Chapter 7

"YOUR MOVING TO WHERE?" Max yelled when I told him the next morning.

"To the twins house." I said with a sigh.

"Wow just wow. Do they know?" He asked.

"I don't know. I hope so because I don't want them being pissed at me for ruining their lives.

"You don't ruin peoples lives, Skyler. Just because we are friends hasn't ruined my life. I have friends besides you and nothing has happened to me. You are my best friend and I don't care who like it or not." He said looking at me with sad eyes. I hated his sad eyes it made me want to hug him if I could handle being touched I would.

"But they are like really popular and always have people over at their house. If their friends see me they will freak. Maybe they have a room in the basement or attic I can have and that way I can hid out in my room all the time until I can move." I said looking over the parking lot as we pulled in. Zander and Xavier were standing in a group of football players talking and goofing around. I will not ruin that for them.

"Are you still going to try and stay with me this weekend?" He asked.

"Yeah, but I have to pack and move my stuff." I said frowning at the thought.

"I can help you." He said once we parked.

"NO, no fucking way are you going in that house on a weekend." I said with out thinking.

"Why?" He asked.

"Don't worry about it I don't have much so it will only take a hour or so." I said smiling at him even though I was panicking on the inside.

"Okay if you say so. I will see you in lunch. He said locking the car and heading off to where ever it is he goes in the morning.

"Yeah, see ya." I said walking in towards the door forgetting all about Steve and Nic.

"So you think its funny to be a tattle tail?" Steve said as soon as I walked through the first set of doors.

"Did you get in trouble? I asked him. "No I didn't think you did." I said with out him answering. " You know I thought out of the two sets of bullies I deal with you guys would be smarter then this. If and let me tell you it would never happen but if I was to tell on you guys you wouldn't be standing here getting ready to beat the shit out of me would you? No you would be at home waiting for the next school year to come around so you could find some one else to fuck with. So either get to the beating or leave me the fuck alone." I said looking him right in the eyes.

I really shouldn't have said it because when the arms pinned me from behind I knew it was going to hurt like hell. I felt the first blow hit my stomach and the second one the left side of my face. It all burned and was a blur after that but I do remember some one coming a long and stopping it. When I finally could open my eyes I was in the nurses office lying on the little cot with ice on my head and something warm on my body. I opened my eyes and the room was dim thankfully because my head was killing me. 

"You're awake. How do you feel?" Nurse Jackie asked.

"My head is killing me." I crocked out my throat was really dry.

"Well I have called Mrs. Croft and she said you could have an Advil until she can get you in to see the doctor. She is going over the paperwork with Mr. Thomas right now and then you guys will be going to the doctor to get you checked out. Oh no, that is not happening. The Crofts are not paying my bills.

"All I need is the Advil and I will be fine." I said trying to sit up.

"Lay down, Skyler." I heard some one behind me say.
