"You can't be serious David!" Jake's voice rang through the empty dorm room.
"I made my decision Jake and it was to help him!" I snapped at him. Barty was upstairs asleep. So we're the rest of the kids. It was only me, Jake, and Sam.
"Jake just let it go! David is someone who helps and if you can't see that when why don't you go to bed?!" Sam shot at him.
"Because Sam his life could be in danger because that stupid man-"
"HE'S NOT STUPID!" I yelled at Jake. It was quiet for a minute. Then the door opened and a small boy with bright blonde hair came down looking at us.
"The kids are picking on Barty... Me and Aiden tried to stop them."
I walked past the boy and went up the stairs. I bursted into the bedroom and all the kids shut up, what was heard was crying from the far corner. I walked over there and I saw Barty his knees tight against his chest with his hands over this ears and he was sobbing. I made a death glare at the kids. "Unbelievable! Who do you people think you are?!" I looked back at Barty and I noticed Aiden was knelt down beside him. I walked over and sat next to Barty. "Barty.... Its okay.... I'm here now..." I gave the kids a death glare again and they all looked down. I soon stood up and helped Barty up, he was still crying, I couldn't believe how rude these kids could be. I walked with Barty and Aiden down to the dorm room when I came to find the headmaster there. "Headmaster?"
"Someone said there was yelling."
I swallowed. "It was nothing..."
Later one after the headmaster an do sorted everything out the headmaster left. Barty sat in front of the fireplace, I could hear him sniffling from time to time. I looked at Sam, Sam looked at Jake. That'd when Jake make a move.
"YOU STUPID LITTLE-!" Jake had made a dash for Barty. Barty covered himself but never got hit, I had pushed Jake against the wall hard.
"Touch him and I swear I'll beat you to the ground!" I was so angry, and I was being serious. Sam soon came over and pulled me off of Jake. Jake had a surprised look on his eyes and he quickly ran up to the bedroom. I went over to the fireplace to find that Barty had somehow fallen asleep, so I sat on the couch. Sam sat next to me.
"Were you being serious about beating up Jake?"
I looked at Sam. "Of course I was... Its just... I've become protective over Barty.. He's gone through so much and I don't want him going through anymore of it."
"Jake doesn't understand..."
I set my head on Sam's shoulder. "I know... I see a ri thought I was gonna slap him."
Same chuckles. "If you didn't then I probably would have."
Barty then woke up and looked at me and Sam. "I'm going to bed."
Same nods. "Okay the kids should be asleep now."
I looked at Sam. Barty looked at me then at Sam. "Okay." Barty smiles and got up going to the bedroom, once Barty closed the bedroom door I looked at the fireplace. Sam looked at me. "Funny, we always are the last one's awake."
I smiled and looked at Sam again. "Yeah... We are..." For some reason I could feel my heart beating out of my chest. I didn't know why. I think Sam noticed because he looked away from me then looked at me again. We stayed quiet for a moment and just looked at each other. We were scilent for the rest of the night until we both went to bed.
The next morning me and Sam tried our best to avoid Jake when we were with Barty. But having Sam helping me helped things. Barty seemed more happy and so was I.
