Hey everyone glad to know that the last chapter went over so well. I
hadn't been too sure. Thank you to everyone who reviewed.
Chapter 8
Boromir walked into fourth period English.
"Mrs. Wood, I really need to speak to Aragorn. It's very important."
"You have two minutes in the hall."
They walked out and Boromir explained what happened with Walker.
"I think we need to teach Benny a lesson about who he can't mess with." Aragorn started making plans in his head about what he was going to do the gay prep.
"Aragorn, no. Legolas promised me and the others not to tell anyone about this. Please don't let on that you know about today. Please?"
"I don't like it but I'll keep my mouth shut for now." Mrs. Wood came to the door telling Aragorn to come in.
"I'll see you at the truck." Boromir said and walked to where the friends were having a cigarette.
"What did you do in the bathroom? Jack off to a picture of Arwen?" Eomer asked as he came back.
"I already have the real thing." Boromir kissed Arwen on the lips to prove his point.
"Yuk, heterosexual sex!" Haldir spoke up. Everyone stopped for a second to think about what he said the laughed.
******************************************
The whip that Walker was hitting Legolas' back with was like a horse whip. Before she started, she has made him remove his shirt and had said something about too beautiful to be a guy and pinched his left peck before she started the beating. For ten minutes straight Walker continued.
~~Closing your eyes to disappear
you pray your dreams will leave you here~~
While Legolas' mind was back with his dad during the many beating he got. The only difference was that Thranduil never used a whip. When Walker stopped she walked around him to see his face. His face was red and his eyes puffy and swollen from crying. His breathing was hitched from trying to breathe through his nose which he couldn't do and was feeling lightheaded because of it.
"I want my scarf back now." She said quietly. Legolas spat it out and took deep mouthfuls of air.
"Never piss me off and this won't happen again. Now get out of here, you have 40 minutes before your next class. Have fun!" Legolas ran out of the office and into the boy's bathroom. He shut himself into a stall. He cleaned himself up as best as he could and walked out of the stall, over to the mirror. He peeled the shirt off his shoulders and looked at the welts. Thankfully they were only bleeding lightly and he was wearing black that day, so he could finish the day without anyone knowing. But he didn't know what he was going to do at Aragorn's or Boromir's house. After he saw that he looked somewhat normal again, he went to go look for Boromir.
By the time the bell rang for the next period, Legolas still hadn't found him. So he went and sat in his desk.
"Hi, Fag. What did she do to you?" Benny asked once he came into the room.
"Benny, why do you keep calling me 'Fag' when everyone knows you're a poof? Legolas asked.
"You didn't answer my question, what happened?"
"Nothing, she's a crack-snorting fool." The entire time Legolas made sure to lean forward in the seat so the welts wouldn't brush against the chair.
"Get away from him." Shanks the teacher for that period told Benny.
"Yes. Coach Shanks." Benny said glaring at Legolas.
"I know there is no point in saying this, but don't listen to him. He can only hurt you with words. I know you already know that but it's true" Shanks sat on the desk in front of the blonde.
"I wish that was." Legolas whispered. Shanks looked questioningly at the boy.
"What do you mean?" Though Legolas hardly knew the teacher, he knew that not only was the guy a nice person but he was easy to talk to.
"Nothing just an expression." Legolas tried to cover up.
"Weird expression." Legolas was relieved when the bell rang and Shanks went to the teacher's desk.
"You're late." Five minutes later Boromir and his friends walked in. "Take your seats."
"Where were you?" Legolas asked Boromir.
"Cig break. What did she say?"
"Nothing much." Legolas moved in his seat. "Just stuff about how I'm never going to do that again."
"I'm sorry Legolas. If I hadn't done that then you wouldn't have gotten in trouble." Haldir said from behind him.
"It isn't your fault. It's Benny's." Legolas crossed his arms on the desk and put his head on them.
"We're going to get Benny back for that Legolas." Eomer said.
"No, your not. I want to do this myself. I'm not a chick, sorry girls, but I'm not helpless. And only I will get revenge on Benny."
"Legolas you're scaring me." Eomer said staring wide-eye at him.
