||Mitches POV||
All gym class I had to hide from Mat. While we had to change he saw my torso. I had never seen a more scared face. Lucky the next class was English which meant I got to spend the last class with Jerome.
After what happened with mat I couldn't face him. I told Jerome that my mom needed me so I couldn't come. Jerome seemed sad but he understood.
He bell rang and I grabbed my bag running out of school. I ran home seeing my moms car was gone. Good. She left. I walked into the house seeing smashed beer bottles all over the floor. I started to walk to my room when a bottle was smashed above my head. I gasped running upstairs as quickly as he could. Not quick enough. I bottle smashed against my side. I gasped starting to sob. The fresh cuts that the glass had caused when rubbed with the alcohol that was still in the bottle. I ran to my room falling on the floor locking the door
I slowly stood up hobbling to my bathroom. I looked in the mirror. My face wasn't as bruised. I smiled softly. I grabbed a pair of tweezers throwing off my sweat shirt. Jeromes hoodie was in my bag. I looked at my side wincing.
I started slowly taking out every piece of glass. By the end my face was wet with tears. I sighed wiping my eyes grabbing a few bandages. I put them over my cuts sighing in relief.
I walked into my bedroom flopping on the bed grabbing my phone. I saw a spam of texts from Jerome. Mat told him...
I shut off my phone. They all hated me. I looked out my window seeing the sun going down. Had it really been that long? I grabbed a short sleeve shirt, walking to my window. I placed my foot on the tree branch outside of my window swinging myself up onto my roof. I smiled laying down.
The air was crisp yet comfortable. I smiled hearing my name being called. I sat up seeing a group of teens running down the street. I looked closer seeing the pack. I sighed looking at my. Cuts on my arm. I sighed deeply. Preston was holding Jerome who looked like he was about to collapse. "YEAH?" I called back. Everyone stoped at my voice.
Jerome perked up. "MITCH! MITCH WHERE ARE YOU?!" He called.
I huffed. "ON MY WAY DOWN!" I replied stepping onto the three. I slowly climbed down falling to my feet. "Hey" I smiled looking at the group.
Jerome ran over picking me up. I cried in pain as he touched my fresh cuts. He put me down looking terrified. I bent over feeling familiar hands on my side. It was ember. "Did it smash?" She whispered. I nodded softly. "Let's go hang out with the pack okay? Get you away from here?" She asked I nodded.
She slipped off her hoodie that was far to large for her putting it on me. I smiled as it covered my arms. "Thanks" I whispered. She smiled in return. I looked up to see a heart broken Jerome eyes red and sore. "Jerome I-"
"YOU SCARED ME! YOU TOLD ME YOU YOU TO GI SEE YOUR MOM BUT THEN I HERE YOUR COVERED IN SCARS?!" He yelled. I flinched as he did. Jerome grabbed my arm pulling up my sleeve. He covered his mouth with his hands trying to hold back tears. He dropped my arm walking to Preston.
I backed away from everyone. "I-I'm sorry" I muttered. Rob reached out to touch me but I ran towards the house. Tears streamed down my face like a river in spring.
I threw the door open seeing my angry father holding a broken bottle. I grabbed my hoodie taking it off. He was bright blue, I couldn't ruin it with my blood.
My father smirked slicing my side. I choked back a scream as he hit me over the head with the bottle. Everything when black.
//Time skip: Next day\\
I woke up still on the floor. I was in a pool of my own dried blood my shirt and sweats where now destroyed. I got up seeing pizza on the table. I smiled softly. He had left. Everything ached and I wanted to cry.
I got to my feet moving to the kitchen grabbing a slice of pizza. I took a bite humming at the flavour. I felt it hit my stomach and I didn't gag. I continued to eat until I had finished two slices.
I walked up to my room changing quickly. I wasn't going to school today. I couldn't face the pack. I couldn't
^Vikks POV^ (changing it up!)
I walked into homeroom. I didn't see Mitch at all. Where was he. I pulled out my phone texting the pack group chat letting them know.
Poor Jerome. He told us Mitch was like his best friend. I couldn't imagine loosing Lachlan...but again. There was two sides to that...
I shook the thought out of my head looking back at the chat.
J-Jerome
V-Vikk
L-Lachlan
E-Ember
R-Rob
P-Preston
B-Brandon
M-Mat
F-Faith
V-Nope. He's not in home room.
B-I might skip and try to find him
F-I'll join
E-Me too
J-...this is all my fault...
R-pressy and I are in. Jerome it's not
V-I'm down. Lachlan?
L-already outside.
M-Oh hey Lachlan I see you. I'm against the tree
E-y'all stupid
J-In my way
I put down my phone raising me hand. I asked to grab my headphones which he allowed. I stood up walking to the front on the school seeing everyone waiting. Jerome had bags under his eyes you could tell he didn't sleep. Ember was holding onto this arm talking to him trying to calm him down.
Lachlan and rob where on there phones trying to get a hold of Mitch I presume.
I watched as Brandon tried to calm mat down. I'd never seen him so upset.
Faith walked next to me. "Alright. Lachlan. You got the mini van. Let's go!" She smiled trying to keep the mood light. We all nodded walking towards the van. Ember sat in the front as she knew Mitch's favourite places while the rest of us got in the back.
Our first stop was her house. It took a short time to get there which was nice considering how long we would have to be in the car. She walked in seeing nothing getting back in the car.
We drove by every park, garden, train station, and tree in the area. Nothing.
Ember sighed. "The last place he could be is his house but...I don't think he's going to be there.
We turned walking out. Everyone. We walked around his yard while ember went inside. She wouldn't let us in.
Weird...
