To heal a broken heart

Chapter 16

~Jayden's POV~

Walking down the hallways, I try to arrange my nervous thoughts properly. I texted Juli if she knew where Holly was and surprisingly she told me without making one of her comments. She said she should wait in front of her class because they wanted to meet up. Due to her being late, she told me I should go there already to make sure Holly would be alright.

So that's where I'm heading now. Hopefully I can talk to her before my annoying sister arrives as well. And hopefully she listens...

Before I can turn around the last corner I suddenly hear familiar voices.

"Now you know what happens to attention whores. Don't forget what I told you about the Davis-twins. If you tell them, I'll make your life a living hell!", some annoyingly high-pitched voice says angrily. Is that Chelsea?! And what is she talking about?! What can't the other one tell me?

To my surprise I hear weak laughter following her words. The person coughs in between and my heart clenches at the helpless sounds. Still, I decide to wait for what is about to happen.

"Oh Chelsea, you have no idea. My life IS a living hell already", a low, broken voice answers a few seconds later. My eyes widen. Holly! What the fuck is she doing there?! And what does she mean, her life is a living hell?!

"Don't you dare talk back to me, you worthless, little shit!", Chelsea spits back, waking me up from my shock. Anger flares up inside of me, boiling blood coursing through my veins, making them pop around my neck. With two steps I'm around the corner, stopping in front of a horrible scene.

Holly lays on the ground, bleeding from multiple cuts, her sleeves soaked with blood and visibly sporting dark bruises under her smudged makeup. Chelsea is crouching down next to her, holding her up by her hair while Nick stands next to them with a big smirk on his face. Their minions are a few feet away, yet they still seem to enjoy the cruel play of their leaders.

"What the fuck is going on here?!", I grunt out and only now they seem to register my presence. Chelsea's face pales visibly, while Nick scowls at me. Their friends just seem unsure of what to think or do.

"Jayden!", Chelsea squeaks out surprised. "What are you doing here?"

I can see her starting to sweat nervously. Fucking slut.

"None of your business. What the fuck do you think you're doing?!", I yell at her, stalking over to her and gripping her arm tightly. She cries out in pain and lets go of Holly's hair. That's what I waited for, so now I yank her away from my poor, little angel and throw her into her group of friends. They try to flee out of my way, but I'm already over Chelsea again.

"If I ever hear, see or even get to know rumors about you hurting her again, I'll make sure you won't ever even lift a finger again without feeling pain!", I spit down at her.

Before I can add more I'm suddenly yanked back and thrown into the next wall. I grit my teeth. Who's dumb enough to attack me? Turning around I'm faced with Nick and his buddies. Well, no surprise here. He always was stupid.

"I mean, I wasn't finished with Chelsea, but I guess I can work you in as well", I grunt, staring him down angrily. It's no question to me that he hurt Holly as well. Chelsea wouldn't dirty her fake nails with things like that.

"Ha! Try me, Davis! We all know even you can't take three at once", he smirks back at me, causing me to smile at his naivety. I had worked through worse, so what is he talking about?

Without waiting for my answer, he starts to attack. Trying to hit my face, he forgets to protect his upper body, giving me the opportunity to directly strike his jaw while avoiding his amateurish punch. He stumbles back, but I don't give him time to recover. While dodging a kick from one of his friends, I hit him in the stomach, throwing a kick in as well.
