Can this be?

Chapter 12

Tobins POV

After walking up the long ass flight of stairs, we finally make it to Ms.Morgans apartment room. She took her keys out of her pocket and unlocked her room revealing a very clean, neat, and organized room. Honestly, it looks a lot better than my apartment.

She has a flat screen tv in the front of the room, a wooden coffee table in the center, a light brown sofa leaning on the back wall facing the tv, and a reclining chair right next to the door.

Past the living area, where the tile meets the carpet, there's a kitchen to your left with an island in the middle. And to the right of the tile, you have a hallway which has 4 rooms that I have no idea what they are.

All in all, I'm pretty surprised. This is a beautiful apartment room and obviously it suits her well. I wonder if she lives with anyone. Probably not tho.

We walk over to the sofa and she gently sits me down which I'm thankful for because the pain in my ribs was sky rocketing. But I wasn't going to let her know that.

"Sit tight, I'm going to get my med kit, wet Rags, and some ice." She says as she walks to the 2nd room which I'm guessing is the bathroom.

She comes back a couple minutes later with rags, her med kit, some clothes, and Ice.

She's really taking care of me, I feel so thankful for that but at the same time, I'd hate to invade her personal space. She's my vice principal for Petes sake, this must be awkward to have a student in your apartment.

"Look, I probably just need like a rag to clean my face, I really don't need all of this. I don't want to invade your personal space ya know? Like this is your apartment and here you are nursing a student. You really don't have to do this cause it's my fault that I got in a fight, you really don't have to." I say.

"No, I actually kind of want to help. You seem like a really sweet girl Tobin, I'm here to help you even if I'm your vice principal. And your not invading my personal space, you're actually keeping me company. I don't live with anyone so it's nice to have someone to talk to so you're welcomed here." She says flashing a warming smile.

"Well, I'm not the sweetest person, but thank you for this, for everything." I say honestly. Cause that was the truth, I really wasn't the sweetest person, but I was glad that she was helping me.

She cleans off my face with the wet rags and a couple things in the med kit. Nothing seriously happened, I just have a couple of bruises and I have a cut on my cheek, but they shouldn't affect me much.

The only thing that was seriously bothering me was my ribs, but I don't want to scare Ms.Morgan with what hides under my shirt. Every girl who's ever hooked up with me never really asked, I guess nobody cared enough to notice them. The only one who knows about them is hope.

If it wasn't obvious, I don't trust a lot of people.

The only thing I can do is try and get up without showing her that I'm hurting.

"Alright Ms.Morgan, thank you so much for everything, it really means a lot." I say as I get up. But of corse, nothing goes as planned.

Before I get up, I feel another sharp pain, this one worse than the before and i can't help but wince, holding my ribs in hope that it stops the hurting feeling I have.

"Shit! Damn it, that really fucking hurt." I say as I fall back to the sofa. I really didn't want to cause a scene, and I don't think I did but I tried not to show pain. Pain is a sign of weakness and if there is one thing I'm not, it's weak.

But at the same time, I just got kneed fucking hard in the ribs by one of the toughest guys in our school so I couldn't help but feel the agonizing pain.

"God Tobin, please sit down. I'm going to need you to lift your shirt. You're in pain and all I want to do is help, you have to trust me." She says as she reaches for my shirt.

I stop her hand and she looks confused.

"Uhhh, it's just a little sore, it'll go away, I'm sure of it." I lie in hopes that she'll believe me.

"Tobin, if you're scared of me seeing your abbs don't be." She says chuckling a bit. " I just want to help you, you Have to trust me. Please just let me take a look, I can tell that you're hurt and that you need help. You wouldn't let me take you to the nurse so I'll be a nurse and help you out. Please just lift your shirt." She pleads looking me directly in the eye.

"I'm not scared of showing you my abbs, I would show off my abbs if I could." I say causing us both to laugh. And again I feel a pain in my ribs causing me to immediately stop. "But it's what lies under my shirt is what I don't want you to see, I don't want you to freak out and stuff." I say not realizing I kind of just told her that I was hiding something.

Damn it. How does she get to me like this? Usually I would tell someone to back the fuck off, but with her I didn't... And it's kind of confusing.

"Look, Tobin I won't judge, and trust me, I won't get scared off just please let me help." She begs and I can't help but fall under her spell.

I sigh knowing that she won't give up.

"Ok, just please don't tell anyone, and don't get scared."

I lift up my shirt and look down at my torso then back at her. Revealing not only a very purple bruise from where I got kneed, but also my scars.

She was very shocked and confused. 2 emotions I knew were going to lead to many questions.

Well, here we go.
