Hidden

Chapter 13

EDITED
I guess I got my wish. I haven't even seen Eric since our argument on Monday and it is now Friday. He hasn't turned up to any of the tutoring sessions we are supposed to have and he hasn't even turned up to any of the lessons we have together.

I know I was the one who asked for space and it does sound kind of pathetic but I really miss him and I don't just mean like I miss him like you miss the hot guy you see every so often I mean I miss him like when you have to wait for the next season of your favourite TV show to come out.

For some people that is not a big deal but for me, that is my life! I'm in a very committed relationship with the television.

The bell sounds signalling lunch time. People shoot out of the room in front of me including the teacher. I decide to wait behind until I'm alone.

As I stand from the chair the pain is unbearable. I haven't exactly been looking after myself lately and the heats not helping.

I take a few deep breathes to compose myself before I walk to my locker. Even thought it is only a few lockers down from the class room door it feels as if it is miles away.

Every time I take a step the pain that shoots up my leg  is like I'm being stabbed and set on fire.

By the time I reach my locker I can feel the sweat that has formed on my face. Normally I have some high dosage pain meds and anti inflammatories for this kind of pain but Zekie keeps them for me. I know that sounds really bad considering how old I am but I always lose them and I can't afford to replace them so Zekie is my best bet.

The only problem is he ditched school to spend the whole weekend with April in their family cabin where she is recovering from surgery.

I have some more of the drugs at home but I have no idea how I'm supposed to get there.

Just as I turn from my locker I'm confronted by a sight I really don't need. Tia and her full squadron of sluts.

"There you are. Been hiding from someone?"

"No" my voice is strained due to the pain.

What I just said was also a complete lie which didn't help. The truth is I've been hiding from everyone. I can't do it at home so I've been hiding at school.

"Well you see we have a little problem" she smirks evilly "I tried to tell you nicely but you just won't listen"

SMACK. The force causes me to stumble backwards. The pain in my leg shoots up a notch if that was even possible. The pressure on it from the stumbling causing tears to form in my eyes.

"Oh look the little bitch is crying" Tia makes an obviously fake sad face causing her minions to laugh "I TOLD YOU TO KEEP YOUR HANDS OF ERIC YOU BITCH"

I don't have the energy to fight back. The next thing I know she has grabbed my hair and is swinging me round to face her. The added sudden movement is a step to far and things go black momentarily.

As I'm coming to I can hear mumbles in the background.

"Holy shit Tia we better get out of here before someone sees us"

"Yeah lets go" followed by the sound of heels walking away.

Slowly I sit up but even that speed was too fast. I make it to one of the bins just in time before I empty the contents of my stomach.

Propping myself up against a locker I wish I could die. The pain is unbearable. I'm dripping with sweat. All I can taste is vomit and there is nothing I can do to stop it.
