In Love With My Teacher [MAYLOR] ✔️

Chapter Twelve

    «Alex ! Alex wake up I'm begging you !» A voice could be heard in a corner of Alex's mind. He slowly opened his eyes, only to see a crying Deaky knelt next to him, his hand stroking his hair.

    «D-Deaky...? W-What are you... Doing here...?» He had difficulties to speak, he wasn't breathing correctly because of the stress and the panic.

    «I-I was j-just going to the restroom a-and...» John let out a sob. «I-I found y-you here ! P-Prenter was beating you to d-death and... H-He saw me and just left ! I thought you were dead Alex ! Please tell me you're going to be okay !» Deaky was panicking, Alex could see it. He sat himself and hugged John, letting him freeze in his arms.

    «I'll be alright Deaky, don't worry. I just... Need to sat up.» He pulled away and sat up, with John's help «Thank you for being here Deaks... I need to go, I have to find Roger.» He turned himself to walk out of the restroom but John put his hands on his shoulders and turned him around toward him.

    «Oh no you aren't going anywhere. Are you insane ? Prenter of one of these fu... I mean, one if his friends, could be in the corridor ! And you, you want to go like nothing happened ! I'm worried about you Alex I did know Prenter was a... you know, but I didn't know he picked on you. Is it the first time ?» John spoke quickly, showing his worries. Alex was worried too, but John's speech made him smile. Deaky really can't swear, Alex thought, smiling in his head, he's so precious So innocent, so cut-- What ? No no, he's not cute. He's just a friend okay ?

    «It's not the first time.» Alex sighed. «It's been for a while now, but don't worry, it's not grave.» John was frozen on his spot. Tears were pearling in the corners of his eyes.

    «W-Why didn't y-you say a-anything...?» He asked, stuttering. «W-We c-could have help y-you.»

    «I'm sorry John it's just If I'd told you anything Prenter would've killed me. And I know he's able to do it.» Alex explained, trying to stay calm. Deaky sniffed and let out a sob. He quickly wrapped his arms around Alex and sobbed in his neck. Alex hugged him back, stroking his hair to comfort him. Poor Deaky...He's very sensitive... Alex thought, then something didn't make sense in his mind. Why doesn't he find me bothering ? Plus, he's crying because of me It's my fault, it's always my fault. I wish I was never born, I made too much people cry. Prenter should have killed me. «I'm so sorry John I... I didn't want to make you cry I'm a horrible person I--»

    «No you aren't.» John cut him off as he pulled away. «The only horrible person here is Prenter. You are nothing of him. You're smart, funny, friendly, caring You're perfect. And Prenter is nothing of these qualities. You don't deserve what he did to you. And don't forget, I'm here, so if you ever want anything, you can talk to me okay ?»

    «Um... Y-Yeah...» Alex answered, looking down, scratching the back of his head and blushing. Perfect ? No I'm not Deaky, i'm a failure. I can't be perfect, however, you are. And why people wants to help me ? First Mr. May and now Deaky ? I don't deserve any type of help so why?

    «Hey Alex I'm back ! Hey Deaky !» Roger greeted, smiling, as he walked toward them. His smile immediately faded when he looked at Alex. He put his hands on his shoulders and gasped. «Jesus what happened to you ?! You've got a black eye and an obvious bruise and your cheek !» Alex gulped. He knew he couldn't use the excuse of the door slamming into his face. He looked down, feeling guilty.

    «Do you want me to explain ?» John asked. Alex shook his head. He had to explain him the whole situation.

    «I'll do it. Don't worry Deaky, i can do it.» Alex answered, sighing. John nodded with a slight smile.

    «I'll leave you two alone, I'll be with Freddie and Jim in the cafeteria.»

    «Jim ?» Roger and Alex asked at the same time.

    «Oh um, Freddie's boyfriend.» He said. «See you later.» John slightly waved goodbye and walked away. The two brothers waved back and then Roger cleared his throat.

    «So, tell me what happened.» Roger said in a serious tone. Alex sniffled, trying to not cry. He had to be strong.

    «It's a bit long and complicated so...»

    «I don't care Ax, I want to know how you got that. Please tell me...»

    «Okay then...» Alex sighed. «Do you know Paul Prenter ?» Roger nodded.

    «Yeah what about him ?»

    «He... He did this to me...» Alex said, pointing to his injuries. Roger gasped.

    «Why !? Why did that fucker do that ?!» The older Taylor asked, anger rising in him.

    «Because I said to Dominique I'd tell you she was toxic for you, that she dated you only for you joining her squad.» Roger seemed confused.

    «W-What ? What does have Dom to do with this ?» He asked, his eyebrow raised.

    «She's the leader of Prenter's squad. When I threaten her to spill the beans to you, she told Prenter to beat me, so I couldn't tell you. It's been like this since I found her real intentions so Maybe two weeks after you started dating her.» Roger was speechless, frozen. Suddenly, he hugged him.

    «I'm so sorry Alex. I'll break up with her, and I promise, Prenter or anyone won't bother you anymore. I'll always be there Ax, you can count on me. I'll tell Brian about this okay ? I trust him, he'll protect you. Can I ?» Alex nodded, burying his head in his brother's neck and wrapping his arms around him.

    «Yeah... Please but I don't want you and Brian to be over me. I would like you to be together. I don't want to be the principal source of worries of both of you. Please I deserved it, you don't have to defend me.» Roger shook his head.

    «You're not like this... Anyway, I'll take you to the nurses. I'll leave you there so you'll can rest. During this time, I'll go talk to Brian okay ?» Roger explained, pulling away. Alex nodded. «Okay Ax follow me.» They walked in the corridor together, Roger's arm around Alex's shoulder. They arrived in the infirmary. Roger ruffled his brother's hair as he entered in the room. «Courage Bro...» He whispered. He didn't waste anytime and ran into the corridor, to the teacher's office. He had to tell Brian about this, it would help Alex, and himself. Five minutes later, he found him in his classroom. He ran over him and hugged him. «I need you Brian.»
