After it all

Chapter 6

"Hazel , right?" Bennet said coming closer to me . I didn't reply , I couldn't . I stopped dead in my tracks . My lips were moving but nothing was coming out . My eyes felt glossy and stung as I refused to blink . "Cmon , don't be like that" he said taking a few steps closer

"Get away from me, asshole" I said clenching my fists . A smirk formed on his face reassuring me, I didn't intimidate him.

"Oh I don't think so sweetheart" he said stopping right in front of me "Are you , scared"

"Of you? Please. I'm more scared of whats under my bed" I snapped at him

"I think she is" One of his bimbos said as him and the others approached me. I probably did the worst thing I could have done given the situation.

Swing.

I stepped around the boy in front of Bennet and wrapped my fingers around his neck, pulling him down to the floor. He was quick to attempt to get on his feet, but before he could I sent my foot down on his chest pushing him back down before squating over him. I got more then one very effective hit on him before I was yanked up by my hair, viciously.

"Hold her" Bloody nosed Benny demanded in a husky growl .Within a second , two of his over sized bamboos held my arms in place behind my back and liftedmy feet from the ground. Bennet smirked in victory , but it was soon replenished by a look of determination.

"Don't take this personal" He said before sending his fist directly to my stomach multiple times. I winced but the pain didn't keep me from sending many kicks at him, missing occasionally.

He backed up, but someone else took his place. After a few hits the next one took a turn. Then the next, and so forth. Once they were all done, the boys dropped me to the ground with a loud thud. Normally that would have hurt, but right now my entire body was aching with every small movement. I spat blood to the floor feeling like a grenadine had exploded inside me.

"Tell your boys, we said watch out" Bennet added. And with that, they were gone.

You know what they say, out of sight out of mind? Yeah, I wish. The moments before me were playing over and over again in my mind. What I could have done differently. How I could have changed it. My thoughts were interrupted by small foot steps trailing into the pathway. The sun was setting, it was about six or seven.

"Where could she be?" I heard a faint voice shout in frustration, followed by a loud bang.

"If I knew, do you think we'd be here looking for her, jackass" a familiar husky voice snapped back, the voices getting closer.

"Okay, but I don't think shed be down here- wait is that, blood?"

"Oh no" A vioce I recognized easily as Dakota stuttered

"Ma-Maybe its not her blood"

Then the footsteps turned into heavy runs. My vision turned blurry, black spots engulfed my eye sight.

"Oh my god" they said in sync. I could barley make out the people standing before me, but it was defiantly who I proclaimed it to be. Dakota, Aaron, Alex, and Zach.

"Hazel , Hazel" Aaron said shaking my shoulders .

"I'm going to kill them" Dakota said through gritted teeth . His knuckles were white with anger as he paced around us .

"I-i" I trailed off my eyelids dropping

"I what , Hazel , you what" Aaron said his grip growing tense . And then , my vision went black .

*

I woke up sore , with a heart wrenching head ache . I turned on my side not daring to open my eyes . As I snuggled farther into the soft bed , I wrapped the soft blanket further around my body not ever wanting to get up .
