Chapter 14

Jace's pov
(Two week time skip)

"He shouldn't have don't that. Or at least he could have called you the next day and explained." Shane said

"Yah, but it's whatever. I have you now Bright eyes." I said giving Shane a soft nuggy

"Shauna!" One of the boys yelled

"Ugh! It's Shane! You know that." He yelled back

"Whatever yah gender bender. Who's this your girlfriend?" He asked

"My boyfriend actually." Shane said

"Your boyfriend had tits." Brandon pointed out

"So do you." Shane said

Brandon jumped forward to slap Shane. I just in front of it. I closed my eyes and felt a sting on my cheek.

"J-Jace." Shane said softly touching my cheek

I turned around to Brandon who threw another punch at me. I felt a strong pain in my side. I lifted my arm and punched him square in the face. He groaned in pain. I aimed another punch hitting him in the stomach. He threw another punch which I dodged and kneed him in the back of the knees. He fell but quickly got back up throwing another punch which I blocked.

"You're such a fockin idiot." I said my irish accent thicker than normal

He threw another punch and hit my cheek. I elbowed him in the side. Brandon went to throw another punch but I dodged it again and fell to the floor. I took my foot and stuck it out swinging it to knock him over. He fell to the ground and was winded. Shane ran over and gently hugger me.

"Thank you so much, puppy! Are you okay?" He asked

"Yah, I'm fine." I said spitting out some blood

"Jace, are you okay!?!" Amy yelled

"I'm fine. I used to get into all kinds of fights back home." I said remembering my old school

"Jace Pierce!" A teacher yelled walking over. "What the hell happened here?!"

"Brandon was being an asshole. He t'rew a punch at Shane but I stepped in front of it. It was self defense." I stated my accent still a little thick

"I'm calling your parents. You're not in trouble but you are hurt and badly bruised. Shane may leave with you today." The teacher said smiling

"T'anks." I said walking to the office with her

Once we wee out into the hallway she spoke again.

"may I ask what started the fight?" Mrs.Jollymore asked

"He was being transphobic. Calling Shane, Shauna. Saying I had boobs. Just being an asshole." I explained

"I will have to have a serious talk with him. How are the plans for the GSA?" She asked

"Good. We plan to have one next Thursday." I said

"Nice to hear. You've fought hard for this." She said smiling and opening the office door. "Is will call yoir father's to come pick you two up. Is there one of them you want me to call or does it matter?" She asked

"Could you call Sean please?" I asked

"Of corse." She said smiling

She picked up the phone and dialed the number. She's basically memorized it by now because stuff like this has happened a lot since I came out as Trans.

"Hello Sean. This is Mrs.Jollymore calling again." She paused for a second. "Just another fight." Another short pause. "No. Nothing sereious. Just a few bruises and a little bleeding." She giggled after dad said something. "Yah, out cold." She paused to look at me for a second. "Alright. They're in the office. I'll ask them." She covered the speaker with her hand. "Your father wants to know what you two want from tims?" She asked giggling a little (idk if they have Tim hortons in the US but I don't really care. I'm putting Tims in there)

"Just ask him if he can grab energy drinks from the drug store please." I said

She asked him and nodded her head towards me. "Yah, I'll send them up to get their things and they'll be down here when you're ready." She said "Bye Sean." She said hanging up the phone

Shane and I walked up stairs to get our things. I started to notice a lot of pain in my side but figured it was just a forming bruise. It didn't bother me a whole lot anyway, Mike had done worse. I grabbed my stuff and then Shane and I walked down to the lobby where Sean was standing. He handed us our energy drinks as we walked out.

"Don't tell Mark." He said simply

"Why?" Shane asked

"Mark doesn't like me having energy drinks." I explained

"I still think if we told him about that time I caught you doing weed he'd be fine with the energy drinks." Sean said

"Or he'd just fucking murder me." I told him

"Maybe. Speaking of, do you need to do anything like that before we head home. As much as I hated it I picked you up a new vape." Sean said

Sean really hates the fact that I smoke but I also haven't been cutting nearly as much so as long as he buys it he'll allow me.

"Yah, if we could stop for a few that would be nice." I said smiling at him

We pulled over and Shane and I jumped out. Sean passed me the Vape he bought me and I flicked it on. After Shane and I had taken a couple of puffs we hopped back into the car and Sean drive us home. Mark looked really worried when we walked in.

"Are you okay?" He asked hugging me really tightly

"M-Mark, easy." I said getting mad at myself for showing that u was in pain

"Are you okay?" Sean asked cocking his head to the side a little

"Yah, it's just a bruise." I said

"May I look?" Mark asked

"Sure I guess."

Mark lifted up my shirt and my said was bloody and bruised. He looked a little closer.

"We have to take him to the hospital." Mark said

"No, no we don't I'm fine." I said wincing as Mark touched my side

"Jace, you have a knife blade in your side. How is the pain not killing you?" Sean asked

"It just doesn't." I said

"I'm gonna call 911. See what they tel me to do." Mark said grabbing his phone

Fuck that really does hurt. I lifted my shirt and began pulling out the blade. Fuck this hurts. It's gonna bleed like a bitch too. I pulled the blade the rest of the way out, grabbed an old towel and pressed it into my side. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I can't cry! I haven't cried from pain since I was five and I'm not gonna start again now. I'm not a fucking pussy!

"It's okay to cry, baby boy. It's not a bad thing." Sean said seamingly reading my mind

I began to feel faint. My chest felt heavy. It was getting getting hard to keep my eyes open.

"Jace, don't go to sleep. Please. Come on puppy, just a few more minutes." Shane said holding my hand

I felt my eyes close and my breathing slow. Everything went black. I heard Sean yelling but I couldn't heat what he was saying. I heard noise and felt myself being moved onto a cold surface. I heard Shanes voice. It sounded distant but I could hear him.

"Come on Babe. Don't die on me now. Please. There's so much I haven't gotten a chance to know about you. I'm starting testostrone next month. I want you to see that. I want to see the day you start. Don't leave now. When things are starting to look up." I felt a tear fall on my cheek

"You have to let go. We have to load him and there's only room for one person." Someone said

"Don't...leave...me." Was all I could get out

I heard shuffling and then sirens. Shane was still holding my hand. Then I drifted off. I didn't hear anything after that. Just white noise.
