Chapter 33
+25 Bonus
I got out of two weeks of going back to school, not including the days I was in the hospital. And once Liam let Cole and Walker be my sole guardians, I slept most of the second week. My doctor says I’m good to go back I just have to be careful of my head. The fracture in my skull hasn’t completely healed. I still have my cast on my arm, but I guess that’s safe since it has protection. My ribs don’t hurt that much anymore, and my bruises are all a gross greenish yellow color, almost healed. I’d like to just stay home and finish everything at home, but I know my mom would want to stay here with me, and she can’t afford to do that. So, I guess I’m going back to school
tomorrow.
It’s for the best maybe my protection detail will decide I’m healed enough to take care of myself and leave me alone.
I walk outside the next morning, finally taking in the fresh air, and see I’m not that lucky. Liam’s car is parked in front of my house and he’s outside it, waiting for me. I internally groan, already feeling the headache starting. I ignore him and start walking to school, my body still hurts a little too much to ride my bike. I hear footsteps behind me. “Amy, I promised your mom I’d get you to school. That’s all this is.” Liam pleads. I stop to look at him, he has on a tight black shirt hugging his every muscle and dark denim jeans on. If I didn’t hate him, I could understand why girls are crazy about him. “Liam, I really can’t do this today. Okay? If nothing else I’ve been coped inside my house for two weeks, I just want to be in the open air for a minute.” I respond. He nods but doesn’t leave.
I keep walking. When I look back, I see he’s walking about ten feet behind me. It’s making me uncomfortable, ” If you’re going to stalk me, can you at least walk in front of me.” I ask, not liking that I can’t see what he’s doing behind me. “Aims, if I was trying to hurt you it wouldn’t matter where I was. I just want to make sure you get to school safe, okay?” He says, and I barely hear what he says after he calls me Aims. I stop walking and glare at him. “Do not call me Aims. It’s not my name, my name is Amy and Amy only!” I shout and forget to care turning around walking as quickly as possible to school.
I walk past all of Liam’s goons and don’t even bother to glance their way. They mean nothing to me anymore, all they do is remind me how stupid and gullible I was. I walk into school and before I can get too far, I’m swarmed by people, but I soon realize it’s not for me. It’s for my shadow, everybody’s shouting happy birthday to Liam. I glance back at him and see him trying to get to me, but the people are making it difficult. I use it to my advantage and take off towards my locker.
I forgot all about it being Liam’s birthday today. He turns eighteen today. Good, maybe he’ll find his mate and leave me alone. I go to my locker and throw my backpack down inside it. I rummage through it until I find my pills, today’s going to be a long day. I take the pill and try and take a deep breath. My ribs still making it hard to do that, I slightly wince in pain. “Are you okay? Are you in pain?” I hear Dallas’s voice. I chuckle humorlessly and mumble under my breath. I don’t bother answering or looking at him, I just grab my books and start making my way to my first class. Cursing myself the whole way. How am I suppose to stay away from them -like I’m ordered if they don’t leave me alone?
Once I finally get there, I sit down and grab my book to start reading, since school doesn’t start for another ten minutes. As people start coming in and noticing me, I start getting to hear some of the whispered rumors. “I heard she slept with Liam, and Clara tried to kill her.” I chuckle to myself, that ones not far off. “I heard she did it to herself to get sympathy.” Yes, I fractured my skull to get sympathy, Goddess some people. I don’t say anything, they can all think what they want to think.
Second period was more of the same. I tried to sit far away from Walker though, and that started new rumors

because we had been hanging out and sitting next to each other in class since we became ‘friends’. As we were leaving someone behind me was whispering about how I was actually sleeping with Liam, Walker, Dallas, and Cole and someone decided to put me in my place. I hear commotion behind me, and when I look back Miller is laying on the floor covering his face. I look up and see Walker pissed and a couple football guys holding him back. Wonder if he’s mad that he’s included in the rumor. He glances over at me, but I just turn around and walk
out.
Finally, it’s lunchtime, and I see Mia. I go and sit at the table and wait for her to get through the line. I’m not hungry, this day has been too stressful for me to eat. When she finally comes to sit across from me, the rumors start up again. I look over at the guys’ table and see them all glancing at me. The kids around me aren’t even trying to whisper anymore.
