Crushing on my Bully? (A Zerkaa Fanfiction) COMPLETED

Chapter 10

-Faith's Pov-

I have been crying into his shirt for nearly a half hour before I calmed down.

That night has made me cry for days, but I didn't want to seem troubled in front of Josh.

He continued to comfort me, hugging me tight, and gently stroking my back.

I finally looked up. "Josh?" I whispered.

He recognized my quiet voice, making him look down at me. "Yes?"

"Why are you staying with me? I am sure you have better things to do like record or at least go eat some breakfast."

He looked at me in disbelief. "Why would I do such a thing? I care about you. I wouldn't leave you crying your eyes out without comfort. It would hurt me so much to leave." He said.

I came into realization. "I need to call home. To tell them I am okay." I said, tearing myself from his grasp.

I looked around for my bag. "Josh, did you happen to bring my backpack with you?"

He nodded. "Yeah, it is just downstairs over by the door."

I scurried down the steps, and searched through my bag until I found my phone.

I hit the home button to find notifications from Amy, Bella, and Amy's parents.

Knowing I would hear screaming from all of them, I just decided to text Amy and Bella.

'Hey, it's Faith. I had a little bit of trouble last night, but don't worry. I am absolutely fine now. Might be back tonight. Sorry if I scared you both.' I typed.

I hit send, and turned my phone off, going back up to Josh's room.

When I came back up, Josh sat at his gaming chair, scrolling through twitter.

Without him noticing, I leaped onto his bed, and looked at the ceiling, sighing softly.

He turned his chair sightly, hearing my sigh. "Oh hey Faith. Didn't know you came back up, did you contact your guardian?"

I nodded. "Do you mind driving me there? I kind of don't think I want to go back to downtown after last night."

"Well, I understand. And of course, I'll drive you. Do you think that Amy and Bella will be nice considering after everything I put you through? I am really sorry about that by the way."

I pondered a quick second before answering. "They might. But I won't forgive you easily. After everything you put me through, you will have to regain my trust." I said.

He sighed softly. "I know, and I will do anything to make you trust me. Just give me the chance."

I nodded, as I felt my phone buzz in my pocket.

I looked at it and saw Amy's name pop up at the top as it read 'Jesus christ Faith! Don't scare us like that! We were so worried. But as long as you are alright, that is all that matters. We actually didn't have Nando's because you were gone.'

I give a small smile. 'Must have been a relief with how much you have it.' I typed.

She sent me back a bunch of laughing crying emoji, and I turned my phone back off.

I looked back at Josh who was studying me. "What are you looking at?" I asked, being curious to what he was thinking.

He snapped back into reality. "Oh. Sorry. I just zoned out for a second. What did you say Faith?"

I shook my head, laughing. "Nevermind."

He laughed at his stupidity as well. "Well, do you want some cereal? You are most likely hungry and Simon has probably calmed down now, and if he says anything again, I won't mind setting him straight."

I nodded slightly, but I wasn't scared about Simon's reaction, I was more worried about the others. I began thinking of the scenarios that could take place. Yelling, tripping, or faceplanting me into the bowl.

I didn't even notice my hands were shaking in fear until Josh grabbed one and wrapped his fingers around mine. "Don't worry Faith." He reassured me.

I nodded and he lead me down to the kitchen.

There was still pieces of glass on the floor from when Simon knocked something over in anger, but I was wearing shoes so it wasn't much of a concern than being barefoot like Josh was.

He told me where everything was and told me to make it as he cleaned the glass up.

He walked out and looked at the small variety of Cheerios, Lucky Charms, and Wheetos.

Being the childish kid I am, I went for the Lucky Charms, and filled my bowl up half way.

I heard footsteps behind me, causing me to turn and see Vikk in disbelief. "Why the fuck is Faith Matthews in our house?" He whispered in anger.

My nerves began to feel uneasy. "Vikk, I didn't plan to be here. Let Josh explain. It was never my intention to be at a house full of people who bully me." I told him.

His brown eyes still boiled. "Faith, get out of my house."

I slightly nodded, and made three steps until Josh came in with a dustpan full of glass. "Faith, you stay. Vikk, chill. She had a really rough night last night and got knocked out in an alley and I found her. She had no reason to go the the hospital with the one injury she had. And I don't believe this is your house. Everything is in my name because I am the oldest, remember?"

Vikk looked at Josh in disbelief. "After everything we have done to her, you magically are going to help her? And why did you bring her here? Doesn't she live with Bella and Amy?"

"She does, but I don't know where the house is. Now treat her like a normal guest." He said, leaving again, ending the conversation.

His eyes glued onto mine. "Faith, you are going back to that stupid hell hole, and Josh is just being like this to mess with you. He wouldn't do this if he wasn't."

I shook my head, disagreeing. "Vikk, he won't do that. He has a good side, unlike some of you." I growled back at him.

"Give it time. He will see, and so will you." He whispered, and grabbed the box of cheerios, having a few spill out and rolling onto the countertop and floor. "And no. I will not pick that up."

I sighed, scooting together the wandering cheerios, and cleaned them up.

÷Author's Note÷

Alright. Okay. Sorry I had my phone taken away for a portion and I was really sick too which I didn't feel like writing.

But yeah. Josh is being goals af. Vikk is being a douche. And Amy and Bella didn't have Nandos.

Cool.

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