Medicated Love // Weston Koury // PART 1

Chapter 14: Tough Love

Savanna POV:

Beep, Beep, Beep.......

I groaned raising my hand far enough to hit the snooze button. "Rise and shin sunshine! I got eggs and bacon with some toast and O.J!" My dad shouted opening my curtains and kissing my head. "Please don't make me go to school today. Please daddy." I said softly in my baby voice hoping he would budge. But he wouldn't. "Sorry darling, doctor's orders. I let you skip yesterday and you're lucky they let you go. But one of your requirements is school. You need school and you need socialization. Hey, look at the bright side, it's Friday." I groaned as loud as I could stretching my arms and cracking my neck. He walked out my room as I decided to hop in the shower and wash my hair. I blow dried it and put it in a messy bun with a white headband. I did my makeup very light and threw on some sweatpants, my black converse, and a Hollister tee-shirt. I closed my closet noticing a boys shirt caught in the hinge. I picked it up realizing it was Weston's. My head started to hurt as I threw it in my backpack and ran downstairs. It's been a whole 4 days since me and Weston talked. Guess we just need some time. Not one message from him, not one phone call, not one snapchat, DM, or facetime. Was he that mad at me? I shook away my thoughts and glanced at the clock. "Shit! Uh- I mean shoot. I'm late." I grabbed some bacon and a protein shake and kissed my dad on the cheek. I was so glad he was home. He is going to stay for good I hope. "Hey hun, what's going on with that one boy? Weston is it?" I cleared my throat and zipped up my backpack. "Uh, nothing dad. I got to go, I love you so much!" I went out the door as he called back "Love you too! Have a good-" The door slammed. I laughed and ran over to the bus stop as I saw Weston, Ian, and a whole bunch of other kids waiting for the bus. I stayed on the other side of Weston hoping he wouldn't see me. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him look over here and look back. This was so awkward I couldn't stand it. Ian made his way over to me as he smiled. "So you're back eh? How you feeling?" I smiled and replied, "Better, definitely better. Thanks." He smiled rubbing the back of his neck. Weston used to do that same thing, it was so cute. Wait, no- stop it Savanna! "So, uh, what was wrong? Like why did you faint?" I looked back up at him and continued to tell him about the DLS and VLS and all the other shit. He said sorry and talked a little about what I missed in boring classes as I nodded and ever so slightly glanced over at Weston. I could feel him looking at me. I just wanted to run up to him and kiss him and make-up. But I didn't, because this is reality and stuff like that doesn't happen in reality. The bus drove up to the stop and everyone got on. This is what happens in reality.

Weston POV:

