~Get better soon little Brother~

"What is going on here, oh my god, what are you guys doing, get away from
her!!"shouted Headmaster Harmond as he ripped through the guys to get to
Selena who was curled up in a ball on the ground, blood falling down her
face. 'My god, come Selena, we'll get your nose checked my Nurse Shelly" He
helped her up and handed her over to Daylon, who was standing shocked at how
much blood was running down her face, he put her arm around his shoulder and
held her up, waiting for Harmond to lead the way back to school. "You guys
disgust me, hitting a girl, hitting anyone, I can't believe my eyes, were
you all abused as children, because that would seriously explain why your so
abusive towards others. I can't even look at you guys, you make me sick. You
all have ten months detention, and in school supension, and you are to
apologize to Selena right now!" Headmaster Harmonds face was crimson as he
yelled at the boys who looked like six year olds who had just broken
mother's favourite vase, and were getting yelled at for it. All of them
looked at Selena, and reluctantly said "I'm sorry" then faced Harmond again
who's face colour didn't change. "Now to my office this instance, and if you
so much as go near Selena, or Geneviere again in the near future, I will
make damn sure that you will all have to answer to the police about this
fiasco. I'm gonna phone your parents and tell them how outragiously horrible
their children are, Come with me right now" He stormed off with the boys
ahead of him. "Daylon take Ms. Charmichael to the nurses office please"
Harmonds voice was soft, but immediatly turned back to anger as he yelled at
the boys while they marched off towards the school. Geneviere stood up,
hunched over a little from the pain in her back she had gotten from Chris,
she began walking after Harmond and the boys, looking over her shoulder at
Daylon who was looking at Selena holding her nose.
"Daylon this way, she has to get to the nurses office right away" Daylons
gaze shot from Selena quickly to Geneviere, he nodded his head and began
walking after Geneviere with Selena's arm over his shoulder. Every now and
then Selena would wince in pain if she stepped wrong, or Daylon shifted his
stance, or grip on her.
"Sorry, I am not very good at carrying people"
"It's ok Daylon, neither am I" Selena tried to smile, but as she did, she'd
wince from yet another pain.
They headed out of the thick trees, and came to their fort where Serenity
was, but was now inside drying off and waiting for Selena and Geneviere to
come inside so she could tell them of her story of what happened to her.
Geneviere held open the door for Daylon and Selena to go through and then
headed inside herself, Serenity caught sight of them and stood up
immediatly, her mouth gaping as she saw Selena.
'Oh my god, what happened?" she squeaked as they continued towards the
nurses office.
"Chris and his goons, that's what happened" Geneviere answered angrily and
looked at Serenity who's face said she wasn't surprised by that answer. They
walked the rest of the way in silence, but everynow and then a wince could
be heard from Selena, or Serenity would cough or sniffle from the growing
cold she was getting. Finally after what seemed like an eternity of silence,
they made it to the nurses office and the silence was broken by a squeaky
high pitched voice that belonged to Nurse Shelly, a tall, thin women, with
brown hair held back in a bun, she was a rather homely women, but with a
heart of gold.
"Oh my what happened dear?" Shelly asked, as she began tending to Selena's
nose, who moved away everytime she tried to dab the blood away, even a light
touch sent shocks of pain throughtout her nose, Selena hoped it wasn't
broken. "Please just sit still sweety, I need to clean your nose up if I
want to check to see if it's broken. Now will one of you please tell me what
happened here" She looked from Serenity, who shrugged her shoulders, to
Geneviere and Daylon. Geneviere sat down on a chair, slowly, and began
telling her what had happened, all three of them were listening intently to
the horrific story as Headmaster Harmond came rushing into the room.
"How is she Nurse Shelly?" Shelly jumped at the sudden intrusion, and
looked to Harmond.
"Well her nose isn't broken, it's just gonna hurt for a little while, and
may bruise, now she will have multiple bruises around her body from the
other hits. But as for these boys I hope your gonna give them hell for what
they did, because.." Harmond raised his hand cutting her off.
"I assure you Shelly, that they are getting what they deserve from this,
monstrous act. Selena my dear" she turned to face him, her eyes a little
watery from the pain in her nose. "I'm letting you leave school early, you
and your friends can escort you back to your.. uh... home, and I will make
sure that Ms.Barrow knows of this event." Selena laughed, she knew Ms.
Barrow wouldn't care, she would simply say "she probably deserved it" and
then yell at her for getting hurt. "If you want you can miss Monday and
Tuesday, I'll understand if you want to, I'm really sorry for what happened
Selena" she looked to the ground and then shook her head.
