Looking up I was shocked when my eyes met grey ones. I didn't speak, there was nothing I could say when the person who made fun of me stood looking down at me with a frown.

" why are you crying " his eyes looked over me like he was searching for something.

Looking at him cautiously I stood up with my back still against the lockers. Wiping the tears away and brushing the imaginary dirt off I narrow my eyes slightly.

" why do you care " I snap

He looked taken back by my tone of attitude, while looking down rubbing the back of his head.

" I just heard someone crying-" he cut his self of taking a deep breathe " never mind "

My face soften a little looking at jack, but I didn't know why he was acting concerned about me. And I didn't know if I could trust him when all he did was make jokes about me in front of his friends.

" I'm fine jack just leave me alone and stop acting like you care " I say defeatedly

Taking a step closer making me push myself even more into the locker looking at him cautiously he stops taking a step back.

" I- " he cuts himself short sighing, looking at me with a sad expression before walking off down the hall. Looking over his shoulder and shaking his head, he disappears around the corner out of my sight.

A confused look was attached to my face, why did jack act like he cared? I mean he makes fun of me all the time and even though Its harmless jokes, he's also joined in to laugh at my pain.

It confused me like hell trying to figure him out, jack caring about me. I scoff out loud thinking about him actually having feelings.

Just like jack and the rest of the student body have been picking on me since middle school all because of josh. He started rumors about me, he was the one who told everyone about my parents. And everyone joined in they didn't care if I cried or if my feelings were hurt, so jack shouldn't care now.

Gathering up the rest of my energy I slowly made my way out the back doors of the school. My body groaned in protest, making me bit my lip to keep from screaming out the pain.

By this rate I will make it home by time the sunsets. My arm is wrapped around my stomach as I exit out the door heading towards parking lot of the school. Dragging my feet down the concrete side walk I mange to gain a little speed.

My cheeks still stung and I could only imagine the angry red mark occupying my cheek right now.

" Millie ? " turning to my right I see a silver car screech to a stop. Standing up a little straight trying not to wince from the pain, I let out a relieved sigh only seeing it was Jessie.

Trying to give her a smile, it only came out as a grimace making me hold the side of my cheek.

" oh my god Millie what happen " putting her car in park, Jessie rushes out the car slamming her door not caring that she basically blocking everyone's way.

Her grey eyes holds concern as she looks at me searching for anymore bruises. " your cheek " she gasps holding a hand over her mouth.

Reaching out she slowly turns my head to examine my cheek " who did this " she whispers.

Lightly running her fingers over my cheek I still mange to wince at the contact.
