and Ethan's DMs.

George: ethan wait by the gate or the patch of grass by the front. bring ur friends if u want lol cya

And in just a second, my phone vibrated, Ethan had replied.

Ethan: k, cya there

That was easy, I thought, smiling to myself. I then turned to Freya, who was peaking over my shoulder. I crunched my face, she saw my conversation with Ethan, I mean, her eyes were sparkling with joy, her body melting.

"Ahh, Ethan's coming overr! I've got a chance after all!" She turned to me and placed her hands firm on my shoulder, "Thank you so much, George! You've helped so much, your an amazing friend-". She was cut off and her eyes widened, she wasn't looking at me anymore but...

behind me.

I tilted my head to the side, confused, unsure. Freya then, unexpectedly, backed away, crossing her arms. But now, she seemed- pissed off?

"Come on Ace! Stop sneaking up on us you weirdo, same with you Cameron, your both freaks." She said pouting, clearly annoyed and unimpressed. But then, the sudden mention of the name Ace, I crunched my face, once again, I sighed before spinning around to come face to face with the greenish-blue orbs, pools of oceans captive in Ace's eyes.

"What do you want? Look I'm not in the mood to deal with you-" And suddenly, my thoughts cut my voice.

Ace wasn't in.

A shocked expression plastered my face and it was clear Ace could see it. "What?" He said, blunt and bored, unimpressed with the familiar expression. I scratched the back of my neck awkwardly, "I thought you weren't in?" The next thing I know, my body collapsed to the floor, I look up, a dark figure towered over me. The asshole pushed me.

"Really dipshit? Are you a stalker or something?" Ace said, smirking at my anger. "You hang out with Ethan, I didn't see you all day," I said bluntly. Ace rolled his eyes, "Oh of course you'd know that!" I sighed, ye no shit.

I weakly attempted to lift myself up and luckily succeeded. I brushed off my clothes and fixed my hair, it was pointless though, it's always a mess. I sighed, not impressed with the constant annoyance. Freya awkwardly watched, I don't know what I'd do if I was her.

"I was late" Ace murmured behind me. I turned my head, he was late. "What?", I whispered, needing to hear that again.

"IDIOT I WAS LATE" He yelled. I blinked, tilting my head a little, letting the words go through one ear to another.

"Wow that's so unlike you Ace-" I was cut off instantly when I was pinned very roughly to the gate. It was Ace.

"W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING Y-YOU WEIRDO?" I yelled, very nervous but desperate for an answer. I looked up, his eyes were glaring at mine, but I could see something in them. Was it- amusement? I could hear something behind Ace, it was Cameron, he was giggling.

"Hey Ace, I'm guna leave you to deal with that loser, I'm out." He murmured, his soft accent tangling his words as he spoke. I quite liked his voice, his accent made his voice cuter and the fact he had a soft voice just made things two times better.

"So" Ace started, "how is it unlike me?" He said. I grunted, what the hell. "Well for a starters Ace, get off me, I don't want anyone seeing us." His smile faded and his nails clawed, dug into my wrists, it started to hurt a little. I winced at the pain. "Ace stop, get off me" I whispered, averting my eyes away from Ace's.

"Not until you answer me dipshit" He whispered back, digging his nails deeper into the flesh of my wrists. The pain was increasing, I flinched, and now, I was silently hoping someone would come to get this weirdo off of me. And then, the sudden realization hit me, Freya had walked away with Cameron. Well, at least I can go back to her and have her agree with me over the fact that Ace is the worst.

It stayed silent for a minute, Ace seemed to have gotten more and more frustrated by the second. And suddenly, he dug his claws deeper into my wrists, I flinched at the pain but now...

I was bleeding.

My eyes very slowly started to fill up with the oceans Ace kept in his eyes, which were now getting darker. The pretty colour of his eyes started to dull, darken. My cheeks started to rush with blood, the rosy blush very apparent, and my nose started to tint pink too. My eyes sparkled with the reflecting tears that slowly trickled down my cheek.

At this point, I relaxed into Ace's hold, there was no way I was going to escape his cage, I was bleeding for crying out loud. Did I expect to escape? I was always quite aware that I was weak if I didn't have an advantage and with this, I was practically situated against a tiger, his claws said a lot too. I silently cried in Ace's hold, letting the blood of my wrists cover his fingertips.

"Get off him, Ace"

I instantly recognized that voice, but for some reason, I put my hands on Ace's shoulder, I needed to support my quite painful body. I mean, earlier Ace had pushed me, and it wasn't a little nudge, it was a proper push. So my body was still recovering from the agony.

Ace, on the other hand, flinched at the voice, his dark eyes wide awake after his crazed actions. He let loose of my wrists and backed away, turning to Ethan and his friends. He didn't say anything though, he stayed silent. I, on the other hand, covered my face with my wrists, shielding it as my tears ran down my face.

Ethan stepped towards Ace, sending the awkward atmosphere way off the roof. "What did you do to him, you weirdo?" He said, unimpressed with Ace's very blunt expression. "Nothing much to be honest" He replied, his hands by the side of his face as he shrugged his shoulders.

Ethan slapped the back of his head and he walked towards me, I was still crying. He grabbed my wrists, ready to move them away so he could see my face, only to see the blood rush down from my wrists to my elbow, where it dripped onto Ethan's uniform.

[Ethan's POV]

George was bleeding. And it wasn't just a little bit of blood, it was a literal sea of blood- an ocean. I instantly felt that little bit of guilt settles in my stomach...

I failed to protect him.

I failed to protect my little brother. He was crying, in pain. And it was at this very moment, I snapped. I grabbed George's hand and pulled him with me, I completely discarded my friends and headed towards the school building, I needed to help George.
