My Happy Little Pill

Chapter 2 \\ A Secret Spoken

(^yeah the pic is bad quality but it was the only one i could get cause my phone was being stupid. Sorry)

Jayla's POV

I wake up the next morning with a Thumping headache.....

It takes me a good 10 min to make my way from my warm comfy bed to the kitchen so i could take medicine.

I am so not looking forward to school today.

I then head back to take a quick shower before changing into my dark blue, knee rip skinny jeans with a black top and of course my cropped leather jacket.

I then headed out the door past my mum who is still on the couch and out to my bike to head to school.

***

As soon as i was off my bike and my helmet was off i had people stairing at the cuts on my neck and the black eye on my face.

I should be used to the attention but today was different. I blame my known "friend circle" and the history of violence that surounds it.
I wonder what kind of rumors are gonna go around today?......

Maybe im dating and abusive gang leader or my parents are horrible to me or maybe even a drug deal gone wrong... who knows. Its just a load of rubbish that stupid gossips come up with to pass the time.

***

By the end of 1st period i had heard the weirdest crap...
For example one was about me getting into a fight with and angry mexican over tacos and pizza and he beat me with a pan because i was favoring pizza. The best part is i dont really eat pizza that much. Like, if its the only thing there sure but if i can avoid it i will.

I mean in 6th grade a kid had pizza in his lunch and knew i hated it so they put it in my draw at my desk and i didnt see it till a week later when it began to stink out the class... oh the horror.

"Oi Jay wait up!"

I heard from behind so i stopped and turned only to see Lee (levi) jogging towards me.

One look at his face and i already knew what he wanted to ask.

"So I've been hearing so strange things about you today" duh!! Stupid idoit!!!

"Oh have you now.... care to share your oh so in depth knowledge about myself?" I questioned with a smug look and a raised eyebrow.

"Well one girl said you liked it rough and your boyfriend went a bit far.... then i thought that couldnt possibly be true, due to the amount of time you've turned me down so i wanted to ask you myself... what the hell happed to you yesterday?!"

"WHAT!!! some people are so stupid! Like really i haven't dated anyone since year 6 and were graduating this year. I mean come on that's what, 6 years now. And i don't think it really counts as a propper relationship."

I literally want to kill who ever said that. Everyone knows i dont date. Espcially after my history.

"I know! But you still havent answered my question Jayla?" He pointed out and i went stiff.... what the hell am i suposed to say?!
Wait... he call me Jayla again!

" Lee im gonna say this one more time dont. call. me. That. Its just Jay" i then went to turn and leave but he managed to grab my arm to pull me back and then because my arm was still in pain from yesterday i let out a small yelp and flinched away.

When Lee realised why i suddenly flinched i saw his eyes darken dangerously.

"Jay... im gonna ask this one more time.... who. Did. This. To. You." He replied matching the tone i had used on him seconds before.

I think he notised my panicked expression caue he backed off before repeating himself in a more calm manner.

"Jay. I know we've had our differences. But if someone's hurting you, you need to tell me now or so help me i will barge into the principles office and report, what whatever this is." He said gesturing to my eye and arm.

"Ok. But not here. Meet me out in the parking lot after school when most people have left ok." I replied in a blank manner.

Seaming satisfied with my responce he simply nodded before walking away with clenched fists and a tight jaw.

Lee Hunter... you'll be the death of me.....

***

As soon as my last class ended i made sure to take my time. Not only to avoid Lee but so that less people were still in the school.

Less people means less likely to be overheard.

As i rounded the corner to the back of the school i saw Lee anxiously pacing back a forth as he waited for me.

It wasn't until i was super close that he stopped and saw me walk up to him.

"Explain Jay" he said with a slight harshness to his voice.

"Ok but promise me one thing" I said shyly. Dammit what the hell is wrong with me!!

"What?" He snapped

"That you will let me finish explaining before you talk and you wont tell anyone!"

"Fine" was all he said before i began....

"Well. Yesterday after school i came home and my mum was high and drunk. As I walked in the door she had thrown something at the door which then of course hit me. I then fell backwards and down the porch we have have, smashing my face on the ground. It was a complete accident and has only happened a few times so its nothing to worry about really..." i trailed of before finally have the courage to look up from the floor and to his face.

As i looked up at him i saw his once tense jaw relax and his face morph into one of concern.

"Jay why..... why is your mum like that?" He spoke so softly that the gravity of his words didnt hit straight away.

Thats when i realised how close we were standing and how his hands were holding my cheeks so i would look him in they eye. Thats when i realised my walls had gone down and that was something i wasnt ready to cope with yet.

I quickly tore myself from his grip and stepped back. However, due to my head injures I became dizzy and as i went to fall to the ground, a pair of strong arms grabbed me to steady my feet.

"Woah Jay. Im sorry i shouldn't have asked such a personal question. I get it, i really do." For a moment i was in shock...

Levi Hunter just apologized to me......
So i just stood there letting him hold me as i looked up to his face. Levi Hunter you really are something else....
