To Be Loved

Chapter 3

~Tanner's POV~

I push my dark hair out of my eyes, looking in the mirror. Another day of school, meaning another day of Josie and Keith and pain.

Then my aunt snapped me out of my thoughts, calling me from downstairs. "Honey? Are you ready for school yet?"

"Uhh yeah! Be down in a sec!" I slipped on my worn leather jacket and grabbed my backpack, than ran down the stairs to my aunt. She smiled and grabbed the car keys.

"Bye Aunt Megan" I told her, kissing her cheek. "Bye Tanner! Have a good day!" she replied smiling. I faked smiled and closed the door, ready to cross the court yard to the school. School, a place were physical and emotional pain meet.

"Hey goth nerd! You all smoochy with your aunt now?" a voice called. I just ignored them and got to the doors.

I almost pulled open the doors when they slammed shut again. "Hey! I'm talking to you goth nerd." Keith snarled. "What do you want Keith?" I mumbled.

He threw back his head and laughed, his golden hair flying back with him. When he was done he looked me straight in the eye, blue eyes meeting brown.

"You really want to know nerd? Well you hid from me yesterday so I have to give you a double beating for avoiding me." He told me. I shrinked back a little, trying to make myself smaller to avoid his grasp. As usual, I failed to do so.

He grapsed one of my arms, moving his arm back to punch me. I closed my eyes feeling his fist go across my cheek. Hot searing pain flooded my right cheek.

Tears flooded into my eyes but I tried holding them back. If Keith saw he would just punch harder. He sent more punches to my face and stomach, not stopping in between each one. Soon he let go and pushed me to the ground laughing.

"There goth nerd. Remember that was only the first round. I will be back for you" Keith told me snickering. He laughed again and him and his buddies took off into the school building.

Slowly I got up from the ground and put up the hood of my jacket then made my way into the school to my first class of the day, P.E.

Through out the day I made it through my classes, but at lunch I couldn't keep my eyes open much longer. I grabbed my lunch tray and tried to make it to my corner but I slipped and hit the marble floor of the cafeteria.

My vision went blurry then, the last thing I remembered was a girl running towards me yelling for me to stay awake.

~Alesa's POV~

"So what's the other rules of highschool, oh smart one?" I asked Trina sarcasticly.

"Stay alive and stay in your own group." she replied, poking her spinach. "What do they put in this stuff?" 

Laughing I pulled out my phone and texted Macyn. "So what's another rule?" I asked again.

Trina mumbled "Don't trust the school food no matter.....OH MY GOSH!" Snapping my head up, I looked at Trina. "What?!" I replied startled.

Trina's eyes were wide as she stared behind me and then she pointed. I quickly spun around in my seat just to see a boy on the floor, food splattered around him and his eyes barely open. Jumping from my seat I ran to him, Trina at my heels. I yelled at him to stay awake but his eyes just closed.

"TRINA CALL 911! NOW!" I ordered her.

As quickly as possible, she pulled her phone out and called 911. Everyone in the cafeteria stared while I pulled his head into my lap, trying to see of he was bleeding. No one came to help and no teachers were ever in the lunch room.

He had dark black curls that covered his face a little and blood was oozing down the side of his face. There was also a huge bruise across his right cheek and then some more down his jawline.

"What happened to you?" I whispered. Then a booming laugh came across the cafeteria. Me and Trina snapped our heads in Keith's direction.

"What a loser! He had it coming!" he said laughing. His buddies were laughing as well, trying to be like their leader.

Trina got up and marched over to Keith, her face red. "What was that Keith?" she growled.

Keith just laughed harder, "The loser had it coming! Why do you think no one is helping him?!"

A second later Keith was punched to the ground, the whole cafeteria silent again. 911 arived just as Trina came back to me and the boy.

They put him on a stretcher with a breathing mask and we followed him out the door, not caring about the rest of school. Just about the boy we barely knew.
