Luca's POV
It's been a week since i have been staying with Thomas,
The first 2 days was weird as i was still not sure about the accommodation arrangements but now am comfortable with him,
and i told him more about myself, a little about abuse(not everything as we never know when he will change his mind about being my friend)
Tyler went back home as her dad wanted her back as its been almost three days without seeing her
but after school she comes to hangout with us as i was not allowed to go to school yet and as she's now dating Thomas
Funny how they told me after i caught 'em kissing outside as i came back from the Pack hospital
Talking about that hospital, its really a suspicious and weird place.
The time i went for my sessions, it was always so busy and scary especially when you hear strange sounds or should i say growls and shouting that never end. If it wasn't the shouting it was the silence as if they had mind teleportation
Or how the people who visited patients and some nurses would stare at me as if i was an alien in their home land
The scariest day was yesterday(Monday) which was my last session with Dr Joe,
An ambulance came with a lot of people bleeding . I would have guessed that there was a bug or virus going on in this place the way they were so many but no, what was strange was how each were either bitten on their neck or stabbed by some kind of a wild animal
which made me cringe btw
Maybe that's why i didn't know about this hospital, myb it was made for people who are extremely hurt and that's how i concluded with my mind
But at the back of my mind i still wondered how did Thomas knew of that place and why he took me there
Other than that , well I fell more alive and chilled here, i haven't even thought about cutting,
My ribs has healed and i have gained more meat on my bones, not that much as it will take some time
I felt happy and i haven't had that emotion in the longest time
Maybe it was because i haven't seen my father and i was safe for now
I knew sooner or later i had to do go back and face him and i am so sure i will get more than a beating since i disappeared while he was gone
For now am not going to think of that, i will take as am offered until it last.
____________________________________________________________-
Today is Tuesday, the day am going back to school and maan! am so dreading it
Not because of school work
no, Thomas and Tyler came with the work they did at school&homework and we did them
I'm dreading school because Tyler told me that there was a rumor that Barbie was spreading about me,
She's busy telling people that i fainted because i just got my first kiss by my locker
I thought that day no one saw me fainting as it was right after lunch and learner went to their classes
i guess she's the only one who witnessed but also had a big misconception about what happened
I was waiting for Thomas downstairs as i drunk my coffee,
the fact that i was going back to school made me nervous causing me to not have much sleep yesterday hence me drinking coffee
As soon as Thomas came, we went to school
huh here goes nothing i thought as we entered by the door
"Man , my rab..." Thomas cleared his throat
I knew he was about to say 'my rabbit' as he calls Tee by that, i rolled my eyes at that
"I mean Tyler said she's 5 minutes away and i have to go submit my project to Mr Zyan now before he rufuse to take it. Will you go with me or you're going to your locker and i will meet you there when i come back?", He asked
"It's fine , as you said Tyler is 5 minutes away from school so you will get by her locker or mine. I will be okay" , I dismissed his offer as i walked to my locker
Did i tell you about what i hate about Thomas and Tyler?
I so hate how they always wanna babysit me as if when am left alone i will go into danger
As i was about to open my locker lost in my mind...i inhaled deeply and exhaled
Don't think about it
Don't think about it
i told myself
Barbie shut it my locker loudly snapping me out of my mind', making people stop and stare
I looked her startled
"What is it Barbie", i asked as i took a step back
"What is it Barbie?", she said mocking me taking a step closer to me as she turn my arm making my back hit the locker
"Yo Ariana!, just because he had his first kiss he thinks he now has some power to question me", Barbie shouted
Ariana, her bestfriend or should i say followers/minions laughed with some students joined as some threw me concern and pity looks
"Where is she by the way? Oh poor baby boy, did she steal your first kissed and run away?",
I really didn't want to talk about her especially with the person who's asking now
Barbie held my shoulder with one hand tightly
Reminding me of what happened that day here by the lockers
I can feel that i'm about to have a panic attack as i closed my eyes to control my breathing and heart that was beating fast because of fear
"Or did she she go away you fainted ,seeing that you a weak for a boy", she laughed
I huffed lowly as i could feel my eyes sting with tears
that one hitted home
I mean i haven't seen Rosa after that day,
It seems like she disappear and cleared her existence as Thomas didn't where she was or went.
Maybe Barbie is right,
i still might not understand what happened but maybe she really ran away after seeing how weak i am
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!", Tyler shouted cutting me from my thought as she appeared with Thomas following her
I don't know what Thomas said to Barbie as Tyler was trying to make me snap out of the panic attack but when i open my eyes i saw students walking away from the 'big scene' they saw
and Barbie with Ariana were no where to be found
"Do you want to go back home?", Tee asked
I shook my heard
After i calmed down we went to the assembly as the bell rang
The school went uneventful which i was grateful for as this mornings incident drained me
And by all means i avoided every place i knew Barbie would be spotted at.
