Raura-Changing the system

Chapter 7-too much?

Laura POV
It was the end of last period and I was heading to my locker when all the populars approached me, I got scared I had to admit because they were getting even closer and there was no Ross in sight.

"Hey dork, have you not cut yourself dead yet" said one of the jocks.

I didn't reply...tears filled my eyes as they all kicked and punched me. All I heard were insults that made me feel horrible but the thing is, I don't understand why they are doing this to me, I've never done anything to them. They carry on punching and kicking me for about 5minutes then they leave.

I slowly get up from the floor I didn't go to my locker to put my books in because I didn't want to take another chance of getting beaten again, so I ran home. As soon as I was home I ran up to my bed and thought about all that stuff they said to me back there. Maybe it was true I am useless and how haven't I cut myself dead yet?

Ross POV
Where's Laura? She should've been here like 10 minutes ago and she's never late. I decided to give her a text to see where she was.

To Laur
Hey! You alright? Also where are you?
Xoxo
From Ross

I waited for a reply but nothing, I started I get worried so I ran around looking for her, after checking the entire school I decided to head to her house. I ran there and as soon as I arrived I got the spare key from under the mat and walked in. I hear sobbing coming from somewhere possibly the bathroom so I made my way to the bathroom which was locked I heard her in there.

"Laura unlock the door" I said pleading.

"No I don't want you in here, just leave me alone" she shouted.

"Please Laura, please open the door, I need to know you're alright."

There was no reply and it was silent until a few moments after I heard Laura sobbing loudly and screaming in pain.

"Laura please open up" I said.

Still no reply so I picked the lock to open it. As the door I opened I saw a small fragile body curled up in the corner.

"Laura what happen?" I said softly.

"The populars that's what" she says bitterly .

"What...why...when" I said confused.

I walked over to her and sat down besides her, I put my arm around her and held her tight, like I was never going to let go. I looked down and turned her wrist to see new cuts ad scratches. I couldn't help but think this could've been avoidable if I was there.

"I'm so sorry Laura" is all I could get out.

" it's not your fault but I can't take it anymore" she whispers.

"No, no don't say that Laura" I said whilst reaching and holding her hand in mine.

We just sat there for a while until I suggested she should sleep.

We headed to her room as I'm staying here for a while, she got changed when I stepped out the room and when she was done I walked in and took off all my clothes except my boxers, she didn't really seemed bothered by it.

I walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth and when I came back there she laid peacefully and beautifully sound asleep, I laid next to her snuggling close, after that, all I thought of was Laura and with that I was asleep too.

I Woke up in the morning and I couldn't help myself, I wasn't thinking, I gently brushed my lips against hers and that spark ignited it was amazing, I was surprised but she kissed back too but was it out of gilt or her kindness not to make me feel bad?

Laura POV
Do I think what happened just happened, did Ross just kiss me because it felt like a dream, it felt magical.
