Reborn Heart of Steel

She let out a very loud laughter. “I see loser Lucy grew some wings here. Perhaps we should chop the off so you can know your place.” I kicked and trashed against her but her friends gripped me as well, trapping me between them.

Brittany stepped forward and gave me a slap, a very, profound slap, my neck almost cracked at the impact.

I found myself cackling, my voice echoing in the corridor.

“I see what you’re afraid of. You’re not even all that, and yet here you are making others feel less accepted because you believe they’re better than you. Why wouldn’t they be? When your whole life is a joke.” Another slap came to my cheeks and I spat out blood.

“Bring her with me. You’ll regret what you said to me today.” She growled while they dragged me with them.

I struggled in their grip.

“Where are you taking me? Let me go!”

But they were too fast, until we got to the locker room. I noticed Brittany walk to her locker before bring out a whip and medicine.

“You’re so going to regret this. Hard drug isn’t allowed in the school premises is it? Now watch as I ruin your reputation.”

My eyes widened as she got a sack of cocaine out of her bag pack. I was shocked they carried this around with them everyday. Then I watched as she put it all into my back pack.

“Stop.” I tried yanking myself off their grip before Brittany gripped my chin and rubbed cocaine on my nose.

“That post you so badly want, you sure are going to get it.”

Tears dropped from my eyes.

“Please stop this. Please.”

But they all laughed like this was nothing.

“Aww, did loser Lucy just plead with us? You were so bold about a second ago.”

Tears dropped from my eyes.

“Avi, now.” Brittany said before Avi ran out of the room. Brittany took out her phone and a bottle of tequila. “Say another word.” She laughed, recording my vulnerability, making it seem like I was the guilty one here. “Say cheese.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I gritted my cheek, trying desperately yank myself away from their clutches. I trembled with sobs, glaring at Brittany who had a smug look of satisfaction on her face.

It changed to a scowl. “Who said you can look at me that way?” Before I could process her question, I felt a painful impact on my face once more. And instantly tried rose from the chair to attack her, but all the same I was held back.

“I’m not done with you yet baby girl.” She stroked my hair. “Oh you thought I was?”

As if on cue Avi walked into the room with… Mark?

“What is he doing here?”

“Oh he came here to bear witness of something.”

“You threatened him didn’t you?” I gritted out.

“Would it take a threat for a horny guy to have a release?”

My face dropped. “What?” I glanced at Mark who didn’t seem at all affected by all these. When… he had helped me when Brittany… why was he suddenly so different… “They threatened you didn’t they?”

He stepped closer to me.

“Mark please don’t do this.”I tried to shift back but they were able to get me to remain stable. Tears dropped from my eyes. “This isn’t you. Mark please…”

He gripped my neck. “You have no idea how long I’ve waited for this day.”

I stared at him with weak disbelief.

“You don’t mean that do you?” I questioned, my voice barely above a whisper.

He only smirked.

“Help!! Help me!!” I cried out and they all began to panic before someone hit a nerve on my neck. Wounded, I fell back and lost consciousness.

A few moments later I woke up… looking down at myself, feeling a bit sore. When I looked around, it was really quiet, I almost did not understand where I was.

I tried to move but noticed something was off. I rose up and looked at myself in the mirror, my outfit was ripped. And my trouser… I tucked my hand in to feel myself and felt… sore.

I blinked, not wanting to believe that was what happened. It couldn’t be. Maybe I was just taking it too far.

My eyes blurred with tears. If anybody finds this out I was doomed. I ran to my locker and opened it to take out a flower dress outfit.

I hated wearing sunflower dresses and I’d flung this cloth into the locker because I didn’t want it.

Fortunately, it came in handy.

I stepped out of the locker room, conscious of myself and my environment.

The first thing that came to my mind was home… I needed to be home.

My strides were quite fast until I bumped into someone.

Stumbling back a little I raised my gaze, to notice it was Chase.

“Where are you going, walking so fast like that?” He questioned teasingly, but I didn’t say anything, I was in severe pain. His face softened into that of concern. “Hey are you okay?” He gripped my shoulder a little.

I didn’t want too start explaining myself to anyone.

“Step aside.” I told him and it was then he decided to step right in front of me. I glanced up at him. “Step asides Chase.”

“They hurt you. Again.” He cupped my face. “I can see it in your eyes, I can sniff it.”

I looked away in embarrassment wanting to cry.

“Hey hey, look at me, don’t look away from me. There’s nothing to be ashamed of when you’re with me Lucy please, I want you to feel safe and secure. I’m here for you okay? Just let it out.”

I broke down, sobbing into his chest. My body trembled in his arms in tears as I let every out.

“That’s it.” He hugged me tighter, kissing my forehead. “Let it out.” We stayed there for about an hour with him just trying to calm me down, until I was ready to head out. “What me to take you home?”

“No there’s no need.” I was about walking away when he pulled me back and scooped me up like a child. My eyes widened.

“What are you doing, people will see us?”

“And so?” He cocked a brow.

I looked away. “I don’t want them to look down on you.”

“Let them. That’s the worst they can do.” He said and walked down the corridor, I buried my face into his chest. “If only they knew it wouldn’t last long. And it only you knew, this wouldn’t last.”

The huskies of his voice sent shivers down by spine. I heard murmuring of students and gasps.

“You don’t have to do this.” I found myself saying barely above a whisper.

“I don’t, I want to.” He stated before everything went into oblivion.
