A Warrior Of Youth

Chapter Twelve: A world of pain

Lissas POV

Monday morning came too soon. Before I knew it, I was in the school parking lot ready to face the day. I sat in my car a moment longer and dropped my face in my hands.
What would they do to me today?
I took a deep breath and hesitantly got out of my car.
Here we go.

Up until lunch, nothing.
Andy and Scout's group didn't bother me. They would give me stares and say something, but no one approached me.
I figured if they were going to hurt me, they would have done it by now.
I went to my locker before I met up with Sandra and Jake for lunch when I heard footsteps coming down the hall. I ignored them at first, thinking they were just randoms, but next thing I knew there were hands on my back, shoving me.
"I thought you killed yourself you emo slut" Scout spat.
I sighed as I composed myself and turned around to see Scout, Andy and Ashley surrounding me. "No, I thought I'd save myself the trouble, so you can kill me" I tried to say sarcastically.
"Well you failed at it. At least your brother knew how to do it" Ashley said snidely.
I was shocked for a moment. This is what Jake meant. They knew about Benji and what he did.
"I never tried to kill myself! And leave my brother out of this!" All joking and sarcasm gone.
"That's what you say. And why would we? You couldn't leave Jake alone" Andy said with a harshness in his tone.
"Oh fuck off! He talked to me! Really it shouldn't be any of your business!" I yelled, but they were slowly inching towards me.
"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT! You're in my school now, freak!" He yelled in my face. My back was pressed up against the lockers and Andy was leaning over me.
He had one hand on the lockers beside my head and other was on my throat, almost choking me.
I swallowed hard and tried to keep my eyes stern.
"Or what?" I said shakily.
"Or you'll be in a world of pain. Trust me, you're not far off" he tightening his hand around my throat.
"Andy stop!" Relief engulfed me when I heard Jake's voice.
"Oh hey Jake, glad you could join us" Andy said sarcastically. "This little emo freak thinks she can do whatever the fuck she wants. Including fucking with us. Come on Jake, you can't tell me you don't wanna punch her out" He said trying to redeem their friendship.
Jake's eyes flickered between myself, Andy, Ashley and Scout. I could see him thinking about it. He hated me for this. I had fucked up his life, I wouldn't blame him if he did turn on me.
I closed my eyes and focused on breathing. The longer Jake took to respond, the tighter Andy's hand closed around my neck.
Suddenly the pressure was gone and Andy was on the ground.
"Run Liss!" Jake shouted as he grabbed my wrist to pull me away from the lockers.
I glanced over my shoulder and saw Andy holding his hands to his face, with Scout and Ashley hovering over him.
Jake was on my heels as we ran in the opposite direction. We rounded a corner and Jake pulled me into a hug.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Thank you for saving me" I said wrapping my arms around him tightly.
"What happened? Why was Andy trying to choke you?" He said pulling away and inspecting my neck.
"I told him to fuck off and that it was your choice to talk to me. He thinks I took you away from him" I said cringing at where Jake touched my neck.
"Hardly. I knew you were trouble. I had to be in the middle of it" he said cracking a smile.
I couldn't help but laugh with him.
"Jake..." I said as our laughter faded. "I don't want you getting hurt in all this. If I asked, would you leave me alone?" I asked with an uncertainty.
"I don't think I can. We're in too deep. If you go down, I'm going down with you" he said placing his hands on my waist.
I felt his hands trace the sides of my lower ribs. His fingers going into every gap. His facial expression changed to curiousity when he could tell something was different.
"Have you been lo-" he started to say, but Sandra cut him off.
"Hey guys. Where have you been?! I've been sitting on my own like an idiot waiting for this one to come back!" She said motioning at Jake. As she got closer I saw her gasp. "Oh my God! What the hell happened to you?! Your neck is bruising up!"
My hand flew to my neck and it felt tender to my touch. I ran to the nearby bathrooms to check it on the mirror. Sandra entered seconds after me.
"Lissa, what did they do?"
"Andy tried choking me" I stated. I didn't bother elaborating.
"You have to report them! This is getting out of hand! You can't let them d-" I cut her off.
"DO WHAT?! Beat me? Cause that's what they are doing. There's no point reporting them cause it will get worse! And not just for me. For you and Jake too, so keep your mouth shut" I said defensively.
Sandra looked stunned once again by my outburst. She then simply asked. "Are you okay?"
"I'm okay. They just scared me" I said turning to the mirror and taking my hair out of its bun to hide the forming bruises. "Can you see any marks?" I asked.
"No" she said quietly.
"Good. Look I'm sorry I've been snappy lately, it's just this is all new to me. I have never felt this depressed. I'm starting to understand how my brother felt" I said sadly.
"It's okay. I get like that too. And hey, it will get better. I promise" She said giving me a small smile.
"Has it for you? You still cut" I stated.
"Yeah, well, I've been through a lot of shit. Your not going to. How have you been feeling about... You know..." She said, implying my vomiting.
"I just don't eat. I can't risk it."
"Sweetie, you're going to waste away. Your already looking thinner."
"I'm fine. We better get back to Jake. I want to go to music class early, so I can practice a bit before Andy and Scout get there."
"Since when do we go early?" Sandra questioned.
"Since I would actually like to do well" I said dragging her out of the bathroom.
"Right" she said sarcastically.
Jake was waiting patiently against the wall fro us to rejoin him.
"Can you see the marks with my hair down like this?" I asked him.
"Little bit. Just don't move your head too much. What are you gonna say if someone notices?" Jake said crossing his arms.
I hadn't thought that far ahead. "They won't" I said shrugging it off.

