Breakdown || Linkin Park

Chapter 12

Alexis:

I was just coming out of maths with Mike and Chester when I saw Kayla Hawthorne, Taylor Robinson and Kimberly Watkins standing in front of Lin saying something.

Lin stood with her back to the wall and held her books firmly against her chest while her eyes were on the floor.

"Hey!" I shouted and accelerated my pace.

"Fuck off. She's with us."

"You better fuck off, Bourdon. Or I'll show you the way." Kayla said.

I pushed her on her shoulders against the wall next to Lin.

"Don't you threaten me, stupid. I am not only mentally but also physically much superior to you." I hissed pissed.

"That's my girl." Chester said.

I could formally imagine his grin.

Mike had gone to Lin and now held her in his arms.

"Stay away from my friends." I pushed her one last time.

"Let's go, guys." I said.

I took Chester's hand. Mike took Lin's hand.

"Where were you?" Dave asked us. "And where are Brad and Rob?"

""I just had to fix a bitch." I said while I put my tray down.

"Ohhhh. Let me guess, you messed with Kayla again?" Joe said with a grin.

"You know me so well, Joey." I replied also with a grin.

He gave me a high five.

"This bitch tried to take Lin down with her two lapdogs."

"They make fun of me because my parents are gay." Lin muttered.

I clenched my hands into fists.

"Fuck them. They're idiots. They know nothing." Mike said.

She leaned against him and seemed mentally far away.

He sighed and put his arm around her.

"Everything will be alright." He muttered and kissed her on the head.

"Kayla is a slut and manipulative, Taylor is a bitch with an aggression problem and Kimberly is just naive and a bit stupid and therefore a follower." Dave said sighing.

"True shit, Farrell." Chester said.

"I don't understand this. Kayla was such a nice and sweet girl. We used to be kind of friends, actually." I said disappointed.

"Time changes people, Alex." Dave said gently.

"That's still no justification for her behavior." Joe said.

"That's true." The redhead admitted.

"Where are Rob and Brad anyway?" Mike asked to change the subject.

Chester and I exchanged looks.

We didn't know exactly where they were, but Brad probably intercepted my brother to talk to him.

"Did I hear our names?"

Surprised, we turned around.

Behind us were Brad and Rob. Hand in hand.

I smiled. "You did it."

"Yes. Thank you, Alexis." He smiled back.

"Not for that. I'm happy when you two are happy."
