Healing Hearts

6 || his consequences

Mateo ⋆｡°✩

"What's going on?" I turned around in response to the other voice, only to realise it's Elias and Melina.

They gave me a bewildered look as i was close to punching the hell out of the guy under me.

Elias eyes softened when he noticed Emma curled up in the corner.

"This piece of shit...he.." and they got it.

I nodded in response to their shocked and angry expressions, Elias took Melina's hand and they went to Emma, where they knelt down hugging her carefully and trying to start a conversation with her.

I was overwhelmed with rage. How could be fucking touch her?

I instantly clenched my fists and used my left hand to punch him hard on his jawline as i was on top of him, sending his head spinning to the other side.

As i raised my right hand to strike him again, i took a strong punch to the stomach instead. With a gasp and blurry vision from anger, i held myself up.

Noah and i both stood up, but before he could go i struck him again, this time on his nose, distracting him as i went for another punch in the liver.

He managed to stand up, while walking, he stumbled and he lost his breath for a few seconds before regaining it.

My anger increased seeing him. I wanted to rip his hands off of his arms and his dick off of his body.

Unexpectedly, i charged at him, knocking both of us to the ground as i tightly wrapped my hands around his neck and choked him. He gasped and attempted to kick and punch me while trying to scream for help, but i just took it all in silence, ignoring the pain i felt and kept strangling him.

I then, jumped up and began to kick his stomach, his whole body started to tremble.

I kicked him numerous times, i didn't give a fuck.

Tears were streaming down his face uncontrollably, he was crying and panting.

Lastly i threw punches at him, leaving my mark to his face, while his entire body was red.

"Mateo." Elias tried to warn me but i didn't listen. I hadn't realised what was going on until two school security guards were dragging me away harshly and grabbing me by my arms.

At first, i tried to move to break free of their hold but, when i saw Noah laying on the cold ground in the rain, i smirked.

I decided to stay still, he was covered in cuts and bruises, which i was glad for.

The school nurses were helping and bandaging him up as he was clenching his teeth in anger, unable to talk neither breathe steadily.

The principal gave me a lengthy lecture and suspended me for two days. She said she would have given me more but, she told me that i was at risk of having many absences in my classes. Which was true, since apart from my first class, i rarely attended any more.

I was questioned over and over again by the principal and teachers about the incident and my decision to beat Noah up severely, but i chose to remain silent and let them put the blame of my actions to whatever their imagination held.

Emma. I tried to talk with her even more after the incident, and surprisingly she's been letting me.

That's why she's at my house right now. It's the afternoon after that happened, the whole group is sitting in my living room, and Elias prepared a lot of snacks in several bowls.

In attempt to help everyone forget a little about what happened today, i decided to host a movie night.

Melina and Emma were laughing about some girl shit, while Elias sat in the corner of my couch and wrapped his arms tightly around Melina's waist.

I held the tv remote, and sat down next to Emma, looking for a movie we could watch. We finally settled on Fear Street, and although i can't say it was the best movie for tonight, the girls seemed to like it.

Emmalyn ⋆｡°✩

We were all covered in a big, cosy blanket while we watched the film. Mel and Elias snuggling together as i sat between Mel and Mateo, our arms grazing while i comfortably was laying.

During almost the entire film, i tried not to think about what happened today, but it's finally caught up on me. My eyes started to well up tears as the memories entered my mind again.

Even though he thankfully didn't touch those areas of my body, i still felt dirty, since he kissed and ran his fingers through my body. Earlier, when i had a shower, i scrubbed my skin repeatedly, causing it to burn and turn a shade of red.

By the time we reached the second Fear Street movie, the two lovers had fallen asleep in each others arms and the tears in my eyes hadn't stopped.

It wasn't until my tears dropped across Mateo's wounded arms, that i realised i was lying my head on his shoulder.

I hurriedly looked up at his face, hoping he wouldn't see but to my surprise, he was already staring at me.

"I'm sorry for what happened to you..I wish i was there earlier." he apologised, looking to my hands.

"I wish i was there for you." He continued, taking my hands and wrapping his around. The warm feeling he gave me soon entered my entire body.

"Thank you." were the only words i could whisper back. I was thankful. I was so fucking thankful for him.

Not only because he saved me but he's lend me a hand and helped me try to forget this. He's showed me what it's like to be taken care of and loved, platonically.

"I'd do anything to protect you." he whispered, almost too quiet to hear it.

He wrapped a strong arm around me tightly, i somehow felt even safer by his touch.

I was on the verge of sleep when i felt his lips brush against my forehead, "Goodnight, princess." he muttered, making me blush and grin a little.
