Protective

Chapter 6

Isabella's POV

The last few days, I've been on lookout. More specifically, for Dave Karofsky. Ever since Kurt told us about how he's being harassed by him, I make sure to be with him in between classes in case he tries to come up to him.

It was lunch time and I had decided to go to the dance studio to release some stress. I plug my iPod up to the stereo and decide on 'Beneath Your Beautiful' by Labrinth. I'm panting and sweating when I get done. I get up to take a sip of my water, taking my shirt off in the process, leaving me in shorts and a sports bra. I grab my things, turning the corner, as I'm about to pull on a shirt I see Kurt at his locker. I'm about to talk to him when I see Karofsky walk up. He grabs something from Kurt's hand and glares at him, slamming him into the locker.

I look back at Kurt, dropping my shirt and bag, running after him, "hey, asshole!" I run up to him and tap his shoulder, "I know you aren't talking about me, Lopez" I nod, looking at him "oh, but I am, Karofsky. How about you stop bullying Kurt, and give me back what you took from him" I take a step closer, clenching my fist. He laughs "you've got balls" he drops his bag on the ground, "more than you have" he starts to get angry and pushes me into the lockers. I get up and ran at him, punching him in the jaw before he gets five good punches in. As I start to get up, he kicks me in the stomach, "You and your lame club never learn" he whispers as he starts to walk away. I get up shakily walking towards him, "maybe I should start talking about your sister next. Rumor has it, she's getting it on with that retard, Pierce." I look at him and see nothing but red. I punch him as many times as I can and then kick him one good time in his groin.

I look down at him and look at the damage I caused. He looked bad, but definitely not as bad as I did. I felt blood everywhere on my face. And my stomach was already starting to bruise. I look down at the clock and realize I'm late for glee club. I grab what looks like a wedding cake topper from the floor, where it fell out of his hand and head down the hallway. I hear Mr. Schuester talking as I knock on the door. Someone opens the door and I hear gasps from everywhere, "oh my god!" I get inside the classroom and lean against the wall, falling on the ground. I close my eyes and I put my hand over my stomach. "Is!" I hear my sister as she comes to my side. "What the hell happened?!" I groan and look up at everyone. "Where's Kurt?" I whisper. She looks for him and tells him to come here. He bends down next to me and I hand him the wedding cake topper. "Is, you didn't" he looks at me. "Someone needed to stand up to him since the school won't" he gives me a gentle hug. "Let's get you in a chair" Mike says as he picks me up. He sets me in a chair as San pulls one up in front of me to clean my face. "Now, what happened?" Mercedes asked. "I was in the dance studio during lunch, and when I had finished I was headed here. Well, when I saw Karofsky go up to him in the hallway, I went up to him and told him to stop bullying Kurt. He told me I had balls and I told him I had more than he did" I hear laughs come from the guys as I continue "then he pushed me into the locker, I punched him, he punched me five times. Then, he kicked me in the stomach and I got up. That was going to be it, until he said something" I say getting angry all over again. "What'd he say?" I hear Brittany ask, sitting down beside me and taking my hand. I shake my head "I'm not repeating it, Britt" she looks at me "You need to tell us, babe" she pushes some hair behind my ear. "He said some stuff about you and San. I've never been that angry, honestly, I scared myself" I look down. "Dude, that's badass" I hear Puck say. "So where is he now?" I look up "well when I left he was unconscious in the hallway" a bunch of them ran out of the room to look at him, while Brittany, Santana, Quinn, Kurt, Mercedes, Mike, and Tina stay behind. "Let me see your stomach, you have your hand on it" I hesitantly lift my hand as I hear more gasps.

My sister starts to get up and takes a step to the door, I get up and put my arms around her waist ,"no, San, don't. I don't want you getting hurt if he's conscious" I groan as I lift her up and put her back down in a seat. "Like hell I can't! He did this to you! I should-" I put my hand over her mouth, "it's over, drop it" she nods and I remove my hand. "Okay, not that you don't look good without a shirt, Is" I hear Mercedes say as my sister glares at her "she's just my best friend, I promise!" she puts her hands up in surrender "but maybe you should put a shirt on." I nod and try putting a shirt on, but can't. "Can you help me Britt?" I ask quietly. She nods and helps me put my shirt on. "Do you think you'll get called to the principal?" I hear Artie say as the guys come back in. I shake my head "nah, he pushed me first, self defense. He doesn't want to get suspended especially because of the game coming up" they nod "we're talking to him when we get to football, this has to stop" I hear Mike say. I shake my head, "guys, be very careful." I say. I feel pats on my back.
