Seasons

Chapter 19

My nerves were shaking the entire way to school. I sat in the passenger seat of Jinyoung's car just shaking. He could tell I was freaking out a little bit about it but he tried his best to soothe me, yet the butterflies were still there. They weren't fluffy, soft butterflies, they were rotten dead ones. I felt the urge to vomit but I kept it down. I want to trust Jinyoung and the boys, they say I’ll get through it, that they are on my side, I just want it to be over. I don’t want to be in their longer than I need to be.

He parked the car and I didn’t want to get out, everyone in the school has seen me over social media, I feel wrong, hurt, utterly embarrassed. My door opened and Jinyoung held out his hand, I accepted it and slowly stood out of the car. Immediately I felt all eyes on me, I was being whispered about, laughed at, and pointed to, I wanted to get back in the car but Jinyoung made me stay. Seconds later the other boys showed up getting dirty looks and shocked expressions from everyone around us. The school was turning on them and it’s all my fault.

I threw my hood up but Jinyoung quickly put it down and fixed my hair. “Stand up straight.” He spoke. I didn’t want to fight him so I did it. He fixed my hair and lifted my chin up with his fingers and planted a soft kiss on my lips. I heard some people gasp and a few low growls coming from the boys next to me. Jinyoung glared at them. “Don’t do anything extreme, we are here to solve this, not make more issues.” He snapped at them. They all nodded and I put my head back down. “Chin up, don’t let these pests bring you down. You’re beautiful, brave, and no one will tear you down.” Jinyoung looked deep into my eyes. “If they mess with you they mess with me, and them.”

I nodded my head and he slipped his hand into mine while we started walking towards the school. The other boys walked around us, to protect us, to protect me. Any times they would catch someone staring or whispering they would throw deadly glares at them and they would stop and go about their business, it was like having bodyguards. Girls were both jealous and terrified while the guys practically ran after they made eye contact with them. I felt safe but at the same time, embarrassed.

We made it to the office and the police and principal were already waiting for us, along with Jennie and her gang. They only let me and Jinyoung back in the office and other boys waiting outside, I was terrified what was going to happen to me. They will probably make up little lies and get me in trouble, that’s how it always goes, and then I would get beat up again. Jinyoung rubs my back as I take my seat, here goes nothing.

* BamBam point of view*

Alright, so me and the guys weren't allowed to go back there, only JInyoung, April, and those bitches. So, I think it’s about time the entire school knows my thoughts. I dragged out a chair into the hall and stood up on it before shouting. “Attentiooooon Everyone!” The boys looked at me with wide eyes but didn’t drag me down. The hallway got quiet with a few whispers here and there, now is my chance. “I’m sure, you are all VERY aware what is going on right now. Anyone who wants to act innocent and stupid and talk to me personally because I swear to god I will-” Jackson tugged on my leg. Maybe I shouldn’t finish that, continuing on. “I’m sure you are all aware of what a certain someone did to another student here at this school and I would like to announce how screwed up it really is.” People stared at me with blank expressions. “Everyone of you that seen it, shared it, and didn’t report it makes you just as bad as the individual who took the pictures.” The room got quiet, not even a whisper was heard. “The victim was humiliated, beaten almost to death and was conflicted about too many emotions after seeing how many of you shitheads shared and retweeted her exposed body. You are in the wrong, you are no better than her, in fact, I might classify you as below her.”

“Maybe she should have killed herself then!” Some guy yelled from the crowd. I was about to jump off the chair but Mark has beaten me to it. He grabbed his collar and pushed him down before Jackson stood up in a chair too.
