Emmett´s pov
Without thinking, I rushed across the hall. I pulled away Leon from Jamie. I pressed Leon against the lockers, and growled.
"Sch Emmett." I could hear Rosie say right next to me. "Calm down, Jamie´s alright." I was still growling, but not as loud as before. I lifted my fist, and punched Leon, not very hard. But hard enough to break his nose.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOIGG" Leon shouted, when blood started streaming from his face.
"Jazz," I could hear Alice´s voice behind me. "We gotta get you out of here." I could hear Alice and Jasper walking out of the room.
Carlisle´s pov
I laid in mine and Esme´s bed. I was having a day off, and for once, we had a moment on our own. Just me, and my beloved one. When my cell rang. I reached for it and put it to my ear, and for Esme, the conversation must have sounded something like this.
"Dr. Carlisle Cullen yes? … I understand... mhm... yeah, I´ll be right there. Thank you for calling." I sat up in the bed, and started to pull my sneakers on. "Emmett have been fighting with some guy." I explained to Esme. "Broke his nose, I have to go there and pick him up, and check the other boy´s nose." I stood up, and went to get a doctors´ bag I had in my office. Then I took my coat, and walked out to the car. By the time I got to the school, I started to jog, in normal, human speed. Up the stairs.
"Excuse me." I asked, a teacher I saw inside. "Do you know where the headmaster´s office is?"
"Up three stairs," she pointed, "through the whole corridor last door to the left and then the first door to the right."
"Thank you." I thanked her and then started to jog up the stairs. And through the corridor, it didn´t take me long to find the right door and I knocked the door and opened it. Inside, there sat an old man with grey hair and glasses on the tip of his nose, by a desk. The ones who sat on the other side of the desk, sat with their backs towards me. But I recognized Emmett´s short black hair, and all three of them, turned around when I came in. The one to the left, a big- grown boy with brown hair, held a blood- stained paper pressed against his nose. The one to the left, was a girl, with red hair. Who I recognized even before she had turned around.
"Good you could come so fast." The man leaned forward and put his elbows on the desktop. "I hope I didn´t bother you."
"No, not at all sir." I closed the door behind me, and walked straight up to the boy with the hurted nose.
"That´s broken." I said straight away. I took a grip of his head, and laid my other hand on his nose. "This is gonna hurt, but it´s the fastest, and the best way to do it." I took a steady grip of his nose, and cracked it back to its right position.
"AAH" came from the boy. "WHAT YA` DOIGG?" I didn´t care about his question, just laid my bag on the desk, opened it. And pulled out some new tissues for him. I gave him them and turned to Jamie.
"Are you hurt?" I asked in a soft voice. She shook her head. So I turned to Emmett.
"Are you?" I asked, I knew he wasn´t but, I´d better ask so the others wouldn´t get suspicious.
"No Carlisle."
chair. "How and why did this happen?"
"Guess the kids here can explain for themselves." The man nodded towards Emmett.
"Alright, the first thing I knew about it. I was hearing Jamie screaming. I got there, and saw that Leon here, had pushed her down to the floor. I pulled him away from her, and held him against the lockers." He looked up at me. "And I punched him in the face."
"What about you Jamie?" she shrugged.
"I was thinking about something else, so I walked straight into Leon. Then he pushed me down to the floor. But it wasn´t hard or anything, I over- reacted a bit by screaming."
"I understand, so, what will Emmett´s punishment be?" I looked up at the man again. He sighed.
"The fact remains, that you did it to protect a friend. "he began. "so, I won´t be too harsh on you. But you´re suspended for a week from now on." Emmett nodded. "So I guess we´re done here. Emmett, Leon and Jamie stood up, and walked before me out the door and to the corridor. Jamie walked last, and it would be hard not to see that she was limping.
"Jamie?"
"yes." She stopped, and turned around to look at me.
"What happened to your foot?"
"I hurted it on my way home yesterday, I´ll be fine."
"Would you mind if I take a look at it?" I asked. She sighed, but sat down on a chair and answered no. She started to pull of her shoe and sock.
"Would you mind sir?" I turned towards the man. "Could you leave us alone for a minute."
"Yes, yes of course." The man stood up and walked out the door.
"And how did this happen?" I asked while placing Jamie´s foot onto my lap.
"Nothing, just trod awry:" Jamie said, and snatched when I pressed her ankle
"It hurts here?" I asked.
"It´s not so bad." She mumbled and looked to the floor.
"Can you press your foot against my hand?" I held my palm against her sole, and he pressed her foot against it. I opened my bag again, and pulled out a bandage.
"It seems like a bad sprain," I explained to her. "But if the pain haven´t eased in, let´s say five days. You can come over." I looked up at her. She didn´t look at me, when she started to pull her sock and shoe on again.
"Jamie?" I asked. "You´re ok?"
"I´m fine, why wouldn´t I be?"
"You look very tired." She shrugged. "Are you sure everything´s alright?"
"Look, nothing of this would have happened, if you hadn´t told the others about me having a brother."
"I understand." I nodded slightly. And stroke my chin.
"No you don´t. "Jamie stood up and walked across the room to look out the window. "You weren´t there, you know nothing."
"Jamie," I went to stand behind her. "I want you to tell me, exactly why you´re not letting anyone close."
"Why do you wanna know that?"
"Because I´m your friend" she turned her head and looked at me, and then looked through the window again. "I wanna help you!"
"Because if I don´t let anyone come close to me, or know anything about me… then I won´t have anything to lose."
