A Warrior Of Youth

Lissas POV

I sent the message off to Jake and tried to relax, but I couldn't.
I couldn't get Ella's words out of my head.
'You should have killed yourself, you should have killed yourself, you should have killed yourself'
I couldn't shake them. I felt this pain weighing on me.
Normally when I thought like this I could push them out, but this was different. They weren't going away. I tried to tune into my class, but my thoughts were clouded. All I hear was Ella's voice echoing in my head. Kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself.
Did I really fuck up things that much? Would it be better if I disappeared? Should I disappear?
She has every reason to hate me. I can't even hate her. I'm the one who came into this school and ruined everyone's lives.
I wanted to curl up and cry. I wanted to cut again.

Jakes POV

'I'll explain later.'
I'll explain later? Did that mean something happened? Was she actually in trouble?
I wasn't going to see her until lunch. Fuck. Anything could happen between now and then.
I spent all my classes worrying about Lissa. I couldn't stop fidgeting. I consistently looked at my phone to see if Lissa had messaged me again, but she didn't.
I glanced at the clock through my lesson before lunch and I could swear it was running slow on purpose.
"Dude, chill. She'll be fine. If something was really wrong she would have told you" Jinxx said trying to relax me, but he failed.
I watched the clock until the bell for lunch rang.
Me and Jinxx couldn't get out of the classroom fast enough. Jinxx ran behind me on the way to Lissa's locker. All of her troubles seem to be there.
We hurriedly rounded the last corner to Lissa's locker and I was relieved to see she was alone.
"Liss!" I yelled as I ran up to her.
She slammed her locker shut and opened her arms to hug me.
Her arms wrapped around my neck and her fingers dug into my back. I felt her body shake after a sob escaped her.
"Lissa, it's later. What happened? What's wrong?" I asked pulling away from her.
She looked up at me, but her expression turned sour when she saw Jinxx.
"What the hell are you doing here?! Come to tell me that I should kill myself?! Or are you gonna punch my head in?! Cause I rather that!" She shouted at him.
I was about to speak, but Jinxx spoke first.
"Hi, we haven't officially met. I'm Jinxx" he said extending a hand to her.
She looked at him, then to me, then him again.
"Lissa" she sniffled.
Jinxx took her wrists in his hands and bent down a little to look at her face. "Listen, I'm not like the others. I didn't believe the things they said about you. I thought they were being horrible. They shouldn't have done those things to you. Andy is taking the anger he has for Jake out on you. And I know you did nothing. I'm sorry for everything you have been through" Jinxx said simply, even though he hadn't done anything to her.
Lissa then did something neither of us expected. She hugged him.
I chuckled as I looked at Jinxx's confused face.
"Liss, hey, what happened?" I asked pulling her away from Jinxx.
She sniffled again and looked between us. "Ella was waiting for me this morning. When I saw I turned and walked the other way. She saw me and followed me. She started yelling at me and saying that if I never showed up you and Ella would have never broken up and that I should have killed myself like my brother" she choked up as the words came out her mouth. "She had the fucking nerve to bring my brother into it, so I slapped her hard. Then as soon as a teacher came along she went all cry baby to make the teacher feel bad for her" she said looking down at my hands. "Do you think its my fault?" She said looking at me.
"Of course not! No!" Was all I could say. I didn't have a reason.
"Lissa, Ella brought a lot of this on herself. Yes, she's the jealous type, but she didn't have to get physical about it" Jinxx said putting a hand on her shoulder.
She gave him a worried smile and hugged him again.
"So you decided to join the band of losers Jinxx?" I heard Andy ask snidely.
We all turned around and saw Andy, Ashley and CC standing behind us. Watching us.
"How long have you been there?!" I asked annoyed that they were eavesdropping.
"Long enough faggot" Ashley said sharply.
"Shut up Ash!" Jinxx snapped.
"Don't tell him to shut up! You're the one who should shut up! What the fuck you doing with these two?! She is fucking trouble! Don't let her take you too!" CC spat pointing at Lissa.
"Excuse me?! 'Take you too?!' I did no such thing! I never asked them to be my friends, they made that choice! If you don't agree with that then you guys are shitty friends! You can't even deal with them hanging out with someone else. Honestly I don't blame them for fucking you guys off. I would hate to have friends like you. Who turn on each other as soon as someone has their own opinion. And you can say you know me, but you don't! My brother was suicidal yes, but leave him the fuck out of this! It is fucking hard enough to move out here, no thanks to you! So fuck off and leave them alone!" She yelled at them.
Me and Jinxx just stared at her, but the others simply rolled their eyes.
"You done?" Ashley asked sarcastically.
Lissa just stared at him, confused by his answer.
"Bitch" Ashley muttered before slapping her and pushing her aside.
"Lissa!" I yelled.
I tried to help her, but Ashley pulled me back and punched me.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Andy start to beat up Jinxx.
Ashley was continuously punching and kicking me, but all I could concentrate on was CC holding Lissa back while she screamed at them.
"NO! STOP! YOUR HURTING THEM! STOP IT! STOP IT!" She screamed as she sobbed.
