twenty-nine☆

It's finally Friday, the day before the stupid party tomorrow. L was finally starting to feel better and he's been staying at my place for the past couple days. I look at my alarm and see that it is 5:45 AM so I finally get up out of bed to get dressed into something for school. I look through massive piles of jeans, sweatpants, shirts, and hoodies scattered all around my closet doors and on the inside. 'I have go to clean this up.' I think to myself looking through the piles for something to wear. After a few minutes of looking, I finally find something to wear. A black pair of ripped jeans and a blue t-shirt. I throw on my vans and head into the bathroom to braid my hair. 

I turn on my daily music I listen to, for when I usually get ready for school.  I start from the top and work my way down, ending each side with a hair tie and loosening the braids to make them more of a kind of 'messy' look. I head into the kitchen to make our lunches and our breakfast. Putting fruit, and other healthy things into our lunches and making something simple and easy for breakfast: strawberry smoothies and cinnamon toast. I finish preparing the toast and smoothies and I head into my room where L lay silently, dreaming. "L, it's time to get up." I say rubbing his back. He groans. "Now? " He says rubbing his eyes. "Yes now. Come on I made breakfast."

He sits up and slowly gets out of bed. He heads his way to the kitchen to eat the toast and have a smoothie. He quickly eats and then gets dressed into a jacket and skin tight pants.

We walk out of the house together and decide to walk to school this morning, to enjoy the view of the sunrise coming up.

"How'd you sleep?" I ask. He shrugs and runs his fingers through his hair. "A'ight I guess. I'm glad I'm walking a bit better." I smile. "Me too." We finally make it to the school when they open the doors to hang out in the school or in the courtyard. We walk in by our lockers to put anything away or take anything out.

"Hey, Bec!" I hear a guy voice from my right. I turn over to see Harry. "Harry, hey!" L looks over with a loathesome face.

"Harry this is L, my boyfriend. L this is Harry, my math partner and friend." "Hey man what's up?" Harry says going to shake L's hand but L just stands there with a blank, deadly eye. Harry quickly takes his hand away and scratches his head. "Anyway, what's up Harry?" He scratches his head. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry for what happened to your locker the other day. And I wanted to ask if you needed any help with what were doing in math?" His face was red and he kept messing with his hair and tried to not make eye contact.

"I'm doing great thanks. L and I should probably get-" I see Zach walking from a distance with a smirk on his face. My mood completely drops. "What's wrong Becca?" Harry asks. L looks at me and then looks behind him to where I'm staring at Zach walking closer. "Motherfucker." L says slamming his locker shut pacing up to Zach and punching him in the face. Harry's eyebrows raise.

"What the hell?" Harry says. Casey, Liam, Trent, Jenny, Lilian and Kaelyn come running up to me while everyone else is pulling out there phones and recording the fight. I watch as L punches Zach in the jaw. Zach throws a hard swing at L but misses by a long shot.

"Whats happening?" Casey asks turning me away. I stand there in silence turning back, watching L throw his fists at Zach. Zach punches his ribs and swings at his face. "Something happened to me this weekend and Zach is going to get what he deserves for it. He'll feel the pain I felt." "Becca what do you mean?" Harry asks. "Yeah?" Casey and Lilian ask questionably.

"Can't be that bad to where he's beat to death-" Trent started to say. "Trent no-" Jenny tries to say after. "I was raped." I say quickly looking down. "Are you okay?" Harry asks rubbing my arm. I nod. "Oh my God Rebecca you have to report it!" Lili says pulling me into a tight hug. I sigh. "I'm too scared. I can't do it."

A teacher finally break the two of them up and walk past me to go to the principals office. Zach's bloody face has a smirk. L passes by and I reach out for L's hand but the teacher slaps it away.

The bell rings to go to sixth period and L shows up with an ice bag for his nose. "Oh my god are you okay?" "I'm fine. Are you okay?" He says hugging me. "Only if you are." He smiles and we sit down. "So what kind of punishment did you get or have they not told you yet?" He sighs. "I'm going to be honest I told them the truth. About what happened." I drop my jaw. "L why!" He pulls me in and holds me. "I told them that he hurt you in a physical way but I never said how." I look at him and then he pulls my sleeve up to the bruises my father gave me.

The late bell rings and Mr. Teryl walks into the front of the class with his creepy smile. "Hello everyone, today we're going to be opening our books and flipping to page 163." He waits for us all to turn to the page number and continues. I'd like you all to take out the central idea of the article and then write an informational essay on the topic. This is going in as a quiz grade so I expect no talking. If you don't finish take it home for homework it's due tomorrow."

Throughout the quiet classroom lie pencils moving across paper. The phone rings. Mr. Teryl looks around the room to see who it could possibly be and answers the phone. "Hello this is Teryls room." He looks directly at L and I. "Yes I will send them down right away." He points at us. "You two to the office now." We nod our heads and head down to the office. "You going to be okay?" L asks rubbing my back. I nod yes. "Are you sure? I don't want anything bad happening to you." I smile slightly. "Trust me. I'll be okay."
