I’ve spent a week in my room, healing from Clara’s latest beating. This was by far the worse I have received. Mia’s been bringing me my homework, and the teachers are emailing further work, they know with all my free time I’ll get even further ahead. Which is great, I’m already so far ahead I’ll probably be able to graduate before my senior year. Then, I can get away from the she devils and Liam’s goons.
I haven’t seen much of the guys, I’ve only seen them while looking out my window. For some reason they’re hovering around my house, day and night. It’s quite unnerving, I don’t know why they’re here. Are they planning another attack? Liam said he wants names of the people who did this, but he already knows. He’s the reason it happened. Is he just trying to get me to snitch so he has another thing to attack me for? Well, that isn’t happening, I’ll take her name to my grave. I won’t even tell Mia, even though she thinks she knows, I won’t confirm it. I don’t even know for sure if there was a fourth attacker, and if there was, who it was. They did most of the beating and that’s probably what Clara and the girls would use to get out of trouble.
I told Mia that it was a setup from Dallas and the guys, but I told her they weren’t the ones that followed through. I also mentioned the threats I received. At this point as long as I don’t confirm who it is no one will ever know, my mom told me that the cameras in the band room were turned off, so, nobody has any solid proof. I’m not going to out Clara, I don’t know how far her reach is. Even if I took Clara down, I’m sure there’s going to be someone behind her ready to take over for her.
This last beating has me scared. I was close to death this time, I don’t know, that might have been their end game, but I don’t think it was. I think it was a warning, one last warning to leave the guys alone. Not a problem, she made it very clear they want nothing to do with me. Though, that’s why I’m confused why they’re outside my house. I can take a hint and leave them alone, but it makes it that much harder when they’re this close.
I see Mia pull up and I look at the clock, she usually comes by after school. I haven’t been sleeping well, or eating much so my body isn’t regulating time right. I watch Dallas run up to her when she starts walking up the driveway. I can’t hear anything, but her eyes are on fire. She hates all of them as much as I do now, but I can see in her eyes that she’s having a hard time believing they would do this. She pushes him aside and tries to get inside the house, when she runs into Liam. They both look exhausted like they haven’t slept all week. I know they haven’t gone to school, because they’re always here. I wish they’d leave, I’d like to get some fresh air, but I can’t risk it. I don’t want to talk to any of them. She yells something at them and pushes past them. I know Liam’s letting her go, he’s the future Alpha if he wanted her to stay, he could make it happen. Once Mia passes him, he looks straight at my window. His eyes are pleading, but I don’t wait to see more. I go sit on my bed and start my homework again. I grab the pain pills from my side dresser and pull one out. My heads starting to hurt again, and I’ve learned the hard way that I need to stay on top of it.
Mia comes in and flops backwards onto my bed, sighing loudly. I stare at her questioningly, “You good?” I ask her. She flips her body over so she’s on her belly looking at me, her hands underneath her chin. “They want to know why you aren’t sleeping. They’re worried you won’t heal if you don’t rest.” She breathes out. “I didn’t know you weren’t sleeping. Should I get your mom to give you your sleeping medicine? I know she stopped, because you told her you were sleeping.” She says accusingly. I sigh, of course they’re ratting me out. Anything to get me into trouble. Why do they want me to sleep so bad? So, they can kill me easier? Hell no. They’re the reason I’m not sleeping, but I don’t say that. “I’m fine, Mia. I’m sleeping fine, they’re probably just trying to start shit.” I reason hoping she’ll take my side. She looks me over, and gives me a suspicious look, but doesn’t say anything more about it.
Mia fills me in on some school gossip and some of the rumors going around about what happened to me. There are also rumors about why Liam and his goons haven’t been to school. I just listen while, I do some more of my

homework. Mia leaves around seven and says her goodbyes. I watch her leave, because I don’t trust the guys not to hurt her. I might not be able to help her, but I can call for help and try like hell to help her. She makes it to her car without them bothering her, so I go sit back down to keep working.
