Silence. || Baysha - [Bayley + Sasha Banks]

silence. | chapter three

September 22nd | 6:34 A.M | Sasha Banks

I no longer took the bus instead, my parents bought me a car and I drive that to school now. I eat breakfast and say goodbye to my parents. I grab the keys to my car and head out.

I pushed the doors open allowing the warm weather to consume me as it were snowing outside. I saw Bayley sitting on the ground with her head in her hands. I rush over to her and hold her head up. Her eyes were bloodshot red and her face was bright red. There was a bruise on her right cheek and I hear some laughing. I turn around to see Aj, Carmella and Peyton standing behind me.

They've been bullying her since middle school.

"You guys need to grow up," I say helping Bayley up off the ground.

"Yeah, help your girlfriend. She doesn't even thank you for helping her. You both are losers," Carmella spat as I turned around to face her dropping my backpack off my shoulder in a swift move.

I stand in her face not a muscle in my face moved. I stare at her knowing my anger could take her out in less than ten minutes. "If I were you, I wouldn't try me." I said and she scoffed and walked away.

"You want to go to the nurse's office?" I asked her and she looks at me horrified.

"Okay, I take that as a no. C'mon - let's get to class." I say holding on to her arm. We walked up the stairs and down the hall to out classroom. We both had history. The bell had yet to ring but, I sat down anyway. I wiped her tears away and when she looked at me, my heart shattered.

I sigh and bite my bottom lip to keep from crying. I've known her since middle school. We were eleven now, at sixteen years old nothing has changed. I failed to get any information from her. She just got worse.

Everyone told me that I should give up on her. I can't do it. I have to find out why. The bell rung and I sit down. The lesson ended quickly and so did school altogether. I took care of Bayley as if she were my sister. I'd hate to see something bad happen to her.

School ended and I see Bayley walking toward the bus. I stretch my hand out for her to take. She hesitates. I instead grab her hand and walked her to my car.

"I'll take you home today.." I say opening the door for her. She got in and I go on the driver's side getting into the car.

I drove her home in silence. With only the sounds of the radio singing lowly, I wondered what could be going on in her head.

I parked the car stepping out. She was already at the doorstep. I smiled when she looked back.

"Hey Bayley, how are you sweetie?" A woman who I assume is her mother asked kissing her forehead and I smile as the woman looked at me.

"Hi, I'm Bayley's friend. Can I talk to you for a moment?" I asked as Bayley went up the stairs.

"Um, sure okay." Her mother says opening the door wider and allowing me inside. She motions to me that I can take a seat. I take the offer.

"Um, can I offer you something to drink?" She asked and I nod my head no. "Okay, so what questions?" She asked and I exhaled before looking at her.

"Why doesn't Bayley speak?" I asked her and she looks at me with a sad face and down at her hands.

"I don't know." She replies looking up from her hands and into my face and confusion flushed over my face quickly.

You don't know why your daughter doesn't speak?

"You don't know?" I repeat to be sure I was hearing correctly. "W-what do you mean you don't know?" I asked her and she looked out of the window and back at me.

"Bayley was adopted." She says and I feel my heart skip a beat. I glance up and see Bayley sitting on the stairs. I grabbed my stuff, said my goodbyes and walked out of the door.

She was adopted? What happened?
