Hello, Goodbye

part 7

The 3 day suspension was ridiculously boring. And stressful. Jack came over on the 2nd day. He kept trying to start stuff again but thankfully I managed to use the excuse my dad is making us keep the door open as a reason not to. He kept swapping from weirdly kind to toxic and it was scary. The slightest thing and he'd get mad. Acting like I was his property.

About a week had passed since I got off suspension and most things were going smoothly apart from jack occasionally getting mad at me but as long as Sam was with me I knew I was safe.

I was sat at the table with Morgan, Ava and Hannah all of us just laughing and having fun. Ava leant over and lowered her voice, "I really want to ask Sam out can you try and work out if he likes me tonight because I don't want to get rejected!" She begged making me laugh as I agreed.
"So how are you and Jack doing?" Hannah teased making me laugh. Surprisingly most of it was okay.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. "Its alright.." I looked round my shoulder to make sure he wasn't near, "I dont really feel anything though.." I whispered to them, "nothing wrong with a summer fling!" Ava giggled.

Soon enough the end of lunch came and Jack walked over with Sam following, "I want to walk you to your class." He mumbled. I looked down and saw he had clenched his fist. When Sam arived I saw him look Jack up and down, "I'll walk her. I'm her guide so... you can just go to your lesson.." Sam said while glaring at Jack. I could see Jack getting angrier and I really didn't want to or he'll take it out on me.

"Sam it's fine, I'll meet you there okay?" I shot him a look to tell him to stop and thankfully he took the hint and shutup.

*Sam's pov*

I watched as Jack practically dragged Maddie by her wrist and as she tried to get free knowing there was nothing I can do. This just keeps happening. He gets angry, she gets scared, he takes over in power. Whenever I know Jack is round her house I'm always sat by the window watching which I know is creepy but I want to make sure she doesn't get hurt.

I have to do something. And I know there is a way. If I somehow tell her dad without her knowing it's me she can leave Jack and report him to the police while it won't affect our friendship.

I'll put a letter in their mailbox. I'll type it up so she doesn't recognise my handwriting.

At about 9pm when it was dark I put the letter in the mailbox. Now all I have to do is pray that her dad is the one to read it first.

*Maddisons pov*

This morning everything felt off... my dad was just being... strange I guess..

Then when I got to school Jack kept groping me. Its currently lunch and I'm sitting with Morgan, Ava and hannah in an attempt to get away from him.

That was untill he came over and sat down next to me. "Why aren't you sitting with us baby? You avoiding me?" He glared at me signaling that I had to go sit with him. "Uh girls I'm going to go sit with Jack... sorry.."

As we walked over I felt him squeeze my ass and froze, "Stop it!" I snapped but instantly regretted it. I saw the anger in his eyes. He looked like he was ready to kill. Suddenly I felt a strong sting across my face. He hit me. He actually hit me. What the hell.

I looked round and everyone was staring at me, Samuel had gotten out of his seat and was walking towards us. He threw a punch at Jack, knocking him to the floor. I began screaming at then to stop as Jack punched back. I didn't want Samuel to get hurt! Especially not because of me.

Samuel was not ontop of him and was throwing punches, teachers had ran in and was pulling Samuel off as he tried to break free. At this point Jack was unconscious. I knelt down and placed his head in my lap, I stroked through his hair, waiting untill a teacher would help him. I know he's done bad things but because I made him mad he got hurt! I'm a horrible girlfriend! I'm fat! I'm rude! I don't let him do anything! I'm the worst girlfriend to exist.

After last lesson I went home feeling awful. They got into a fight because of me. As I reached the house I saw my dad waiting for me holding out a piece of paper.
"Buttercup.. you can talk to me.. I found this in the mailbox this morning.." he spoke in a sympathetic tone making me panic. I took the note and immediately panic sunk through my body.

Did Jack do this?! But he couldn't of if it was this morning. I didn't do anything wrong yesterday..
I ripped up the paper and stormed up to my room hoping my dad would leave me alone. However, he didn't.

"Its okay.. I can get you help, now I know. professional help. I've made a doctors appointment tommorow morning. There going to give us a meal plan. So you will slowly build up to eating normally again. It's to help you." My dad sat down on my bed and put his arm round me. I didn't cry though. I was angry. I want to know who done this. Who is out to ruin my life.

I bet its Megan. She knew if she told my dad then he'd make me eat and I'd get fatter!

"If I eat then mum's going to come back and take me to Washington.." I mumbled. I didn't want to go back. I'm even more miserable there.

My dad looked at me confused. "What do you mean?" He stared at me waiting for an answer. I didn't want to have to explain. But I did, "she said I'm fat and I need to loose weight. She put me on loads of diet but none of then worked apart from this one. When we called last week she said that she'll take me back if I eat." I looked down at the floor. I felt my chin being lifted up.

"Then I'll fight. In court. To make sure I can get full custody and that she suffers for what she's done to my little girl... also.. the school called.. Jack hit you?" He asked. Fuck. Great. I finnaly felt the tears form in my eyes.
"Can we talk about all of this later!" I practically begged. He couldn't see me like this..
