Chapter 44

So after talking to Mark and Jake about what happened, we went to the school to chat with the principal. We sat in his office while the girls were in a different room. We explained to him what we knew about the situation.

"So, Mr Sycle, what do you think we should do?"

"Send Lauren and Jen to a different school."

"What would that solve? First of all, it's May and there's only about a month left of school. Second, the other girls wont learn a lesson." I stated.

"Well, the other girls didn't do anything wrong. You daughter, Lauren, started the fight." Before I could speak up, Mark did.

"I taught out daughter to protect loved ones. Besides, are we just going to wait until something bad does happen?"

"Well then, Jen should not have made herself easy to attack." This time, Jake spoke up.

"Don't start with me with that victim shaming bullcrap."

"Are you even able to raise your sister?"

"Why would you ask that?" He asked though gritted teeth. I don't blame him for getting angry.

"Well first of all, your hair isn't the most presentable. Besides, wouldn't the parents be better role models?"

"No. Just no. Jen's parents are not good role models, at all. They kicked her out of the home and slapped her because she was gay. Also, why aren't you punishing the other girls?"

"I think it's best if Lauren and Jen went back into the closet." The room fell silent after that statement. The three of us were in shock.

This fucker.

"Why?"

"For their own safety."

"Why punish the victims instead of teaching the kids how to treat people?" He simply stared at us, thinking of an excuse.

"Threats are merely words. Nothing more." My eyes sharpen.

"Sticks and stone may break my bones but words will never hurt me. We all know how much bullcrap that is. Words are mentally scarring. They stick to you. They echo in your head. The more silent you are about them, the louder they will echo. They threatened to have their boyfriends rape Jen to make her straight. How is that ok?" I asked.

"They only threatened. Besides, teens say things all the time."

"People also mean a lot of their threats. We had a teen threaten to hurt us and she did. She nearly killed us and Lauren and Jen." Mark pointed out.

"If you don't punish those girls, I'll make you regret it. Does that scare you?" Jake asked.

"Yes, because you're a delinquent. The girls who made the threat aren't. They're straight A students."

"I am no delinquent. When I was in high school, I had straight A's as well. Even in collage, well except for a few B's but that's besides the point. I never got detention. Listen, grades don't mean anything about who you are. I know people who had good grades and they could be jerks but there were also some cool ones. Same with people with bad grades. You can't judge people based on their grades, age group, sexuality, or anything else like that. You can only judge people by who they actually are."

"Look, we're done here. Either you do the right thing, or the district will be notified." We then left the office, taking Lauren and Jen with us. We later found out that Lauren and Jen are suspended for a day, since they still got in a fight, while the other girls are suspended for a week and are going to be questioned.

I was in the living room, on the couch with Mark and Lauren.

"I've come a long way."

"Huh?" Mark and Lauren asked.

"Well, when I first came here, I didn't have a place to stay. I was in the cold and dark. Then Mark found me and let me stay here. It's a lot warmer and brighter in here. I was able to open up and be myself after a while. I made friends and family as well. When I had struggles, instead of running, I faced them and won. I'm not alone anymore because I have friends and family and the community as well." Mark and Lauren hugged me tightly.

"We'll always be by your a side." I hugged them back before pulling away and standing up.

"I'll be back later. I need to take a little drive to unstress about earlier." Both Mark and Lauren looked sad before smiling.

"We'll be waiting." They said. I then left.
