A Warrior Of Youth

Lissas POV

I had every right to be nervous to go to school today.
I was considering faking being sick, but then it would be worse tomorrow. Jake will probably had told the whole school by then. I hope he has some respect for me to not say anything, but I wasn't counting on it. He has probably rejoined his other friends and will contribute in hassling me.
After ten minutes of arguing with myself on whether to get out of bed or not, I slowly sat up and let my feet touch the floor.
I rummaged my closet for dark purple skinny jeans and black knit jumper. I left my hair as it was, down and messy. Only adding my black beret and shoving on my black combat boots.
It had started snowing over the last few days, so it had been freezing outside. I hated winter.
My parents had already left for work so I trudged out of the house without being forced to have breakfast. Today was going to be hard enough without me having to throw up my food.
As I got into my car I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. It was a text from Jinxx
Hey, are you coming to school today? I don't to leave you alone today
I smiled at the text. It was cute he cared about me so much. I quickly wrote him back.
Yeah, I am. But don't hang around me too much. I don't want them hurting you. If Jake has told everyone, I'm going to be their target. Don't get in their way. I can't have you getting hurt cause of me.
I started the car and drove to quickly pick up Sandra and headed to school.

I drove to the far side of the parking lot to avoid Andy and the rest of their group.
"Do you see Jake's car?" I said as I passed where he normally parks.
"Umm, yeah. It's near Andy's. I think I see them talking" she said as she gazed out the window.
"Shit."
"You still haven't told me what happened. Like you guys just broke up like that" she said snapping her fingers. "No reason behind it."
"Well... There is a reason. And since you're going to hear about some time today, I might as well tell you" I said pulling into a space and killing the engine.
"I'm waiting."
"I'm pregnant" I said simply, staring straight at her.
She looked completely stunned. "Well that was unexpected..."
"I know. I just get the feeling that the condom broke when we first did it, I don't know. When I told him he lashed out at me and threatened to kill it if I didn't, even though I had already said I would get an abortion."
"Well that was a bit harsh."
"He was just being a dick. Saying how much he had given up to be with me. I just said I had never asked him to and that's when he got violent."
"Whoa! I had never thought Jake would go there" she said surprised.
"Ditto. I'm just really scared today if they try anything with me."
"It's okay, I'll protect you" she said giving me a smile.
"Thanks hun. I just don't want them to hurt you too" I said opening the car door and letting the cold air fill my car.
We got out the car and I looked over to where Andy and Jake were. I instantly got chills down my spine because I couldn't see them.
"What the fuck. They were there a minute ago! Where are they?!" I said starting to freak out.
"Lissa, it's fine. They are probably inside."
I looked around nervously before walking away from my car and catching up with Sandra.
As we walked into the main building I noticed everyone give me looks and shaking their heads. Some of them stared, others even looked at my stomach.
They all knew.
Even the seniors were giving me looks and none of them knew me.
What if a teacher found out? They would tell my parents for sure. Hopefully Jake didn't go that far. He wouldn't be so cruel... Would he?

During lunch I had realised I had left my biology textbook in my car. I really didn't wanna go on my own, but Sandra was still in class and I hadn't seen Jinxx today yet.
I quickly jogged out to the far side of the car park and unlocked my car. I climbed into the backseat to grab it and quickly ducked back out.
What I hadn't realised was that I was followed.
When I turned around I was faced with Andy, Scout, Ella and Jake.
"Come to kill me?" I said sarcastically, trying to hide my fear.
"I should kill you" Jake retorted.
"You don't mean that. I told you I was going to get an abortion, but somehow that wasn't enough for you. Now you've gone and told the whole school I'm pregnant and you're not going to be able to prove it cause I've already scheduled the appointment."
"Do it Jake. Just hit her. You know you want to. Then order will finally be restored. You'll be back with us. Forget Jinxx. If he wants to be a loser like her, let him" Andy ranted.
I watched Jake and I saw his fists shaking. He was conflicting with himself. He wanted to be back in Andy's good books, but I knew he didn't want to hurt me.
"Just do it Jake. I wouldn't blame you. I fucked up. I've said that from the start" I said giving him a look of defeat.
"See Jake. Even she believes she fucked up. If you do this, we can go back to how we were. I miss you so much. You know that you belong with me" Ella said sweetly, but still managing to give me a nasty look.
I noticed out of the corner of my eye, someone coming towards us. I was praying it wasn't a teacher. I really didn't want to explain this situation.
The figure started running towards us and I realised it was Jinxx.
"Guys! What the fuck are you doing!? Get the fuck away from her!?" Jinxx said angrily as he neared us. He stopped just in front of me, using his body to block me from them.
"Fuck off Jinxx!" Andy yelled.
"No! Just leave her alone! I'm sick of this. Jake, I can't believe you hit her. I never thought you'd be that guy, but you proved me wrong" he said protectively wrapping an arm around me.
"This doesn't concern you Jinxx! Since when do you care so much about her? She fucked you up as much as me!" Jake yelled in his face.
"I disagree. I don't enjoy beating people up and if we were gonna do that to Lissa for no apparent reason, I don't wanna be friends with you. I'm sorry, did you not notice the things that they were doing to her?! You stood by and watched! Never tried to stop them!" Jinxx said gesturing towards Andy and Scout. "I don't know you anymore Jake. Come on Lissa" he said guiding me towards the school.
Once we out of sight I hugged him tightly. "Thank you Jinxx. You saved me."
"Don't mention it. I'm never going to let them touch you ever again."
