Chapter 5

"I'm sorry okay, it wasn't my choice." I said as my eyes watered up. "I know it wasn't your choice, but just come back here, Josh, I need you." Debby said as if she was on the verge of tears. "I know how tough it is. I wish I was there too. Maybe we can meet up for coffee?" I said hoping she'll say yes. "Fine, but we're gonna have a long talk. Bye." She hung up before I could even say bye. I knew Debby needed me, but I couldn't do anything for her.

I got dressed and went to school, I had to walk since my dad was hungover and couldn't drive, nor wake up.

I got to school in about twenty minutes and missed my first class. I heard the bell ring and I headed to 2nd. 

Once I got there Tyler went and sat next to me. "Where were you?" He said concerned yet worried. "S-sorry, uhm, I- I had to walk." I didn't want to tell him about Debby or my dad. I only just met him, I can't let him into my life, not just yet. "Oh." Was all Tyler said, then class started.

Once lunch came, that guy Ralph came over again. "Wanna come?" He said pointing at his table. I nodded, I do like being alone, but sometimes I needed company. I went and sat at the table, there was a two girls and three guys, including Ralph. "That's Melanie. That's Ashley. That's Patrick. And that's Brendon." I laughed when I saw Brendon, his forehead was just too much. Melanie had half black and half blond hair which I, personally, thought was cool. Ashley had blue hair and she looked like a punk or something. Patrick looked the most innocent, he had glasses with blond hair. Brendon, Brendon was hot. I was still up for Tyler though. Besides his big ass forehead he had brown hair and glasses.

After I met everyone I sat next to Patrick, we were talking and laughing and having fun. I thought this school was bad, I guess not. I still want to go to my old school just for Debby. I wish I could just take her with me.

After lunch I went to biography. When I got to my class, about ten minutes in, i get a call. It was from Debby. I ignored it. When the call ended I got a text from her.

Debby: Josh, the bullies are back. They said since you weren't here anymore that they can hurt me.
They did things I didn't like. Josh help me. Please.

I was in complete shock. "Josh? You okay?" Tyler whispered to me. "I- I-" i couldn't even finish my sentence. I felt like I was about to faint. I asked to go to the bathroom and the teacher let me. When I got there I immediately called Debby. After a few rings she picked up.

"Josh?" She choked out, obviously crying. "Debby? I'm here. Are you okay? What happened!?" I said panicking more and more. "Josh they- they hurt me." I sob escaped her mouth. "Where are you?" I was having a full-on panic attack. "I locked myself in the stall." She said. "I'm coming. Stay put." I said and hung up.

I ran, on foot, to the school. It only took my thirty minutes, but I got there. I ran into the school and past all the teachers there. Some tried to stop me but I kept going. I stopped when I got to the restrooms. "Debby?" I called out, not going into the girls. "Josh?" She said excited and relieved. "Debby it's me. Come here." I said. It took a while but Debby came, and when I saw her my heart broke. She was covered in bruises and her tear stained cheeks, with her red puffy eyes. I held my arms out and she hugged me, tightly. "Shh, it's okay, I'm here." I always thought of Debby as my sister. I would protect her, keep her safe from all harms. This, this felt like I failed in being a friend. I failed at keeping my best friend safe. I failed. 

After a few minutes of hugging, a teacher came and took me out. She said 'I was never allowed in this school'. I went back to my school, the day was already over. I went to go get my backpack, when I saw Tyler waiting for me with my backpack by the school doors. "Shit. You didn't have to. You should go home I shouldn't have let you take my stuff and have yo-" i was cut off by Tyler talking. "Josh, it wasn't a problem. I wanted to wait for you. Now," Tyler said handing me my backpack. "Want me to drive you home?" Tyler said. Not matter how much I wanted to resist I couldn't, I was to tired. "Yes please." I sighed.

Tyler dropped me off at my house, we said our goodbyes and I headed inside the house. I went straight to my room and went to sleep. I was exhausted.
