The Next Morning

I woke up in a room with all white walls. My lower half hurt badly. I noticed my mom sleeping on the right side of the bed in a chair. I reached over and tapped her.

"M—mom?" I called, but it came out in a dry whisper. Her eyes flicked open.

"Diamond, oh my goodness baby." She rose out of her seat then hugged and kissed me. "W—ho did this to you?"

"These—"

All of a sudden, two officers walk into the room. "Good Morning Diamond we're back to collect information on what happened to you last night." One officer exclaimed.

They had their clipboards ready for my information. "Uhm—"

"We're gonna need you to speak louder, honey."

My throat was so dry like I swallowed buckets of sand. I gulped down some saliva to moisturize my throat, then spoke. "I—I was bullied by these five boys for three years. Brothers actually. One day they didn't come to school, and I was all happy until after. I had just pulled up in my driveway. After leaving the car and walking to the porch, one brother pushed me to the ground."

"Can we know his name?" Officer Richards spoke.

"Bryan...Bryan Breeding is his name."

"Continue."

"So, they said how they had a break from me and now they're getting back to work. I was so scared, I didn't know what to do. He was getting too close so I spit in his face and ran."

After I finished telling them my story and giving them their names, I glanced at my mom and she was fuming with anger.

"Why didn't you tell me you were being bullied?! You kept this from me for three years?! Three years, Diamond?!" She screamed.

"Mom please, you're giving me a headache." I told, rubbing my head.

"Ma'am we're gonna need you to lower your tone of voice." Officer Richards said.

"Okay." My mom said getting calm. "I'm going to get breakfast, do you want any?"

"Yeah, a muffin and an orange juice."

"Okay." She said after leaving the room.

"We'll be back another day Diamond. We wanna know more about this bullying problem.

"Actuall—"

Before I could get my words out, they had already shut the door. Ignorant asses.

A Week Later...

I haven't been to school in a week. I don't think I ever wanna go back there. I just want to stay snuggled up in blankets, stuffing my face with junk food and watching my favorite cartoons...but I can't.

At School

Lunch Time

Patrick's P.O.V

Diamond hasn't been to school in a week and I'm starting to worry. We could have seriously hurt her. What if she told? I don't want to go to jail. Jail sure isn't a place for me.

Dustin tapped me as I stared into space. "Yo Pat." He waved his hand in my face.

"Oh, huh?"

"Whatcha thinking about?" Dustin asked.

"Nothing."

"Nah, man, tell us." Kelly said.

"Okay. We could've seriously hurt Diamond. She hasn't been here in a week and she could've told someone." I spilled. All of the guys including me had worried looks on our faces.

"Fuck that! Raping her was your idea! I'm not going to jail." Carnell whispered to me.

"Y'all shouldn't of followed in then."

I sighed. What are we gonna do?
