Save Me

Chapter 25

I haven't really realized yet what I did yesterday. I run to the soccer field filled with boys and teachers to Corbyn, climbed on him and kiss him right in front of them all. We kissed each other so passionately that it took me twenty minutes to manage to walk back to the Dance Club and start breathing again properly.

He seemed glad though at my spontaneous action and to be honest if I had to do it again...I would. It felt amazing and freeing at the same time and from what it seemed, he enjoyed it as much as I did.

"Hey," I hear Corbyn's voice and it's like an earthquake takes place inside of me just at the sound of his voice.

"Hi," I say turning around to him. I was letting my books to my locker when he came.

I open my mouth to ask how his day is so far but I stop. Am I supposed to ask that? Am I allowed to? It counts as a personal question, doesn't it?

"What is it?" he asks and I bite my lip.

"Can I ask how your day went or..." I leave the question unfinished and he cocks his head to one side smirking.

"I thought you were the spontaneous kind of girl,"

I grin finds its way to my lips as I talk. "I am, I just-"

The words don't come out as panic posses my whole body in a split of a second. The air leaves my lugs and my brain stops working.

The students part into two grounds as they let a tall boy come between them. I gasp as I notice his appearance. His right hand is put in a cast. His face has plenty of green and mauve bruises as they have started to fade away. He has a big mauve bruise around his left eye and only then do I notice that he doesn't walk but keeps stumbling as he makes his way further into the corridor.

Edward

When my brain starts operating, I turn to Corbyn in shock. His eyes are stuck to Edward as well but his expression is totally different from mine. A wicked smile covers his face and he looks pleased with himself to see him like that.

I recall the night after the incident asking Corbyn how hard he hit Edward and he said he must have broken a lot of bones and things would be bad but this is just...unbelievable.

Edward's eyes travel through the hallway and halt their movement when they find me and Corbyn. I gulp painfully trying not to collapse on the floor; repeating to myself that my angel is right next to me.

Just when I say the words, Corbyn leaves my side, and all my attempts at calming go to waste. I want to go after him but it's like my feet are stuck to the ground. I want to leave but my body disobeys me.

He moves through the crowd that separates for him, allowing him to walk and stand right in front of Edward. Edward's face pales as Corbyn gets closer but I see as his right fist balls and his eyes are blank with clear hate and rage. Corbyn, on the other side, is still smirking and but his smile sends cold down my spine.

I see as Corbyn's lips start moving and get that he must be talking. Unfortunately, I can't hear a thing from where I'm standing no matter how hard I try. I'm too far from them to able to hear. The room is covered in utter silence as all the students are watching them closely trying to listen to what Corbyn says.

Suddenly, he takes a step closer so he is face to face with Edward and the smirk falls. He moves and whispers something to Edward's ear and after glancing at him from the side, he walks past him causing him to lost his balance and stumble. Edward turns and follows Corbyn's figure as all the rest of us as he walks away.

His fist is still clenched, his body tensed, and his mouth a hard line as he stands there at the center of the corridor. His eyes quit staring at Corbyn and come back and find me. My heart is pounding fast and the only sound I hear is my quick breath and heartbeat. I shudder as memories of the same look revisit me. I feel his dirty hands on me as he touched me and rent my dress to shreds, his lips when he kissed my neck, and the way his body felt pressed against mine. My eyes prick due to the tears as fear gets the best of me.
