"Why did you have to leave me like that? After all the times we spent together. All the times that we talked and spent in my room, we were never apart yet you're leaving me. Was I blinded by what I thought of as love? Is this a punishment for all of those that I hurt in my life? I don't really know. All I do know is that you took my heart away." I cried. 

 Jason had followed me home, Jessica had to go. Her parents just had to call her home. Why did she have to leave me with him. She knows how bad he had hurt me. I can't be left alone with him! 

"It all happened so fast, I wasn't sure how it came to be this way... One moment we were happy and the next we were arguing and fighting over the most stupid things. Lights being left on, my standard of cooking... How we were going to be spending the night together... that it has been a long time without seeing each other. Jason, that doesn't give you the right to go ahead and find a guy during your trip! I've been there for you since day one. And that is how you repay me. I loved you Jason. I really did." 

 I didn't give him any time to respond. I just walked inside the house and locked the door. I then ran to my room and cried. It was like my whole world was crashing down on me. I loved him, I really did. 

***

 I had pass out on my bed, but was awakened to the sound of my window being opened. I opened my eyes to see nothing. The window was locked. Maybe I was just imagining things. 

 I close my eyes again. I felt something touch my legs and my lips. I brushed it off. But it kept going. I opened my eyes, everything was blurry. Before I knew it, something was on top of me, i think it was a pair of lips pressing against mine, flicking against my upper lip, then dipping down to part my lips as his tongue dashed out to lick my teeth and retreat before I could respond. My eyes fell closed dreamily and envisioned the fireworks exploding all around me and the kiss. 

 Then everything went dark. It was like nothing was there. Was I dreaming this up again? It felt so real. Just like in the classroom. Maybe it's my mind playing tricks on me. My lips tingled. I got up to look at my window. The window was unlocked. Could it be that someone came into my bedroom? I brushed it off and stared at my alarm clock. It was only 4:35 AM! 

 Who in their right mind would come into my room this early in the freaking morning? What if there's a burglar? Oh my gosh. I'm going to  die soon. Mom and dad aren't even home. I can't do this.  I'm too young to die! 

 ***

 I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off. I don't feel like going to school at all! I'll have to deal with Jeremiah and his friends. I can't afford to skip school. I really want to get into a good college. 

 "Rise and shine beautiful." Jason's voice echoed in my head. I immediately jumped up and scanned my room. It was just me in here. I really need to stop thinking about Jason. 

 I got ready for school and waited for Jessica. By the time she got here, we were about 5 minutes late. That was a good thing since Jeremiah would already be in class. 

Jessica walked to her class and I walked to my locker. The hallways were empty. At least, not for long. 

 "Hello there queer." Jeremiah said from behind me. I turned to face him. He pushed me against my open locker. Pain shot through my back. "Thought you could hide from me?" 

 He kneed me in my chest and I clutched my body and fell to the floor. Jeremiah crouched down and grabbed onto my hair. He yanked it and I cried. Why did this have to happen to me? I never even did anything to him. 

 "What do you want from me?" I cry. 

 "You disgust me." he yanked harder. 

 "I never did anything to you!" 

 I closed my eyes and let him finish hurting me. 

 ***

 "Holy crap! What happened to your face? Did you get into the fight club?" Jessica freaked out. 

 "First rule: Do Not Talk About Fight Club!" I tell her and she frowned. 

 "You look like crap. You have to get to the nurse Erick!" 

 "I'm fine. Don't worry about me." 

Jessica walks away and comes back with Mr. Wigsby. I groan. Now I'll never hear the end of this! What if he tells my parents? I don't want to worry them. I really don't. 

 Mr. W walks up to me and starts asking me questions that he already knows. He then takes me to the nurse. The nurse almost fell to the floor and Mr. W set me on the chair. And then there was another set of questions that I had to answer. 

 "I'm going to have to call your parents sweetie." the nurse said.

 "NO! Please don't tell them." 

 "You can't hide from them forever Erick." Mr. W added.

 I limped to one of the beds and rested for a bit. There wasn't any stopping them from calling my parents. I'll just have to deal with them later. Right now, I'm in pain. 

 ***

 "Open your eyes sunshine." I hear my mother whisper. 

 "Mom?" 

 "It's going to be okay sweetie, I'm here now." she hugged me for the longest time, but not that tight. That's when I saw my father. He looked concerned. 

 "How long was I asleep?" 

 "3 hours. Mr. Wigsby told us everything. Is it true? That you've been getting bullied?"

 "Mom, I'm fine. We were just wrestling. That was it." 

 Dad cleared his throat. "Son, its going to be okay. You wont have to worry about him anymore. I promise. We'll sue him for hurting you." 

 "You can't just sue your way  out of things dad!" 

 "Erick, he could have killed you or broken your bones. After your mother signs you out, we're taking you to the hospital. Just in case." 

 "Dad, I'm fine. I can do cartwheels if I wanted to." He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. 

 "We're going to the hospital.

*** 

 It turns out that I have several fractured ribs. I smell my dad getting ready to sue the guy who could murder me anytime. Mom hasn't left my side.  She was so worried about me. I missed my mom actually caring for me. She hasn't held me like that in years. I miss the old mom. She was always there for me, but now shes out working with dad. 

 Jessica had come and visit me for a little bit. She felt so bad about it. She blames herself for my injuries. I just gave her a hug and she smiled. "I'm really sorry." she said over and over again. 

 "It's not your fault Jessica." 

 "I should've walked with you! He wouldn't have done anything." 

 "He would still hurt me. That's a goal for him. To hurt me." 

 "I'm really sorry." Jessica eventually left. 

 Mom tried to stay the night, but I wasn't allowed any visitors for this night. I was a bit upset so was mom. I knew she didn't want me to be alone.
