Crushing on my Bully? (A Zerkaa Fanfiction) COMPLETED

Chapter 3

-Faith's Pov-

I heard the rustling of leaves above me as a cold autumn breeze blew past me.

I sat under a tall oak tree at the park, and flipped through my journal until I found a blank page.

I grabbed a pencil from behind my ear and gently laid the graphite onto the paper.

The possibilities roamed my mind, with everything that could fill this page.

My thoughts stopped when I heard a familiar laugh behind me.

I looked beyond the tree trunk, expecting something bad to happen, but my nerves soon calmed.

I saw the playground, with the little children roaming about. Then my eyes were laid onto a little girl that was swinging back and forth on the swing.

"Higher Josh!" She yelled behind her. I looked and saw Josh pushing the girl.

He did as said, adding a small amount of force to his normal push.

"Oh come on, Caroline." Josh started. "Your cousin Josh is getting a bit tired. Don't you wanna go on the slide or something?"

She simply shook her head no, and Josh sighed. "Fine."

They both giggled, and I saw a genuine smile come across his lips.

In school, I would always notice that Josh would never have a full or real smile. The ones that people saw were fake. When he really smiled, he lifted his eyes to show his enjoyment, causing me to smile back.

I turned back behind the tree, and started to think of what to draw again.

In front of me stood a large pond with ducklings being feed by children with the bread their parents gave them.

My hand started to make a contour (or outline) of the shape of the lake and the people standing around them.

I heard someone running towards my direction, and then I saw Josh's cousin, and on reflex, I shut my journal.

I looked for Josh, and noticed he had his eyes covered.

Caroline looked at me, at first surprised. "Oh hi. Are you playing hide and go seek too?" She asked.

I shook my head. "I was just reading. I think I better get going."

"You can join me and play. I am sure Josh won't mind." She said, with a small pouty face at first, but then smiled in hope.

Before I could speak, I felt someone grab the back of my hoodie, and instantly fell to the ground.

I expected Josh to be behind me, but instead I saw William, in full anger.

"Faith Matthews. What are you doing in the park? I was told you were going to the library to study, but instead you go to the park and talk to a little stupid girl?" He yelled.

I felt everyone's attention look towards me as I felt his hand grab my shoulder, and threw my back onto the ground.

I forced myself to speak up. "William. You can say whatever the fuck you want to me, but never include anyone in this. Especially like this girl, and everyone in this park."

His eyes grew big from me talking back, and I felt him kick me in the ribs very forcefully, cause little Caroline to cover her eyes and me to scream out in pain.

I felt someone else walk up, and I saw Josh. "Excuse me, but please. Leave this girl alone." His voice was stern, but I couldn't tell if he was talking about me or Caroline, or both.

William gave him a pity laugh. "Well, what do we have here?" His voice got louder with every spoken word. "Do we have a little hero trying to save the day?"

"But that is child abuse. Nobody should ever touch a child like that. Physically hurting someone is illegal. I wouldn't be surprised if someone at this very park has called the cops on you." He gestured around the entire park.

I hid my face as William picked me up by my arm, squeezing it to where it cut off my circulation.

I would have thought William would have done something to Josh, but he was going to push his anger onto me whenever we got home.

~~~

I was in the corner, head in my knees as I felt the constant pain around me, and William was doing it because he very well knew this was my last beating for him before the police were getting involved in this situation.

The glass was scattered along the floor, chunks of wood cover my clothing, giving me splinters.

"WHY WOULD YOU DISOBEY ME YOU SLUT? I BET YOU PLANNED THIS ENTIRE THING OUT SO YOU COULD GET RID OF ME! NOW THE POLICE ARE COMING FOR MY ASS AND IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT YOU BITCH." William screamed.

I felt a chair slam against my side, as he threw it in my direction.

"AND THEN THAT BOY DEFENDING YOU? HE PROBABLY HAS A CRUSH ON YOUR UGLY ASS FACE." He yelled again.

The stomping of his feet told me that he was in front of me, as he gripped my hands, removing them from protecting my face.

A sharp pain went through my nose, feeling as if he broke it, as well as my eye being incredibly sore, and I screeched out in pain.

I didn't want this anymore. I was glad he did explode at the park, so this could be over with.

That is when I stood up.

"WILLIAM. That is enough. Since is going to be the last time you are gonna pound me, let me fucking say how I feel."

He crossed his arms, pulling back another object to throw at me. "Now why the fuck would I do that? You are just a worthless piece of shit. You are a fucking whore. You are a complet-" He started to list off until I cut him off.

"WELL THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. YOU NEVER LISTEN OR LET ME SPEAK. THIS IS-" I started until I felt something slam the back of my head, causing my world to go dark in a split second.

÷Author's Note÷

WELP. Josh stood up for Faith.

But does that mean the bullying will stop?

Did Josh change his heart?

Or did he do it because of little Caroline?

Well, I am sorry this chapter is so delayed. I have just been really busy and I was debating on having this be the chapter, but I guess I will.

So if you guys did enjoy, leave me some feedback and see ya!
