Teenage Years (Book 1)

Chapter 13

After the nurse took care of Justice's cut. She got sent to the principals office and got talked to for a few minutes.
It was just after lunch and everyone was at their lockers getting their stuff for their next class. Squishy was walking down the hall way and everyone was glaring at her because everyone loved Claudia and worshipped her.  She sighed and looked down and continued to walk to her locker.  When she reached it, she opened it and threw her stuff in wincing.

"h-hey" she said looking at Hailey as she got her stuff for her next class.  

Hailey looked at her, "Hey, how are you feeling?"  she asked hugging Justice. Justice sighed and hugged back.

"M-my wrist hurts like hell.  If you set it on fire I probably wouldn't notice and no thanks to fucking Claudia, I'm suspended for a week."

"WHAT!" They all said.

Justice sighed, "yup"

"Oh hell no! You cant get suspended! You were defending your self!" Hailey said pissed. 

"Ya I know" Justice sighed.

"We are not going to let you get suspended," Michael said. 

"No guys its fine its just one week, plus I'm kind a glad to get out of here though.  Especially with everyone glaring at me."

"Everyone is glaring at you?" Luke asked.

Justice nodded looking at him.

Luke sighed, "I think we need to talk." he said sadly.

"We will be in class" Ashton said as he, Calum, Michael, and Hailey walked away.  Justice waved and looked at Luke, nervous about what he had to say.

"Is this about me punching her?"

"No, no of course not. I could care less about that bitch. we need to talk about something else."

"Then what is it?"

"Well i want you to know and understand that I... that I love you Justice. I love you more than anything in the world.  I know we haven't been dating long but ever since I met you, I had a feeling that you were perfect and you are.  I love and cherish every moment of us together and will forever and and always.  But us being together is putting you in danger. Claudia obviously wants you dead and I don't want that to happen to you.  She cut you and it is because of me.  I'm the reason she is after you and if you broke her nose or not.  She is still going to do everything in her power to keep us apart.  if she ever hurts you again I would never be able to live with my self.  The only way to protect you is to break up with you.  I'm sorry Justice but we cant be together anymore" he said sadly.  

Justice was looking down and tears rolling down her face.  She has never felt so broken in her life.  

"L-Luke I-I don't care what she is going to do to me, p-please don't do this."

I-I'm sorry Justice. I have too and I care about what she might do to you so I'm not taking any chances."

Justice shook her head not able to say anything else from how hard she was trying to hold back her tears. She took her necklace that said, "Bitch" off and handed it to Luke before running off sown the stairs, outside, and onto the highest bleacher where she sat and just cried not caring if she skipped her classes. Luke sighed and looked down at the necklace, holding it tightly before walking to class.

Justice stayed on the bleachers through out the whole class. After the class was over Hailey went to look for Justice, and sat next to her. Justice kept crying on her shoulder.

"Hey, what happened?"

He-he broke up with me."

"WHAT?! WHY?! This is not a good time for him to do that!"

"He-he said he doesn't want Claudia to hurt me anymore and its his fault. He said he loved me and he didn't want me to get hurt anymore."

Hailey sighed. "He is just doing it to protect you."

"I don't care! Claudia always gets in the way of everything!"

"I know... do you want to sleepover at my house tonight?"

"Ok, thank you."

Hailey smiled and hugged her again.

Justice slightly smiled wiping some tears away and carefully hugged Hailey back.
