Broken

Chapter 22

"Dude!" I yelled as I noticed River pushed Nathan roughly resulting in him to stumble and fall down. It was barely 6th period and today we didn't have to stay after school since coaches cancelled today's after school practice. He's been stressed out for varies reasons that he didn't notice what I did. It pisses me off how River would take advantage of the newbies by pushing them around. River is somewhat in charge of being a mentor while coach sorts out some of his problems out. Me and this other Quaterback in training are working togehter in talking about certain plays. you could never be sure if one quaterback will get injured so we always help out eachother.

"It's not my fault he can't handle!" he retorted back. I lost my temper and I gave him a shove and he lost his balance and fell. I was already mad though but River was really ticking me off in result leading me to explode and give him a rough shove. Especially since this whole practice he kept arguing with Nathan.I already had things in my mind and having him pick on nathan and some other guys just got to me. It's obvious River feels threatened so bring others down is his way of saying 'Back off my spotlight'  Typical. Just typical like how My Real dad had called me and talked to me casual as if nothing happened. I thought I felt nothing but anger boiled inside of me that I told him to leave me and my mom alone. I didn't want him contacting her or even trying to reach her. She was literally hurting from his abandoning but got over when she met Lucas. That basturd has the nerve to try to walk back into our lives. What the hell does he even want! I shook my head and looked at a very unpleasant River.

"What the hell," he roared standing back up.

"It's not my fault you can't handle," I spit out. It was already the end of six period so I went to the showers.

"Hey Brandon would you give Zoella her Bracelet back," Matthew  blurted out as he gave me her Bracelet.  I looked at him and just seeing him bugged me. That and the way he said it. What got me off track was that it really was her bracelet. Why does he have it? I noticed he had a scratch mark on his arm and shoulder.

"What happened to your arm?" I asked curiously. For some reason the image of Zoella scared popped into mind. Come to think about it why was Zoella Scared. It's as if something happened since there in her eyes struck the emotion I rarely see in her... fear.

" Rough sex," he bluntly stated without a care. I walked away since Zoella was going to met me up outside the school. I entered the showers and took a long relaxing shower. I really needed to cool off before I see Zoella and just think things through. After what felt like an hour but really was just twenty minutes  I changed into my clothes and put my shoes on in a rush. I grabbed my sports bag and walked outside. I exited the school and noticed River talking to Zoella. She looked upset and pushed River. He clenched his fist and Zoella started yelling at him.

"Fucken be a man and protect her!" she yelled. I approached them and noticed just how pist River was. He better control that anger and not bark back at my girl. Zoella can be moody but it's always for a reason.

"Shut the fuck up already it's not my fault so fuck off-"

"Watch how your talking to my girlfriend, " I growled.

"Then tell her to f-" He never got a chance to finish what he was going to say when I punched him. He fell to the floor and held his jaw. Basturd deserved it!

"Brandon let's just leave him. I need to talk to Riley," Zoella commented. She  acted calm but I knew she was pist.

"Babe tell me what happened." She groaned in frustration after trying to call Riley and looked at me. I've never seen her so worked up over something before. It's kinda hot seeing her like this.

"Riley got hit by River's ex girlfriend and he was watching the whole thing and even joking about the fight. The only thing is It was Riley against Three. I tried to help but Rebecca pulled me back and wouldn't let go. Even Tessa got involved to help out and all I could do was watch.  Riley was taken to the principles office and its complete bullshit and River is a no good for nothing piece of-" I kissed her before she rambled on. I found myself getting lost in the kiss. I loved that feeling I got with her.  I pulled away and caressed her lip with my thumb.
