Secrets (Hayes Grier)

Chapter 12 ~ The Bear

~Hayes~

I woke up to a loud banging on my door. I sat up and opened the door. The hallway light was on and I could barely see. "Come on dude were gonna be late!" Said Nash as he ran down back to his room to get ready. I shut my door and got dressed. I got in a dark blue t-shirt with white shorts and white vans. I combed my hair and ran to the bus. I didn't see Emma so I sat with Kyle. We got to school and I ran off the bus to find Emma. I looked at my phone to see if she texted me. When I looked up I saw Alex. "Hey babe" she said with a smile on her face. "Don't call me that." I said. "Why? Aren't we together baby?" She asked. "No. I'm with somebody way more better than you!" I said. Before she could say anything else, Kat came up and dragged her by the pony tail and took her away. I looked at my phone again. But then I looked up to see Emma. She looked different. It was beautiful. I smiled really big. So did she. "You look beautiful baby" I said. She blushed. We started to walk while holding hands. Everybody kept giving us dirty looks, but I didn't care. We sat in the bleachers I front of Preston and his friends. Emma liked one of them. W. I didn't know if she still liked him. But he was with one of her friends Torrie. She was ticked off because Torrie kept rubbing it in her face, and she still is. After that Preston pulled me over while Emma, Torrie, and W went in the band room. "Dude you better keep an eye on Emma." Preston said. "Why?" I asked curiously. "Because, the whole football team is trying to get you guys to break up. There gonna try and touch her! And if they lay a finger on her, you know what will happen." He said. I agreed. I put my arm around her waist as we walked to her locker then mine. The football team kept staring at us. Maybe Preston was right. As we hugged good bye I walked to class and saw Shawn walk in and walk straight towards me. "Hayes you better come now!" He said. "Why?" I asked. "It's Emma." I jumped out of my seat and followed Shawn to we're they were but I didn't see them anywhere I was nervous. After class I finally saw Emma at her locker. She looked terrified. I put my arms around her and she was shaking. When she turned around and saw me she hugged me and started to cry, "Are you okay baby?" I asked. She held her arm and looked at me. I removed her arm from her wrist. There was a deep cut and a bruise. I was officially mad. "Hayes please don't," she pleaded. "Emma they hurt you!" I said. I ran my fingers threw my hair and tried not to run and find them and kill them. I walked her to lunch and there was a crowd with there phones out. Emma looked back at me surprised. I saw Preston pinning and punching the guy that hurt Emma. She was about to go and stop them but I stopped her. Preston ran up to her and hugged her. Then the principle came and took us to the office. Emma didn't look so good. We sat there and Emma explained what had happened. But then she collapsed. I ran to her before her head touched the ground. I shook her trying to make her wake up... But she didn't wake up. The we had to call 911. And we took her to the hospital. I started to cry. And it takes a lot to make me cry, so did Preston. Pic sat up against a wall with my hands on my neck. I was worried sick.
