Live For Me

Chapter 10

"Thank you for your time that you spend listening to my debate speech" I nod with a sly smile. Today the rivals are much more beefy and made me stutter in the beginning. Well I recognize one or two of them but they still look scary.

The judges nod and change expression between one another. "Do you have anything to defend your group ?" The main judge, wearing a tuxedo ask flatly.

The rivals just furrowed their eyebrows and started growling in anger. They started clenching their fist like they could reach our panel. "So now we know who the winner is"
Everybody started cheering and clapping for us.

"Josh, the ending was magnific!" My team mate grinned and gave me a fist bump. "Yeah dude it must have hit the rivals directly in the buttocks" they all nod. I laughed at their enthusiasm of supporting me and the other candidates. They all slowly separated as we entered the hallway.

A hand pulled me roughly by the shoulder. "Hey Max...I liked your speech before, most of the points were really great" I said sheepishly with a light grin. Max's team mates were gathering around me. I waved trying to look confident, squeaking a hi.

The biggest guy came closer to me and nudging my shoulder in anger. "I don't want to hear a word from you". Tilting his head like a hungry anaconda as I stare into his eyes. He wasn't the only one that is mad. I was mad too, okay. Thanks to that stubborn Dustin. Always sitting next to Kiara, the topics that is constantly about Kiara. Calm Down, Josh I sighed to myself.

I clenched my hand into a fist as I saw Dustin behind Max. Why is he here? I asked myself. I push Max away before Dustin could pull Max and hit his face. "What do you think you're doing?" I grab onto his collar and hold him upwards.

He struggle in my grasp, wriggling like a dying worm. "Woah woah Josh!" Max pulled me backwards but failed. In split seconds the hallway were chaotic just because of Max and his team mates trying to talk me out of things like punching Dustin.

I tried to elbow them away. My lips stutter in anger. "My boy..." A voice came from behind us. We went from chaotic hell screams to drop dead quiet. My jaw dropped as I saw my dad as he gave me a stern look.

Dustin's pov

That guy-the guy that hit me several days ago. Why is he here? Josh looks so panic like a dying ant, not wanting to be squish again. "Please don't hit me again, please" his lips quiver harder than before. Josh tried to run away with Max and his team mates but was caught by that guy.

"What are you going to do with Josh!?!" I scream as he drag Josh to the school entrance. "You again, boy?" He scoffs in annoyance. He darted his eyes at me as if I am disrupting his plan. Josh looks so weak in his tight grasp of that guy. Josh gestured me to stop but what can I do when I hate his guts for punching mine.

I tried to fight him but he only used one hand to push me to a wall. My head hit the wall so hard that I think my fragile skull has break.

I ran after him and jump on him from the top of the staircase in front of the entrance. I feel powerful for once. I head locked his head as he drop to the pavement so hard that my hands scratched against the rough surface.

Dustin, hold onto yourself I said to myself, breathe, breathe. I don't want to kill him so i just pinch his nipple, pulling it slightly. "Please Dustin, you are making it worse for me and Kiara, please stop" Josh push me towards the grass beside the pavement.

I look at him in disbelief, shaking my head. How can I just let him beat Josh up when he already did it to Kiara. The guy pounce onto me out of no where, pressing his hands around my neck. My eyeballs felt like it was going pop out of its socket. Well, this will leave me an unpleasant mark.

"Dad...NO!?!" Josh blurted out kicking the guy off me. Wait- Dad? Shocking. Despite the fact, I've never seen Josh's dad, making this effing possible. But what's the relationship between Josh and Kiara. This is so messed up.

Josh was brought down onto the ground with a sway kick on the shin. Damn. Then, I saw this familiar face, comforting Josh. Hey! I'm in pain too, come on girl. To be more specific, it's a girl. A curtain of hair was covering her face now."Eric don't!" She mutter loudly pulling onto Eric's hand away from Josh and me. Kiara.

I dont know wether she is brave and i just fought a wilderbeast or im weak and she is his weakness. Me and and Josh sat up, facing each other. I glare at him just in case he wants to choke me again like before. I arched my brow, gesturing him that he has got a lot of explaining to do. He started laughing absentmindedly.

"I'll tell you everything, every piece of shit this confusion is related to" he chuckled as he pulled me up. "I want it now or ill lose a lot of sleep because of this" he did a fist bump with me and he pulled me under a shady tree.

"You sure you want to know?" I nod with a stern face.

"Well, he is my dad" he pursed his lips, looking a bit dissapointing

"Im pretty much aware of that"

"Okay...and Kiara is- i mean could be his...i dont know, just his" i furrowed my brows.

"He sees her more than he sees me but once he sees me he starts abusing me" he shrugged staring away.

"I didnt know you were abused....man! Dude! Bro!" I panicked. Feeling useless like i always do. How can I not know my friend, ughh. "If he abuses you, what about Kiara?"

He shrugs in reply. I wince as i feel the pain on my head getting worst. I massaged it with my own hands. Josh fiddle with his fingers while looking at the ground. "Can I hit your place tonight?" I nod softly, not wanting my unattached brain to drop out of my head.
