She slapped me.

I slapped her back. "Shut up, let me finish. And then Tyler. Ryan. Adam. Whoa I there are so many." I said. She looked pissed.

"Shut up!" She slapped me once again.

"That's it! Stop!" I looked at Jay who's running to our place. "Can you stop bothering my sister? What did she do to deserve all these?"

"I just love talking about how shitty your sister is," she said. "Why would you defend her? Your sis is not that pretty. She's not good-looking like you. Did your parents adopt her?"

"Shut the fuck up!" Jay yelled.

"Is she? You know. I hate your sister's face. I hate it. She's really annoying. I saw her once with Micah talking and she'a having fun with it. She stole my boyfriend."

"You weren't dating you stupid," said Jo yelling at her.

"Your sis is a bitch, you know. She wants all the attention. Bitch you're just an attention seeker. You wanr everyone's eyes on you. You want them to recognize you. You hate that your brother is popular but you're not. Accept the fact!"

"You know what, Tiff? I'm so sick of you. I'm so sick of all of you! No one has ever defend me! Only my brother and Jo did. Why? You noticed that I got bullied by her. You knew it. When she came up to me and say those mean things about me, you just stood there and watch. Fuck you all."

Jay's POV

"You know what, Tiff? I'm so sick of you. I'm so sick of all of you! No one has ever defend me! Only my brother and Jo did. Why? You noticed that I got bullied by her. You knew it. When she came up to me and say those mean things about me, you just stood there and watch. Fuck you all."

She ran. Hearing those words came out from her mouth, it hurts. This kind of thing never happened to her before. She usually handle her very well, maybe that's what I thought. She always tell me that she's okay with Tiffany bothering her everyday. Saying that she can handle her. I really thought she was okay. What would happened when I graduate? What if someone did the same thing like Tiffany did?

"I swear I'm gonna kill you," said Kevin looking directly at Tiffany's eyes. Kevin. I didn't know he's here. He looked at me for a second and he ran followes by Joanna.

"Hey, Jacob! Tell the teacher, I'm not gonna let this one go," I sais as I ran looking for Kelly.

I started searching from the gym, and then the classrooms. The park. The lab. Everywhere. I couldn't find her. I always thought Kelly was a strong girl. Why? Because I knew that Tiffany always bothers her but she managed to keep a smile everywhere she goes. Her words still repeating in my mind. What she said at the canteen. Now I feel like I'm not a good brother. I should've known this. How could someone be so tough when someone bullies you for a year. Heck I won't be that strong if I were her. I should've known. A year. She bullied her for one fucking year and I didn't noticed how it hurt her? I'm a bad brother. That's it.

"Oh god Kells, where are you-" then I heard someone crying. It came from the janitor's closet. I knocked. "Kells? It's me, Jay."

"Huh?" It stopped. "W-what are y-you doing?" Oh god, Kells. You should've told me how you felt.

"Kells, can you open the door?" I asked her. "Please? Let's talk."

"Hold on," she said.

And then she opened the door. Her eyes. She cried really hard I could tell it from her eyes. I hugged her. And she startes crying again.

"Kells, you should've told me," I said. "I'm sorry. I should've known. I'm really sorry."

"I just... I don't want to have anything to do with.. her. I don't want to.. make any dramas. What happened at the canteen, I didn't want that to... to happen."

"Let's just go home-"

"Kells!" Said someone from behind. Kevin. And Jo of course. "Kells are you okay? We searched everywhere," he said with heavy breathing.

"Kevin, we're going home-"

"No!" She yelled. "I don't want to skip Mrs. Jane's lesson! What if I got A+ and I got a bar of chocolate?"

"I'll buy you hundreds boxes of chocolate, let's just go home," I said. "Tell the teacher she's not feeling well. And if you meet Jacob tell him I'm taking care of Kells."

"Jay, can I come?" Asked Kevin making me look back. "I want to accompany her too." "And I'm not that close to Jo so I'm scared that it'll be awkward without Kelly," he said whispering.

"I heard that!" Said Jo.

"Are you sure? It's your first day," I asked him. Is he really gonna do that? He nodded. I sighed, "fine. Let's go." Wait. "Jo! You need to stay just in case there's any news or homeworks. Take notes for her, okay? Thanks!"

"Of course I will! Don't forget to pay me!" She screamed. And I just showed the "okay" sign with my hand.

Kevin's POV

This happened to her before? For how long? She never mentioned it to me. We never talked about it. Well she did mention there's someone called Tiffany who has a bitchy attitude. But I didn't know that she got bullied by her.

"How long has it been?" I asked Jay. He looked at me from the rearview.

"What I know is she's been bothering her for almost a year. I thought that it's just like 'give me your money' or things like 'stay away from my bf' because she never told me what she said or what she did to her. But I guess it's much worse. I don't even know why people didn't stand up her."

"One year is a pretty long time. It's amazing how she could survive. Why didn't she tell any of us?"

"She said she doesn't want to start any dramas with her. Cause girls doesn't want to get involved with Tiffany," he said as he stoppes the car. "We're here. Can you open the door? I'm gonna carry her."

I got out of the car and opened the front door. And to my surprise my parents and Callie were there, talking with Jay's parents. "Oh, hey guys."

Jay's POV

Great. They're gonna interrogate me like I did some kind of crime. "I'm just gonna head upstairs and-"

"What happened!?" Here we go. "Why did you guys go home so early?"

"Jay, what's wrong with Kelp? Is she sleeping?" Asked Callie looking at Kelly.

"I'm just gonna go upstairs and put her on the bed and let her rest. Then I'll go here and you can ask anything you want.

I walked upstairs while carrying her. "Oh god, Kells. Sorry to say this, I think since I'm walking up, you kinda feel heavy- oh god."

Kelly's POV

"Uh.. what time is this?" I looked at my phone. "It's 4 o'clock!? My math test results!? Did I get A+!?"

Knock knock.

"Kelp, are you awake?" It's Callie. Callie? "Can I come?"

"Callie? Yeah, come in!"

She opened the door and peeked a little bit and smiled. She walked up to me and sit on the bed. Oh my god I've missed her so so much.

"Callie! How are you! I miss you so much," I said hugging her.

"Kelp, I should be the one who asked you that," she said hugging me back. "How are you feeling?"

"I feel good-"

"Don't lie, Kelp," she said. "I know how you feel. You don't feel good. I can see it from your eyes."

"Kelly?? Are you awake? Mom and dad wants to talk to you."

"Yes, Jay. Just give me a second."

"I'll wait downstairs."
