The Trauma

Chap Chap 1- Close Death

Houston, Texas/October 7th, 2020

Third Pov

It was Monday morning, and Jan walked down the hallway to Spanish class instead of sitting in the front office with their mother.

Jan entered the classroom about 5 minutes before the bell, hoping to take a small nap before class started; they walked up to the whiteboard and saw that the class was assigned seats. Jan saw they would sit in the back with their best friend/crush, Megan Pete.

5 minutes passed when the bell rang, and students began to pile into the classroom. Mr. Regal told the class that they had been assigned seats for the rest of the semester; in response, the students groaned at the thought of having to sit with random people and not with their friends.

Megan walked over to the board and smiled, seeing that she would be sitting next to her friend; she skipped her way over to Jan, still smiling, causing Jan to smile right back before hugging Megan. Miguel walked into the classroom, confused as to why so many people were standing before the board; it was when Nicholas (Jan's twin brother) told him that Mr. Regal (The twin's uncle) had given the class assigned seats.

"Oh, just so you know, Miguel, I had separated you from Megan." Mr. Regal informed.

"And why would you do that?" Miguel asked.

"Because y'all tend to get distracted when y'all are together, so you will be seated next to Dula, and Megan will be seated next to Jan." Mr. Regal stated.

Miguel was beyond pissed at the sight of his girlfriend sitting next to the Wanna-Be boy, so much so that he decided to take matters into his hand. Miguel walked up to Jan and started throwing blow after blow. This caused one of Jan's wounds to lose some of its stitching, bringing more harm to them.

"G-g-get o-off m-m." Jan couldn't finish their sentence due to the lack of air they were not receiving. Mr. Regal finally pulled Miguel off after the third try. Megan saw that Jan was starting to bleed from their wound and tried her best to stop the bleeding while one of the students called 911.

"Fuck, FUCK, your mothers are going to kill me for this. Nicholas, go get Mrs. Maraj-Knowles from her office while Stacy calls for help." Mr. Regal commanded.

The Next Day

Megan Pov

The next day, I went to Miguel's house to break things off with him since we wanted to act rudely and foully towards my fren. I was now standing in front of the big ass house that his mama has; I knocked on the door about two times when the door opened, revealing his mother.

"Hello Megan, I assume you are here for Miguel?" She questioned.

"Yes, I am; I wanted to break this arranged marriage off with your son due to his messed-up behavior," I informed.

"I figured, come on in, darling. Miguel is out walking the dogs; he should be back any minute now." She spoke.

Just as she finished her sentence, Miguel walked through the door, surprised to see me in his house without his knowledge.

"Uh, why are you in my house?" Miguel asked.

"Well, Miguel, I came over here to end this forced relationship due to your fucked up behavior and trying to control my life. I don't want you to call or text my number ever again, asshole." I said with anger laced in my voice.

"So you're just going to break up with me for that bitch? She knew how protective I am over you." Miguel semi-yelled.

"Their pronouns are They/Them nigga, and did you forget that you almost killed my FUCKING FRIEND," I stated.

"Miguel, you will write an apology letter to that poor child and their parent. You will also be grounded for 2 years until you can prove your behavior has changed." His mother spoke.

"I'm done having to defend you and your sick behavior; I have done that too many times to the point that I have lost count. This relationship was only made to bring you and my father's company." I spoke.

"You can't be serious, Meg. Do you know how much I love you?" Miguel pleaded.

"Mmh, you take care, Ms. Jackson," I said my goodbyes before walking out of their house and into the family car.

Later, At the Hospital

I walked into Jan's room heartbroken at the sight of them lying in that bed with bruises and cuts all because of Miguel. I walked over to Jan, trying to put a fake smile on my face, but once I sat down, the tears just had to ruin everything.

"I'm so sorry; I'm sorry that I wasn't a good friend to you, Jan." I cried.

"Mmh, you have nothing to be sorry for. Miguel's actions are not your actions." Jan whispered.

"I love you Jan, I love you so much." I blurted out.

"Huh?" They spoke with a confused expression.

"I have always loved you since we were in the 1st grade. I wanted to be with you even when I was with Miguel; I still wanted to be with you, Jan," I confessed.

"Mmmh, well, I can finally say I love you too, Megan." Jan softly spoke.

"When you are doing all better and out of the hospital, will y-you b-be my partner?" I asked nervously.

"Sure, Petey Pie, come cuddle with me, please." Jan pouted.

And with that, I felt like my life was complete with the thought of Jan being my future partner.
