It all happened so fast. William tries to punch Jonas in the gut, but I quickly step in. William's fist comes colliding into my stomach, a loud smack echoing through the hall. William didn't even realize what he did until it was too late.
"Let's go guys," William says. His friends and himself run off, probably to get to class. Everyone who was watching hurries to get to class as well, but Jonas and I are left there alone in the hallway.
I scrunch up in fetal position on the floor, trying my best to not feel the pain. Jonas tries his best to comfort me, but to no avail. I let out a sound of pain; a cry for help. It wan't loud, just a silent scream into my endless void of suffering.
"Dani?" Jonas whispers, "A-Are you okay?" I nod my head and try to stand up. "Sit back down. You're hurt."
I didn't even notice I was silently sobbing. I shake my head, no, and steady myself against the wall.
Come on Danielle, pull it together, I think.
I take a couple steps to try and pick up my book and binder, but before I bend down to pick up my stuff, I look behind me. Jonas attempts to pick up some of my things, possibly trying to help me out. I quickly turn around, offering him help.
"Danielle," he states firmly, "Sit. Down."
I nod, abiding by his orders. I lean my back against the wall and slide down. Taking out my sticky notes, I attempt to make a legible note for Jonas, but I'm shaking to much from the pain.
I'm so sorry, I write. I understand that this is all my fault. I know that you probably don't want to speak to me, or even look at me ever again. I probably disgust you in every way possible.
A broken girl isn't someone you want to be associated with, so I understand if you want to erase my entire existance from your memory. So goodbye, Jonas.
I push myself up from the wall and hand the sticky note to Jonas before running away.