"Sorry."
Spanish went by and Legolas was able to get to the truck.
"Wendy's?" Boromir asked.
"No. I'm tired. Could you drop me off at home? You guys go to Wendy's." Legolas said thinking that way he could deal with the welts and not worry about anyone else seeing them.
"That's fine."
Aragorn stopped the truck in front of the house, Legolas got out with a small 'bye'. And they drove off.
Legolas went into the bathroom and peeled his shirt off. They had stopped bleeding, so there was only dried blood. He took a wash cloth and gently wiped the welts he could reach. Then he turned on the bathtub and stepped under the spray flinching when his wounds throbbed. Three more minutes under the shower and he got out. He dried off and went to the room that he was using and laid on his stomach. He wrote about what happened in the notebook. Leaving out the part about Walker feeling him up. For thirty minutes he just laid there once in a while falling asleep, but waking right back up because of nightmares involving Thranduil or Walker and sometimes both. Legolas hurried and got a shirt on when Boromir and Aragorn walked in.
"So what are we doing today?" Boromir asked already bored of sitting.
"Nothing I just want to relax." Legolas said lying back down on his stomach.
They ended up talking until 7:30 when they went to the kitchen to fix something to eat. When Legolas walked into the pantry she said.
"Hi, I'm Legolas. Welcome to Wal-Mart."
"Oh, Ha, Ha." Aragorn said from the fridge.
Boromir laughed.
"I'm craving chicken. Have any?" Legolas called out.
"You're craving foods? You turned woman on me?"
"Would a woman do this?" Aragorn put his hands around his dick. Legolas punched him in the nose.
"Legolas, calm down. Aragorn's sorry." Boromir stood in front of Legolas. Confused as to why he would do something like that. "Don't ever call me a woman." Legolas then walked into his bedroom and lay on his side facing the wall. Aragorn walked in a few minutes later holding a tissue to his nose.
"Legolas, I'm sorry." Aragorn started talking to his back. "I don't think you're a girl. If you were I probably wouldn't be your boyfriend. You're my man."
"My father used to say to me that I was as pretty as a girl. That I was too beautiful. He would call me a girl sometimes when he would hit me." Legolas said in a tiny voice.
"Legolas look at me please." Legolas turned on his stomach making sure that nothing touched his back.
"Your father was wrong, you might have a wonderful looking face but you're a man." Aragorn said
"Remember the first day of school? When you were driving and Boromir thought I looked like a girl from behind. Maybe I should cut my hair. What do you think?"
Aragorn ran a hand through said hair. "I love it as it is. But it's your choice."
"I'll think about it."
"So how about some food?" Aragorn said after a few minutes of playing with Legolas' hair. Legolas laughed and slowly got off the bed.
"Has it stopped bleeding?"
"Yep." Aragorn felt his nose.
Boromir was sitting at the table eating some roast beef.
"You done making out back there?" He smiled.
"Shove it. You know you want to watch so you could jack off while pretending that it was you and Arwen." Legolas retorted.
Aragorn ever the smart one asked.
"We were making out?"
"Shut up, Aragorn." His boyfriend said.
They ate and talked about their friends and school. Through dinner both Boromir and Aragorn noticed that Legolas sat hunched over his food. But they didn't say anything to make him even more uncomfortable. That night when they all slept, when Legolas put pressure on his back, he would give a soft cry of pain. It was too quiet for Aragorn to hear, though. And Boromir didn't stay the night.
The next morning, Legolas took two Tylenol as he was getting ready. It was Wednesday and Legolas desperately wished it was Saturday. He would have to see Walker and spend an hour and twenty minutes with her. He hoped she wouldn't say anything to the class on what happened the day before, but Legolas didn't trust her not to. In lunch, Legolas sat at the far end of the table while Aragorn, like normal, sat in the middle. Legolas had told his boyfriend that he needed some time to think alone. When Gimli got to the table, he decided to sit next to Legolas.
"So how has your day been?" Gimli asked after watching Legolas stare off into space for five minutes.
"I'm fine."
