Inanimate High; an Inanimate Insanity Fanfiction Human AU

Chapter Three: Pain and Bruises

Hi :)  Here's the names:    Susan=Suitcase    Bastion=Balloon    Micah=Microphone    A bit less than usual, but I'm just going by what my mind creates on the spot (I've got barely any ideas at this given moment, and it is currently 9:37 pm. Not very late, but my brain is stupid and thinks it's late). (TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual assault and violence.)

Entry #134,

I am doing this for him. If he's ever going to see me as somebody worth falling for, I need to keep my head high. It hurts a bit seeing the girls' reactions, but to me, it's the only way he'll notice me. He's so cool though, how could he ever love somebody like me? God, I need to get my head in the game. Micah's eyeing him again. Wish me luck. This is for you, Kyle.

Five Days Before

"So, you gonna talk or not?" Kyle asked, an aggressive tone in his naturally rough voice.

"N-No! I'm not!" The curly-haired red-head replied firmly, yet intimidated.

"Whelp. You asked for it."

Kyle cracked his knuckles and swung a punch at Bastions' face. Bastion shouted in pain, but nobody could hear him. School was over, most of the students had left, and the two stood behind the school. As Kyle brought his fist up for another punch, a short girl with brown pigtails somehow reached his recoiled fist and called out, "Leave him alone!" Her squeaky, British voice echoing among them.

"Oh, and what are you gonna do, Susan?" Kyle asked, "Run off and tell Katz? I don't think so. You're not even brave enough to get up and sharpen a pencil!" He gave a sharp laugh. (GET IT?! Cuz he's Knife but human?! ahaha aren't i funny) Susan dropped the trash bag she was holding onto the cold asphalt as he quickly pulled her hand off of his.

"No," she replied firmly, "I'm going to tell you once more to leave Bastion alone." She kicked Kyle's shin with her small foot, hoping it'd give at least a bit of pain. All Kyler did was laugh once again. 

"You really think you can intimidate me?" He asked, towering over the small girl. "Pathetic. You should've stayed in London where you belong." He then kicked her in the knee, causing her to fall and scrape her opposite knee. She tried her best to not indicate she was in pain, but a few tears had escaped her brown eyes. Kyle laughed and continued to punch and kick her, causing scrapes and bruises to form. Susan started screaming. Tears flooded her eyes. Blood dripped from her cuts and nose. Bastion tried his best to pull Kyle away from his friend, but to no avail. He pushed him away, scraping his knee in the process. A few minutes had passed before Kyle backed away from Susan.

"Don't get in my way, got it?"

Susan slowly nodded.

"Good."

Kyle slapped Bastion across the face before walking away. Bastion didn't care, he kneeled down to Susan and was greeted by her clinging herself onto him, crying into his chest. Bastion gently pulled her hair behind her ear as he tried to calm her.

"I'm so sorry," he apologized.

"What do-do you h-have to be s-s-sorry-y fo-for?" Susan stuttered between sobs.

"I wasn't able to stop him."

"That's no r-reason to be sor-ry."

Bastion then picked her up and brought her inside the school.

"Wh-Where are we go-going?" She asked.

"Nurse's office."

"But we c-can't! The n-nurse will ask how this hap-happened and Kyle will get upset tha-that we told-d!"
