The Bad Boy Returns

Chapter 17: Like Old Times Right?

Everything goes quiet.

I freeze in my spot and I see Jennifer frozen in place as well. The doctors and nurses pause for a moment before rushing back to keep him from bleeding out and not breathing.
My heart is practically beating out of my chest at this point.
I don't remember how this became my life. When did Shane and his family become such a big part of my life? When did Shane become such a big part of it? I can't remember when I started caring about Shane to this extent. We have become such close friends, although other thoughts have crossed my mind involuntarily.
It's seems crazy that our relationship-whatever it is- has progressed this far.

My thoughts are interrupted by voices next to me. I turn to left seeing everyone even more crowded around Shane. I walk closer hearing the faint sounds of beeping indicating a heart beat. I feel like I can start breathing again as I see them finishing wrapping up his wound and seeing his eyes lazily flutter open. The doctors and nurses slowly clean up and leave after checking his vitals, giving him room to rest. Then the doctor called Jennifer out to talk about his condition leaving me alone in the room with an injured Shane.

Lovely.

He looks around the room still recovering from the complications of almost dying. He looks nervous. When his eyes land on me he seems to calm down. There's no way I did that.
"Hey kitty, what's with the long face?" He says weakly giving his best smirk despite being in pain. I glare at him for making jokes at a time like this.
"Shut up" I try to hide a smile as I walk over to Shane. We spend the rest of that night in those exact same spots.

----------------------------------------------

I walk into school feeling a little exhausted. I had spent the whole weekend hanging out with Shane in his hospital room. I walk up to my locker to see. Nikki standing there waving at me. "Hey Kat!" She says excitedly. "Hey Nik." I say less enthusiastically. "So how Shane? He's been the talk of the school since the big boxing match incident." She says as her eyes dart around the hall. "Really? What are they saying?" Usually I would never care to know what the gossip around school was but these students have always had mixed reaction when it came to Shane.
They either loved him or they hated him. Both were to the extremes. "There some good stuff and there's some bad stuff." She continues. "Some people are saying that he kicked ass and he went down fighting and others say he got distracted by something and he was weak. It's all over the place really." She says frantically. "Honestly I would expect nothing less." I sigh. "They also say things about you and him." She says slowly. I raise an eyebrow and she takes that as a cue to continue. "Everybody knows you've been at the hospital this past week and they're even saying that you were the reason that he got distracted and got him injured." She says,cringing. "What! That's ridiculous." I say exasperatedly.
"You and Shane aren't ...you know..." She motions with her hands. I sigh. "This again. No we aren't a thing... It's I don't know." I glare at her. She's about to say something when the bell rings. "Um... I'll see you at lunch Kat." She waves walking away. "Bye."
I head down the hall going to English. I get to the class early and take my seat in the almost empty classroom. To my luck the only other people in the classroom are Brit, Alex and their little posse. Before I know it I'm hearing names and things are being thrown at me. "Hey loser!" One of them yells while throwing an eraser at my head. "Hey how's your boy Shane?" One of the jocks asked, snickering. "I saw him take a good beating." In that moment I took a page form Shane's book and turned up the heat. "I don't know why don't you ask Alex." I glare only at Alex, knowing he didn't care to visit his stepbrother at all after that one time his father forced him to. "How is your brother doing in the hospital?" I emphasize the last part. Guilt crosses his face.
Well that shut them up... For now. I don't miss the death glare from Brit as I turn back around as other students walk in. About ten minutes into class the door opens and Nate saunters into to the class. My red flags go up as he walk my way. And because this glorious universe hates me he decides ,of all the places In the class, to sit right next to me, in Shane's seat.
My heart involuntarily starts to beat fast with panic. Every time he comes near me I can't help but to panic with fear of what he could do to me. The worst part is that I'm the only one in this room that feels that pain. No one else sees that incident when they look at him. All I see when I look at him is that car and what was being forced to happen inside of it. I shudder and I swear I can still feel his disgusting hands all over my body as he pinned me to the back seat. I start realizing my eyes are stinging with tears. I quickly wipe my face so no one would notice.
Nate, who could not care less about what happened, is oblivious to what's going on in my head. But he knows he has control of me because of that situation. My thoughts are interrupted when I feel a hand grabbing my thigh. I nearly jump out of my seat. Mrs. Sanchez gives me a glare before returning to the lecture. I try to pry away Nate's hand but it doesn't budge. "Almost like old times right." He whispers in my ear as his hand goes higher and higher. The tears I was holding back spill over my face. He looks at me with fire in his eyes and squeezes my thighs. I push his arm with all my strength and run out of the classroom as fast as I can. I don't miss the whispers and chuckles as I run past them. Little didn't they know they had no idea what happened or what could have happened. I run to the nearest bathroom and kneel in front of a toilet.
I felt so disgusting and dirty I end up throwing up my breakfast. I start heaving. He doesn't think what he did was bad or wrong and that's one of the worst parts. He thinks it was ok. And I'm the only one who knows that he sexually assaulted me.
