In Hate, We Love

9. I Am Sorry

Right. Project, find Bellamy Blake and ask him what his fucking deal is, is underway.

This is all very new to me! Never in my life have i purposefully sought out Bellamy! God my hands are sweaty...gross. Im nervous.

The first place i'm going to check is the cafe. He's usually there with his friends. God i feel sick...his friends will probably all be there. I hesitate for a moment but keep going.

Im close now, just around the corner sits the door that will take me to the cafe.

Just as im about to turn into the hall i bump right into someone, neither of us seeing the other.

I stumble back and look up to see John Murphy, Bellamy's little sidekick. Crap.

He's with Jasper and Monty. They're okay...i mean they are friends of Bellamy's aswell but they've never done anything to me. Murphy however-

"Oi! Griffin, look where you're going!" Murphy snaps, stepping towards me threateningly.

"Murphy leave it!" Jasper says quietly and Murphy glares at him.

"Leave it? This little bitch just walked into me! I guess your perfect parents didnt teach you proper manners!"

"Dont you dare talk about my parents!" I cry, refraining from slapping him across the face, images of my dad sat alone in that empty quarantine room imprinted in my mind.

"Sorry i didnt hear that? You dont want me to talk about your mummy and daddy? Are you going to cry?" Murphy laughs evily.

I glare at him then sigh "this is a waste of my time" i say calmly, turning away from him and starting to walk.

Murphy grabs my arm and throws me up against the wall. My head smashes against the metal and my vision blurs for a moment, Murphy's's face blocking everything else out.

"The little bitch thinks she can walk away from me?"

"Murphy-"

"Shut up Monty!"

"Murphy let me go!" I groan dizzily, my arm pinned against the wall, i go to lift my other one but he grabs it and holds it against the wall also, his arms now blocking me off on both sides.

He grins, far too close.

"Let. Me. Go, you scumbag!" I cry, feeling very exposed and uncomfortable. I start to wriggle my arms, trying to push him off but his grip on my wrists is too strong!

Murphy's eyes darken.

"I think this bitch need to be taught a lesson!" Murphy hisses and i hold my breath, my heart racing.

I look pleadingly at Jasper and Monty who both look very nervous and uncomfortable.

"Give it a rest man, its not worth it! Bellamy won't-"

"I dont give a crap what Bellamy will think. He doesnt control me!" Murphy snarls.

There is something else in his voice now, a sort of madness and jealousy.

Murphy moves my right arm and i start to fight him more forcefully, fear taking over.

"Murphy dont-" Monty cries, both him and Jasper stepping foward to pull Murphy away.

It works, Murphy lets go of my arms with a snap but only moves back one step.

Monty and Jasper look momentarily relieved when suddenly Murphy's fist is slamming into my jaw.

My entire body is thrown back into the wall and I keel over sideways.

I see someone running off in a blur.
