What Are The Odds? (Kellin Quinn Fanfic)

Chapter Seven

When Mr Quinn walks me into my form room, everybody gasps and stares. Leo instantly runs over to me and helps me out, while Mr Quinn fills my form tutor in on what happened. I sit down at my desk and Leo pulls a chair out in front of me.
"Oh my god Heather what the fuck happened!?!" He asks.
I shudder at the memory "Theo and his minions found me...they beat me up...luckily Mr Quinn came and found me, the boys are with the headmaster right now..." I say quietly.
Everyone around me gasps.
"Oh my god are you OK!?!"
"Why did they hurt you!?!"
"You poor girl!"
Leo sighs "Guys, just leave her alone, she's been through enough today as it is! And we've got PE last so she's gonna suffer even more!"
I groan "PE!?! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
My form tutor speaks up "Don't worry Heather, you can just sit on a bench or something and watch."
I sigh with relief "Oh thank god!"

~ During PE ~

I literally plug in my headphones and listen to Sleeping With Sirens. Usually, if somebody is unable to participate in PE, our teacher will make them help him out, but because of what's happened to me today, my teacher said I can do whatever I want. Every so often I get reassuring smiles from people in my class. When I get bored of sitting still, I stand up and begin walking around the school grounds. I go to my locker and grab my bag and stuff, so I don't have to deal with the rush at the end of the day. Then I walk around the school field listening to Sleeping With Sirens. They can make me feel excited, then instantly calm with just a few meaningful lyrics. They're phenomenal. The fact that their lead singer is my new music teacher is mind blowing. I walk to the centre of the field and sit down. I don't care who sees me, I don't care if I get in trouble. I sit. Silently defying those wishing to force rules upon me. Holy shit that was deep.

~ One Week Later ~

I'm called to the office half way through Art, which I'm quite happy to miss, but I have no idea why I'm being called in. One of my counsellors is probably re-scheculing our meeting or something. When I arrive at the headmasters office there are several teachers in there. Mr Gould, Miss Small (my English teacher), Mr Quinn and of course the headmaster. Miss Small is...crying!?!
"Miss, are you OK?" I ask, concerned.
Mr Gould speaks up "Please Heather, sit down."
I give him a confused look but sit down anyway. "What's this about?"
Mr Quinn comes and kneels in front of me "We just got a phone call...from the hospital..." He shakes his head, stands up and walks to the window, like what he was supposed to say was too hard for him to explain. Too painful.
The headmaster speaks up "Your mother and step father were in an extreme car accident. They were taken to the hospital. I'm so sorry Heather, they didn't make it."
Suddenly a hole is punched through my chest. My heart is pulled out and placed 500ft below ground. My mum and Lee are dead. My whole body starts to shake. My family is dead. Tears fill my eyes. I'm going to have to live with my dad. I cover my mouth with my hand. I'm going to get even more bulied than before. The abuse I received before will increase. I'm not going to ever get a break from them. I can never hug my mum or Lee again. I can never see them again. The hole in my chest swallows me up, and soon enough I realise there is no way for me to fix myself. The wound is too large. I know for a fact my form will be notified of this. As if my life wasn't hard enough. Mum. Lee. No! Please. Let this be some sick joke. No! Please god no! I curl up in the chair in he headmasters office and start crying hysterically. I've lost everything. Nothing matters anymore.
