Somebody to Love

Chapter 2

   I wake with a massive headache and my eyes feeling dry and rough.I go into the bathroom and go into the shower and clean myself being careful not to touch any new bruises.After I'm done showering, I dry myself and out on some lotion and cream for my cuts and bruises.I walk out the restroom and walk over to my wardrobe and out my undergarments on and put on my black hoodie and some black jeans that are slightly baggy and some black converse.Now it's time to walk down the steps without waking my parents. Step by step one by one I take the steps and when I make it down , I lock the door and go into the woods.Sometimes I wonder how it would feel for me to be free into the woods with no one there to bully me.But those thoughts are pushed to the back of my mind as I approach the school building,peaking through the bushes near the entrance I make a dash into the building when I see that the coast is clear.As I go by the gym door,someone grabs my foot and drags me across the floor. Struggling to get free of the grip, I give up and am ready to face my destiny. I am thrown into to the center of the gym and my side starts aching."Well,well,well what do we have here."I could recognize that voice anywhere... classes" I

   "I think that today is also her eighteenth birthday" Damon says than continues, "Am I correct ?” bi-birthday?!? How could I have forgotten my own birthday?

   "Ooh that's sounds great.But things aren't going to change for the better just because you're eighteen." Jacob says mockingly.

   I than realize that they are closer than I thought.As they continue approaching (Damon and Jacob),I instinctively curl myself into a ball covering my head to try and protect it.Than,I'm  kicked so hard I go flying into the far wall and sprawl out on the gym floor.They approach again and hit me numerously and I realize that Jayden isn't there and I feel the pain of my mate with someone else.I can take there blows but knowing that Jayden,my mate is with someone else at a time like thisbisbjust torture. A punch to my ribs and breaksba few of them and than the pain from Jayden wit h someone else subsides and the gym door is opened and Jayden comes in and says ,"Enough." using his alpha tone."We'll finish her later but now, we need to head to class." and with that, he leaves not even glancing at me.After they leave,I crawl my way into the janitors closet before gym starts.I quitly cry to myself as the pain if some bones connecting back together. After a few hours, I have enough strength to get up and go to the bathroom and make sure there's no since of blood or big bruises evident, I limp towards my class.Its fifth period and I stand beside the door "just two more classes"I encourage myself to go in.The while class turn to look at me as I go and take my seat.I catch up on the work I'm supposes to do and get started in the next assignment ignoring the pain in my wrists and fingers. Mrs.Safir calls me up during independent work time ansbi try hard not to make my limp evident in front of the class.

   "Why were you late today?" she asks me.

   "I was busy... I'm sorry." my voice coming out hoarse and I look down and use the wall for support.

   "What happened to your leg?"

   "I hit it against a wall trying to get to your class."

   "Are you sure," she asks concern  lacing her voice.

   "Yes.May I go back in now please,"I ask not making eye contact.She let's me go knowing that there is nothing she can say or do to convolince me to go to the nurses office.After sixth period,History, its time to get to the my last and most dreaded class...gym.Sighing softly, I walk in everyone starts "accidentally" pushing me.

Lindsay and Didi walk by and Lindsay bangs my head against a locker... twice and says,"Oops sorry my hands sort of slipped." and the high-five each other and leave.When everyone leaves the locker room, I quickly change onto uniform but wear some thongs to hide my bruises.As I walk out, I notice that everyone is in the middle standing in a group. I go and stand beside this girl and she and everyone else move back as if I had the plague.
