My fists are balled, and trembling on my sides. This is what Bailey goes through for every single damn day of her life? All the pain, all the sorrow, all the bitterness she holds in her ruined heart is unthinkable. My heart hurts for her because she's been broken to a point where she can't even feel. Who could possibly do something like that to the person I love? I love her, and someone is hurting her. My mind swirls into a spiral downwards forgetting reality.
I look outside the classroom. The teacher's numerous lectures aren't of much interest to me. Especially this one. That's when I see something that makes me stop looking around. I see a certain car. A car that I recognize.
"Mrs.McAlister?" I ask, trying to shake off the look, "I'm so bored that I could sleep".
"Yes, Jonah?"
"I need to use the restroom," I tell her.
She nods, and I literally sprint out of the room. Funny, given that Brooke walked away from me. Except I'm not going to the restroom. I'm going to find out what Brooke's car is doing in our school parking lot.
Once I'm out of school grounds, someone places their hands on my shoulders. I flinch. I recognize that touch. It's one of superiority and protectiveness. Brooke. And then... Another touch. This one is timid, motherly. Mom. The thought of them sickens me. I push away from there touch, infuriated, and sprint. Softly and lightly, it starts to drizzle.
