aurora
It was a week until i was able to utter a word to my best friends. although the situation from those words being said were not a good one. it was thursday morning and grayson continued his newly daily routine of walking me to my locker and calc. he told me it was because he likes seeing me in the morning but i knew the truth of him being there to distract me from reality.
however it was normal when i put in the combination of my locker to retrieve the items needed for the beginning of the day. grayson admiring my actions with a faint smile and i try not to let a simper play onto my lips as well when he does this. the tranquility of none of us talking making me feel at ease in a way to hope for a better day, today. that was until the sudden change of the atmosphere where david pushes grayson out of the way and slamming my locker that makes me jump.
"you're such a fucking slut, aurora." he spits out his words with pure harshness and intent to be malicious with his tone of voice. deep down i knew what he meant by his words but i still gaped at him in shock. "when were you going to tell me, huh? or did you just plan on keeping grayson your little secret forever?" he screams causing the glances from others that filled the hallway.
"hey, you need to calm down." grayson chimes in pushing him away from the close contact between david and i.
"and you need to shut the fuck up, grayson. before i beat the shit out of you for fucking with my girl." he fights back to shove him back and grasps my arm in a tightened form to purposely hurt me.
"now you're coming with me."
"david, stop. you're hurting me." my voice is full of terror with the way his eyes are filled with such rage and loathing images of me.
"get you're fucking hands off of her, david." grayson yells shoving him back but he still grips onto my arm but harder causing me to wince.
"what are you going to do about it?" david questions in a way of evil and a small, smug smirk on his face.
"what do you even want, david? who told you?" i ask in plea and stepping in front of grayson knowing he would hit him at any moment.
"madeline and vivian may be your best friends but whatever the fuck you did to them must of really got them pissed when they told me." he says with a look of disgust. my heart drops and immediately my eyes water at the cruel thought of them doing this to me.
"david, just listen to me, okay-" i try to plea while he then grips me harder. i know there will be a mark there soon.
"no, aurora! you're such a whore. feeding me these lies how much you love me and meanwhile you're fucking him behind my back." he screams making each word burn my skin. "but don't worry, aurora. i really hope he's treating you better than i did because i can do so much better than the disgusting slut you are." from this moment everything seemed slowed down. from the fist of grayson hitting david square in his jaw. when he let go of my arm and fell to the floor causing grayson to continue to pound his hands into the shape of his face.
my screams filling the hallway, along with the crowd that formed around us. within seconds having ethan push through the people and pull his brother off the boy who's words stabbed every part of my bones with contentment. the splatters of blood on the floor and jack pulling me to the side and into to his chest as my breath became shorter and harder to take.
i spent the rest of my morning in to main office with ethan who sat beside me with a comforting hand on mine to try to calm down my silent tears and whimpers of what went down. i intended not to try anymore today for putting on an act. this was until the two distant figures of them walked past the glass windows. this causes me to jump up and open the door with such anger and tap on the girl with fiery hair.
