"This isn't like you to get into a fight." Lena says to her son sitting across from her Jesús "I know I'm sorry the guy was being rude to Lexi and I didn't mean to hit y/n" Jesús says almost looking down in shame
"Where's y/n now?" Lena asks jesús shrugs "he took off I tried to help but he just shrugged me off" Jesús explains Lena lets out a sigh
"Okay you stay here I'll be back," Lena says standing up
....
You sit in the corner of the bathroom back against the wall holding onto your leg making yourself as small as you can
You can't move you can't feel it's strange it's like you're in your body but you're not at the time the air feels thinner
Your body feels numb this isn't the first time something like this happened normally you can pull yourself together but being in a place you don't know and having everything is new
...
Lena walks down the halls of school opening doors and trying her best to find you she knows something is up with you
She calls Steph maybe you've gone home and Steph can pop in and check "Hey babe," Steph says down the phone
"I can't find y/n," Lena says down the phone a panic in her voice "What happened?" Steph has always been good at being calm in a stressful environment or situation
"I am sure Jesus got in a fight y/n tried to stop it and ended up getting hit," Lena says as she continues to walk down the hall

GET UP

YOU CAN'T LET THEM SEE YOU LIKE THIS
You keep saying to yourself you use the wall and the sink to stand yourself up you stand there for a couple of seconds looking at yourself in the mirror dry blood just under your nose
Black eye a small plaster over your eyebrow you always wonder what life would be like if your mum never died or if your dad wasn't an alcoholic would you be happy?
What would it like be like?
You roll your sleeves up your eyes flick to old scars on your arm from cigarette burns you ignore it and turn on the tap as you do the bathroom door open
"Y/n" you look over the blood still on your face it's Lena you smile before turning back to the sink and cupping water trying to clean your face
"Are you okay?" she asks rushing towards you she puts her hand on your back but you shake it off you've never been one for touching
She takes the hint "am okay just loud" you say honestly Lena grabs some blue towels the type the school nurse gives you and hands them to you
Lena looks down at your arms "Who did that?" You quickly pull down your sleeve trying to hide it you don't say anything you keep your eyes forward and use the towels she gave you to clean your face
"Y/n am here to help you if you tell me what's going on I can help" You want to trust you do but it's harder said than done
"I was trying to stop jesús hitting some kid his arm slipped" Play dumb smart plan Lena nods for now playing long seeing you don't want to talk about it the trust isn't there yet
"I'll walk you to your next class" Lena says holding the bathroom door open for you
