He came after you today. I was in chemistry when I heard that you were hurt.

I didn't care if I walked out of the class without letting someone know, you're worth more than that.

People were crowding the halls watching Toby take another punch to your jaw. You were on the ground trying to hit him back, but you stopped when you saw me.

why?

Everyone started to notice I was around them and I got shoved down right next to you. Toby was being held back by Troy and Micah, so he could watch his little sister suffer.

Remember?

You looked at me with pity and sorrow. I could tell by the look in your eyes that you're sorry, but it doesn't matter.

They still kicked me anyway until I blacked out. That's why I'm in the hospital typing this out to you.

Are you going to come see me?

Wait. Never mind, why would you?
