Jaxx’s POV
I pulled Frankie out of the door. He stumbled after me; I just put my weight on one hip and put my finger out in front of me.
“Bitch, you best not be putting the moves on Ella!”
“Don’t do the camp routine with me! And why can’t I get with Ella? She’s my ideal girl!”
“Yeah, but her and Mikey have got something going on! He got there first Bro, let it go.”
“Oh, okay… do you think that Mikey would mind if me and Ella were friends?”
“Dude! Of course he wouldn’t, just don’t try anything with her; otherwise you’ll have me to deal with. Okay?”
“Okay, and thanks for the heads up, you’re a good mate.”
And with that he turned and walked back into the room.
“Yeah… mate, that’s all we’ll ever be…” I huffed to myself and wondered back into the room shuffling my feet.
Frankie and Ella were sitting there laughing to each other. Damn it! Why the hell do I have to fall for one of my friends? Frankie will never want more with me. Plus he’s so good-looking; he could do so much better than me. He has beautiful eyes which you could get lost in forever. Oh My God, he’s just caught me staring. MENTAL FACEPALM. Way to be subtle, Jaxx.
“Are you okay Jaxx, you look a little out of it?”
“Yeah, I’m fine thanks. Didn’t get much sleep last night, I’m just tired.”
“Oh, okay dude, I’m here if you need to talk though.” God, he really had to stop being so god-damned beautiful!
“I’m here for you as well Jaxx; I know we only met like, 1 hour ago? But I’m a good listener, and I’ve been through a lot of shit too. Just let me know if you need me.”
She smiled and laid her hand on mine. This girl was so sweet. I looked up into her eyes; one of them was slightly swollen but covered in loads on concealer. How hadn’t I noticed this earlier? She must have seen the look of worry cross my face as her face quickly fell and she ducked her head down. She just carried on scribbling on her paper.
Who the hell gave her a black-eye? Was she bullied at her old school? Did she have something going on at home? I need to talk to her… actually, I’ll tell Mikey, Him and Gerard will know what to do.
Second lesson passed by fairly fast. Ella didn’t speak to me, but I didn’t have anything to say to her right now so I couldn’t even break the silence. I texted Mikey and asked him to meet us by the tree on the field and to bring Frankie with him. This way I can talk to Mikey without Ella being left out: she can talk with Frank.
When the bell rang I grabbed Ella’s wrist and ran down the corridor. This was the only way to avoid the bullies and taunts. I heard her bite back a scream, now I knew something was wrong, I wasn’t even holding her wrist tightly.
As soon as we got to the tree I let go of Ella’s wrist and clutched at my chest, I’m not good at the whole ‘exercise’ thing. I made hand signals to Mikey asking him if we could talk privately. He just looked utterly confused so I pulled him away from the others.
“What’s up Jaxx?”
“I-It’s…. Ella…I-… Ca-… breathe.” I was trying to talk and regain my breath at the same time. Mikey just patted me on the back.
“You okay now dude?”
I nodded in response.
“Okay, now, what were you saying about Ella?”
“I’m real worried Mikey. She keeps wincing when she walks and her eye is all swollen. When I grabbed her wrist earlier she almost screamed in pain. I think something’s going on… I know it can’t be people here: she’s been here two lessons and I’ve been next to her the whole time… do you know if there is anything going on at home?”
“Well, she came round our yesterday for a movie night, she seemed fine then, but her phone rang half-way through the movie and she left straight away. I also noticed the wincing this morning as well. I haven’t seen or heard her talk about her Mom; she’s only ever talked about her Dad. Do you think he might be…?”
“Maybe, but we can’t just jump to conclusions like that Mikey. You need to invite her round your house tonight and you and Gee need to sit down and talk with her. It might not be as serious as her being abused, but she is hurt and she’s trying to hide it.”
“Okay, thanks for letting me know Dude. I’ll ask her back to mine now.”
We walked back over to the other two, Ella was laughing at something Frankie had said and she was holding onto her sides.
“Uh, Ella, do you want to come back to mine tonight to watch some more films? Gee just texted me and told me to invite you, he also told me I wasn’t allowed back without you. Please?”
“Hahah, sure. I couldn’t leave you out on the streets now, could I?”
I looked at Frankie, he looked confused. His gaze met mine and he mouthed: ‘What’s going on?’ I just shrugged in response.
I hope Mikey finds out what’s going on. I’m really worried about Ella.
