Mistakes ||Sequel to Party||

40

Leondre's POV:
A few days have passed and now it's finally weekend. I skipped school for the rest of the week since both my mum and Charlie thought that I should stay home and rest, and I didn't exactly say no to that.
Today it's our anniversary and Charlie told me yesterday that he has a big surprise for me. I'm really excited actually.

Currently I'm at the mall, trying to find something to buy to Charlie. What he has done for me is totally priceless and I can never thank him enough for that, but I thought it would be nice to at least get something small.
I walk through the stores, I'm going to meet up with Harvey in a few minutes. I walk into the gaming store because Charlie and computer games are like the perfect match. He has some special relation to them.

Maybe I should buy him a new game? Or... Maybe not. I mean, I know that he would be happy for it, but in anniversary gift...? I think not.
Maybe a ring? Or a necklace? Clothes? Matching bracelets? A card? Money? A letter? A poem? Ugh, I have no idea!

Last year I wrote him a poem, and bought him chocolate and roses. Cliché, I know, but I'm pretty sure he appreciated it. I just don't want to give him the same thing again.

I walk around in the store, looking at the new games, games I have, games that I'm planning to buy, games that have really bad ratings. Suddenly I hear some familiar voices a few shelves back. I stick out my head and look down the room to get met by a pair of eyes which I recognize too well. I quickly wince back and hurry down the shelves to hide somewhere. I decide to stay close to the cash register in case they will try something.

"Hey, guys. I think I saw a familiar face over there." I hear Kurt yell.
"It's just your mind tricking you." Frank replies, brushing it off, but Kurt doesn't give up. He starts walking through the store to the place where he saw me. And when he arrives and notices that I'm not there, he frowns slightly and start to slowly walk back to the gang. I slowly walk backwards, trying to keep hiding, but as clumsy as I am, I just have to walk into one of the shelves and make a few games fall out (boy) and land on the floor.
Kurt hurries up to the shelf and meet my panicked face as I pick up the video games and place them back into the shelf.

I give him a pleading face and mouth 'please don't', but he doesn't seem to have much sympathy for me so he just smirks and call over to the others.
"Guys, look what I found." He shouts over to them, catching their interest. I feel how my heart is starting to pound. My breath gets caught in my throat. It doesn't take many seconds before the whole gang stands in front of me. But then I notice that there's two missing; Noel and Lenny. I turn around and see them standing there.

"I told you I saw a familiar face." Kurt smirks. Frank starts to walk closer to me.
"What are you doing here all on your own, Gayries?" He asks, tilting his head while an evil grin is playing on his face.
"I- Uhh..." I stutter, trying to think of something to say, but my brain has stopped working.
"I thought we had taught you a lesson? Guess we have to do it again then." Frank replies and just the seconds as they leave his mouth, I feel some pair of hands grabbing my arms.

Suddenly I hear footsteps and an unfamiliar voice behind me.
"What are you doing?" A man voice asks.
Frank looks up at the person behind me and I slowly turn my head too. I see the guy from behind the cash register.
"We are just playing around a bit." Frank answers as I feel the grips around my arms loose a little bit.
"Well, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." The guy says and I see a smirk appear on Frank's face.

Frank nods to the guy and we all walk out of the store. As soon as the door closes, the gang presses me up against the brick wall.
Frank hits me across the face with his fist. Then again. And again. I'm kinda used to the pain by now.
"You're such a disgusting little freak, Gayries!" He tells me.
I already know that though.

"Hey! What the hell is going on?" I suddenly hear a familiar voice yell. I look up and see Harvey running up to us.
"Is this your little friend?" Frank asks, grabbing my collar harshly. His face turn angry and he stares into my eyes. "Have you told him about us?!"

Frank pushes me against the wall several times before Harvey reaches us.
"You're going to pay for this!" He hisses, pushing me against the wall, making the back of my head hit it. Then they start to run off as fast as they can. But Harvey is faster. He catches up with Frank and pushes him against the wall.
"Leave him the fuck alone!" Harvey snaps, placing his fist in the middle of Frank's face before letting him go.

Frank runs off in the mall while Harvey turns back around and walks up to me. I sink down on the floor, leaning my back against the wall, breathing heavily.
"Are you okay?" He asks, sitting down next to me. I nod slowly, forcing myself to hold back the tears. I can't cry. Not again.
