My Silent Words

Chapter 32 - Talk

Alexander's POV

After I went out of the gymnasium, I went to the bathroom because I really needed to pee. Like, so badly. I was really regretting the fact that I didn't use that 10 minute break earlier.

After I went out of the bathroom, I was about to head back to the awarding ceremony when I heard someone being punched along with curse words that cane flying over my ears.

I took a quick peak at the scene to see what was really going on.

It's just a quick peak, right?

When I finally found the source of the noise, I saw Roman and his gang punching a little kid. He was shorter than be but looked like he's at my age and he had a black hoodie on and had blonde hair with a now bruised face.

I really pity the boy and I can feel my anger towards Roman heat up.

If you can't be nice to that kid, you can't be nice to me either. I thought.

The little kid had just suffered enough. Before Roman could blow another punch at the boy's face, I quickly ran towards his direction and I pushed him away from the strike leaving me being hit by it.

I hissed in pain once I felt that punch that blew me off guard.

“Well, well. Look who's here.” Roman's friend said in an evil tone while they slowly walk towards my direction.

“Just in time little buddy, we were just talking about you.” another one said walking another step.

Once they really got close enough, Roman took the chance to grab me by my collar and brought me to my knees. He then punched me in the stomach which fucking hurt like hell. After the collision, I bent down to grab the injured part of my stomach but Roman just won't let me. In fact, he pulled me by my hair and kept me standing although my knees were shaking and couldn't stand anymore.

“You know what?” Roman said in an outraged tone. “Starting from the day you arrived here at school, you took everything from me. From the attention they give you, that was mine at first. The good talk they give you, that was supposed to be mine. The nice presents they give you, those were supposed to be mine.” he stopped and was now grabbing my neck making me difficult to breathe. “But you took all of it. So now, as we were planning, since that you took everything from me from the day you arrived, I suggest I take them all back.” he paused a bit. “And do you know who should be the one playing your role up there? Me! That should've been Me!, Me!, Me!, ME! BUT YOU TOOK ALL OF IT!!!” After his sentence took off, I received a punch that sent me flying a few steps from them. And when he picked up his pace, I received another punch, and another and another. Until I can feel my nose starting to let out something.

Of course it had to be blood, what else could it me?

As I sense people running towards our direction, I felt a sigh of relief.

Thank you

I can see Isaiah standing there a few steps away from us along with the other students and some teachers

“Roman! Stop this now!” Isaiah shouted.

“No! After he took everything from me? You expect me to just let it flow?” Roman retorted back.

“Yes! Don't you pity him?”

“Pity? Pity? What kind of word is that? Is there even that kind of word in the dictionary? Oh wait let me check” he pauses to put his fingers on his chin as if he's thinking. “Yes, there is pity on the dictionary.” he concluded

“Then why not use it?” Isaiah asked back

“Because it's not in my vocabulary.” After that, I received another blow from Roman's fist.

“NO!” Isaiah ran towards my direction trying to get in and save me but was stopped by Roman's friends who were cornering Isaiah preventing him from coming any closer. “Let me go!” Isaiah said but they didn't listen to his words.

Punch after punch, I received from Roman making my face really swollen by now.

Yet, I wasn't taking it anymore. I was sick of this kind of treating.

I forgave him that time and this is hot he'll repay me? Everything he has done to me, I forgave it all. Yet this is how he thanks me for it? How could he?!

Roman was about to blow another punch at me but before his fist could land on my swollen face, I cought his ball of hand with my bare ones in a tight grip.

I have just enough of you

He tries to yank it free but I kept my grip tighter and tighter every second. Another tight grip on his hand made his face hiss a little.

Serves you right.

“Let go of me!” he tries to yank it off but I didn't even dared to move one finger.

“No” I replied earning shock expressions and gasps from the people around me including Roman.

“D-did Y-you just–” I stopped him mid sentence. “Talk?” I finished it for him. “Yes, I can speak. And I just opened it up for everyone to know. I'm sick of pretending that I'm mute. I'm sick of being silent around everything I've noticed.
And most importantly, I'm sick of you beating me up, putting jokes on me like I'm some damn clown walking everyday in school. And did you know, Roman? How hard it is to forgive someone who just did an awful thing to me? Do you even know how hard it is that no matter how awful you did to me, I still forgave you? Yet this is how you repay me?!” I tighten my grip on his hand. He was now on a very painful state.

But he didn't even see the pain that I was in

“L-let me g-go, p-please. I b-beg of y-you. I-it h-hurts” he says in bridge of tears. “Hurt? Do you even know what hurt is? So this is how you view hurt for yourself when you can't even see the hurt in my eyes when I was in your current place. And you want me to pity you?” he nodded immediately with now a strain of tear on the side of his cheeks. “Lemme guess.” I placed my index and thumb on my chin copying Roman's action earlier. “Oops, I guess pity isn't in my vocabulary either, sorry Roman.” I dug my fingers deeper on his fist and I can see the blood that I made on his hand

“Ahhhh!!!” Roman shouted enduring the pain.

Serves you right. Oh wait, this ain't even close to half for what you did to me

As I dig a little closer, I took my advantage to punch him really hard on his face which sent him flying on the far side of the room we were in.

Before I can do any action, I felt myself get dizzy and before I knew it, I was now on the ground and can feel myself slowly get unconscious until my view went pitch black.

Hey people! How's it been? Sorry for the really late update. I've been drowned in school works since that classes have already started a few weeks ago so my schedule were occupied.

So as a catch up, I updated 2 chapters in one night (since I made the two chapters at night time). And also, I really hate making you wait for so long especially if my previous chapter would end in a cliff hanger which it did. So now, I just finished updating 2 chapters. Hope you had fun reading it. Vote and comment if you also loved this book. Thank you so much! Mwah:>> stay safe everyone!!!
