TW:bullying, swearing (hell)

Karl POV

After we went to the office we got our little yellow slips I didn't realize I had been holding his hand. His hand was warm I let go as we went our separate ways. I took my time getting to class considering I could walk freely without getting beat up or so I though I could.

It seemed as soon as I was out of Nicks view they came out of nowhere. They pulled me into a small room pushed me to the ground punched kicked and did basically the worst things you can do to harm someone ever. I didn't scream though I didn't cry just gasped in pain.

After they walked away laughing my nose was bleeding my arm hurt more than it did before and I could barely walk.

I headed back down to the nurses office where I had just come from she hands me a pen and paper when I get there to explain what hurts and what happened.

On the paper I also ask if I Nick can come back but I cross it out quickly before any one besides me can read it. She fixes me up and walks me to class herself to make sure I don't get hurt more than I already am.

I nod and smile at her as a way of saying thank you she understands what I mean. She leaves me with my teacher and gives my teacher a note to read as well. My teacher reads it and looks back at me he asks me if I'm ok I shrug my shoulders. I don't want to be a burden by saying no I'm not fine but I also don't want to lie and say that I am fine.

That was my last class before lunch I write a note asking my teacher if I can eat in the classroom. He says yes so I pull out my lunch box I have a ham sandwich carrots and a small chocolate for lunch today.

I eat my lunch while scrolling through twitter.

I see Nick walk down the hall looking for something I don't know what he's looking for but he's looking hard for whatever it is. After lunch I go to my last three classes with no issue.

At the end of the day I walk out of the school and find Nick standing and talking with his friends. He looks me up and down looking concerned he starts saying "Karl what the hell happened?!".

I hand him a note that I had written before hand the first thing it says is "DO NOT READ TO ANYONE OR LET ANYONE ELSE READ THIS! I know it looks bad and it is but I can explain. I turned the corner and after I was out of your sight and any sight of teachers Sam (A/N I chose a random name) pulled me into a small room and beat me up. I went back to the nurses office and she fixed me up I'm doing better now." He looks at me and nods.

He asks me to walk home with him and his friends I nod and smile to say yes thank you. Then out of nowhere after his friends aren't around Nick says to me "Hey Karl can I have your phone number?" I nod and write it down and he gives me his.

I get home and luckily I'm the only one there so that I don't have to explain I don't know how I'm going to hide my half broken arm or my black eye or all the cuts on my face. When I get home and realize there's no way I'm hiding these cuts and things from my parents I text Nick.

——— text messages ———

Me:
Hey Nick can I come over? Im not sure how I'm going to hide my cuts and bruises from my parents. And I figured you are a football player you must hide things like that all the time.

Nick🧡:
Yeah sure come over I'll text you the address and yeah you're right I do hide things.

Me:
Great thank you see you soon! Oh and remind me I have something I want to tell you

Nick🧡:
Here's the address *************** see you soon and I have something to tell yo as well.

———end of texts———

I drive over to Nicks house and leave a note on the fridge telling my family where I am. I get to Nicks house and knock on the door. He answers and says "hey Karl come on in." Then he introduced me to his mom and I smile and wave. She looks confused so Nick explains. We go upstairs to Nicks room.

He gets a bunch of things out of a drawer and starts helping me cover my bruises.

Then he says "can I tell you something about me that only two other people know?"

I nod and grab out a piece of paper I write "two things one it's not like I'm going to tell anyone and two I want to tell you something nobody knows too."

He looks me in the eyes and says "Karl I'm Bi." Ne sighs and looks at the ground I tap his shoulder so he looks at me I show him the writing on my paper. I write the exact two words he just said "I'm Bi" he reads them smiles and asks for permission to hug me. I nod and we hug.

Shockingly that wasn't the hard part. The hard part came next.

End of chapter I hope it was good a little short the final word count was 948
