Behind the Glasses

Chapter 6

I start walking my way behind the school with every step my heart is beating faster and quicker. I take my last step and turn round the corner to see the whole gang. Sean and his four friends, Beth, Amanda and Zoe with them also.

They're all smoking and Zane is holding a beer. I look away in disgust as once I get back home I'm going to kill them for smoking. Logan pushes Sean and he stumbles over his feet. He looks drunk. He walks over to me and grabs my hand and whispers to me.

"Come on baby let's get home and we can have fun together." He says and he smells of weed and beer. I push him away and he lets go of my hand. "Come on." He begs and pulls me closer to him.

"No get off me." I say as he pushes me to the wall. He starts kissing my neck and biting I have to stop myself from moaning. I lift my knee and kick him in the balls. I make a run for it but luck isn't with me.

Zane and Dane stop me and push me over Sean whose holding his balls. I start moving and try to escape, my friends are looking at the floor and I know that they can't help me. I start panicking and pacing.

Sean grabs me once again and push me against the wall. "Shh calm down baby." He say cupping my cheek.

"Don't call me that."

"You're mine and I call you what I want." he snaps.

"No you don't own me." I say struggling to get away from his hold. Unfortunately I can't use any of my skills or he'll suspect something.

"I've got enough of your attitude." He says angry now and punches me in the stomach. I hold my stomach with my hands as I scream in my fake pain. He pulls my hair holding me up. He slaps me and then they all leave and the last thing I see Sean is smirking at me.

I get up and lift my shirt and see the bruise quickly forming. I pull my hoodie from my bag and put it on me to cover the redness on my face. I have to say that he knows how to fight after all he's part of the best gang in London.

I walk back to my home since I missed the bus and it only passes every hour. I have around an hour at least to arrive back home. As I'm walking a car pulls over the side walk of the road. I look from under my eye and see Greg in the car with two other men from school.

"Come on get in." he says and I shake my head hiding my face in my hood "Alexis if you don't want me to come outside and put you over my shoulder and force you in. You better come inside now." I look at him and see that he's being serious.

I walk over to the back door and step inside. He looks at me from the rear mirror and I look away and he continues driving. None of the men are talking and then he drops them off to some party and continue driving.

"Where do you live?"

"Drop me off at 5th Avenue Street can you?"

"Yeah sure thing. What did Sean want?"

"Nothing."

"Alexis."

"Greg."

"I'm serious."

"So am I." He stops the car and turns around and look at me. "Take off the hood." He says and I shake my head. He reaches his hand to fast for me to act and the hood falls down from my face. His eyes go wide and take my appearance.

"What did he do?"

"Nothing."

"Alexis, I won't tell him what you tell me I promise."

"Fine he just slapped me."

"Only?" He asks and I nod. I open the door and walk outside as I step outside standing I wince a bit from the pain in my stomach. That punch is having a big effect on me now. I look at Greg and see him standing beside me. What is this dude Flash?

He pulls my shirt up and look at me and then back to my stomach. His hand goes through his hair and he looks back at me.

"You lied to me." he says and I shrug it off. "Will you be fine?" he asks me concerned. Since when did he care?

"Yeah I care about you and Sean can't just go and hit you. Yes you just thought out loud." He says understanding my confused expression of how he knew my question. I just smile back at him.

"Thanks and goodnight." I reply.

"No problem see you on Monday." he says walking back into his car driving off. What a day! I walk back to the house passing five blocks. Entering my room I sit down on my windowsill bed and look outside.

I hate Sean and all of his gang and now I can't wait for my so called friends to be back. I am not going to take this without fighting. Greg on the other hand is the opposite of Sean. He isn't all goody mister shoes either but better than Sean for sure.

I go into the bathroom and take a quick shower. Then I dry myself up and put health creams onto my bruises. I go back to my room and start finishing both mine and Sean homework.Today was a totally different day and all I wish for now is to sleep.

Unfortunately I can't while that bastard is partying I am stuck here doing this shit. This life is so unfair and all I get in my life is luck and hope turning against me. How can I live like this one and a half more year before college.

What did I do to deserve this life?
