Helping 11

Tadgh

" Someone needs to take your license away from you Aiden" Oscar chims from the back seat after we barely survived the ride to school.

" Oh I'm sorry but did I see you driving?" He practically yells back.

" Because you wouldn't let me" Oscar replies, yelling louder.

" I'm learning so I need to practice," he huffs. " That's how you get better!" he adds.

" Lad, I don't think you're going to get any better. '' I add my opinion to their conversion which is now a yelling match.

" See, even Tadhg agrees with me," Oscar says smugly.

Aiden turns to me. " I didn't know you were on his side" He says with a very hurt tone. "I thought we had a bromance going on" he adds, faking crying.

" We do but you also almost hit an old lady" I have to remind him.

" She was on the road in my way" he say defensively

"No lad she wasn't, she was on the footpath minding her own business" Oscar laughs out.

"Whatever" is all Aiden says before rolling his eyes and getting out of the car.

I turn to Oscar in the backseats.  "Maybe you should drive us home today" I ask with a hopeful tone because I love Aiden but I think I'm going to get a heart attack from how stressed I get when he's driving.

We both get our things ready to go when Aiden pops his head back in and tells me.

" Umm Tadhg you might want to get your girl."

I wouldn't call her my girl. I merely told them what happened yesterday and now they won't call her anything different. But him saying I need to go get her makes me practically fly out of the car. Oscars hot on my heels because he has known this girl a lot of his life. What I see makes me want to kick the car.

Connors fucking Smith has O's pushed up against a tree and she looks like she is trying to get away.

Before I can even think about it, I'm running over to her.

" Get the fuck off of her" I yell, pushing him so hard that he is tumbling over into the grass. I ran over to him, picking him up and punching him hard in the face.

" Get the hell off of me man" Connor replies, trying to hit back. I stop him by punching him more. I hear a satisfying crunch and then he has blood pouring down his face. He ends up getting a couple of punches to my face. One that will surely leave me with a split lip and bruise along my face.

"Get off of me" he yells trying to push me off of him but I just keep punching him. Suddenly there is someone pulling me back.

" Lad stop" Aiden is saying in my ear.

" Let go of me " I yell in outrage. Who does he think he is stopping me from punching connor. Him and Oscar were always getting in fights but the one time I did, they stopped me.

" Nora needs you" I stop. I'm such an idiot. I was too busy trying to fight Connor, I forgot to check if she was okay.

I turn around looking for her but she is curled up in a ball under the tree crying. My heart breaks for her. First she finds out her boyfriend is cheating on her and then he does this to her. I want to punch him all over again but she needs me right now.

"It's okay Os, I've got you" I pull her into me, letting her cry on my shoulder. I would have happily let her cry like this for as long as she needed but a sharp angry voice cut through the air.

"lynch, O'brien my office now" and then he walked away, mumbleing something about how he hates kids.

Nora's head snaps up and the sound of him and she immediately stands up, wiping the tears away from her eyes.
