Chapter 8 - Obnoxious Oliver

I went to look for Dom. He wasn't anywhere to be seen. "That's weird..." I thought. Suddenly, you heard coughing and laughter from around the corner. It was behind the shed. Only smokers go there and the bullies...Should you risk it? It's the only place you haven't checked. But you could get your butt kicked. Ugh...Fine! Just pray to God that you don't get hurt.

You turned the corner. Sure the bullies and smokers were there but...So was Dom. Now. Dom wasn't smoking or anything...He was against the wall being punched by a guy. You remember him. Oh god....

It's your ex. You hoped you wouldn't see him again or talk to him. But he was hurting one of your friends.

"Hey, stop it Oliver!" Your ex looked at you and immediatly stopped laughing. He gave you a stern look and walked up to you as he threw Dom to the ground. Dom looked up at you as he bled from his nose and mouth. He gave you the, what-the-hell-are-you-doing look. Then Oliver spoke.

"Go away, [yourname]"

But you stood your ground, "No. I won't leave until you let Dom go!" Oliver laughed at you,

"And what are you going to do? Punch me?" You weren't particularly the strongest....But it seems that self defence is your only resort. Unless you somehow persuade him to stop by using something that doesn't involve physically hurting Oliver. You looked at him for quite some time. You thought back to when you were with Oliver and when he was the nicest person you've ever met. What happened to that Oliver?

You began to cry. To this, Oliver wasn't sure how to respond. But he looked at you, concerned and asked quitely, "...Whats wrong?" He still cared about you. Which shock you.

"Wh-what happened...What happened to the other Oliver I knew?" He was taken back,

"...What do you mean?"

"The Oliver who would help me and care about me when no one else would. The Oliver who stuck up for me when I was in a bad situation. The Oliver who I use to love." You look up to him, wiping your tears away, "The Oliver I use to be friends with." you continued, "...What happened to him?"

Oliver wasn't sure what to say. He just looked at you. After a moment, he looked back at Dom then back at you.

"...Sorry. He's long gone." he tried not to cry, "...Long gone." Oliver sighed and nodded at his commrades, "Let him go. Where going." Their comrades looked at him with disgust but obliged and followed Oliver as he walked away. Leaving you and Dom.

"Dom!" You ran towards him and helped him up. He stopped bleeding but he was still covered in it.

"I-I'm fine...I'll just say that I got hit by a basketball...No biggie." He told you, in order to reassure you. You nodded and helped him as you both headed to sick bay. Dom immediatly got batched up as you sat outside of the room, waiting. The nurse came out and said, "You may see him now." You quickly got up and headed in. Dom sat up on the bed. The middle of his face had a bandaged wrapped around it, as to cover his nose. He had a cut on his lip but it was fine enough not to be covered by a bandage. You sighed in relief and hugged him.

"I'm so glad you're fine!"

"Y-yeah..." he put an arm around you and pulled you closer to him, "thanks, [yourname]."

You let go of the hug, "No problem....You think you'll be able to make it home?" He nodded.

"Yeah. I'll be fine. Don't worry. Though it'd be a good idea to tell the others."

"Will do..." You headed towards the door and then looked at him once more, "See you around." Then you left and went off to lessons.