"Legolas, do you know why I protect ever since I learned what happened?" Gimli was looking around.
"Will Legolas Greenleaf please come to the main office?" A voice came over the intercom.
"Want me to come to the office with you?" Gimli asked as Legolas got up to throw his food away.
"Sure. I have nothing on me, so I know I can't be in trouble." Legolas was praying that he would have to stay in the office so he didn't have to see Walker.
"I'm Legolas." He said to an attendant once he got into the room.
"Go back to Mr. Curry's office. He is waiting for you." The woman said kindly.
When Legolas and Gimli were walking toward the office they could hear Mr. Curry talking.
"Yes, of course. He has only missed four days since August, when school started.
"That's good. For the longest time I didn't know how to find him. I had thought that he stopped coming here."
Legolas stopped, making Gimli run into him. But Legolas didn't fell any pain. Too worried to know that his father was there. But before Legolas had a chance to run. Mr. Curry saw him.
"Legolas! Come in!" Mr. Curry said very cheerful.
Legolas walked in very slowly. Gimli right behind him, putting a hand on Legolas back to reassure him, but almost made Legolas cry out. The red- haired boy knew Legolas' father was there.
"I'm sorry boy. You can't come in here." Curry said.
"He stays or I leave." Legolas said, his eyes cold.
"Oh. It's alright. I'm sure all his friends know anyway." Thranduil said from his seat.
"Legolas, um... I don't know your name. Please take a seat."
"I'll stand." Gimli said as Legolas took a seat. And Gimli stood behind Legolas' chair. To protect Legolas if he needed to.
"Alright Legolas." Curry sat in his chair. "Do you know why you're here?"
He looked at his Father. "I could guess." He said dryly.
"Your father tells me that you ran away a couple months ago."
"I wouldn't call it run away, more like prolonged stay at friends." He smiled.
"Legolas! You will show some respect." Curry said.
"Oh, but I am!"
"Anyway," Curry looked ready to give him hell. "Why aren't you living with your father?"
"Don't want to."
"Alright, Legolas two people can play at this game. You have not choice. Now, give me a better reason then that."
"Home is too far to walk?"
"Legolas!" Thranduil finally said.
"Look, tell me what this is about so I can go back to class." Legolas would rather deal with Walker than Thranduil right now.
"We want you to go home to your father."
"Oh, is that all? No." Legolas leaned forward to put his elbows on his knees. Gimli had been looking back and forth from father and son. When he looked at Legolas he did a double take. He could see the top of one of the welts on his back. Gimli clenched his jaw to keep from saying anything.
*His father hasn't been around him. Someone is still causing him pain. If it's Boromir or Aragorn, they're going to die.* Gimli thought losing track of the conversation around him. *He's too much like me. At least I can protect him. I failed Oin. I won't fail Legolas. I refuse to!* Gimli was going to tell Legolas that he hadn't been alone in his pain, but now he's was going to wait to take care of the person that was hurting him again.
"I don't need this crap. Come on Gimli, let's go." Legolas walked out with Gimli making sure that neither adult tried to stop them.
"What class do you have now?" Legolas asked while walking away from the office.
"English. You?"
"Math. Thanks Gimli. You being there helped me a lot." Legolas smiled and started walking to his class, while Gimli went to his.
"Tardy, Greenleaf. You're late." Walker said.
"Wow, your smart." Legolas said back. Walker looked at Legolas for a moment.
"Do we need to have another talk after class?" She smiled.
"No," Legolas' teeth clenched at the idea of a 'talk'.
"Then get in your seat." She said with the same smile.
Legolas sat down and didn't say a word for the rest of class.
"Coach Shanks?" Legolas asked when he got to study hall.
"Yes?" He looked up from his computer. "I would like to talk to you. Do you have a class after this?"
"No" concern for the youth washed over the teacher, when he saw how the boy was acting.
"I could I talk to you then?"
"Of course."
"Thank you." Legolas smiled a little.
"No problem." Legolas went back to his seat. Boromir asked him what Curry wanted to talk to him about but Legolas didn't answer. He just laid his head down and pretended to be asleep. The others around Legolas talked while Boromir and Eomer played a card game. After the class, Legolas shooed his friends out to Spanish so he could talk to Shanks.
