The change that made me strong. || ON HOLD

Chapter 9

"So who is this guy?" Leo asked me when I came back to them.
"His name is Blake, he is new and we are in a music project. Don't worry guys he's very nice." I responded.
All of my brothers changed gazes and because they didn't talk to me anymore I decided to go just back in my room.
"Where do you think you're going?" Dylan asked visible amused.
"Upstairs because you didn't talk to me and just communicated with gazes," I said like it was totally obvious.
"Well then come back," he said.
"Why? I have so much to do for school really guys I have no time for your immature behavior. It's not that easy for me like for you to get good grades" I replied. It wasn't even a lie. My brothers are for some reason damn good in school. I was always more that kid that got B's and C's which I'm fine with but my parents said that I have to get better otherwise they'll take away my phone and everything I like oh and I'd be grounded.
So I decided to do my best this year. I mean it's not my fault if I get not straight A's if I really tried it.
But because I don't want to waste more time I went back to my brothers.
"What do you want?" I asked when I stand in front of them. I tried to calm myself down and be polite.
"We have a guest tomorrow... and... this person means a lot to me so it would be nice if you could try to be polite," Dylan said. He looked uncomfortable and probably hoped that I wouldn't freak out now. I know that he wanted to tell me with that so I answered:" So your new girlfriend comes tomorrow and you want me to be nice to her?"
He nodded. I then smiled and said:" I can't promise that I'll be nice and stuff but I do my best. And maybe she is really nice and not one of this psycho bitches you have had in the past."
"Watch your-" Leo started to say but then stopped because he knows it was true.
"Thank you, princess," Dylan said visibly relieved.

*Skip to the next day, Friday*

All of my classes till lunch are super boring but somehow I managed to survive them.
I walked to the cafeteria where my friends already waited for me.
I took a seat next to Lexi and we started talking when suddenly the school bully girl group entered the cafeteria.
No one dares to say anything about them because everyone except a few people are scared of them.
My friends, my brothers, I and a handful of other people count to the one that dares to say something against them.
And not only a minute after they came they started bullying a little girl. I saw her before and noticed that she is very shy and had not many friends so she was an easy victim for them.
I couldn't stand it any longer and made my way to Claire (she's the leader of the group).
When I reached her she looked for a moment confused but said then:" What do you want Hailey? You know you can't save anyone all the time. You are so annoying with your kindness!"
"Hello Claire and thanks for the compliment but you know you might be right with the fact that I can't help everybody but I try and this girl is definitely a beautiful human being and deserve nothing of the shit you and your bitches do to her!"  I responded smiling.
"You have courage girl that you dare to call us bitches," one of the girls said. She was taller than me, has her blond hair in a ponytail and a chewing gum.
I don't care what she said to me and just ignored her.
Claire's 'friends' still hold the girl tight on both of her arms so she couldn't move. I looked in her eyes and so that they are filled with fear.
I felt immediately bad and started to say again something to help her.
"Let the girl go, Claire. You know she didn't do anything to you." I said with a clear voice.
"Just go away, Hailey you are like so annoying," she answered sassily but I noticed something. It was like she was sad, I could see it in her eyes.
"Are you happy?" I asked her then.
"What?! Yes of course I am. I am so happy and have so much fun because I can show this little bitch soon who the queen here is!"
"I feel really sorry for you, Claire. I don't doubt that you have an easy life neither think I that you are the same horrible person deep inside your heart.
But I'm sure that this feeling you call 'happiness' doesn't feel like happiness that really happy people fell.
You hide your true feelings behind this mask. You rather want people to be scared of you than to be friends with them.
You make people feel worthless, fat, ugly, insecure and so much more. You actually scare people off. You hurt everyone that tries to come through this facade.
But it is okay to show your feelings, it is okay to show your emotions, it is okay to let someone in your life; in your heart and is okay to treat people with kindness.
I really feel sorry for you. Claire, I don't know what happened to you in the past but you can change and be happy again." after I finished saying all this I looked deep in her eyes and could see that I was right and she knows it too.
Instead of apologizing to the girl and to everyone she ever had hurt she began to laugh.
And I can't help myself but feel sorry for her. Nobody is born like a bitch anybody has their own story and I don't doubt that she has an easy life.
"Ha, you think you know everything! But you know nothing! And now go away this girl needs a few punishes in her fat stomach!" Claire said. I know that she was just trying to push away her guilty consciences by making everyone aware that she is not weak and that she should be feared.
Before I could say anything she gave one of her 'friends' the permission to punish the poor girl.
And now I had enough. I was so angry said I slapped Claire in her face, it was only light but she was shocked and before she could slap me back I caught her hand in the air and turned she on her back. The other girls were shocked as well and didn't know what to do. Claire tried to hold her tears but I know that what I'm doing hurt her but the pain is far away from what she does to others. I told the other girls to let the girl go and that they should rather leave if they don't want to feel the pain as well. I saw Lexi, Luke, and Blake behind me and told the girl to go to Lexi. She ran without thinking to her. Then I whispered in Clair's ear "don't you dare to hurt anyone only one more time. I swear if you do you arm will be broken and you won't be able to walk for a month and get yourself help because it hurts to see you like that!" with these words I let her go.
When I turned around to my friends everyone in the cafeteria started to applause.  I blushed because I didn't saw this coming but smiled then. I saw my brothers cheering and smiling at me.
The girl I 'saved' said to me:" Thank you so much! If you ever need anything ask me. You are such a brave girl, thank you again so so much. I will never forget what you did for me." I blushed even more and said, " It was a pleasure for me, your welcome" she smiled and walked away.

After school, my brothers waited at the car for me and we drove home together.
When we arrived my phone rang, it was mom.
{Mom=M, Hailey=H}
H: Hey Mom

M: Hey Hailey, do you wanna explain why I got a call from your principal that you slapped a girl right in her face?

H: It's not how it looks, mom...
( She told her the whole story )

M: Well then I'm proud of you honey!
       That's my girl! (That said her dad)

H: Thanks! But I have to do now homework see you soon.

M: Bye honey!

*end of the call*

I walked in my room, did some homework.
I didn't realize how late it was until Max came into my room and told me that Dylan's girlfriend will be here in 30 minutes. I screamed and started getting ready as fast as I could.

I'm sorry that one chapter is empty but it would delete. I don't k is why but I will rewrite it soon.
I hope you like this chapter.
