He Saved Me

Chapter thirty four

"Leah" Mason wakes me up. I groan, opening my eyes to see his perfectly sculpted face.

"What time is it?" I rub my eyes, searching through my suitcase. "6:40. I was going to let you sleep later but I figured you would have gotten mad because you wouldn't have enough time" He laughs.

"Well you thought right. Thank you" I smile, kissing him. I run into the bathroom with my clothes and quickly get ready, straightening my hair messily.

6:55

Crap, I still need to do some makeup. I can do it in the car if I need to. "Le, can I come in?" Mason asks, knocking on the door.

"Sure" I say applying some concealer, eyeliner, eyebrows and mascara. The absolute bare minimum.

"Stop with all the makeup" He wines trying to take the mascara wand out of my hand. I swat his hand away, continuing with the process.

"I mean it" He says trying to grab it, which causing me to pull it away. "Stop or you're going to have mascara all over that flawless face of yours" I tease, finishing my mascara up.

"Dude, lets go" Brooks calls causing me to grab my shoe, a hair tie and my bag.

I'm just going to have Ellie braid my hair in the car. A waist of straightening it but whatever. It won't be as frizzy now.

"I'm sorry, I'm still trying to get in the grove of it again" I mumble getting into the back seat with Ellie.

"It's all good. But here, eat. And are you going to put that up?" Ellie asks, pointing to my hair.

"Yeah, I was wondering if you could braid it really quickly" I say, hopeful. "Yeah, of course. I'll do a quick easy french braid. Sit on the floor" She says.

The braid turned out amazing, even with the short, bumpy drive. The only down side is that some bruises were visible since I didn't cover anything on my neck, hoping my hair would cover it.

"Don't worry Le" Brooks whispers, sensing my tension. "Let me know if you want the hoodie I have in my locker. I know whats going through your head. And just remember, you have nothing to be nervous about" Mason says, low. He grabs my hand, swinging it back and forth causing me to smile.

When we get to my locker Tim, Dani, Christine and Aiden are already there. "What happened to you?" I gasp seeing a huge bruise around Aiden's eye. "And you?" Mason says seeing his bandaged knuckles.

"We got bored so we had a fight" Tim shrugs, looking at Aiden. "Yup" Aiden agrees. I look at Dani to see her nervously looking down.

"Don't forget I'm the captain" Mason threatens them causing Aiden to crack. "Fine, we had to do something about Patrick. He's a little dįck and after what happened yesterday I couldn't let him get away. And I knew Leah didn't want you to do anything but she never said I couldn't" He rambles causing Tim to give him a death glare.

Aiden is really focused on hockey. It's his sport that he's dedicated so much towards. And it has payed off alright, he's an amazing player and is definitely getting a scholarship.

"We're sorry Leah, but we couldn't let him get away and think its okay to treat people like that. It's a shįtty way to be and we couldn't just stand around and let it happen" Tim explains. "I understand, but you guys really didn't have to do that. I'm fine" I say, placing my books in my locker.

I have PE today with Ellie and Mason. We quickly walk to class, saying goodbye to everyone. I quickly say hi to Coach Matthew. He's Masons football coach too. "Ms. Williams, how are you feeling?" He says reading my doctors note. "I'm okay" I say as he looks up smiling. "Okay, you can take a seat, White, you're team captain along with Mueller" He looks at his clipboard.
