Changed Me ( Rewritten)

" When the police told him he didn't need to use me as a hostage he didn't agree. I was fucking stupid and told him to let me go. That's when he " he pauses, rubbing his forehead in frustration. " That's when he what " Copter says. " That's when Aek started fucking strangling me. He cut off my oxygen, making it to where I couldn't breathe " he says harshly before pulling down his sweater, revealing the dark bruises that wrap around his neck.

Both Kit and Copter gasp in shock. He looks between the both of them. " Your best friend. Forces himself onto people and even strangles them " he says harshly. He can see that Kit and Copter are shocked by what he's said. He doesn't care about their feelings. After all, they hurt him as well.

" It's ridiculous to see the both of you so shocked " he says. " Why. Why is it so fucking ridiculous " Copter says harshly. He laughs in disbelief before he says " You really don't know. Have you guys ever looked in a mirror ". Copter grabs him by the sweater. " Watch your fucking mouth " Copter says.

" Or what? You'll fucking beat me like you always do. That will only be proving my fucking point " he says harshly. Copter shoves him against the wall. He finds himself getting nervous but he knows that now is the best time to tell them the hell they put him through.

" You guys might not have hurt me as much as Aek did but. You are still in the same category of shitty human beings " he says. Kit walks over to him and pulls his sweater down, starting to make him panic. When Kit goes to touch his neck, he slaps his hand away. " Don't touch my neck " he says quickly.

" Hold him " Kit says. Copter immediately grabs his arms as he holds him against the wall. He struggles to try and get free. Max and the others are the only ones that can touch his neck. Kit can not touch him there. Not when he is friends with Aek.

Kit pulls his sweater down again before reaching out and touching his neck. He starts to cry as Kit touches him. " Stop it " he screams. Kit only pushes down hard on his neck, causing him to cry out in pain. " Stop it! Stop touching me! Stop " he screams as loud as he can. Copter immediately uses one of his hands to cover his mouth.

He starts hyperventilating. He feels the same fear he did at the mall. The situation is so similar to then. Only this time it's two people instead of one. One is touching him somewhere he doesn't want to be touched. While the other is covering his mouth and holding him against the wall.

Kit keeps looking at and touching his neck. Even turning his head to get a better look at the bruises. It hurts him. He wants it to end. He does the one thing he can think of. Just like at the mall, he uses his leg and harshly kicks. This time, it works and Copter is shoved away from him.

He quickly takes the opportunity and runs towards the exit of the bathroom. He gets halfway out the door when he's pulled from behind. He screams in a panic as he falls to the ground. He feels so weak as he's having trouble breathing properly. Kit is easily able to pull him back into the bathroom. " You fucker " Kit says harshly, dragging him back by his leg.

He's pulled back to the wall before the bathroom door is slammed open. He quickly looks up, seeing the principal. " What are you doing to him " the principal shouts. Kit immediately lets go of him. He uses the opportunity to quickly crawl away from them and to the principal.

When he reaches the principal, the door is once again quickly opened. A few more staff members come in. " You two, my office now " the principal says. His whole body is shaking as staff members, Kit and Copter leave the bathroom. It's now just him and the principal.

" Nat, do you need one of your friends here with you " the principal asks, staying a few feet away from him. " M-Max " he barley manages to say as he struggles to breath. He's no longer hyperventilating but he's panicking a lot. What Kit and Copter did was so similar to what Aek had done to him. It's filled him with terror.

It's quiet for a few seconds before the bell suddenly rings, causing him to flinch. The hallways are now going to be filled with students. " Is Max or someone else going to meet you at your last classroom " the principal asks. He nods his head. He watches as the principal opens the door and talks to a staff member before the bathroom door shuts again.

" I'm getting someone to bring him here for you " the principal says. He nods his head. He's grateful for the principal showing up and doing everything that he is. If he hadn't shown up, he doesn't know what would have happened. What if they did the same thing Aek did to him.

It only takes a few minutes before the door is quickly opened. When it does, he sees Max. He instantly breaks down as Max quickly gets on the floor and pulls him into a tight hug. " It's ok, I'm here now. No one can hurt you anymore baby. It's ok " Max gently says to him.

" Max, bring him to the nurses office when you are able to. And if you can, get one of your friends to bring him his things. I need to go talk to someone " the principal says. He can feel Max nod his head before the door is opened. " P'Max " he cries out. " I'm here baby. I'm here with you " Max says, gently rubbing his back.

They sit on the ground until he is able to stop shaking. Once he is, Max gently asks " Can we walk to the nurses office ". He forces himself to take a deep breath before nodding his head. Max slowly helps him stand up before they exit the bathroom. A school member follows them until they reach the nurses office.
