Chapter 10 

"What?" Carla mumbled angrily. She frowned her eyebrows and ripped her wrist from Alexis's hand. "Just taking care of some business." She said fake smiling and acting totally calm. She's crazy! I tried to mind contact Alexis but I guess it didn't work because she didn't look at me. She just replied to Carla.

"You call this taking care of business?" She pointed to me. Her eyes widened with the same cold glare as Carla.

"Oh would you calm down?" She waved it off as nothing trying to get her to go away.

"If you touch her again ..." She moved between Carla and I. My nose was still bleeding and my eye sight was still blurry, but I kinda felt safe with her shielding me.

"You'll what?" She remarked sarcastically arms crossed.

Alexis step forward closely "I'll beat the shit out of you, and don't think I won't cause I will."

 She left Carla speechless. She even flexed her arm as if to see muscle .Alexis didn't have muscle but you could tell she was stronger than Carla. I almost had the urge to laugh. Just looking at Alexis trying to flex was pretty funny. At the same time however, I felt safer with her beating up Carla than at home with Ashley.

Then she turned to me, barely standing the wall my only support. My blood trickled down my throat making it itchy. I was too lazy to wipe it off my chin feeling faint.

She grabbed me by the waist "Tilt your head back." She ordered, and I listened tilting my head back.

I felt everyones' eyes on us, but I couldn't care less. She led me down a hall and I heard a door opening.

From the looks of it it was the bathroom. She led me by the counter finally letting go which made me tumble but she caught me last minute.

"Can you not stand?" She blew out a frustrated breath."I...I can't." I slurred. My hand reached up and touched my eye then my mouth, feeling the bruises.

Suddenly I felt her grab my waist and lift me on to the counter effortlessly. I rested my back against the mirror, legs spread out.

The room filled with silence only the sound of the faucet was keeping me occupied.

Finally the faucet shut off and a wet towel was placed under my nose, I winced.

"Sorry." Alexis said sympathetically as she came closer to clean my injury.

I watched her with careful eyes as she slowly dabbed it trying not to hurt me, I smiled at the gesture. She didn't notice since she was to busy helping me though.

"Done." She said climbing off the counter. I no longer tasted blood. I also climbed off the counter body numb.

I looked in the mirror my face was all cleaned up, like it never happened. I touched my nose and instantly regretted it.It stung inside my nostrils with a burning sensation.

"Try not to touch it for sometime okay, I think it might be bruised but not broken." I nodded.

"You sure did take a blow, damn she has a fist. She almost knocked you out." She smiled trying to ease the situation.

I shook my head."I'm light weight, so a little damage could do a lot..." I tried to explain, face burning up as I rubbed my neck uncomfortably.

She ignored me and pursed her lips and stared at my clothes. Feeling conscious I looked down to see my shirt with with blotchy spots of blood. "Crap." I muttered frantically as I went to wash it out by the sink, but Alexis grabbed my arm.

"Its no use, blood  stains almost never get off here." She shrugged off her jacket and put it on me, warmth taking over my body.

"Thank you." I said relieved admiring myself in the mirror. Her black jacket was a little too big for me but it was comfy and it smelled of some sort expensive perfume.

She turned around and made a move to leave. "Wait," I said. "So you're not mad at me?" I asked curiously wanting to ask this in the longest time. She stop dead in her tracks and turned around.

"Laila, I was never mad. It's between you and my brother and I don't want to get sucked into this. I hope you can understand." She said leaving me alone in the bathroom hanging on every word she said.

        *  *  *  *  *  *  *

 After Alexis left the bathroom I washed my face a couple of times making sure not to touch my nose. I would need to make an appointed meant to check it out. I went outside and people were still staring at me. I hated the attention. I hugged Alexis's jacket alittle tighter acting like a shield to protect me from all these people.

 I missed two whole periods and I had to come up with some lame excuse to why I was late and the teacher gave me detention. Saying my excuse wasn't "good" enough and some shit.

Finally lunch came and I was relieved. My crappy day at school was almost over. Home won't be much better though I realized sighing.

I opened my locker and and looked in the tiny mirror in it mentally cringing.

 My face was red partially, my nose and eyes were bloodshot red, and all my makeup was gone and my hair was a mess. I closed my locker  not really caring how I look. My days already sucked so I didn't need to care of my looks, as I headed to the cafeteria.

The halls were empty signaling that all the students were in lunch. My eye caught something on the side.

Of course, it was Austin trying to open his locker. He banged on it and throwing a few curse words here and there.

'It's now or never.' I thought as my legs carried me to him while my mind whispered uncertainties.

My hands started to sweat as I walked closer and closer. I wiped my hands on my jacket and tapped on Austin's shoulder. I cleared my throat and croaked out "Hey."

He turned around quickly at the sound of my voice. Surprise was written on his face then was quickly replaced by anger and hurt. He and walked away, making sure to bump into my shoulder and show me how much it hurt.

It must've hurt a lot. Guilt clenched inside of me and I called out to him trying to make this all right. Trying to make everything all right.

"Hey! Wait up!" I said loudly while going after him.

Austin abruptly spun on his heel and turned to face me. "What do you want?"

I just looked at him for a while before replying, "I just wanted to talk to you! What's your problem?"

His nose started to flare as soon as those words left my mouth. "What's my problem? Are you kidding me!"

I looked at him confused and then I finally realized what he was hinting on. The date. Oh shit, I forgot about that. But he'd probably forgive me, right? I mean, he is my best friend.

Or was....

"I can't believe you stood me up! I was there for hours waiting for you! You made me look like a fool!"  he hissed. "And you have the nerve to come up to me and ask what my problem is? Don't you get it I don't want to talk to you!"

I looked at him with a shocked expression on my face. I was not expecting that, but i should have. I mean, he is Austin Summers after all. "Listen, I can explain! Ashley made me-"

"I'm tired of you using Ashley as an excuse!" he was now yelling at me and the students in the hallway were now looking our way. "I know what she does, you just need to stand up for yourslef for once! I'm tired of your shit, Laila." He shook his head trying to cool off. "Just leave me alone" he muttered.

I watched him walk away and closed my eyes knowing a part of me agreed with him.

Did that really just happen?
