(TRIGGER WARNING AGAIN I'M SORRY. THERE'S A HUGE FIGHT AND A FEW HOSPITAL SCENES. STAY SAFE!)

(AH CRIES NO THE STORY MUST GO ON BUT WHY NO )

Goh POV

"So, we've gotten that out of the way! I know it takes a little load off my shoulders!"

It puts a little more on mine...

Ash poked my side, and looked at me. "Why do you look so sad?"

I ignored him and continued to stare at the ground, thinking.

He poked me again.

"C'mon! Let's go on an adventure. That'll shake off your doom and gloom attitude!"

"I've got to get to school."

"Oh. Well... I can walk you to school!" Ash smiled at me, but his brows were drawn together in worry.

"Fine. But let's be careful, okay?"

"Okay!" He grabbed my hand, and we began running. We were already outside, and Chloe was a little ways behind. "Hey, Ash! Stop!" I yelled, and he stumbled forward a bit before he stopped. I pressed against the wall, throwing my hand out to press Ash to the wall as well.

"It's him." I pointed at a tall boy, roughly the same age as Ash and I, who was laughing with a bunch of other people.

Brandon.

Ash pulled me close, and we stood there.

We should have just kept walking.

"Hey, you!" Brandon yelled, pointing at me.

Oh no.

Brandon came up to Ash and I, his arms crossed. "Hanging out with your boyfriend? Oooooh girly-boy got a boyfriiiieeeend..." All of the people around him laughed. It wasn't funny. "Hmm? Purrloin got your tongue?" I ignored him, and looked at Ash. "Come on." I squeezed his hand once, and let go. I knew what they were going to do as soon as I turned my back on them.

Brandon grabbed me by the collar of my shirt, and hoisted me up in the air. "Hey! Put him down!" Ash yelled, curling his fingers into fists.

"Hah! In your dreams. We've been messing with girly-boy for years, we won't be deterred by his punk boyfriend."

Ash gritted his teeth together, and I watched as his knuckles turned white. Not only were his hands turning white- I was turning white. My almond skin tone was fading faster than ice cream on hot concrete. I couldn't breathe.

Brandon shook me like a ragdoll, and threw me into his other friends, where they caught me and held me up. My knees wouldn't hold me, so they did, I suppose.

Brandon smiled at Ash. "Don't worry, we won't hurt him too bad."

Ash advanced maybe two steps, and that got him face-to-face with Brandon. "Ash!" I called, hoping to stop him from the stupid thing he was about to do.

Ash punched Brandon square in the jaw. He went down, and two of his friends teemed up and slammed me against the wall. Minors were circling my skull, and Ash was being pummeled by three guys. I saw someone in the distance.

Chloe.

She gasped and pressed herself to the wall, but her hair was still visible. Brandon nor his friends were paying attention though, and I heard her dial a number into her phone. She wasn't that far away, and probably should have turned her phone volume down.
