Saved by the bad boy

Chapter 6: Who are you?

As soon as Axel left, I start balling.

I can't believe that happened.

I can't believe Axel saved me.

I got up, and walked, ok, limped up the stairs, and got changed in my pjs, and laid down.

Everything hurt, especially my head, from when I was shoved by Steph and hit my head on the ground so hard. I don't think I have a concussion though.

Not like Brian would take me to the hospital anyway.

After a few hours, I finally fell asleep.

My eyes shot open when a loud knock came from the door.

I sighed and got up, and I just realized that I'm still wearing Axels hoodie.

Probably Liam, or Joe. I pray to God it isn't them.

Sometimes, Brian doesn't make them come, or even know that he is gone for the weekend. But don't think I'll thank him for that, or say that I'm lucky. I mean, I'm kind of lucky, but being alone, in this house, with nothing to do, except think about everything that has happened, isn't fun, and isn't lucky. And, I have no one to hang out with, except maybe Vikki, but I doubt it.

I slowly opened the door, and poke my head out, and I see.... nothing.

"Boo!"

I fall back, and land on my butt.

"What the...." I look up.

"Sorry," he said sheepishly.

Ummmmm who the hell is this?

"Who are you?" I ask, standing up and slowly backing away.

I recognize him, but that doesn't mean I trust him.

"I go to the same school as you. I'm friends with Axel. My names James." He said sticking his hand out.

I stared at his hand, and looked at him, still not knowing why he's here.

He awkwardly puts his hand in his pocket.

"I was at the party last night, and I found this phone," he holds up my phone "and I went through it, and saw your name, and I found your address, so... I decided to give this to you." He says, and hands me my phone.

"Thanks James." I said, turning around.

"No problem, see you at school." He said, and with that, he left.

I closed the door, confused.

Why are two of the baddest boys in school, being nice, to me?

I will always be the, unpopular, bullied, nerd, unwanted, loser.

I looked at my phone, and saw a new contact. But not only one, two.

James and Axel.

What? This must be a joke. Why would they want my contact?

Probably want to give my number to everyone at the school so they cyber bully me, or just bully me themselves.

Well Axel is new, he just got here a few weeks ago.

He hasn't bullied me. Yet.

Just as I was going to get something to eat, there was another knock.

I sighed and opened the door.

Whoop dee doo. It was James.

I closed the door, but he put his foot in the way.

"Want to eat with us?" He asked

I opened the door and looked at him, "What?" I asked, because I thought I heard him wrong.

"No! Not like that! I mean, at school. In the cafeteria. Want to eat lunch at our table, with all of my friends?" He said, smiling, like he was actual hoping that I would say yes.

As if I would believe that.

"And who are your "friends"? I ask, crossing my arms.

"Well, you already met Axel and me. Then there's Mia, Ava, Grayson, and there's Ethan. So, what do you say?" He asked

"What game are you playing?"

"We're not playing a game. I swear." He denies.

"Can I bring my friend Victoria?" I ask, actually consider it, and not even knowing why.

"Sure, I guess."

I groaned in pain. I guess I've been standing for too long.

"You alright?" He asked.

"Ya, I just hurt my ribs." I tell him.

I've always been good at lying, considering I've been doing it for years, and I'm more afraid of Brian then anybody, and who knows what he will do to me if he finds out I tell someone.

"How did you do it? Was it the classic dancing in the shower then falling?" He asked, smiling.

I couldn't help but chuckle at that, "No, I just fell down the stairs."

He smiled, "That's a classic one too."

"Ya. So... Bye." I said, closing the door.

"See you at school."

I closed the door, and went up to my room, and laid l my bed.

What the hell is happening in my life?

Why do they suddenly want to be friends with me?

Maybe they haven't noticed me before, and now that they have, they want or be friends with me.

I don't know. Seems very unbelievable

But they could be my only friends so I'm taking the risk.

I can't totally can't wait for Monday (note the sarcasm)

A/N
Hey! So, I'm going to make it so Grace, is very sassy, and is sarcastic A LOT. BUT only in public or at least not around Brian and his friends. Because I feel like the only touchy subject that would make her upset is talking about Brian, and her home life. But when she doesn't talk about it, she's herself. So, she's not going to be scared ALL the time, only at touchy subjects. I love you all, hope you have an amazing day, and thank you for reading.
