The Seashell And The Jewel

Guess whose back? So I'm still working on the other chapters that I mentioned previously, but it turns out I'm a sucker for cliché. I've been seeing a lot of hurt fics. Where Jay will get hurt in Tourney or something and I thought 'Hey let's be even more cringe than normal." So this is the hurt fic but with a twist. By the way Isla has been accepted back into Triton's family and is going to be living with Ariel and her family in the summer. So Ariel has insisted she's Aunt Ariel outside of class.

I only own Isla.

Chapter Six

Isla's POV

"Ouch! That hurts! Stop it!" I said trying to push Jay away from me. We were in his room with the rest of the Rotten Five and Ben with us.

"It wouldn't hurt so much if you stayed still." Jay chided placing a hand on my shoulder, trying to keep me still. "You never used to complain so much on the Isle." He added going back to what he was doing.

"On the Isle we had no real medicine. It was a bottle of vodka and I would drink from that at the same time." I hiss at him while Evie and Mal laugh.

"Well if you didn't hit him none of this would've happened." Evie said with a smirk.

"Don't you start too." I moan at the bluenette.

"Why did you hit him again?" Ben asked me with a light frown.

"First of all, 'hit' implies I hit him once. No I beat Prince Charmlesses ass because he's an asshole. Second if he learnt to keep his mouth shut and his opinions to himself, he would be fine." I say wincing as Jay applied more disinfectant to some of the wounds.

You see what really happened was...

An Hour Earlier

"Babe! What are you doing here?" Jay asked with a large grin on his face. Jay had just finished Tourney practice and I had decided to surprise him.

"Surprise!" I said throwing my arms around my sweaty boyfriend. "I thought we could do a movie night." I explain after letting him go.

"That sounds great babe. Just let me grab a shower. Meet me in the locker room in about ten minutes. No-one else will be there." Jay said with a wink.

"Uh huh." I drawl slightly. "Go shower Stud. Because no offence, but you stink." I say turning my head slightly.

"Okay, okay. Just be there in ten." Jay laughed as he grabbed his stuff and made his way towards the locker room. While I was waiting I texted Evie and Mal to make sure they were still going out with Carlos and Ben. When they both replied yes I turned my phone off and made my way to the boys' locker room.

I hesitantly pushed the door open, just in case there's other guys in there, and when I see no-one I take a seat on one of the benches. The locker room was still steamy and the only other sound was a single shower running. Guess Jay's not out yet.

I was sitting on the bench when I heard the sounds of footsteps coming towards me. The shower was still going, so it couldn't be Jay. So who was it?

"Hello there." Chad purred, as he slinked out of the shadows still dressed in his Tourney wear. "Now what are you doing here?"

"I don't believe that's any of your concern." I said as I casually checked my nails.

"No that's where you're wrong. This is the men's locker room and you are not a man." Chad said leaning against the lockers opposite me.

"Then why are you in here then?" I asked, smirking when his face darkened for a moment before he plastered on a large, obviously fake, smile.

"Oh Isla. You're so funny. You know I always thought you never deserved to be born on the Isle. You just have this air of regality." Chad... purred. I don't know if that's what he thought being seductive sounded like but it sounded like he was choking.

"Oh really?" I pursed my lips. Is he seriously flirting right now?

"Yeah. You look like you were born to be a queen." He said with a wink.

"That's nice. You know, I look at you and think 'He looks like he should've been born on the Isle'. And then when I actually talk to you I think, 'Yeah he should defiantly be on the Isle." I say with a smirk. Chad's smile falls and his face darkens.

"Oh." Chad manages out through gritted teeth. "And how do you see that?"

"I think you know." I tell him, standing to leave. I'm almost at the door when Chad grabs my wrist in a vice grip.

"You villains don't deserve to be here." Chad snarls.

"I'd let go of my arm if I was you." I tell him coolly with a death glare. Chad must be feeling pretty big about himself because he doesn't even flinch.

"I'm the only one who sees the truth." Chad says in his own world. "I'm the only one who sees that you're all still evil. How do they not see that you and Mal are just witches? That Evie is a gold digging whore. Carlos is going to follow in his mothers' footsteps and don't even get me started on Jay-" Is all Chad can get out when I finally snap. I sin around and with that hand that Chad doesn't have a hold of, I slap him so hard he stumbles and has to let go of me.

