A Warrior Of Youth

Lissas POV

When Jake left I felt a little confused. Did he just ask me out? He's pretty much dumping Ella because of me. But he doesn't want me to come to school. What does that mean?
Will the bullying get worse? God, I hope not. If this is how they treat me now, what are going to do to me once Jake breaks up with Ella. The thought made me feel sick.
I could feel the meal I ate earlier churning in my stomach.
I pulled the covers off and rushed to the bathroom. I jammed my fingers down my throat, forcing myself to gag. I threw up the contents of my stomach, feeling the acid burn my throat.
I washed out my mouth and went back to my bedroom. I felt hollow, but better.

Jakes POV

The next day I was shaken. Myself and Ella had been together nearly a year, but I wouldn't tolerate her acting this way towards anyone. I didn't think she'd stoop down to Scouts level.
At lunch I met up with the guys and they were talking about Lissa.
"Oh, hey Jake! Did you hear that the new chick caused her brother to commit suicide! She must annoyed the shit out of him to make him do that!" Andy said while laughing as I neared the table.
"That's not it at all. Where did you hear that?" I asked concerned.
"It's all over the school. Someone said she went to hospital after attempting suicide! What a joke!" He chuckled.
"That's not funny. Even if it was true" I said getting angry.
"Yeah it is! And you can't prove it cause it's not like she's here today."
Maybe I shouldn't have told Lissa not to come. Things are getting messy.
"She's probably trying to end her sad life as we speak. She doesn't fit in here and she knows it. This is a small town and she fears it" he continued when I didn't say anything.
"But she could be apart of us! Have you heard how talented she is on piano! She's like me with the guitar" I said trying to make her more appealing to Andy.
"She's arrogant. Didn't you see the way she looked at us on the first day back? She judged us. We're only returning the favour" Andy said shaking his head.
Ashley was sitting close by and had been listening to the conversation. "I know right. She gave me this glare like we were the weird ones" Ashley commented.
"Shut up Ash. You made things just as bad" I snapped back.
"Why do you care so much?" Andy asked, being completely serious.
I froze for a moment. I really didn't know.
Andy took my silence as my answer.
"Well if you want to be friends with her, you can't be friends with us. Think about it" Andy said before turning away from me and continued talking to Ashley.
I pushed off from the table, annoyed at my so called friends.
I went outside to seek out where Ella was hiding out with Scout and Sammi.
I eventually caught sight of the threesome sitting under the bleachers. Ella look my way and got up immediately.
"Hey baby. I didn't think you were going to talk to me today" she said a little sad.
"I'm not. I'm breaking up with you" I said with no emotion.
"What?! Why?! What the hell Jake! You can't do this to me!" She said with tears filling her eyes.
"I'm sorry, but I can't be with someone who is going to treat people like shit and then spread rumours about them. You fucking told the school that Lissa's brother committed suicide! Then you say that she tried to do the same thing!"
"Jake look what she's done! You've known her for 4 days and everything is fucked up! Fuck off Jake. If you're gonna be like this I don't want to be with you. She deserves everything that's happened! I hope she dies! Then you'll have no one!" She said angrily then stormed off back under the bleaches.
The bell sounded for the end of lunch and I felt a cold sweat come over me. I would be out of the band now. There was no turning back now.
I made my way to music class and as Andy and the other guys walked in, they all gave me death stares.
"Fag" Andy muttered as he pasted me.
Jinxx looked sad, but didn't say anything to me. I knew he wanted to.
I shook the thought off and concentrated on Sandra walking through the door.
She looked a bit shaken. She sat next to me and sighed.
"I hate your ex" she said annoyed.
"So you heard."
"Not heard, felt. It's okay, I got a couple good hits on her. She thinks I'm partly to blame for all this. I can't believe I'm still dealing with your shit" she said resting her head on the desk.
"Sorry. I don't have to be like them anymore. After what she did to Lissa... She took it too far. And Lissa's secret got out. Its turned into ridiculous rumours and Lissa will kill me" I said putting my head in my hands.
"She'll have to deal with it. It's only gonna get worse from here. For all of us" Sandra said fearlessly.
"We'll be fine. It's Lissa I'm worried about" I said into my hands.
I had really fucked things up. When Lissa came back next week she would be bullied like crazy. There's nothing more that Andy like to pick on is stereotypes and Lissa was quickly fitting into the suicidal, emo one. I hope she wouldn't act on it...
