Run Away

Chapter three

Alice
I woke up in the nurse office, I don't even remember making it in the room. I thought I fell and was still outside. I tried to sit up but I was still in a lot of pain, I couldn't move. I started to tear up, something I couldn't do in front of them.

I looked around the room to see if the nurse was in the room to give me Advil or something. But instead I saw Ethan. What else did he want? I don't think that he knows that I'm up. He hasn't moved or said a word for a while. I need to wipe away the tears, he can't see me being weak if he does it will be worse tomorrow. I tried to sit up again I needed Advil.

When I tried to sit up it hurt so bad I actually cried out in pain. Now he really did know I was up. I can't let him see me crying I can't have a worse beating tomorrow. He just looked over at me for a bit and didn't say a word. I was confused on why he wasn't saying anything.

"Alice you okay?"

Is that even a question to ask right now I can't even sit up without hurting, don't think that's fine. Is he dumb?

"No Ethan I'm not okay, do I look okay? All because you and your friends decided it was okay to do this everyday. How would you like it if someone did this to you everyday?"

He seemed surprised that I stood up for myself. I thought that he was going to get angry at me and do something, but he literally just chuckled. Like are you good? He did not really just chuckle at that. Was he laughing because he thought that my pain was funny? He really is an asshole isn't he?

"Okay you know what Ethan I am so sick of you, you pretend to be this hero and make your friends stop hurting me and then you pretend to care that I'm hurt. But it was all probably a show right? To make it seem like you were trying to help me. But in the end they all listen to you, so who's fault is it really that I'm hurt?"

He looked even more shocked than before, now I'm really going to get it why couldn't I just keep my mouth shut. There must be something honestly wrong with me.

"Alice I don't control them like you are trying to say and for your information the reason why you get this everyday is because you are nothing like the rest of us. Everyone here at least try's to fit in but not you, you make it your life's mission to stand out. So I mean you can go ahead and blame me all you want, but in the end I don't make you act the way you do. Oh and by the way I am trying to help you, who do you think helped you into here when you were unconscious on the floor? You can think of me as a bad person all you want I don't care."

I didn't even know what to say to that. I mean was he really going to blame me for everything that has happened. I didn't make these people hurt me everyday that's for sure. Who does he really think he is, but I am surprised that he helped me into the nurse office. I'm so glad that someone found me and actually did the right thing but why did it have to be him?

"Well thanks Jackson for bringing me in here, I guess that you aren't the worse guy. But you can't blame your so called friends beating me up everyday on me. You were the one who started it and now it feels like you are trying to put a reason on it. I'm sorry for yelling at you, I was wrong."

I knew that I wasn't wrong but I had to tell him what he wanted to hear. I had the right to yell at him, he's been an asshole to me. I haven't even done anything to him and his friends. He just smiled and got up. He went towards where the nurse might be. He's still not leaving?

"I'm going to go and get the nurse so that your back won't hurt anymore, be right back."

What's his game? He's not a nice person, I need to get to the bottom of this. Maybe I should just play along? He came back with the nurse.

"Hey honey do you remember what happened?"

I hadn't actually came up with a story yet. So I had to lie, again.

"I can't remember what happened, I must have hit my head too hard."

She gave me a apologetic look, and passed me some Advil and a cup of water. I downed it like nothing, and just sat there. I looked over at Ethan we made dead eye contact since he was already staring at me. Then the nurse started to talk to me.

"I have to make some phone calls it's going to take a while. So when you feel like you can walk again Ethan is going to walk you to class, okay?"

I just shook my head, I had no words I wanted him to just leave already. I laid down and closed my eyes. I started to drift off, but I could feel him staring at me, I decided on just keeping my eyes closed.

He must have thought I was asleep, he came up to me and kissed my forehead.

"Night Alison."

I heard him sit down, then I thought night Ethan. What's going on with me?