"You bitch!" Chad snarls and swings at me only for me to duck. It goes back and forth for a minute both of us landing a few hits. Chad's cheek is bruising and his mouth is bleeding. My arms have a few scraps and the wrist Chad grabbed is throbbing.

"Is that all you got Charmless?" I mock before he takes another swing at me. His fist hits my cheek but its weak compared to what I've had in the past. He's about to take another swing when a hand grabs his.

"You really shouldn't have done that." Jay growls at the now scared prince. Jay's face was shrouded in anger and rage. He was only in his jeans and his hair was still dripping wet. Jay's about to talk again when the door bursts open.

"What is going on here?" Ariel says looking around the room in disbelief. "Isla what happened?" Ariel gasped when she took in the sight of us.

"Oh Aunty Ariel, I was just waiting for Jay when Chad came in and attacked me. He started saying all this stuff about how we were evil and then attacked." I told her fake tears streaming down my cheeks. Oh please as if this idiots going to get real tears or sadness. I lived with Ursula for fifteen years, as if this little boy would scare me.

"Oh honey." Ariel cooed before pulling me into a hug. Out of the corner of my eye I see Jay smirk at my performance and Chad frown. "Jay you take care of Isla. Chad you come with me. We are going to Fairy Godmother's office and we are going to talk about chivalry." Ariel said grabbing Chad from Jay and pulling him out of the room. I turn to Jay and wait a minute.

"Are they gone?" I ask with a smirk.

"Yeah babe." Jay said with a smile and pulled me into a hug. "That was a good performance. Almost had me fooled." He said as he cups my face. He scans my face before looking at the scrapes on my arms.

"Jay, I'm fine." I tell him with a small smile.

"No you're not. How did I not hear any of that?" Jay says lowly glaring at the floor.

"It's not your fault. Besides do you know how long I've been waiting to slap that ugly mug of his?" I ask with a wistful smile.

''Come on you. We're taking you back to the dorm to get you patched up." Jay said as he grabbed my hand.

"What I would give to have been there when you slapped him." Mal sighed with a wistful smile.

"What I would give to have filmed him getting his ass beaten by a girl." I add with a smirk.

"You really shouldn't be hitting anyone." Ben started before Mal shushed him.

"Ben, you need to understand if Jay was there when he was flirting with her or when he threw the first punch, he would be so much worse. You need to understand Isle girls don't just wait for a man to save them."

"Yeah. We're not Auradon girls. A prince wasn't going to save to save us on the Isle." Evie added.

"But that doesn't mean we're going to leave you to fend for yourselves." Jay added and Carlos nodded along.

"And we appreciate that." I said and Jay squeezed my hand.

"Alright that should be fine." Jay said putting down the antiseptic.

"Is this where we break out the Vodka?" I joke and everyone but Ben laughs.

"No but this is where we finally get that movie night." Jay says sitting next to me.

"And this is our cue to leave." Evie said flouncing out of the room, dragging Carlos behind her.

"Bye guys!" He called before Evie pulled him away.

"I'll meet you out there." Ben said to Mal. "Get well soon Isla." He is such an Auradon kid.

"Thanks." I replied to the young king. Mal waited until Ben left before turning to us with a smirk.

"So am I giving you the spell book?" Mal smirked wickedly.

"Maybe." I told the purple haired fae. "Depends on if Jay doesn't beat his ass in Tourney."

"You can count on that." Jay growled.

"Is someone upset they didn't get to punch him?" I teased him. His response was to grip my waist tighter.

"Now it's really my turn to leave." Mal said before turning to the door. "Evil dreams, guys."

"Evil dreams, Mal." I said in return. As soon as she shut the door I turned to Jay.

"Is someone upset?" I continued to tease lightly.

"Not funny, Seashell." Jay grumbled.

"You don't need to worry." I tell him.

"Not the point." Jay protested.

"Then what is the point?" I sighed. I love him, I really do but he worries too much.

"The point is, I was right there and I didn't hear anything. You could've been seriously hurt and I didn't hear any of it." Jay murmured.

"Do you really think so little of me?" I ask him lightly. "Do you really think I'd let a prissy little boy hurt me?"

"No. You're stronger than anyone here." Jay said immediately.

"And don't you forget it." I tell him tapping his nose.

"Never." He swore before pecking my lips.

"Good. Now I picked the movie last time so it's your turn." I tell him as I make myself comfortable on his bed. For the rest of the night it's just Jay and I watching movies, curled up together.

The thing about Isle kids and about us was that pain was nothing new. Some people only had themselves but we had each other.
