Escaping (cody simpson fan fiction)

chapter 21

After my class ended i made my way to the quad where everyone eats lunch.  I sat down at a bench by myself.  i looked over to where Mackenzie, Jordan, and Bailey were sitting.  To my surprise they were all already staring at me.  They did not seem happy... Not at all. 

I heard my a girl in a group of people say my name.  I listened more intently to what they were discussing.  “I heard Hanna cornered her after school and just punched her for no reason.” i heard one girl say.  “ really I heard that Hanna stole Katie’s boyfriend and when Katie confronted her about it Hanna punched her!” another girl said.

Do these girls really think I was the person who hit Katie?  How could they think that? I pulled out my phone and texted Cody.  

Me: We really need to do something about this.......

Cody: whats going on??? 

Me: Katie came to school today with a huge bruise on her face and everyone thinks it was me that hit her.  I don’t care if people think it was me I just don’t want this to happen to her anymore. 

Cody: there is nothing we can do right now. Ill come over later and we can talk and do home work.  I love you Hanna!!!

Me: I know and thats whats killing me! With all my heart <3 

I couldn’t bare to eat my lunch anymore. I was getting looks from every one.  I decided to just go sit in my next class. Sadly to get there I was forced to walk by Jordan and those girls.  As I got closer to them I noticed Katie was no where to be found.  I try to walk by unnoticed.  I thought it had worked until I heard a cold voice say “thats right you abusive, boyfriend stealing bitch.... leave no one wants you here.‘  I couldn’t tell who had said it and I didn’t want to these girls had been some of my closes friends.  I showed up to class with 15 minutes until it started.  I sat in my seat and finished some home work that was due tomorrow.   I suddenly felt someone else’s presence above me.  I looked up to find Katie standing above me.  Her tears were gone but the bruise was getting more and more noticeable.  “I didn’t tell people that it was you.‘ she said reffering to her bruise.  I nodded, “ I am serious when I said text or call me anytime!‘ i emphasized. “thank you... for everything.‘ she said while walking away.  I could feel a bubble of sadness surround me as she walked away, I wanted so bad to be able to help her but I had no way of accomplishing that. 

School ended and I walked to the back of the school where Katie gets picked up.  I hid behind the same wall and watched as the loud beat up truck pulled up.  I had told my driver to wait 10 minutes before picking me up just to be safe, and to give me time to eaves drop on Katie and her fathers conversation.  

Katie flopped into the truck with her dad.  I saw him grab her tightly on one side of the neck.  I was scared for her.  I could barley make out what he was saying.  “you didnt tell anyone about how you got that did you?‘ he said pointing to her now very noticeable bruise. she shook her head hastily. “good, because if I find out that you told anyone what happened ill be forced to make the punishment way worse next time!’ the man yelled in her face.  He let go of her neck and speed away.  I walked out to the side walk and waited for my car.