"Normally I would never think of doing this. I don't know how I should start this."
"It's alright. How about you tell me what this has to do with." Shanks sat on the edge of his desk while Legolas sat in a student desk.
"Deals with a teacher. A new one."
"Okay what about this teacher?"
"I got in trouble by her and she decided that she didn't like that school's rules."
"What did you do?"
"I didn't. A few friends did. Then Benny said I did."
"Legolas, I won't send you to the office for anything. You don't have to use names either, but explain in more detail. I don't understand."
"Few months ago two friends stole a jar of lube that they found in the teacher's desk. Yesterday another friend asked if he could have the lube. He had put it on the overhead. She walked in and demanded to know who did it. Benny grinned at me, and then told the teacher it was me. She told everyone to leave and told me to go to her office."
"Wait, students aren't allowed in the offices" Shanks said.
Legolas just shrugged. "I didn't know."
"Continue. I'm sorry for disrupting you."
She started talking about how she thought that the school doesn't know how to control the students right and how she was going to punish the kids herself. Few a few minutes I turned to leave and something hit on head. She stuffed a scarf in my mouth and said if I moved or tried to call out she would go get Benny and his friends and let them watch. She...well she did this." Legolas got up and turned and lifted up his shirt. He heard Shanks gasp.
"Holy shit!" Shanks put his fingers close to one of the welts but didn't touch it.
"Is she doing this to others?" Shanks asked.
"I don't know." Legolas pulled his shirt down.
"Come; let's get some stuff on them. Have you done that?"
"Don't have stuff to do that with."
"Well, here just put this on once in the morning and once at night." Shanks pulled a tube out of his bag.
"Thanks." Legolas said. "Coach could you not tell anyone about this?"
"I promise I won't tell anyone, but if you give me a chance then I could make sure she is fired. Here's a note for being late." Shanks walked Legolas out of the class.
"Thank you. I knew I had to tell somebody and everyone is too close to me, to tell. Maybe soon I'll tell Aragorn then people won't ever have to deal with her." Legolas started walking away but turned around when Shanks asked a question.
"When do you think you will be able to tell me the name?"
"Probably when I tell Aragorn. I need to see what she will threaten if I tell." He then walked to Spanish.
That period went fast for him. Though the teacher kept giving him dirty looks because he had been 30 minutes late to class. When the bell rang Legolas and Boromir walked to the truck to wait for Aragorn to arrive.
"What was up with that?" Boromir asked referring to him being late.
Nothing, just wanted to talk to Shanks. That's all." Though he was lying, Legolas didn't care. He really didn't want to tell Boromir until he was alright with what happened. He then realized that he may never be.
"Sure." Boromir said not convinced that Legolas was telling him the truth.
TBC...
Chapter 8
Boromir walked into fourth period English.
"Mrs. Wood, I really need to speak to Aragorn. It's very important."
"You have two minutes in the hall."
They walked out and Boromir explained what happened with Walker.
"I think we need to teach Benny a lesson about who he can't mess with." Aragorn started making plans in his head about what he was going to do the gay prep.
"Aragorn, no. Legolas promised me and the others not to tell anyone about this. Please don't let on that you know about today. Please?"
"I don't like it but I'll keep my mouth shut for now." Mrs. Wood came to the door telling Aragorn to come in.
"I'll see you at the truck." Boromir said and walked to where the friends were having a cigarette.
"What did you do in the bathroom? Jack off to a picture of Arwen?" Eomer asked as he came back.
"I already have the real thing." Boromir kissed Arwen on the lips to prove his point.
"Yuk, heterosexual sex!" Haldir spoke up. Everyone stopped for a second to think about what he said the laughed.

"Nothing, she's a crack-snorting fool." The entire time Legolas made sure to lean forward in the seat so the welts wouldn't brush against the chair.

"Legolas you're scaring me." Eomer said staring wide-eye at him.
"Sorry."
Spanish went by and Legolas was able to get to the truck.
