Chapter 9: The Bully-Part 3
Maxine was pacing back and forth, she could hear Amy crying but she didn't realise the extremities of the situation. She saw Bruce walking down the hall; he had seen her pacing and began to run towards her thinking that something else had happened.
"Is she ok? Did something else happen to her?"
"Everything is fine Bruce.... at least I think it is...."
"What do you mean? Why are you out here and not in there with her?"
"Stu is in th...." Amy screaming cut off Maxine mid-sentence.
Bruce pushed past her and rushed in. He saw Amy on the floor, with Stu standing over her holding her wrists tightly. Maxine pushed Bruce to the side so she could enter the room, and the sight that met her eyes broke her heart.
She should have entered the room when she arrived. She regretted not stepping in, she knew deep down that she should have done, but she had been so eager to leave her be like she always asks. She had thought it was for the best.
Stu seemed not to have noticed Bruce or Maxine and carried on trying to get Amy to stand. "Come on I love you, and you obviously love me.... that kiss, it was amazing and your touch, your hands, you were...."
"Stu, please let me go, I don't love you.... any more...." Amy couldn't believe this was happening to her. She couldn't believe Stu was behaving like this.
"That kiss would like to prove you wrong.... you were giving yourself to me!" He managed to pull her up, and dragged her to him.
"No Stu," Stu released her wrists so he could hold her tight to him. "Get off me, please stop!" She tried to push against him but her wrists gave way as she cried out in pain.
Bruce jumped forward as she fell to the floor. He barely noticed her blouse was undone, as he wrapped her into his arms and lifted her up.
"Get out of here Stu, she left you for many reasons, one was that she felt you were a bully, even if she had been thinking about taking you back, why would she now. I mean you have hurt her so badly that she passed out."
Stu looked at the ground, but didn't reply. Reality hit him hard as he realised what he had done. Grabbing his bag he ran out of the room.
Maxine had been so shocked by what she had seen; she had been frozen. She now walked over to Amy who was mumbling quietly, as Bruce laid her onto the bed. He glanced at her wrists, which were swollen and bruised. Maxine lent over and did up some buttons on her blouse. Noticing that she had some bruises on her abdomen. As Amy winced she blinked back tears, this was her fault.
"Thank you Bruce, I was.... I'll just get Kyle" Maxine rushed off in search of Kyle, who phoned the police before coming to collect Amy for some x-rays.
One wrist was broken and he strapped it up, feeling that a cast would be too obvious and cause too many rumours and then he bandaged her other wrist. The police arrived and took a statement from Maxine and Bruce, before they left. The drugs Amy had been given for the pain had made her drowsy, and before the police had had a chance to question her she had fallen into a deep sleep.
Stu knew what he had done was wrong. How was Amy ever going to forgive him now? How was she ever going to let him back into her life again? He closed his eyes remembering how close she had let him come to joining with her again, and he sighed as he realised what he was going to have to do: He had to get her on her own. Where there would be no more interuptions. Nobody to come to her when he was trying to get her to listen. She would listen to him, he was going to make sure of that!
