The Freak and The Angel

Chapter 4 : Whatever Happens

(TW drugs/self harm)

A few days passed since the incident. Becky just picked the two up for school. Angel is nervous, rightfully so. She pulls into her usual parking spot, and the three of them get out of the car. Angel can already feel the eyes burning into her.

They walked into the building only to find posters of Angel's school photo posted all over the walls with crude pictures of dicks drawn all over them, the words "cum dumpster" written on each.

Eddie looks at them and starts ripping them off the walls. Angel can feel her face turn red and hot. She  look at takes one look at  Eddie and runs away to class. She didn't tell him the horrible things Chad did to her, she never wanted him to find out. Now he knows. Now Eddie has the thought in his head of what actually happened to her. She never ever wanted him to know.

Eddie's heart felt like it shattered when he saw the look on Angel's face. How could anyone do that to someone as sweet and as special as her? As his Angel?

"Holy shit dude. We really gotta get these taken down." Becky spoke as she stared ripping the posters down, he helped her get rid of them. She really is a good friend, despite buying drugs and getting fucked by a fifteen year old. He doesn't think he'll  be fucking anyone anymore for a while after this shit. Especially now that he's realizing there's only one girl for him, and right now she's broken and needs support, not sex.

"Thanks Becky. I think that's all of them." He said as he crumbled the last of the posters.

"Mr. Munson, Miss. Dupont, please come with me." It was Principal Higgins. What did he want? They weren't doing anything wrong. The two of them followed him to his office and he shut the door behind them.

"Take a seat." He demanded. They did.

"Would either of you care to tell me what this is about? " He asked as he held up the "cum dumpster" poster and looked directly at Eddie. "Mr. Munson?"

"I don't know sir. Angel was.... well... she was assaulted, sir. This must be part of it. I... I don't know who did it, she won't tell me." He stumbled over his words, feeling his chest cave in on itself. It was hard to breathe thinking about what Angel had been through, now this, at school.

"Principal Higgins. Sir. We were the ones who were there for her. I drove her to the hospital, Eddie is with her almost 24/7, so why are we the ones you have in the office? " Becky stated quite bluntly.

"Here, get to class. " He said as he handed them hall passes. "Keep an eye on her. " They nodded and went off to their classes, hoping Angel is ok.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Angel  ran to class, but she should have just run home. Each period was awful. The kids and teachers stared at her. She had things thrown at her for most of the morning. She just wants it to be over.

"Hey whore!" She heard, but tried to ignore it. That was until an unopened soda can was thrown at her head. The class erupted in cries of laughter.

The teacher said and did nothing in her defense. Angel just sat there staring at her work. Right as the bell rang she noticed the blood dripping onto my papers. She grabbed them all up and went to the cafeteria for lunch. Big mistake.

 She sat at her usual table with Eddie and his Dungeons and Dragons friends. She was the only girl there, but she was comfortable with them. Angel was the first one there this time.

Eddie and Frank came in and sat down. They both looked at her, worry plastered on their faces.

"Angel, you're bleeding! " Eddie grabbed a napkin and gently dabbed her head where she had been beaned by the soda can. She flinched as he tried to clean away the blood.
