Jayden's Point of View.
BANG
"Fuck," I gritted out as I fell onto the floor clutching my wounded leg.
'Not again! Why do they keep coming back?'
"Yo Jayden! What the hell's wrong with your eyes freak!?" Asher asked as he picked me up by my hair, and punched me in the face, making me fall again.
'I mean, I wouldn't call myself a freak... hm, I would call me... ah special. Yeah, I'm special.'
"I bet your parents are ashamed of you!" He laughed as he kicked me repeatedly.
'Well I haven't seen them in ten years so kindly fuck off.'
"Dude stop! He's not gona get up anymore! Let's just go," Jonah stepped up and stopped Asher from 'killing' me. I scoffed.
'As if. I've survived far worse then this bitch. I just have a, probably, broken right arm, a bullet in my left shin, a busted lip, just a few broken ribs, and I can't open my right eye. Huh, I wonder when they pulled out the knife? Probably Beckham, meaning Gabriel brought the gun. Geez, they should be in jail by now.'
"You're just a freak with weird eyes! Your parents must regret having you!" He shouted.
'Isn't that what your parents are thinking dumbass? And as a matter of fact, I happen to love my color changing eyes, hmph.'
I slowly stood up, leaning on my right leg. I grabbed my right arm with my left as I looked at the four people in front of me.
Jonah had one of his hands on Asher's shoulder, giving me a sad look. Pity.
I glared at him.
'Bitch! Don't look at me like that! Like-like I'm some type of wounded animal! Ugh, I can't stand Jojo sometimes!'
Beckham and Gabriel were standing behind Asher and Jonah, with angry looks.
'Haha, what are they doing with their faces? Are they-are they trying to glare at me? Hahaha, they look constipated.'
I looked them up and down and see a bloody Cold Steel Hy217 Swiss Army knife in Beckham's right hand and a Beretta 92FS pistol in Gabriel's left hand.
'Ooo, they have good taste though. Wonder if they'll notice if I "borrow" them.'
I looked at all of them.
'This is it, time for my awesome speech! ...that I totally will not make up on the spot...'
"You know *cough* I didn't ask... to be born this way" I muttered. "In fact... I didn't even *cough* ask to be born." I said looking directly into Asher's eyes.
His eyes widened, suddenly taking a step backwards.
'Yeah, be scared bitch! Damn, I'm so fucking cool!'
"Shut up!" Asher yelled. With his one step back, he took two steps foreword.
"Why are you *cough* even after me? I didn't *cough* do anything to you," I asked Asher.
"I told you to shut up freak!" He shouted and came up to punch me.
'Dang it, I don't wana pass out, ugh.'
I closed my eyes, accepting my fate, but nothing happened. I opened them and saw that Jonah was in front of me, blocking Asher's punch.
'Oh so now he decides to step in hm.'
"Asher, I told you to stop." Jonah's 6'2" self said, well more like commanded, but Asher being his dumb self didn't stop. Even Beckham and Gabriel stepped back in fear. Instead Asher tried to knee Jonah's stomach, which obviously didn't work. Jonah caught his knee and pushed it back. And with that, Asher fell hilariously on his ass.
"Asher, I said stop!" He commanded once more. "He's already bleeding! Hell, he has a bullet in his leg! What the hell were you thinking when-" I stopped listening and started thinking.
'Should I learn some type of martial arts? That would be cool, I wana learn how to dodge bullets! Wax on, wax off.'
I was ripped out of my thoughts when someone shook me
"Jay, Jay! Are you okay?" Jonah asked, well more like screamed, in my face.
"Yes Jojo, I'm alright," I replied.
'Huh, Asher and his crew are gone. Damn Jojo's a scary motherfucker when he wants to be.'
"Are you sure? You're bleeding pretty badly, can you walk? No wait, don't answer that. I'll carry you to my car, I'm bringing you to the hospital." He rambled, carrying me to his car.
"I didn't need you to save me," I muttered. "I totally could've beaten the shit out of 'em."
"Yeah, I'm so sure you could have," he replied helping me in to the passenger seat and getting into the driver's seat himself.
"Are you doubting my super awesome skills?" I asked sassily.
"No of course not, your sassiness" He mocked a bow and started his car. I smiled and I don't even have to look in a mirror to know that my eyes have turned into a honey yellow color. Just like they always do when I'm happy.
There was a silence but I stopped that when we were just two stoplights away from the hospital.
"Thank you for, you know, helping me out." I said looking at the blood stains on my jeans, my eye color most likely switching to baby blue.
"It's no problem really, I just-I should stopped Gabe when he pointed the gun at you. I didn't think he was actually going to shoot you," He apologized.
"Wait, you knew they were going to do that?" I asked, my eyes turning back to their original hazel color.
"Well... yes and no? I mean I knew they were going to go to you, but I didn't know it was to hurt you. I thought they would just talk with you."
"You really thought they were just going to talk? Do you even know them?! The only reason they're not in juvie is because they have rich ass parents!"
"I know! And I'm sorry," Jonah turned the car into hospital's parking lot, trying to find a parking space.
"Why were you with them anyway?" I wondered.
"Well, I-I actually don't know. Th-they called me out of nowhere, really, and said they wanted to hang out with me and you, so-so they went to get me and we were going to your-"
"-I don't really care," I said, cutting him off. "I just wanted to hear you stutter" I smirked facing him.
'Payback's a bitch hehehe'
"You little piece of shit," he laughed as we finally got a place to park. He helped me get out of the car and put my right shoulder over his head and we walked into the place. We went to the front desk and Jojo asked if I could get immediate help. As soon as the front desk guy saw my bleeding face and leg and-just everything, I was whisked off to one of their rooms and right before I passed out, I saw Jojo filling out a huge stack of papers.
'Poor Jojo. I feel bad now...'

Here's some info on the chapter in case you're confused about Jayden's color changing eyes: this is an au where everyone is born with some sort of psychic ability (ex telekinesis or telepathy). People can be born with the same ability, it's not like everyone is born with an ability that unique to them only. In this case, Jayden is part of the very few people who are born with a physical ability (shapeshifting, shown by his color changing eyes) which is why he gets bullied.
