Jays POV:
I didn’t end up going to the party yesterday, I figured since I beat the shit out of Justin my Invitation would probably be null and void at this point. Nowadays Ive just been confused about everything. I should be bummed that I didn’t go, but I didn’t mind one bit, In fact since Amy wasn’t going to go I didn’t WANT to go in the first place. I’m not the same person I was back at my old school, I used to gossip with the girls and teases the nerds and emo’s, I used to go to party’s just for the sake of whoever’s there even if I didn’t know any of them. Although I never Physically bullied a kid before and neither did any of my pears, I don’t think I would have done anything If they did, at least nothing like what I did to Justin. Maybe it was my dads death that changed me, maybe it was moving or the fact that I had to step up as the big brother. But I’m not complaining about it, I like the new me.
Currently it’s Saturday. I haven’t seen Asher In school since the fight, that was on Thursday, and I’ve been stressing about it since. So I did the only logical thing, called Amy over.
I’m literally pacing my room. She said she was on her way 15 minutes ago but thats honestly been to long, I’m going to be dead with worry by the time she gets here. 10 minutes later I’m still alive thankfully and I hear the door bell ring, multiple times, it’s definitely Amy.
Leaping down the stairs I get to the door to see its already open by my mum.
“Hello, what can I help you with?”my mother asks, to which Amy wares a smug smile she makes before doing something stupid.
“Oh, umm well you could in fact Miss Walker. I’m here to see your extremely annoying son because he would absolutely die with out me apparently. His words not mine.”She raised her hands up in surrender. To say my mother was beyond curious at this point would be an understatement.
“I’m sorry, Are you his girlfriend or something? I mean that would totally be ok and all, but just to be on the safe side I’d have to ask-“
“Mum!? She’s not my girlfriend, shes just A friend.”I felt it would have been an appropriate time to intervene before my mum embarrassed every soul in the house.
“Oh, well ok then.”she realised that I wasn’t lying after staring into my face for like a minute.
“Oh my lord! I am so sorry I should let you in, how stupid of me. Come come miss?”
“Amy”
“well come on in Amy”she ushered Amy inside the house and them turned to close the door. I grab Amy’s arm and drag her away to my room while shouting ‘thank you, ‘love you’ and ‘goodbye’ to my mother as I climb the steps.
“SO. What was so important you would invite me to this extremely expensive looking house borderline mansion you call home?”She asked as soon I close the door and shes found a comfortable position on my bed.
“Also I take it your mum doesn’t exactly know you gay?”she cuts in before I could answer the first question.
“Umm well no, not exactly.”
“Okay. Now answer the first question.”she demanded
“Well as you know, Asher hasn’t been I school since the fight and I was really worried he might be really hurt, or maybe he’s scared of me you know, maybe I scared him away”I spill out all under one breath.
“oookay then. I guess I was wrong.”
“wrong about what?”
“That you had a crush on this boy. Your fucking in love with him!!!!”she squeezed the last part.
“WHAT!!!, thats crazy I haven’t even had a single conversation yet, he’s still a complete mystery to me!”
“EXACTLY!!!”She practically screamed, that just made me even more confused.
“You haven’t had a single conversation, yet you still worry about him this much. You still wan’t to get to know him even though he’s afraid of you. Bitch you can’t argue with the facts, YOU. LOVE. ASHER!!!”
“Uuuuuuggggg”I flop down An my bed and bury my head in the fluffy pillow.
“Your not helping by the way, you just a pain in the ass.”I mumble out through the pillow.
“Hey Jay who was at the do-“My sister comes barging into my room to see Amy.
“Umm, hi.”She awkwardly greets, them immediately turning to me.
“I though you were gay?”She just blurts out.
“WHAT THE- why is everyone assuming shes my girlfriend. She is a GIRL who is a FRIEND!!”I snap back at her.
“Ok, jeez. Anyway hello, umm….”
“Amy.”she stuck her hand out to shake, to which Lily gladly took and entered my room completely.
“Well since you obviously already know that this dimwit is gay, do you happen to know who he got a crush on?”
“HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW!!!!???” I shout at her in utter disbelief.
“I’m not as stupid as you, I can tell when me brother is head over heels for someone, so spill I wanna know.”she calmly states like its no big deal.
“NO, I ain’t telling y-.”I shut her down but Amy contradict me at the same time.
“His names Asher.”
For the next three hours I got bombarded with questions and squealing and all that fan girl shit. Thank the lord they took the suggestions go to the mall, and so we went to the mall, movies and grabbed a tone of stuff to eat through out the rest of the day. And it was just fun, to hang out with my sister and Amy, there was no drinking or stupid games and dares, there was no rowdy teens doing shit we knew we were going to get in trouble for. All we did was have fun with out all that, with out having the need to satisfy everyone around me. And I fucking loved it.
*time skip*
Monday came knocking way to fast for my liking, I will never understand why weekends have to end. I got up 10 minutes late so I shower and get ready for school at the speed of lightning, literally. Flying down the stairs Lily Is sitting on the table with mum with her empty plate in front of her, unlike me she woke up on time and is completely ready to leave.
“Well get of your ass, we gotta go!”I said in an amusing tone just trying to piss her off for the fun of it, grabbing a granola bar and a bar of chocolate and shoving it in my pocket.
“HEY! I’m ready it’s you who’s late!”
“Say what ever you believe sis, but next time set you alarm right.”She’s practically turning as red as a tomato, but doesn’t any anything, just grabs her jacket and storm right past me out the house.
“Jeez talk about sensitive. Eh, BYE MUM WERE LEAVING!!!”I shout before going to my car to start the 10 drive to school.
We arrive just as the bell rings, I had to sprint to biology. Bursting through the door trying to catch my breath, all the students are already here, and the teacher.
“Mr Walker, mind explaining why your late and attempted to avoid detention?” Mr Smith asks in a board tone.
“Well Sir, I have exactly 38seconds until class starts, so I’m not late.” I answer honestly, I’m aware I’m a tad bit cocky but this is hight school and in a teenager, what would you expect. He sighed and rolled his eyes, clearly not in the mood for an argument, so I took this as a chance to take my seat. As I scan the room my eyes land on the one person I was praying to see. Asher.
I take the seat beside him, but he doesn’t notice me at all, he’s just staring into nothing looking absolutely lost, he’s not even blinking.
“Ok class….”The teacher announced and I see/ hear Asher jump 10f in the freaking air. At first he’s eyes dart around the room in panic until they land on me. I give him a sympathetic smile and stare into his mesmerising eyes that hold a million emotions I cant quite put my finger on. Bu they were also surrounded with red, sore skin like he rubbed them to no end.
“You ok?”I ask, he nods his head and looks back to the front of the class.
“So today were studying Fungi that is both unicellular and multicellular. To do this we will be going into the woods behind the school to collect sample mushrooms to study. With that being said I expect that you all behave like civilised human beings other wise you WILL be spending lunch in detention. I’m I clear?”Mr Smith explained. The class erupts in noise as everyone gets up and starts heading out the door following the teacher.
We exit the building and into the cold brisk air of winter, and start heading to the woods. My eyes haven’t left Asher, he’s walking in front of me as we enter the woods and spread out. To prevent him from thinking I’m both a creep and a bully I stay a few feet away from him at all times but I still glance over his direction from time to time.
All of a sudden I notice he starts to sway from side to side before completely giving way. I get to him just in time to catch his head before It hits the ground.
“SIR!!!! SIR AHSER JUST COLLAPSED!!!” I shout but I don’t get a response as more students start staring like mindless morons.
“For the love of fuck! Could one of you useless pieces shits go and tell Mr Smith I’m taking him to the nurse!!!”I say as I gently start to pick him up in my arms. I see one of the girls run off to get the teacher from the corner of my eye as I start to carry him back to the school.
Holding him is probably one of the scariest things I’ve ever done in my life! he was so small and light, he weighed nothing. I can feel every single one of his bones, his spine, his arms, everything. I stare down at his perfect skin and notice his cheek bones also sticking out slightly. What the fuck??
