Tied between two

The Meeting

Anna and Brody walk up to miss Swanson's office. she could read the sign on the door, "if i said that you needed counselling, then you're in the right place." they both stopped walking when they saw who was sat in front of them, Ben. that meant that Anita was already inside the office, and waiting. 
"couldn't even make the effort to be early i see, was we interrupting your pubic sex session." Ben states sarcastically, a wide, smug grin plastered across his face.
"do not even fucking start, you prick." Brody defended, standing intimidatingly close to Ben with just one step. He backed up and sat down down on the chair opposite Ben. 
"And wipe that smirk off your face, it isn't doing you any favours." Anna spoke confidently as she strolled passed the boys and opened the door to Miss Swanson's office. she saw his face drop from the corner of her eye, just as she stepped into the room. her ignorance beaming, the 'i cannot be fucked for this shit' attitude that became so clear when she shut the door, an attitude that seemed to reflect Anita's.The councillor did not look pleased.
"so you turn up late and don't even knock. you better not do this next time." miss swanson's dislike for Anna shone in her eyes as she spoke.
"there won't be a next time." Anna said bluntly, taking the spare seat at miss' desk.
"so you're going to sort all your issues today, great." Miss Swanson spoke too enthusiastically for Anna or Anita to take her seriously; or it could have been the rainbow highlighted pixie hair cut that she had done recently.
"i doubt it, but i get the feeling today wont go down very well, nor will you want us back into your office." Anita predicted in a very bored tone, she didnt even look up as she spoke, her fell down covering almost all her face. the councillor proceeded to ask loads of pointless questions about life and aspirations that didnt seem to interest Anna or Anita in the slightest and they both answered them as bluntly as possible. that was until she directed a personal question at Anita. 
"so where'd you get the bruises Anita?" she whipped her hand up in shock to cover her face, still hidden by her hair. Her hand and hair covered the side of Anita face that was away from Anna, still obscuring her view but as she raised her arm her sleeve fell slightly revealing the dark bruises left around her wrists where they appeared to have been gripped too tightly.
"how'd you?.. i...he.." Anita stuttered, then sighed, looked down. "he didn't mean to, he was just so full of energy, he had been drinking and.. and i made him angry.. i said no and he got angry.. and he.. he.." she stops talking and wipes the tears away from her face gently, pushing her fringe back behind her ear. A nasty purple bruise showed across her cheekbone. she made no clear effort to cover it with any make-up, but it didn't really seem like she could hide it. Anna saw it and snapped, muttering furiously.
"i.. you... see, what did i tell you?! i said he would hurt you, i just... i didn't think.. i wasn't expecting this!" her voice rose to a dull roar. standing up sharply she began to pace the room to calm herself down. She did several laps before stopping. Miss Swanson was silent, she was either expecting this to happen or she was just too shocked to do anything. She even put her pen down and placed her hands in her lap, twiddling her thumbs.
"please don't tell me he.. " Anna inquired, "you know, got what he wanted." she looked to the door, knowing that the boy who did this, was sat right outside. Anna was glad for the soundproof walls of the councillors office so Ben wouldn't expect the fury that Anna was willing to unleash.
"no, no he didn't. he kinda snapped into his senses and then walked off. he apologized and everything though." Anita grabbed some tissues from the desk, expressing some sympathy towards his actions.
"Well if he remembered everything then he was clearly in some sort of conscious mind to control himself. And you always seem to forget he is a born liar." Anna slammed her fist into the storage cupboard. Miss Swanson seemed to snap out of her virtual reality with Anna's brutal action.
"young lady, i'm going to have to sign you up for anger management classes. you seem completely out of control of your own actions." Miss Swanson started scribbling notes down furiously on her pad of paper. 
"you know what, fuck this!" she threw her arms up in disgust," i don't really care if you sign me up for anger management or whatever. all i know is that that boy" she points to the door "need punishing. and im willing to serve him that revenge. so guess what i'm going to do now" she strolls carelessly to the door, reaches for the handle and pauses looking back at the councillor. She just waved her hand in a 'shoo' motion.
"i'll have nothing to do with this, as long as i dont see it." miss Swanson winks mischievously.
"no, you cant just let her. Anna doesn't even know her own strength, or his!" Anita stood up sharply and bent to clutch her thighs, clearly also sore with bruises. She starts trying to walk over to Anna but she opens the door. Anna and Anita both gasped at the sight they saw. Anna covered her mouth and stepped out in horror.
"omg, i didn't think! The walls are soundproof but that works both ways." Anna shot Anita a pitiful look, full of regret. "what the fuck is happening?!" Anita grabs the back of her head, face creasing with pain. 
"i know you never swear but i heard that." Anna nervously joked. "Oh shit! Brody, Ben... Stop! Stop!" They both involuntarily ran forward.
