I walked into the room. Emma was there, holding her pen knife and rolling her shirt sleeve down quickly.
"Emma…" I said. "Oh no… Emma, why did you do it?" I had seen the patch of red on her sleeve. Emma looked close to tears. It was happening again.
I put and arm around her and rushed her toward the bathroom.
"Billee! Legolas!" I called to the guys down the hall. They saw us and knew something was up, so the ran full pelt down the corridor, Boromir right behind them.
"What happened?" asked Billee breathlessly. Then he saw Emma's arm.
"Oh no," said Legolas. Boromir looked really scared.
I raced my best friend into the bathroom and ran water over the cut. It wasn't deep, but it wasn't shallow either. That girl had a mighty good talent for this kind of stuff. Where had she gotten the knife anyway? I thought I had taken it off her last year. I pushed those thoughts out of my mind and grabbed a bandage from the first aid cabinet above the sink. I wrapped Emma's arm tight and walked her out of the bathroom.
"Jamie… I feel woozy…" she said. "Want to sleep…."
"No! Emma, don't go to sleep! Do you hear me? Don't go to sleep!"
She slumped into my arms, unconsious. Even in the short time that I had found her, she had lost quite a bit of blood. Boromir picked her up.
"Where to?" was all he said and we ran to the infirmary. We raced up the stairs. Gandalf looked up as we entered.
"What happened?" he asked. I had to explain everything. Breakfast, Maths, Lunch fight, History….and finally Emma.
Gandalf nodded. And checked Emma into the infirmary. All I could hope was, she wakes up soon.
Later, Emma had woken up and I asked her to tell me what had really happened when she went to get her ring from the dorm. When she told me, I nearly spat in anger. That dwarf was going to die a slow painful death.
Emma looked pleading. "Please Jamie, don't tell the others. Please?"
I shook my head. "Emma, I have to tell Boromir and Billee, Legolas too. They have to know, they are our friends. I made a promise I'd never keep this kind of secret from anyone. Not even my friends. I have to tell Elrond too."
Emma started to cry. I felt sympathy for her, but my mind was made up.
I made sure there weren't any sharp objects near her and went to tell Elrond, first.
I knocked on the office door.
"Come in," called the Principal. I opened the door. Elrond looked up and sighed.
"Jamie, why did Emma run off like that after History?"
"Sir, the Dwarf, Gimli has been harassing Me and my friends, and he caught Emma in the dorm when she went to get her ring from our room. He threatened her. Kept saying things like a drunken fool outside a brothel."
I had learnt that saying off my Grandmother, that's what she called dad.
Elrond was shocked, I could tell. But I kept going, explaining everything that had happened that day. Even the fight. Elrond frowned when he heard that, because he didn't approve of fights on school grounds. But I told him that no one taunted my friends and got away with it.
"I'll have a talk to him. Maybe we can knock some sense into him, eh?"
"I doubt it, because he doesn't care about teachers. But go ahead and give it a try, sir, I'm not stopping you."
Elrond nodded and dismissed me. I walked back to my room with a heavy heart.
Reesa and Indigo were inside when I walked in. They jumped up.
"Jamie! Billee told us that Emma was in the infirmary! What happened?"
So for the third time that day I explained the situation.
Indigo's eyes flashed a violent dark blue, which only happened when she was really mad. I mean titanic mad. Reesa had a scowl the size of Rivendell on her face. They didn't talk anymore. So I lay on my bed and started to cry. It's strange. I haven't cried since I was very little, when my father would beat me. But I learnt to live with that.
The other girls had gone out of the room. Suddenly I felt two arms wrap round me and pull me into a hug. A voice was saying, "Don't cry, Champ. You gotta be brave, just don't cry, Champ. Don't cry."
Baz rocked me like a baby while I sobbed uncontrollably into his shoulder.
