The Last Wave I Encountered

Chapter 6

That night I was in the living room and someone was knocking on the door. I went and answered it. "Hello?" It was my parents. They were there at the door Hi mom and dad. I signed. Mom just dropped her bags and gave me a hug. "Mai. I'm so sorry." "It's fine mom." I tried to say without to start crying. Dad came and joined in.

They blamed themselves for this ever since I got sick when I was ten. I came down with the flu from a camping trip that half the time was raining. Unfortunately, I got it really bad which in turn end up rupturing my eardrums. The doctor told them that I would most likely go deaf before 16. Sadly, they were right...

They released me from the hug. "I'll go up to the school tomorrow to talk to the principal and ask for a interpreter for you during class," mom said bringing in the bags. I grabbed some out of her hand. "Okay. Friday I have someone coming over." They looked at me and smiled. "Okay sweetie," dad said. He took his and moms' bags to their room. Mom headed into the kitchen and made a glass of pop.

"So who's the person coming over?" she asked as I sat at the bar stool. "He's a guy I met and is dating," I said quietly. My face started to burn from me blushing. I played with a straw wrapper that was on the counter. "So a guy? I bet he's a charmer," she smirked. My mom was a average looking person Brown hair, Hazel eyes and a curvaceous frame. "He is. He actually is a wrestler."

Her eyes suddenly shot up. "He's a wrestler?" I nodded."Yep." Dad walked in and took a seat next to me. "Mai has a boyfriend and he's a wrestler," mom said looking at dad. "Oh really?" he said nudging me. I shook my head. The rest of the night flew by with them telling me what happend on their business trip.

I woke up to my phone going off. It was six in the morning "Hello?" I answered yawning. "Hey, would you like a ride to school? I'm about to leave." Noah asked cheerfully. I sat up rubbing my eyes. "Okay, that would be fine. Why do you want to drive me a hour early?" "Surprize. get dressed and I'll be there in twenty minutes." He hung up.

I took a shower and got dressed. I threw on a pair of denim blue shorts and a Pierce the Veil tank top with a jacket. I lightly applied eyeliner and mascara. I checked my phone it was 6:18. I headed down the stairs and put on my flip flops. Ring! Noah was here.

"Hey," he said when I opened the door. "Hey," I replied shouting the door. We made our way to the car. "So what is the surprise? " I asked. He sat down into the drivers seat."I thought I would get u some breakfast. I know you like dounts," he said as he drove off.

The ride there was pretty quiet. Only music to keep it from being completely silent. I got dount holes and he grabbed a glased. "Thank you," I said kissing him on the cheek. "Your welcome."

We arive at school fithteen minutes later. We walked hand in hand to the school. "I have to go and talk to the office. I'll meet you by your locker," Noah told me the gave me a kiss goodbye.

I went through the cafeteria to go to my locker. Lucky, No one was there. I quickly jotted in my combination and opened my locker. "Well. Look what the cat decided to drag in ," the voice snickered. CRAP! I thought. I turned around to see a group of girls surrounding me.

The one in the middle was a cheerleader from her clothes. The whole group was popular. "So your the girl who took the wrestler? Your such a little slut," she said getting in my face. I just turned around and grabbed out my books. Forcefully I was ripped away from where I was by two girls who the slammed me into the ground. Pain shot through my whole body.

All I could hear was the names they called me whore, slut, hoe. The list went on. A group of them where kicking me. I could only curl up into a ball. I wanted to get up and run but, I knew that would only make it worse. Slowly one by one left.

I refused to move so I couldn't get hurt worse. I could feel blood trickle down my face. Footsteps were coming my way. They got closer and closer. "Mai," was all I could hear from the voice. I knew it was Noah. I opened my eyes to see him rush over and help me up. "Are you Okay?" he asked looking into my eyes. I only could nod yes to keep the tears from flowing witch didn't work.

He pulled me into embrace. I wish could have stayed there in his arms forever. "I'm sorry. I should have came to your locker with you," he muttered. "It's not y-your fault," I muttered.

Everything from there was a blurr. Noah took me to the office where they then took and cleaned me up. I was then shipped into a small room where there was a policeman at a table waiting for me with an interpreter beside him.

"I'm officer Budd. May I ask you some questions? " I looked at him and quietly said yes. I was hurt so badly that the police had to come in. "Do you know who did this?" I shook my head no. "They were all people who I didn't know. T-they knew me though," I whispered. "Do you know how? " "No."

"Can you tell me what happened?" he asked. "I was at m-my locker... and it's where no one it ever at. I opened my locker. Then a group of girls came up and started shoving me..." He shook his head. "Then they called me names while throwing me on the ground kicking me. Slowly the group of maybe 6 girls left. Noah, my boyfriend, came and saw me and here I am..."

"Thank you," he said nodding and left. I walked out to find Noah waiting. He got up and embraced me. "They're needing to know if your parents are home," he said letting go. "They are..."

"I can take you home they're letting me go to clear me,"he said. "Okay," I replied quietly.

It was a quiet ride home. Noah helped me out of the car when we arrived home. "You want to come in?" I asked. "Yea just to make sure your alright."

We walked in and headed to the couch in the living room. "I need to go to the bathroom. I'll be back. Just go ahead and have a seat," I said. He shook his head and gave me a kiss before he went to sit.

I walked into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. My hair was a mess. On my cheek a bruise was starting to form. My lip was cut with dry blood on top. I rinse off my face and clean up the blood. I brushed through my hair. My parents tonight we're going to freak.
I walked back into the living room. Noah was sitting there relaxed. I don't know why but, I felt safe with him. He was browsing through the TV channels. He glanced up and usher me to come where he was at.
I walked over and curled up in his arms. He kissed the top of my head. "You okay?" he asked consernly. "Yea just a little tired. My parent are going to be home by eight tonight." He noddded. "I'm right here. Go ahead and sleep I'll find something on TV," Noah said looking at me and giving me a small half smile. I fell asleep right in his arms. I was in love with him.
