Not A Word

Chapter Seven

Tara

I saw Greg and Niall standing just outside the door and quickly pulled down my shirt to cover my sickly purple and blue torso.

"T-tara?" Niall stuttered as his eyes widened.

I gulped and stood up. "I-I'm going to go to the restroom." I said to Mrs. Trenton. She nodded and I rushed down the hall to the loo.

Greg

After Tara rushed out of the room I saw Niall watching her. For someone that hurt her constantly he seemed pretty interested in her.

I walked into the nurse's office. "Excuse me but I was wondering if you happen to know what happened to Tara?" I asked.

"I'm sorry but I don't. She comes in like that but never tells me how it happened. Are you a friend of her's? You know she really needs more friends. Someone to take care of her. I sense she doesn't get enough of that." the nurse blabbered.

When she finally finished I thanked her and left the school with Niall. As I was driving home I couldn't look at Niall. The nurse didn't need to tell me what I already knew. It had been Niall and his friends who had beaten Tara.

"Why are you glaring at the car in front of us Greg?" Niall asked. "They're going faster than us."

"That's not what I'm angry about Niall. We're not going to talk about it because I can't have that conversation with you while I'm driving or I'll likely crash the car."

"What the hell are you talking about Greg?! You're acting strange and to be honest you're kind of freaking me the fuck out."

We got to my house and I threw the car in park once we were in the driveway. "God Niall you really are an asshole. How the fuck could you do that to Tara?"

"What are you talking about?" Niall yelled back at me.

"You can not tell me that you didn't see Tara's upper body covered in bruises and they're from you! You did that to her Niall, with the help of your sadistic friends. How could you do that? How could you do that to anyone let alone a girl?! What the fuck has gotten into you man?" I was beyond pissed.

"I don't know okay? We just do. Maybe it's because he makes herself such an easy target. It's not your problem what I do and who I do what to. Stop butting into my life."

"Fine then walk the fuck home. You're not staying here." I said and got out of the car.

I heard Niall hurrying behind me, "What the hell, why? I can't go home Greg!"

"I guess you should have thought of that before you went against how mum and dad raised ya. We were taught to always respect women so what happened? You won't even give me an actual reason. You're not my brother, my brother would never do such a thing." I walked into the house and shut the door behind me.

"So that's it? You're just going to say I'm not your brother anymore?" Niall insisted.

He must have followed me into the house. God I'm so done with this conversation. "Yes now get out. I told you that you weren't welcome here."

"You know what. Fuck you Greg! I hope Denise gets rid of your sorry ass."

That was the last straw. I grabbed Niall by the front of his shirt and slammed him against the wall. "Get your sorry ass out of my flat." I threw him off to the side and onto te ground. "You know Niall maybe you can't feel anything. You seem to have no emotions. No compassion, no ability to love, no nothing. This is why shit between you, mum, an dad is so fucked up."

Niall pushed himself up off the floor and flipped me off. He then stormed out of my flat and down the street.

Damn what the hell has gotten into him?

Niall

He threw me out. Now I have nowhere to fucking go. I sat down on a park bench and ran my fingers through my hair. How did everything change so fast? I went from Greg pulling me out of class because mum and dad left and I had to live with him for a while to him kicking me out of his house in under thirty minutes.

This was all Tara's fault. If she hadn't gone to the nurse today then I wouldn't be in this situation. If Tara had just kept her mouth shut and sucked it up, everything would be as it usually was.

If I didn't have a reason to bully her before I sure do now. Greg might think that throwing me out would teach me a lesson so I would stop hurting Tara but he's dead wrong. If anything it gave me more of a reason to inflict pain and suffering upon her. I hope she doesn't think that me helping her today meant anything because if she does she's in for a hell of a surprise tomorrow.

I laid back in the park bench and closed my eyes. Soon enough I drifted off to sleep and dreamed of......Tara.
