Elle POV
Tears blur my vision as I collapse on the floor outside of my locker. Strands of hair stick to my cheeks as the tears flow freely down my face. I can feel my chest start to burn, it rushes straight to my heart and I can almost feel it shatter into a million pieces. I hear their voices echo in the halls, their laughter seemingly increasing as I sit paralyzed. My mind is frantically trying to comprehend what's happening but my lungs don't give it time to catch up. My airway starts feeling stiff and I immediately start to spiral into a panic. The tears fall harder as my body begins to shake. I feel a hand gently pull my hair away from my face, tucking it behind my ears and wiping away my tears. Still paralyzed I can't even look up to meet their gaze. Instead, I stare at their shadow as I feel myself being lifted from the white and blue tiled floors. Still unable to look up, I let them carry me to wherever they are headed, not caring much about anyone or anything right now. Everything goes black.
Nick POV
I step out of the locker room shower getting dressed. Drying my hair with a towel, I say bye to the rest of the guys as I grab my gear and head out into the hallway. I'm close to the entrance when I hear a loud group of people so I turn to face them as they exit the building. I spot something, a small figure curled up into a ball on the floor. It takes a while for my eyes to adjust, then I see her.