We made our way to our music class and prayed Andy wouldn't try anything on us. But our worries were for nothing when we saw Scout turn up without Andy.
I relaxed, knowing Scout wouldn't try anything on me, but it had caused me to forget about the bruising on my neck. I shifted my hair to one side, leaving the marks on full display for Mr Evans as he walked past me.
"Lissa, what are those marks on your neck?!" He said loud enough for surrounding students to turn their heads, including Scout.
Before I could say a word Scout answered for me.
"Sir, she chokes herself. Look at how fat she is. She needs to lose weight somehow" Scout said bluntly.
"Scout! That is very insensitive!" Mr Evans yelled before turning to me. "Is this true Lissa? Are you doing this to yourself?"
I glanced up at Scout who was giving me a death glare. Demanding me to not say anything about Andy. But then I would need to confess to purging.
I had to own up to one ugly truth...
"Ummm..."

I hate endings too, but all stories must end somewhere. I know it was sad and all that shiz :P but I just thought not all stories have a happy ending. And thank you so much! I'm glad you still like it and dont hate me for killing Lissa. That was hard. I had originally thought for her to commit suicide, but then thought, what if she gets what she wants and goes home, but something as simple and common as a car crash seemed to kind of fit better with the whole being insignificant issue.

@dead_on_the_inside
I know guys. You probably hate for doing that, but yeah.. if you read above in the other reply I explain my reasons. It just fit. I really wanted to kind of show that the Gandhi quote may be true in a way, but everything you do creates a ripple effect.

@TheOutlawAndAndy!! @bvbchika
Awwwww thank you! I was getting really sad when I wrote the part where Jake finds out.. They had just declared their love for each other again and the most horrific accident happens. I'm glad you like my last bit. I wanted to contradict the Gandhi quote cause not everything is insignificant.

It's weird when all you guys say I'm a good writer. I just get ideas. I don't know how or why, I just do. This is just a creative outlet for me that I love to do.
You guys can read my other stories if you haven't already.. My next story will be a spin off about CC and Kimber.... Already have ideas for them hahah
Thank you so much for commenting guys! I was freaking out when I saw 7 new comments and reading them makes me so happy! So literally, thank you so fucking much! I love you guys :) <3
