I woke up at 11 o' clock. I already missed half the school day but I don't go at all Macy and Dan, my adoptive parents, will kill me so I got dressed in my school uniform, put a beanie over my head and headed out the door. The air was actually warm today and rushed over my skin making me feel a little bit better, after last night and then waking up from that horrible dream, I only had a few minutes of shower to wash off all the sweat and relax. I was glad when I saw no one in the front of the school but as soon as I got into the gates my breath caught in my throat as I saw the normal group of kids that bully me everyday. One of the girls smirked and whispered to her friends as I tried to hurry past them with no luck.
"Nice of you to join us, Remains." She sneered at me, and sauntered over. "We were sure you went and killed yourself already." She chuckled as a two other girls and three guys came over and circled around me, leaving me no where to run. They crowded around me.
"Too bad. I guess we'll have to do better this time." another girl giggled, and kicked me in the shin with her stiletto heel. I dropped to the ground losing my balance, as another heel collided with my rip cage. I held my stomach cowering over in pain but still didn't make a noise so they continued to hit and kick me till I did. I was crying and holding myself as I rolled into a ball on the ground when I heard a familiar voice.
"What the fuck are you people doing?" He yelled at them as they backed away from me. I felt pools of wetness surround me as blood seeped threw my shirt. "Leave her alone." he yelled at them, walking over me. I opened my eyes a bit to see Andrew.
"Aww, don't bother with at mute bitch." one of the girls cooed brushing her arm over his shoulder.
"Get away from him you fake ass hoe." another boy growled, walking up to Andrew, and kneeling down next to him. Jake Pitts? Okay, this is weird. "Is this the girl we are looking for?" Jake asked Andrew, Andrew just nodded as he looked down at me. They were looking for me?
"Can you get up?" Andrew asked me. I nodded and slowly pushed myself up to I was on my hands and knees, and used Andrew to steady myself enough to to stand up.
"What's her name?" Jake asked one of the girls still surrounding us. She fluttered her eyelashes at him.
"Remains Kolb, and mine is Ashley-" Jake cut her off.
"Of course it is." he said coldly, Andrew chuckled and held on to me.
"We better go get her patched up, make sure nothing is broken." Jake told Andrew, he nodded and held me up, Jake taking my other arm and slowly pulled me to a car. Two other guys sat in the back seat, Jake laid me down on them. My head in Ashley's lap and my legs curled up in CC's, while Andrew got into the drivers side and Jake in the passenger's.
"What the hell happened?" CC asked, looking down at me.
"Well obviously Andy gets hard to damsels in distress." Jake joked and Andrew growled at him. Ashley chuckled.
"Ah, that's a new fetish." Ashley said chuckling. I wanted to laugh but it hurt to much. The car ride was silent for moment while Andrew was glaring at them till he pulled into a driveway. I couldn't move, so Ashley picked me up in his arms and carried me into the house. He set me down on a couch as Jake and CC went into the other room getting any first and stuff they could find, Ashley left to get me some water while Andrew keeled down beside me and pet my head with his big gloved hands. I looked up at him, staring into his eyes, wondering why he was at my school. He just smiled.
"I was worried about you, I guess it was a good thing I was." he told me, totally blowing my mind that he could actually read what I was thinking. He kissed my forehead and took a damp towel from Jake and pat it on my forehead and neck, he moved down to my shirt and hesitated. "Do you mind?" he asked, I shook my head and let him unbutton my sweater and dress shirt, drabbing the big bloody gash on my stomach. I flinched in pain as he touched my rip cage, but didn't let out a sound. He noticed and asked CC for some bandages. He started cleaning around the bruise on my rib cage. "Sorry, this is going to hurt." he told me, I nodded. Andrew lightly, as best as he could without hurting me to much, bandaged my side keeping my bones in place so the bruise will heel. Andrew fixed the rest of my cuts and bruises with no problem and Ashley handed me a bottle of water and Tylenol pain medication. I swallowed it and laid back on the couch. "Now why don't you rest, while I make you something to eat." Andrew told me, petting my hair. I nodded and closed my eyes. "Good night." he whispered and I drifted into a painless sleep.