She was so close I could kiss her. But I wasn't going to. I mean, was she still mad at me? I know I blew up and I was stupid but I just want everything to go back to normal. I got on the bus and took the seat in the very back, 5 down from where Savanna was sitting. A girl sat down next her, the one from the lunch table. I could tell they were chatting and laughing and smiling as Ian sat next to me. I looked over at him and scoffed. "There are 10 other seats open and yet you sit here why?" I mumbled at him. "Dude, c'mon, are you mad at me?" I laughed sarcastically and shook my head. "No, I'm furious at you. What were you even doing at her house?" "Who- Savanna?" "No the principle, yes Savanna!" He turned away and rolled his eyes. "Why don't you just ask her, bet she's yapped all about it too you." "What? She hasn't told me shit. She said you were just saying hi. That's it." He looked shocked but still pissed as we sat for 10 minutes in silence before we got off the bus. We walked up the cement stairs toward the school doors as Ian turned to me and said, "Listen, I went over to her for advice. Okay? Laine cheated on me and I didn't know how to approach her on it so I asked Savanna because she seems smart. And she's a girl. We weren't doing anything ok? I mean it's not like this is going to last between you guys anyways." He began to walk off as I got in front of him and said, "What are you saying?" I started to get tense and I could tell Ian was getting defensive. "Nothing, I'm just saying you're going to hit her and quit her right? Pull a quickie and do it good." He laughed as I stepped closer towards him. "Shut the fuck up Ian. I love her!" A crowd started to form ever so lightly around us listening in on our conversation. "Oh sure, 14 and in love! Ok! Try one year with a girl not one week. Maybe then you can love her but for God's sake! We all know she's just some whore to you Weston!" Ian screamed as I felt my face get red. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Savanna staring at us with tears in her eyes. With all my might I punched Ian in the face hitting his nose almost breaking it. Blood started to rush out of it as he hit back even harder punching me in my gut pushing me to the ground. I felt the wind flow right out of me as Ian got on top and started to punch me. I pushed him off and kicked his waist as he fell. He stood back up and by this time, a whole crowd was around us recording the whole thing. I threw my arm up ready to swing even harder this time when Savanna pulled me away screaming at me to stop. Ian came back at me trying to hit me but instead punching Savanna in her stomach. Right on her bruises. I screamed, "SAVANNA!" The whole crowd groaned scattering away as teachers rushed into the scene pulling me and Ian away from each other. I felt everything go silent as I saw Savanna lay on the ground holding her stomach groaning. Her eyes began to shut as the teacher pulled me to the ground. "No! Stop, she needs help! Please!" "Be quiet!" The teacher hissed at me as he took me inside the school straight to the principal's office. As I walked down the hall, students gathered to stare and whisper rumors about me and Ian. But I didn't even care one single bit. I cared about Savanna. Was she even ok? I was escorted to the main office where I had to sit with Ian and wait in silence until the principle called one of us in. I turned around peeking through the blinds to see if I could see anything when I saw Savanna go into the nurse's office. Suddenly the door slammed open and in walked my mom with an angry expression on her face. I was about to say something when a firm voice called me and my mom into the room. I entered the humid atmosphere greeted by the principle who was sitting in a chair behind his desk. Two chairs sat awaiting my arrival along with my mom. I sat down sighing hoping I wasn't showing any sign of fear as my mom kicked me under the table to stop rolling my eyes. The principle cleared his throat and took a manila file out of his drawer. "So, as you know, your son Weston here got into a fight with a boy named Ian Fairchild." My mom gave a slight gasp, tucking a strand of her brown hair behind her ear and recollecting her posture. "Um, that can't be correct Principal Plier; Ian is Weston's best friend. They have been friends since 4th grade." The principle gave a sharp look at me as he rested his hands on the desk twiddling his thumbs. I never had a thing against Principle Plier because he always seemed like a nice guy. But when you're on the other side of that desk, the mood changes immediately. The principal stood up and opened the door motioning Ian to come in. My mom stared at him and back at the principle. "You see Mrs. Koury, this is Ian Fairchild, correct?" My mom slowly nodded her head looking at me with eyes of such disappointment. "Okay, that will be all Mr. Fairchild." Ian walked out holding an ice pack to his eye as Principal Plier closed the door and sat back down. "So, if you don't mind me asking, who initiated the fight and why did this fight even occur?" My mom asked with a voice of desperation. I closed my eyes hoping no one saw me punch Ian as the principle began to stand up again and walk around the room. "That's what I am trying to figure out Mrs. Koury. The teachers didn't get to the scene until the fight was over, but apparently either Ian or Weston punched a young girl named Savanna Holman. Thankfully, she's ok but we have a strict 0 tolerance policy for violence. Especially hitting girls!" My mom gasped even louder this time shaking her head. "Principle Plier, my son would never hit a girl especially Savanna seeming that they are dating. "Mom! Shut up!" I screamed looking at her. Principle Plier looked at both of us excusing himself out the door. As the door shut my mom started, "Weston William Koury what happened? Tell me right now every single detail." I rolled my eyes and turned from her. "Nothing happened. Ian and I got into an argument and we started punching okay? Then Savanna tried to break it up but Ian punched her on accident when he was trying to punch me. That's it." I said curtly not looking at her. I wish this would just be over and I could just go to class, but it's not. My mom kept on staring at me and said firmly, "Weston you have 2 minutes to tell me why the fight was started and what it was about." "And what if I don't?" I said calmly looking up at her. She folded her hands and tilted her head and said, "You are grounded from YouNow, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and everything other social media! This is a serious matter and I need to know what's going on with you." I rolled my eyes again even harder looking back at the ground as I stood up. "Fine! Savanna and I got in a huge fight on Monday night and haven't talked since. She was secretly seeing Ian and I wanted to know why. So we both got mad and stopped talking to each other. When I saw Ian on the bus this morning he told me he was just saying hi to her so I let it go. But when we got off the bus, he told me I was just using Savanna and he called her a whore! So I punched him Mom! I punched him hard and I don't regret it because she is not a whore!" I screamed falling back into the chair breaking into tears. My mom laid her arms around me and hugged me. I sobbed into her chest and let all my emotions flow out onto her brand new shirt from Target. "Awh, my little boy's first real life drama." She chuckled and kissed my head rocking me back and forth like a newborn child. The only reason I didn't pull away is because no one could see us. No one could laugh at us or hurt us. It was just my mom and me.
