Secrets Can Kill.

Chapter 4 - Unwanted Help

What the hell was he thinking coming to 'help' me like that? Did he have any idea that he just stirred the crap more? I was so annoyed my hands shook when I thought about it. Of course, Shane decided to tell the rest of the group about his little encounter which meant I had a LOT more to put up with. I hated being bullied but there was absolutely nothing I could do about it now. Did Eli even notice that I was doing like ten times the amount of homework I was supposed to be doing? I was at it for hours for goodness sake!

The next Monday well before school started Shane came up to me and I handed him his homework for the weekend. I then gave Rob his homework and Callum his too. That morning, when I looked in the mirror I noticed that I looked terrible. There were bags under my eyes and my hair was thrown in a messy bun. I wore sweats to school because I needed to cover the bruises I had accumulated from those freaking bullies. I had to start being more secretive though since Eli's locker was so close to mine, I couldnt have him finding out that it was still happening.

The worst possible thing happened a couple of weeks later. I had forgotten Rob's homework in my room. My stomach clenched in fear for the meeting we were going to have sometime that day. I couldnt concentrate in class and I knew my grades were slipping. I was in a state of panic after school. I shakily put my books in my locker and turned around to see Rob facing me.

"Do you know I got a detention for not having my homework today? Huh?" I muttered to me as he grabbed my hair and hit my head of the locker. I squeezed my eyes shut as the pain became overbearable. I would not waste tears on him. I slumped to the ground as my head hit off the locker again and I fell into unconciousness, just before seeing Eli run and beat the crap out of Rob.

"No..." I whispered and blacked out.

 I woke up Eli's bed and my head was pounding. Oh, crap. No. No. No. No. I was literally going to be killed for this. They're going to so think I told Eli about what was happening. I walked downstairs shakily and found Eli on the couch.

"Where's Dad?" I whipered croakily as Eli whipped his head around, his eyes full of concern.

"Gone on the work trip remember. He wont be back till tomorrow night." He said.

My head pounded as I pretty much collapsed on the couch beside Eli. I lay my head down and fell asleep, as I felt my body was exhausted.

The next thing I knew I was all of Eli's friends in the sitting room with serious looks on their faces.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked as I sat up straight.

"We are taking them down. Go up to your room Capri, they're gonna be here any minute." Eli said angrily

"WHO are gonna be here? Oh, no." I asked shaking

"Go." Eli said as we heard a car door slam and I froze.

"No. You guys are not getting yourselves into this. It is my problem." I said angrily.

"Caprice please dont. Just let us hand-" I cut him off as a ran to the front door and walked outside.

"Get out of here." I said angrily as I heard Eli and the huge group of guys, who were all well-built and pretty tall come towards me. The group of five bullies came forward and I could see that they were outnumbered by Eli's friends. Eli pushed me behind him, and thats when the fight started.
