My Neighbor's Best Friend

Chapter 7

Tuesday
Ruby POV

Well I guess I have to face the fact that I need to go to school. I got ready and went to grab my bag to leave. I went to get some breakfast at McDonald's and went to school. I got down and saw Chloe getting out of her car as well. I went inside the school to put my books in my locker and she came up to me.

"How are you holding up."She says.

"I'm fine."

"You sure."

"Yeah."I said closing my locker and walking to first period.

"Look I should have sent this to you yesterday but I didn't because I thought the guys sent this to you but I guess not since you haven't said anything about it."Chloe says.

"What is it."I say suspicious.

She gave me her phone and I saw the photo of Ben tied up to a chair.

"What the hell, the guys went too far."I said.

"Oh there's more, wait until you see the video and it's a good thing so Ben knows not to mess with you anymore."

I then scrolled right and clicked on the video.

"I,Ben Mendoza, will leave Ruby alone and will never talk to her again because if I do, I will get beaten up by Matthew,Ethan,and Cameron. Ruby if you are watching this, I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt you like that and the other girls that I hurt because of how stupid I am. I'll never talk to you and ever make eye contact with you. I'll stop coming to your house. I really am sorry Ruby."Ben said crying.

"Oh my god, you do realize he will still come back because that's how he is."I said.

"Don't worry they let him go and if he does come back, the guys have it covered."She said.

The bell rings and we went to first period.

Chloe sat down and started texting like always. She was so into whatever she was looking at.

"Hey, Matthew and Ethan said that they saw two guys fighting Ben after they left."Chloe said.

"That's weird,poor those guys. I wonder who they were,Ben strong and he can beat up anybody expect for Cameron,Matthew,and Ethan."I said.

We saw Caleb and Logan come into class with sunglasses. I looked at Chloe and back at them. Yup there high for sure. Mr.Cavazos walked in,gave us the assignment and let us use are phones. The guys kept turning around and staring at us. Chloe sent me text even though she was right next to me.

Chloe-The guys are weirding me out but I don't want to say anything.
Me-Don't worry I got this.

I looked up and they were still staring.

"Okay what's your guys problem, can you please stop staring at us."I said sounding like a bitch.

"I guess your boyfriend didn't tell you."Logan said turning around.

"What boyfriend??"

"The boy that we saw at Burger King, remember."Caleb said.

Then I thought for a minute, Oh No.

"What did he do."I said.

They turned back at us and took off their glasses.

"Oh My God."Chloe and I said.

They had bruises on their eyes and nose. Caleb then lifted up his shirt and jackets. There were bruises all over his chest and stomach. Logan had the same but had more on his back. I started to tear up a bit but then I realized something, when I get home I'm going to visit my bestest friend Ben.( Hope you heard my sarcasm)

Sorry for a short chapter but enjoy 😊🤗
