Saved by My Mate (BxB)

Chapter 8

        I got thrown down on the ground and looked up, David, James, and Brendan were standing in front of me. "So, is it true, that you're gay?" James asked smirking, this was not gonna end well, I stood up and looked at them, they all looked like they wanted an answer. "Yes." I said quietly, they all looked slightly shocked at my answer, "So, now you're a weak, pathetic, gay piece of shit." David said stepping closer to me, I started to back up but Brendan grabbed me and held my arms behind me, I tried to pull away but David's fist connected to the side on my jaw and I stopped. I could taste blood now, "And since you and Tyler got in a fight, now there's no one to help you." James said, then he punched me in my stomach, and I doubled over in pain. He was right tho, I had no one. Brendan let me fall to the ground, then I started getting kicked, punched, and stomped on, over and over. I was spitting out blood every time I got hit in the stomach, and was in more pain then I thought possible, after a while they stopped and left me there, bleeding, coughing up blood, and unable to move from the pain I was in. I tried to move but screamed in pain when I did, my ribs felt like they were broken, I laid there crying, holding my side, hoping someone would find me. After what felt like hours, my ribs started to feel like they were healing, "Mason? Where the hell are you?" Josh asked through mind link, "Outside, back door, can't move." I answered, using most of my energy to do so. I heard the door open but I didn't look, "Holy shit! Mason, what happened?" Josh yelled, he ran over into my view and knelt beside me, his eyes were wide and he looked worried, "What happened?" He asked breathless, "I have a guess." Tyler growled, I jumped at the sound of his voice and yelped.

        Tyler carefully picked me up, and slowed down when a whimpered. "I'm gonna take him to the hospital." Tyler said over his shoulder as he walked to the parking lot. He gently put me in the passenger seat, then got in and started driving. "Tell me what happened." Tyler said calmly, I looked down, "After I left the class room you were in they grabbed me and dragged me outside, and they asked if me being gay was true, so I said yes. Then Brendan grabbed me and held my arms behind me and David punched me, and he... said that since I had no one to come save me, that they had as long as they needed, then they all just..." I stopped, I could see Tyler was shaking, and a low growl escaped his lips, "What exactly did he say, about you not having someone to save you?" He asked after a second, I hesitated, "Uh, James said, 'Since you and Tyler got in a fight, there's no one to help you' then he punched me." I said slowly, watching Tyler, his eyes were black, and to my surprise, he was starting to cry. "I'm so sorry Mason, this is my fault, I shouldn't have told you to leave, I should have stayed with you." He said sounding upset, I shook my head, "It's not your fault. You didn't know they were gonna try something, and you shouldn't have to stay with me so you can protect me, I should be able to do that myself." I said calmly, Tyler shook his head, but didn't say anything else. When we got to the hospital Tyler carried me in, and we had to wait about an hour, before someone came to look at me. I got x-rayed first, then the nurse started to run her finger over my ribs, making me yelp. "Well, the results for the x-rays with take a couple minutes, but your ribs are definitely bruised, I'd suggest taking it easy." She said, then took us back out to the waiting room.

        "That's it, I'm so sick of them pushing me around, I'm tired of being looked at as weak and pathetic!" I yelled, then I got up and stormed out of the hospital. "Mason! Where the hell do you think you're going?" Tyler yelled grabbing my arm, I pulled away, "To the gym." I said and kept walking, "You're gonna go to the gym? You might have broken ribs and you're gonna go to the gym?" He yelled, "Yep." I said as I kept walking, he grabbed my wrist and I turned to look at him, "Fine, but at least let me drive you." He said, giving up on trying to stop me, I nodded and fallowed him to his car, we got in and he started driving. He parked in front of the gym and I got out of the car, and walked in, I was surprised that it was empty but I didn't care. I looked around then walked over to were the weights were, I started with light ones, since my side was still hurting. I did 20 reps with each arm, for every weight, after I had done all the hand weights I went to the bench and started lifting again. I stopped once my arms got sore and decided to run on the treadmill, I didn't even bother starting slow, I ran for an equivalent on 5.6 miles before I had to stop. I was tired and sore, my side was burning and I needed a drink, but I didn't stop, I was going to build up my strength. I started doing sit ups, then crunches, "Mason, maybe you should take a break." Tyler said as he walked over, I shook my head, "No, not yet." I said without stopping, I could tell Tyler was worried, but I didn't care anymore. After a while I started doing push ups, then switched to pull ups. I was tired and sore and I knew that Tyler was right, that I should take a break, but I just kept going. "Mason. Stop, it's midnight now and you need to go home." Tyler said grabbing my arm, I nodded and fallowed him outside to his car.
