Let Love Bleed Red

Chapter 10

*Eoghan’s P.O.V.*

Stevie balled up his fist and aimed a punch at me, but I was ready and I ducked. Anger was showing in his eyes, his face grim. He lunged at me and I side stepped him, then punched his stomach. Hard.

He doubled over and I kicked his privates. He groaned and fell to the ground. All the jocks that were sitting at the table jumped up and ran for me. They tackled me to the ground and I couldn’t get them off. Five or six heavy jocks aren’t easy to push off your small enough body, even if you do work out. Sometimes. Rarely,

They were punching me and kicking me. I was struggling to get away, not because it hurt too much or whatever, but because I wanted to get back to Stevie.   

I managed to squirm my way out of the mass of guys on top of me with not too many injuries, but my lip was bleeding pretty heavily because my snakebites had ripped out. Damn.. I went over to Stevie, who had got up by this time and punched him again, over and over.

We were both rolling around on the ground, kicking and punching each other.

“YOU FUCKING BASTARD. YOU ASSHOLE. YOU MANWHORE. YOU DON’T JUST GO AROUND STABBING INNOCENT GIRLS, MUCH LESS MY GIRLFRIEND, YOU FUCKING JERK.” I screamed in his face as I punched him. I grabbed his head and slammed it off the ground, screaming insults and abuse.

His friends were trying to pull me off him and he was fighting back, punching my stomach but I barely felt any of it in my rage. I didn’t hear everything go quiet and barely noticed that Stevie had stopped fighting. I continued to beat him up though until I felt two sets of strong hands pull me off him and the principals’ deep voice.

“You two, office. Now.” Stevies’ face was covered in blood, probably from his broken nose and he looked dizzy from me continually hitting his head off the ground. We trailed to the office in silence.

In his office, the principal droned on about behaviour, and beating up an innocent student , causing such an uproar, and it only being my second day at the school, blah blah blah. I didn’t listen much, I just wondered when he was going to shut up and I could go back to Ash.

“I have no choice but to suspend you Eoghan..” That caught my attention. My parents were going to kill me, and be really disappointed. They might understand though.. They were good when Casey was hurt by her ex-boyfriend because she wouldn’t sleep with him. And how different is my girlfriend getting hurt?

“I’ll call your parents, Eoghan, and they can come pick you up. Now both of you please leave. You should go to the nurse and get seen to. And those.. lip studs? Maybe you shouldn’t wear them if you’re going to be fighting, which I hope you aren’t.” He sighed and we left.

Outside the office I leaned in to Stevie and whispered to him.

“Don’t you ever touch Ash again.” I punched him one last time for good measure. “That one was because I don’t like you” he moaned a bit and I walked away, out the front doors.

I walked/ran to the hospital, needing to see Ash. I ran in and went up to her room. I opened the door and went in.

“Ash, sweetie?”

The bed was made and her things were gone.

Ash wasn’t there.
