Layers of Insecurities

Chapter 5

Dante P.o.v

Lunch came I decided that I should let the girls get out of class first, as they disappear from my view I started to walk out of the classroom. In an instant girls started screaming and pushing each other surrounding us, I mentally sigh and began to walk towards the cafeteria. I never was the one to enjoy girls begging me and asking me out on dates but I have to admit having these kind of power can really shows those who is the real men around, I heard quite a few people mentioned about my looks and that I was by far the best looking man In the school, along with my gangs, we are well built I was the tallest of them all I am 6'2 I have a pitched black slick back hair, blue eyes, well built and lean body, my skin tone was a little tan, followed by Grey he has blonde hair brown eyes and very pale skin and a muscular body he is the most mature in our group usually thinks things throughout before he acts, Rick he has brown hair and black eyes and he is very built despite his looks he is very patient and soft hearted and then there is Louise he is the leanest one in our group he can be considered as the kid of the group usually come up the stupidest ideas anyone could imagine. 

Half way near the school cafeteria my mind wander about how hungry my little Tulips is going to be, she must have been starving. I quickly walked to the cafeteria and made my way inside I kind of gotten use to girls swarming around me, but today it annoys me since I want to see my Tulips face, to my surprise all she ate was cookies and juices which make her look like an adorable little girl, I guess all of the commotion have stopped her from reading which gains her attention to what was happening. I quickly go to my place and sat down, as I was doing so I noticed the girls were looking at our direction I looked directly to my little Tulips my eyes met hers, she blushed and looked away.

My eyes were on her as she continue to read her book while munching on the cookie, she looked like a little soft rabbit,  which makes me want to go and hug her, wait no no no stop! be cool. Soon three young boys sat next to her, not going to lie it made me jealous I wish I could sit next to her, she didn't pay attention to them but as soon as she saw them she tensed and dropped her book and started to shake visibly, her breathing stopped, she looked pale I knew something was up, her best friend seems notice and said something and dragged her out of the cafeteria while two other girls followed her. oh no this is bad as soon as they left I said " hey girls, why don't anyone of you go and buy me some juices, first one here gets a kiss" they all ran and left, I quickly ran outside to see what was going on, unaware that the boys were following me too since I was not my usual self, the scene outside was terrifying.

My little Tulip was curled up in a ball while her best friend was hugging her, she was crying silently and her eyes are starting to go unfocused, but what I heard next did not prepare me for this "hey Rosy look at me, they are gone, that is not real, you are safe they won't do that to you ever again, calm down, I am here" her best friend whisper to her, my heart sank who would have hurt her this way to make her traumatized like this? anger was all I felt the guys behind seems have understood the scene and stand back while telling me to not do any I would regret. My little Tulips then seems to calm down and tried to get up but as soon as she did she faints without a second thought I rushed by her side to stop her head from hitting the floor. " what's wrong with her !" I shouted, I was furious and demanded answer, her best friend was crying while explaining "she is having a flashback to what have been done to her in the past, it was never this bad till the point she faints, help her" I knew it.  As I scooped her in a bridal style, I realized that she was very light under those baggy clothes was skin and bone, no this is not right as I rushed her to the nurses office, while telling Lina to inform her parents as she did,  so I laid her down on the bed. The nurse checked on her and ask what happened and I said that she pass out from a past event that happen, the nurses then told me that her body is very weak since she didn't have any proper nutrients in her. 

A few minutes pass and the principle came in and checked what was going on and her best friend have request to take a break to help her friend and the principle nodded in understanding while I also request the same thing, which shocked everyone in the room. My friends never see this side of me before because I don't care about girls so this is a first for them. Her parents soon arrived, and lord what fate is this her parents were the ever famous self made billionaire ? no wonder she looked so familiar, my parents and hers are best friend, no wonder her face remind me of someone. They are the well known couple the one and only Mr and Ms Alexander they didn't seems to noticed that I was there since they are worried about their little girl, they were rushing her to the hospital, I offered to help and carry her to their car . I rode the car with them and Lina, Tulips head was resting on my laps while he feet in on Lina, I stroke her hair gently while my finger trace the scar on her temple. Ms. Alexander looked back to check up on Tulip and she saw me and exclaim "oh my gosh, hi there Riamond long time no see, how's your parent?" we talked for a bit,  I never looked away from my Tulip " thank you for helping my baby" she said as she gave me a small smile with teary eyes Mr. Alexander was busy driving. "no problem Ms. Alexander I was wondering Ms. Alexander what happen to Tulip? how come she became like this, 5 years ago she was a ray of sunshine, what happen to her?" her eyes well up with tears and Lina cuts in " I will tell him Ms. Alexander ".

So she began to tell me how it all started and why she have these traumatic fear of fishes. after hearing the story I became furious and wanted to hunt those girls down but Lina told me they have kicked out of school " you see my Rose never told us about she have been through at school, when we ask her did something happen at school, she always put up a smile and said that school was the happiest place for her" Ms. Alexander explained while crying,  Lina was also crying, because seeing your best friend In that situation and couldn't help was heart wrenching . 

We arrived at the hospital while the doctors were checking up on Tulips Mr.alexander came and patted me on my shoulder he said" thank you , for saving her my little girl have suffered so much thats why she never made any public appearances, I have to ask you for a favor" I nodded and listen " please looked after my little girl in school, don't let any harm come to her" so of course I said yes. 

And that is a promise.