"Wendy's?" Boromir asked.
"No. I'm tired. Could you drop me off at home? You guys go to Wendy's." Legolas said thinking that way he could deal with the welts and not worry about anyone else seeing them.
"That's fine."
Aragorn stopped the truck in front of the house, Legolas got out with a small 'bye'. And they drove off.
Legolas went into the bathroom and peeled his shirt off. They had stopped bleeding, so there was only dried blood. He took a wash cloth and gently wiped the welts he could reach. Then he turned on the bathtub and stepped under the spray flinching when his wounds throbbed. Three more minutes under the shower and he got out. He dried off and went to the room that he was using and laid on his stomach. He wrote about what happened in the notebook. Leaving out the part about Walker feeling him up. For thirty minutes he just laid there once in a while falling asleep, but waking right back up because of nightmares involving Thranduil or Walker and sometimes both. Legolas hurried and got a shirt on when Boromir and Aragorn walked in.
"So what are we doing today?" Boromir asked already bored of sitting.

"What class do you have now?" Legolas asked while walking away from the office.
"English. You?"
"Math. Thanks Gimli. You being there helped me a lot." Legolas smiled and started walking to his class, while Gimli went to his.
"Tardy, Greenleaf. You're late." Walker said.
"Wow, your smart." Legolas said back. Walker looked at Legolas for a moment.
"Do we need to have another talk after class?" She smiled.
"No," Legolas' teeth clenched at the idea of a 'talk'.
"Then get in your seat." She said with the same smile.
Legolas sat down and didn't say a word for the rest of class.

"Deals with a teacher. A new one."
"Okay what about this teacher?"
"I got in trouble by her and she decided that she didn't like that school's rules."
"What did you do?"
"I didn't. A few friends did. Then Benny said I did."
"Legolas, I won't send you to the office for anything. You don't have to use names either, but explain in more detail. I don't understand."
"Few months ago two friends stole a jar of lube that they found in the teacher's desk. Yesterday another friend asked if he could have the lube. He had put it on the overhead. She walked in and demanded to know who did it. Benny grinned at me, and then told the teacher it was me. She told everyone to leave and told me to go to her office."
"Wait, students aren't allowed in the offices" Shanks said.
Legolas just shrugged. "I didn't know."
"Continue. I'm sorry for disrupting you."
She started talking about how she thought that the school doesn't know how to control the students right and how she was going to punish the kids herself. Few a few minutes I turned to leave and something hit on head. She stuffed a scarf in my mouth and said if I moved or tried to call out she would go get Benny and his friends and let them watch. She...well she did this." Legolas got up and turned and lifted up his shirt. He heard Shanks gasp.
"Holy shit!" Shanks put his fingers close to one of the welts but didn't touch it.
"Is she doing this to others?" Shanks asked.
"I don't know." Legolas pulled his shirt down.
"Come; let's get some stuff on them. Have you done that?"
"Don't have stuff to do that with."
"Well, here just put this on once in the morning and once at night." Shanks pulled a tube out of his bag.
"Thanks." Legolas said. "Coach could you not tell anyone about this?"
"I promise I won't tell anyone, but if you give me a chance then I could make sure she is fired. Here's a note for being late." Shanks walked Legolas out of the class.
"Thank you. I knew I had to tell somebody and everyone is too close to me, to tell. Maybe soon I'll tell Aragorn then people won't ever have to deal with her." Legolas started walking away but turned around when Shanks asked a question.
"When do you think you will be able to tell me the name?"
"Probably when I tell Aragorn. I need to see what she will threaten if I tell." He then walked to Spanish.
That period went fast for him. Though the teacher kept giving him dirty looks because he had been 30 minutes late to class. When the bell rang Legolas and Boromir walked to the truck to wait for Aragorn to arrive.
"What was up with that?" Boromir asked referring to him being late.
Nothing, just wanted to talk to Shanks. That's all." Though he was lying, Legolas didn't care. He really didn't want to tell Boromir until he was alright with what happened. He then realized that he may never be.
"Sure." Boromir said not convinced that Legolas was telling him the truth.
