You're mine and I'm yours

- Hah! What a f***ing loser! Ezra tried to stand up from the punch to his stomach but felt like throwing up. Robin and his friends had dragged him to a spot at school where no one could see them and they had enjoyed kicking his ass for some while now. They wouldn't usually fight him like this, but today it seemed like Robin was in a bad mood so he wanted to inflict his emotions on something. And the perfect target was of course, Ezra. After having his heart broken the day before he didn't have the will to fight back so he just went with it.

- Just look at you! You're so pathetic that you have to get help from a girl! But now that she's not here, we can do whatever we want with you! Robin's evil grin made Ezra angry. The only reason Sophia wasn't there to save him was because she had a meeting with some girl's club. Ezra didn't want to bother her so he silently accepted his fate.

- You're so weak, it's almost like you enjoy being punched and kicked! Well, everyone know you're weird so it wouldn't be a surprise, Brian said grinning his ugly yellow teeth. These three was really persistant. They wouldn't stop mid fight. Robin walked up to Ezra and grabbed his black locks.

- I don't get how people like you, you're so ugly, specially your eyes, they're freaky, bet that's why your mom didn't want you! Robin wasn't afraid of going over the line. He would hit you where it hurt the most.

- Bet his dad's happy he's in prison, then he doesn't need to look at your disgusting face! Connor said and Robin placed a hard punch right in his face. Ezra was boiling. They had no right to say all of that, they had no idea!

For another five minutes he had to take punches and kicks to his face and body. They even made his nose bleed. After they were done they left him lying there on the concrete. He tried to get up, but he was in so much pain, he couldn't. He just laied there for a minute before he got enough strength to pull himself up. He immidietly went to the bathroom, to clean up his red nose and bleeding. He had an open wound on his lip and it hurt very bad when he touched it.

He wanted to make them stop, he wanted to kick their asses instead,and not be...weak! But he had no fighting in him, the first and last time he had tried to fight back didn't go so well, so he had just given up. He knew he couldn't go on like this. One day they would go over the line and break something. He would end up in the hospital and not being able to see Sophia at school again... Then he wouldn't have to see his mom drinking everyday when he came home from school... And he wouldn't get beaten again, hopefully... Which made him not hate the though of them sending him to the hosptial. The only downside was no Sophia. Hopefully she would come to visit. He shook his head, he didn't want to think about it. He cleaned up the blood, and went to class, the teacher looked at him, but didn't say anything. Teachers didn't like to be involved in drama, or bullying. They pretended it didn't happen, that way their life would be easier.

On his way out he was jump scared by Sophia. She jumped out from some bushes by the school gates. She was smiling teasingly until she saw his face.

- What happened to you? she asked with empathy.

- The usual...

- I'm so sorry, Ezra! I really am! I was talking with some friends and then time just flew away! I promise to be there next time!

- You don't need to...

- But-

- I can defend myself! He shouted a little too loud. Sophia looked at him in shock. He had never raised his voice to her before.

- S-sorry... Then they just stood there, looking at the ground until Sophia spoke up.

- Umh, wanna come over? We have a first aid kit at home... Ezra just nodded and Sophia smiled at him before taking his hand and leading him, even though he knew the way.

- At Sophia's house -

- Ouch! Ezra squealed as Sophia cleaned his wounds on his face. Sophia had found the first aid kit and Ezra sat on a chair in the kitchen while Sophia used bandaid to cover his scars.

- Does it still hurt? she asked.

- Yeah... He shivered in agony as she plastered the last bandaid on his cheek.

- There, all done! Now don't take them off until the wounds have fully grown.

- Which is? Ezra asked while stroking the bandaid on his forehead. Sophia put everything back in the little first aid kit and placed it on a shelf.

- I don't know, a week or something. Ezra sighted. He felt uncomfortable with all the bandaids on him.

- Wait here, I'll go get some pain killers from my parent's bed room.

- Umh, ok... Sophia smiled at him before jogging up the stairs. Suddenly Ezra jumped to the sound of the front door opening and footsteps came from the entry way.
