Bullied By B5

Forgive me!

I can't believe I had a flashback that took up my whole class time. I walked to my locker to put my book back.

I looked into the mirror on my locker door and fixed my hair, pushing strands behind my ears. In the mirror I saw Patrick unlock his locker. He does a stressful sigh after he grabs his book.

I hurried and grabbed my history book and shut the door of my locker. While I attempted to walk away, Patrick grabbed my arm softly.

"Diamond...wait."

I pause for a brief moment. What does he want now? I turned around and held my book to my chest, with one arm.

"I need to talk to you."

"When? Or how? You have community service after school."

"At lunch. I want you to come eat outside with me at the bench in the back, so we can talk. I want you to know why I acted the way I did towards you for these past years."

The way his voice sounds when he's speaking to me, takes me back to when we were friends...best friends. The way his lips look when...what the fuck am I talking about?! I'm not supposed to fall for him again after what he's done.

"Ok."

With that, I walked away, leaving him there. I strolled to history class and entered the door. Tammy waved at me. She gestured me to come over to her.

"Yeah, wassup?"

"So, when you were gone, we started a project yesterday. Everyone has a partner but me, so you're my partner!"

"Haha, what's the project?"

"We have to choose an event in history and do a report on a poster board. We're having a presentation next week. I already chose The Cold War, so."

"Okay."

Lunch Time

After class, I sauntered to my locker and put my history book inside. I shut the door and walked to the cafeteria. I went to go get my lunch. I picked up a tray with mozzarella sticks, with the sauce and picked up an orange Crush soda.

Then, I walked out of the cafeteria, and ambled outside to the bench Patrick was referring to. He was already there eating pizza and onion rings. He looked up at me as I sat down.

"Uh, hey." I greeted.

"Hey. Thanks for coming. I really needed to tell you something important."

"Well what is it?"

"It's about why I started bullying you in the first place." While Patrick tells me his story, I start to visualize everything.

Visual Flashback

Patrick's POV

Tears quickly rolled down my face as I walked away from Diamond. Leaving her there, crying and hurt. When I looked back, she was running put of the building. I walked back up to Dustin and Bryan.

"You got what you wanted." I tried to walk away, but Dustin put his hand on my chest and pushed me back in front of him.

"You did the right thing." Dustin says.

"No I didn't! Why do you guys hate her so much?! I...I loved her." I attempted to walk away again, but he pulled me back again.

"She was tearing this family apart. She was taking you away from us! From now on, she's gonna pay for trying to steal you away, and you're gonna help us." Dustin said.

"What do you mean?"

Dustin giggles. "Bryan. Do me the honors and tell him."

"We're gonna torture her."

Anger builds up. "No! Leave her alone!"

"See Patrick. You just don't get it do you? We're brothers, you should already know us. If you don't do it, she's gonna get seriously hurt, and you're gonna get it bad too." Dustin exclaimed.

I looked at them in disgust and walked away. I wasn't gonna let them hurt her. But, if im not involved with torturing her, they'll hurt her regardless and I can get hurt also. I have no choice...

End of Visual Flash Back

Diamonds POV

A tear rolled down my face. Patrick softy wiped it away with his finger. "I hated myself for it. I didn't want to hurt you...but after these few years, I just got used to it." I was still stuck on the part when he said that he loved me.

"Patrick...you loved me?" Patrick looked me deeply in the eyes.

"Yes. And I meant it. I just wasn't gonna let them injure you in anyway, but it still occurred with the bullying. Since Dustin is the oldest, he controls us and tells us what to do. Of course we listen to him. He will do some sinister things to us if we disobey him." Patrick says. I can't believe this is why they started bullying me. I'm so hurt right now.

"And Patrick?"

"Yeah?"

"I have something to tell you too."

"What is it?" I take a deep breath before I break the ice.

"I'm...I'm pregnant." Patrick looked at me in shock. Then, he quickly pulled me into a tight hug.

"I'm so sorry Diamond! I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!" I began to cry as Patrick apologized over and over again. "Please forgive me! I didn't mean to hurt you like this. Just please...forgive me." Patrick says.

"I do... I forgive you."
