TRIGGER WARNING// VIOLENCE AND BULLYING

~COREY'S POV~

The time flew by and Jackson left me alone almost the whole time, well aside from the nasty death glares he keeps shooting my way anytime he get. When we had math after Chemistry he sat closer to me and the glaring was even worse but luckily or unluckily Nick was sitting with me and he would glare back at Jackson for me but I felt like a burden to them, all of them

I don't want Jackson and his goon squad to start targeting them now as well repeating past incidents. Physics was after Math and that one I had to endure alone but just my luck there was Jackson glaring at me again although it was uncomfortable and creepy I rather that than his fist in my face or something worse

Finally lunch rolled around and I was the first out of class trying, hoping to find somewhere to hide before Jackson and his friends started looking for me. I was speed walking to the library when an arm roughly pulled me away from the library off to the side and into a small room

"Hey Corey I see that you made a bunch of new friends" Jackson said in a sing song voice as he locked the door behind him. My heart was racing a mile a minute as he began taking a step towards me and I in turn take a big step away but the room was crazy small and on the fourth step my back was already against the wall

"You tryna replace me now" he feigned hurt "that really hurt my feelings Corey, so now I kinda want to release that sadness y'know what I mean" he glared down at me as I just stood there preparing for what's inevitably gonna happen and like clock work it did a sharp pain shot through my abdomen as his fist collided with me

I doubled over in pain and he starts to laugh lightly "I didn't want it to come to this Corey but you were ignoring me all day and that really hurt my feelings y'know" I was on my knees with my hand around my stomach wheezing from his first blow when he grabbed me by the hair and forced me to look at him when he brought his knee up to land another blow to my stomach before roughly pushing my head to the ground.

The tears were burning my eyes ready to fall at any moment but I willed it away. The last thing I want is for Jackson to see me in such a pathetic state as to be crying so I didn't instead I wrapped my hands around my stomach and just try to catch my breath. Knowing Jackson he was far from done with me as he get some sick pleasure from seeing me all beaten up and weak

As I predicted Jackson pulled me off the ground and slammed me in the wall all while keeping a playful smile on his face "oh boys you can come in now" Jackson sang and two students that's always with Jackson stepped into the room and once again locked the door behind them each wearing their own disgusting playful smile on their faces "beat him all you want just don't leave any scars in obvious places" he ordered and stepped back

The first guy stepped up and immediately punched me in stomach as the second one grabbed my hair preventing me from falling to the ground. The fist guy then again punched me over and over and over again all over my abdomen "no fun Mason hold him so I can get a hit in" the one holding my hair spoke up suddenly

"Why should I" the other guy, Mason challenged

"You son of a bitch don't hog all the fun!" the other shouted

"Make this quick and shut the hell up I'm getting bored over here" Jackson spoke up from his position to leading on the door. The small cramped room made it hard to breathe in and with these three in here hell bent on torturing me made my now throbbing stomach hurt even more

"Fine" the Mason and the other guy mumbled as mason grabbed my hair now giving the other full access to my body as he unleashed his blows one after another. At this point it was hard not to cry out as the pain in my abdomen was becoming so unbearable that I just wanted to scream out in pain

Jackson signal them to stop after a few minutes of them beating on me and as they let go of my hair I dropped to the ground in pain hugging my stomach and trying my best not to just throw up right there "Welcome back to school Corey" Jackson smiled as he stepped forward and stooped down and grabbed my hair once more to make me look at him "and I would suggest you avoid those guys that is unless you want to make me sad again" he patted my cheek with his free hand before he and his friends opened the door and exited leaving me alone in the dimly lit closet

With them gone I just spent the rest of lunch hurled up in the janitors closet just silently crying cause any sound I make make my stomach throb in pain and movement I made was unbearable as the pain just wouldn't quit

After the bell rang signaling the end of lunch I made no effort to move again after I managed to get myself in a sitting position. Not only was the pain of moving incredibly unbearable I also didn't want anyone to see me and my tears stained face so I just stayed put. Time went on until I cradled myself into the fetal position and wrapped my hands around my knees and just fell asleep hoping and praying that Jackson and his friends didn't come back, that nobody opened that door and came in here but as luck would have it the door did open again and instantly I'm awake, heart pounding against my chest. Why?! Why for once can't just the small things go my way

"Corey what the hell what are you doing in here did you skip the entire day?" Nick questioned hurrying to my side to try to get a look at my face

"Just leave" I mumbled out in a hoarse voice but Nick stayed put "Please just leave me alone" I say a little louder but once again he didn't move

"Did Jackson do something to you?" he asked completely ignoring my previous request "If you want I can take you to the nurse or I can-"

"I'm fine" I cut him off looking up at him with the best smile I can muster "so you can just go home kay"

"BULLSHIT!!" he cursed startling me "your not okay1!! if you were you wouldn't be curled up in a ball and crying in the janitors closet"

"I'm not crying" I protested

"Your face is stained with tears and your voice is hoarse and your still gonna deny it?" he sighed shaking his head "come on get up I'll drop you home" he said getting up before pulling me by my arm to get up as well only for me to wince in pain. Although the pain is not as intense as it was earlier today it was still there.

Hearing me wince Nick dropped my hand with wide eye and just waited for me to answer but I didn't so he just grabbed both my arms before inspecting them then he yanked up my black hoodie and pulled it up to examine my stomach where he just stared at the bruises that have now turned a dark purplish black color

"Corey who the hell did this to you?" Nick asked anger lacing his tone but why was he angry tho?

"It's nothing" I dismissed before yanking my clothes down to cover back my body. Nick was clearly upset by my answer as he just took a step back glaring at me but for some reason it didn't feel like he was glaring at me but just in my direction if that made sense

"Corey get up we're leaving" he commanded. I didn't move so he just stepped up to me before scooping me up princess style and heading out. A voice told me not to protest cause it would've been futile so I didn't I just stayed put while Nick carried me all the way outside of school and to his car before carefully strapping me in as to not cause me even more pain.

Without saying a word Nick just started the car and drove off in an relatively comfortable silence. I guess this is how I part from this world kidnapped by a handsome teenage boy never to be seen again. Well there is worse ways to go out I guess...

...Wait what?!