Asher’s POV:
My eyes are still closed, but I can feel my self moving. Am I having a dream? What is going on?. eventually I gather the strength to lift my eye lids excruciatingly slow. The first thing I see is the grey, dark sky. The second thing I see is a denim jacket collar and a very defined jaw line. Wait a sec. no no no no this can’t be happening!
He notices that I’m awake and panicking like crazy due to the fact that my heart os currently going 100 miles and hour.
“c-ca-can y-you….can y-you p-pu-put, put……m-m-me…m-me d-down!”I, not so calmly ask through my stutters, honestly its a miracle he even under stood what I said, but he did. We were in the middle of one of the school hall ways and he slowly set me down against the lockers.
“I need to get you to the nurse.”he calmly stated, which was new, no one actually asks me anything, if they want me to do it they wouldn’t give me a choice. But there is no way in going to the nurse. I vigorously shake my head as a response. If I go to the nurse she going to see every think, and if she dose shes going to call dad. And THAT is not a good thing.
“N-no, p-pl-please.”
He’s about to object until he sees the fear evident in my eye’s, but he never completely gave in.
“Look you need to get checked up, you just fainted an- OH MY GOD!!! your bleeding!!!” He shrieked. I was confused until I saw red slowly soak my grey shirt on my left side if my torso, were he cut me pretty bad. I already disinfected it a wrapped it as much as possible so I have no idea why its bleeding again.
“Fuck no were going to the nurse now!” I could see the panic in his emerald eyes. I felt a warm feeling inside at the thought that he’s worried about me, but thats not enough to convince me to go the the nurse, there is nothing that would make me do that.
“N-NO!!!!”I attempted to shout and sound some what stern, but that failed considering I’m tiny and pathetic and my voice doesn’t have the capability of getting that deep or loud. So he just ignored everything and tried to pick my up again despite my measly protests.
He held on to me with an iron grip. As we neared the nurses office I felt my heart rate and anxiety spike through the roof, I’m pretty sure he could feel my heart but didn’t care as he kept a fast pace. I counted the time it would take for us to arrive, the time until my life is going to get a while lot worse. Two more halls left, the fear took me into its grasp and I felt like I could barely breath.
I swear I have no Idea were the energy came from, adrenaline maybe but I really don’t care. I suddenly gathered all my strength and pushed/ rolled my self out of his arms and fell to the floor rather painfully but I didn’t hit my head which is a plus. Not wasting any time I shot up attempt to run as fast as my legs would take me, which wasn’t very far.
I just about get two halls down when the wave of chills and dizziness flood through every inch of my body, pulling me to a stop and swaying slightly. My sight is obscured my vision with black yet colourfull spots until I wasn’t aware of the fact that I was falling, or the fact that the same strong arms caught me, again.
I didn’t fully pass out so soon I wasn’t as weak and dizzy and the spots slowly cleared, to see I’m back on the floor with my back pressed against the lockers, and a very muscular god of a boy hovering above me. Oh god please brain this is not time to be a horny teenager. I don’t get that pleasure in my life.
For a while I didn’t realise Ive been staring into his eyes for the past couple of minutes, and he was staring back. Breaking eye contact I try to get up again but he gently pushes my back down.
“Look….If you really don’t want to go to the nurse for what ever reason then I can’t make you. But I can’t let you go if your like this ok?”I nodded slightly, grateful that he isn’t going to make me go there.
“So. Your coming with me.”He stated. Coming with him? Were? Oh god is he going to take me to some ally and try to beat me? Or KILL ME!!!!
“Hey!, hey calm down ok!? Your either going to the nurse or your coming to my house. Thats your options because I’m not leaving you understand! I’m not going to hurt you I promise, I’ll never hurt you.”He practically pleads. To his house? Ok maybe he won’t kill me, considering he did just catch me both time I just fell.
“O-ok”I wheeze out. He looked relived and slowly lifts me off the floor to my feet, being mind full of my side that has stopped bleeding I think, but it still hurts like hell. And he wraps my arm around his waist and his around mine as he guides me to the parking lot, taking most of my weight.Â
