The Wretched And Divine
Hello My Hate
ALEX'S POV
Lunch had arrived fairly quickly and we were now seated at our table. I didn't want to eat but Andy and the guys insisted i get something, so i finally agreed on getting a salad. As i was picking at the salad, i saw Craig roughly drag Ronnie by the back of the neck out of the lunchroom. Ronnie looked extremely scared and close to tears. I felt so bad for the poor kid. About 10 minutes later i saw Craig come back in, except without Ronnie. I was suddenly worried about him.
"I'll be right back, okay?" I turned to Andy.
"I'm coming with you." He said sternly. I shook my head and place a hand on his shoulder.
"Andy, i'll be fine. I'm just going to throw my food away. You'll still be able to see me." I reasoned. He glanced over to the closest trash can and sighed at how it was across the cafeteria, near the doors leading to the hallway.
"Fine. But i'm not taking my eyes off you." I nodded and laughed before kissing him. I got up with my stuff and made my way over to the trash can, throwing my half eaten salad away. I stopped as i heard a soft cry come from the hallway. Ronnie popped into my mind almost instantly. I ran for the doors and pushed them open, running into the hallway. Sure enough, Ronnie was curled up on the floor crying. I rushed over to his side.
"Hey kid, are you okay?" He looked over at me and i gasped at how beaten up he was. He had a gash on his cheek, a bloody nose, bruising on his jaw, and a black eye. Ronnie didn't bother to respond, instead shaking violently. Andy burst through the door.
"I told you not to leave!" He exclaimed, not notcing the battered boy next to me.
"I heard crying and found Ronnie. Someone beat him up." I reasoned. He glanced over at Ronnie before slowly making his way to us.
"Ronnie, you alright?" Andy asked, gently rubbing Ronnie's arm. All he got was a whimper in reply.
"C'mon buddy, you gotta talk to me. How are you feeling?" He asked again.
"It h-hurts." Ronnie groaned. I felt my heart shatter knowing that Craig had unmercifully beaten this innocent kid up.
"Where does it hurt?" I asked. Ronnie looked up at me with glassy eyes.
"Everywhere." He whispered. His eyes went wide and he started trembling more than he already was.
"What? What is it?" I questioned, confused. He shakily raised his arm up and pointed behind me. Both Andy and I turned around. Andy growled, while i started shaking.
"Get up." Craig all but shouted, making Ronnie jump in my arms. Ronnie tried to, but screamed in pain and fell back.
"No, he's not going with you." Andy stated, standing up. Craig averted his gaze to Andy and glared at him.
"Yes, he is." Craig argued. I saw Andy ball his fists and new this wasn't gonna end well.

@Red Phoenix77 i wrote this back when i was about 13 (im 18 now) but i assume that my thought process was that vampires weren't undead, they were very much alive. also, i was very inexperienced when writing this story so i didn't put too much thought into things. maybe i'll re-write it one day! :)
