QUICK UPDATE! :D This is just a little chapter to wrap things up with the Return Arc! :) SO enjoy! (:
Kendall's POV
I awoke to see a white ceiling, I raise my body, but slowly leaned back down to feel the ache of my stomach piercing into me. I look to my side, and I see everyone here, except Lucy.
"Oh dear! I'm glad you're awake!" mom cries over to me, and held my hand tight.
"I'm glad I'm awake too mom." I pat her on the head. Logan steps up.
"How ya feeling buddy?" Logan asks,
"I feel like pain. But, I'm alive right?" I smile,
"The doctor said that no arteries were damaged so, you were fine. You just need some rest for the next three to four days." Mom informed,
"Thats good." I grin,
"Why did you fight Beau?" James asked me, "And what did it have to do with Lucy?"
"You don't know because we didn't see that she was breaking inside. No one saw it, she was crumbling down willing to hurt herself to soothe the aching pain she conceived for the past three years." I exclaimed,
"She was abused since her sophomore year. Plus, she was raped just last night. I couldn't have not done something about this." I protested,
"Look where that got you, hun." Mom intruded,
"I had to do something. What if that happened to Katie, mom?" I objected, "Would you want me to do nothing, and wait for it to be solved?" Mom stayed quiet, not replying to my statement.
"But, Lucy didn't seem to have anything wrong with her?" Logan added,
"She looks like she doesn't have anything wrong going on. But, her eyes tell a different story!"
"Where's Lucy?" I turned my attention to James,
He exhales,"She's outside in the waiting area. She couldn't have the courage to come in."
"Tell her to come in." I say, and James walks out of the room.
"What happened after I was stabbed?" I asked, waiting for anyone to answer.
"When he stabbed you, the security guard pulled a taser, and tazed Beau and handcuffed him. That's what I heard so far." Carlos answered,
"Let go of me! James!" I hear Lucy's voice to see James dragging Lucy by the leg into the room.
"I said tell her to come in. Not drag her." I rolled my eyes, and I look at everyone."Can Lucy and I have some privacy to talk?" everybody nodded, and closed the door behind them. Lucy takes a seat next to me.
"I'm sorry. For everything. Lying to you, and breaking our promise. I really needed you when I couldn't have the courage to tell you. I just couldn't risk you getting involved into my mess." Lucy apologized,
"If I wasn't into your situation you would continue to suffer from his wrath. No one would want that." I paused for a breath, "Also, why are you apologizing? I broke my promise too, you know." I added,
"What promise?" Lucy questions,
"The promise to protect you. I couldn't protect you from Beau. Because I was too blind to realize how you were crashing down." I use my right hand to reach over for hers. Our fingers intertwine with the others.
"So, where's Beau?" I asked,
"He was arrested for possession of weapon, abuse, and assault." Lucy says, glancing down at our hands.
"That's good." I exhaled, I glance at Lucy. "Let me see your arm." I say, and she takes off her jackets and I see both of her arms covered in cuts.
"Don't hide these scars. Because it defines how strong you were to suffer through your pain. You're Lucy Stone, the strongest, and most toughest girl I've ever met." I kiss the palm of her hand.
"I may seem that way. But, knowing I'm the weakest person in the world." Lucy looked down,
"Lucy, look at me." She looks up, "You're amazingly tough, and strong. Don't let anyone, and I mean anyone, tell you otherwise." She grabs the courage to wear a slight smile, which made me smile. I pull her towards me for a hug. My arms grasp her back and I hold her tight.
"Just, don't cry no more, please." I whisper to her, "I don't want you to be alone anymore." she nods, "You know, it's crazy...how wrong you can be about a person." I chuckle a little, letting her go.
"Why is that?" She raises her eyebrow,
"Because the day we first met, I hated you." Her smile drops slights, "Now, you were the person I cared most about." her smiles appears again. Then suddenly I heard a knocking sound, at my door.
"Come in." I replied, and the door swings open, out steps in Mr. Jensen, our school principal. Following behind him is James, Mom, and Katie.
"Hello Mr. Knight." Mr. Jensen reaches out and shakes my hand. "How is your wound?"
"Painfully, and better. Is there a problem Mr. Jensen?" I ask,
"Well, considering you were the fire that started the fight earlier. I'm going to have to suspend you for five school days." Mr. Jensen finals my punishment, then he looks to James, "As do you Mr. Diamond being included into the rumble."
"But, sir may I object. That James didn't do anything physical to anyone. He just pulled Beau off me." I objected, "I should be the one to get the punishment, please don't include James."
"Very well. Five days will be your punishment, and no admission to Prom." Mr. Jensen added, to my punishment.
"Wait, sir. You can't let me not go to Prom? Prom is my chance as a senior to have fun at before graduation?" I reasoned, "Is there anything I could do so I wouldn't have my Prom privilege taken from me?"
"Would you like expulsion instead Mr. Knight?" Mr. Jensen raised his eyebrow.
"Obviously not, but can't I do anything like lunch duty, or field work sir?" I recommended,
"If you're that concerned about Prom. Then five days suspension, and two weeks of lunch duty is final." Mr. Jensen finished, and I wore the biggest smile.
"Thank you, sir." I smiled,
"No problem. Now hope you heal so you could get back to duty." he added, and walked out. James came up to me.
"Dude, you didn't have to cover for me." James says,
"It's alright, you didn't do anything really." I reassured him, I feel a heavy weight on my eyes. I yawned loudly. "I'm getting tired, I'm going to take a nap." I said, and closed my eyes.
Lucy's POV
I stayed in Kendall's room until nightfall, I mean it was the least I could do. The guys, Jo and Camille left an hour ago because of school. Only Ms. Knight, Katie, and I were in the room with Kendall. Katie nudged me in the arm.
"You should go home you look tired, get some rest." Katie whispered to me. I nodded, and got up.
"Tell Kendall when he wakes up." I smile, "Tell him thank you." Katie nodded, and I left. I took a cab ride home. When I walked through my house door, I see Hayden eating a burger and fries in the living room.
"Hey, Lu. Where've you been? I got here at four to see if you were here." Hayden spoke, as he was munching on burger. I smiled, closed the door, and sat next to him.
"Why are you smiling?" he points out,
"I just feel free." I smile, and grabbed his burger and took a bite.
"Aye! Get your own burger!" Hayden complains and reaches for his burger.
"I'm hungry, so shh!" I push him away, and kept munching."Um...Hayden, I have to tell you something." I set his burger down on the table.
"What is it?" he says concerned, I sighed slowly and began him telling everything. From that moment, I finally felt happy. With nothing to fear, and nothing to hide.
So glad Lucy told her brother. Good ending right? Well it isn't the ending yet! (: I still have more to add to this story like Prom, and Graduation, and Summer, maybe? Also maybe next chapter Kucy will rise? IDK ;) NO questions because I feel like it ended on a good note for this chapter. So be excited for next chapter! Because I think it's almost Prom season. So that means Promposals! xDDDDD As always, feedback is always great! Stay positive, and thank you for reading! -Vivienne
