Say Something

The Fight

I quickly ran to him. A crowd surrounded him.
"YOU GET OFF OF HIM!" I yelled
"Chloe don't he'll kill you." Newt said.
"What are you gonna do about it." Gally asked
I punched him. Straight in the nose. Theresa and Brenda were taking care of Newt.
"You just made a mistake." Gally said
He punched my cheek. Pain ripped threw my head. He kicked me and made me fall on the floor. I quickly got up and kicked him in the shin hard. He yelped.
"DONT YOU EVER HURT MY NEWT OR ME!" I yelled.
He slapped me in the face. It left a hand mark.
"Oooooh" the crowd went
Blood dripped from my mouth. I could see Newt trying to get up.
"Dont Newt." I said to him. Gally punched me again. Then again. Again. Again. I was losing this battle. Soon he punched me so hard I fell to the ground and it started to blur.
"Somebody get a teacher!" Someone yelled.
The only face I can make out was Newts.
"Why did you do that. Why?" He asked before everything went black

«» The next morning. «»
I slowly opened my eyes. My mom and dad were there.
"Shes awake." My mom said
"Na nai, Ta Tai, where am I." I asked
"Where at the Gilbert Hospital." Someone said.
I knew that accent. It was Newt.
"We'll leave you two alone." My mom said dragging my dad out of the room.
"All I remember is getting into a fight with Gally." I said
"Why did you do that?" Newt asked
"To protect you. Why did he fight you." I said
"It wasn't really a fight for me. I'm a wimp with no muscle. He beat me up because he accused me of stealing his girlfriend." He answered
"I don't like Gally." I said
"Of course you don't no one does.", He said.," He got suspended for a month. He was crying like a baby."
He held my hand and we sat there in silence. I stared at his eye. It was swollen.
"What happened to your eye." I asked
"Gally." Is all he said
"Can I have a mirror." I asked
Newt looked worried but he handed me the mirror on my bedside table. I looked at my reflection. There were bandages everywhere. I had a big purple bruise on my cheek. And my eye was swollen just like Newts. I gasped. It was bad.
Newt rubbed my knuckles. My mom and dad came in.
"Chloe the doctor said you will be able to go home tonight. But you won't go to school till your fully healed. You too Newt." My dad said
That made my mind racing. Wait where's Newts parents. How come there not here for there son who just got beaten up?
"Newt where's your parents." I asked
"Dont worry there at home they know what happened and they let me stay here with you." He said.
He kissed my cheek.
My dad was about to say something but my mom put her hand over his mouth. I chuckled.
"There's that smile.", Newt said, " I have to go. I will call you tomorrow."
"Bye." I said
"Bye." He said waving.