"It's ok, I've had worse happen to me"
"I'm truely sorry for anything they've done to you and your friends, their
parents will be hearing about this, I'll make sure they do" Selena smiled,
but not from happiness, she thought it was funny that Harmond thought their
parents would care what they did to Selena, infact their parents hate Selena
as much as their children do.
"Can I go now?" she said quietly while looking at Harmond, he nodded and
got out of the doorway. Selena got up and headed for the door, Serenity and
Geneviere on her heels, and Daylon right after them. As she headed out the
door Harmond patted her on the back and gave a half smile, there was nothing
else he could think of doing to make her feel better. But there was nothing
that would make her feel better at this point. Today was just another day at
school, name calling, beatings, and harrasment, it's not everyday they get
hurt physically, but they always get made fun of, and Selena was used to it.
Although after a while the words are no longer words, but rocks, sharp
jagged rocks, hurling at them hard, hurting them with every blow. Selena
didn't know how much more she could take it, but there was nothing that
could be done about it, no one would listen, no one seemed to care about the
children of Hawthorne.
Heading out into the crisp cold air that stabbed at the water on Selena's
clothes, making her frozen from head to toe. The smell of rain was in the
air, and Selena knew it wasn't long before they would be drenched in a down
pour. Daylon saw Selena shiver, and took his blazer off, and put it over her
shoulders. Selena feeling his hands on her shoulders, looked at Daylon as he
spoke to her.
"Here, I don't want you to freeze to death" He smiled wide, which made his
eyes sparkle, Selena wrapped her arms around herself helping warm herself.
The blazer helped cut out the wind, and the cold, which made Selena happy,
the last thing she needed was a cold on top of all the bruises she was going
to get. Walking down the big, stone steps, they quickened their step as they
walked past the gardens, heading towards the Academy gates. All of them
couldn't wait to get this day behind them, it wasn't exactly the most fun
day they've had, and they sure didn't want to have any more incidents with
the bullies of Walkerville Academy today. Rounding the gates, Selena gave a
big sigh of relief as she watched the school slowly slip away from sight,
and the orphanage slowly float into sight. She coudln't be more happy to see
the big, looming Hawthorne house, with it's long climbing vines, and it's
run down, broken look that sent away trick or treaters every halloween.
Serenity and Geneviere hurried towards the gate and ran inside leaving
Selena and Daylon standing in the wind, Selena smiled and took off the
blazer, handing it back to Daylon. "Thank you, it really helped keep out the
cold" he took it, and grinned sweetly.
"No problem, I just didn't like you looking so frozen" he put the blazer
back on and began walking away. "Well it was a pleasure meeting you Selena,
I guess I'll see you on Monday, unless you don't come to school then. So ya,
see you, bye" he waved and turned in the other direction, heading towards
his home. Selena took a step forward.
"Wait Daylon" he turned around and looked at her. "Uhh it was nice meeting
you too, maybe you might want to come over sometime?" she began to shake a
little, and she didn't know if it was from the cold, or if she was scared,
but of what? Getting hurt again? Smiling, Daylons hands became sweaty, his
heart started racing, even though she was only inviting him to come over
sometime, it was the first time a girl, especially a girl as beautiful as
Selena, had taken any notice in him, had taken time from her life to talk
with him and to be nice to him with out being dared to. He nodded his head
as he answered her question.
"I'll deffinatly come over sometime, if it's no bother. I live just down
the street" he pointed towards his home which was just a few houses down.
"Your welcome there anytime, I'm sure my parents wouldn't mind"
"I'll come visit sometime, but I'm kind of tired, so I'm gonna head inside"
Selena pointed to the house and started for the gates. "It really was nice
meeting you, I'll see you on Monday I guess"
"Deffinatly"
"Bye Daylon" Selena opened the gate and stopped inside, turning around to
face Daylon as he spoke.
"Bye Selena" he waved, and headed down the sidewalk to his home. Selena
stood there for a few moments, smiled, and turned towards the door. She
didn't know what it was about Daylon that made her so happy, but she knew
there was something special about him that made her drawn to him more. But
she didn't seem to mind, she was excited about meeting a guy that was
everything she wanted, she didn't think that would ever happen.
She came up the creaky old steps of the orphanage and opened the door
quickly. Getting inside she made no delay in heading for her room, as she
made her way down the hallway she could hear Rayne and Diten talking in
their room about their band that they had started a few months ago, Rayne
was the lead singer, and guitarist, Diten was rythm guitarist, Torin was
drummer, and Rupert was the bassist. They were doing quite well, but at the
moment were just getting used to playing together, they were discussing when
to have their next practise which they wanted to do soon. They had made
Selena their manager, and usually she would be in their meetings but at the
moment she was way to tired, and in too much pain to want to go for a
meeting. She stepped into her room and dropped her backpack on the floor,
taking her shoes off she plopped herself onto her bed and with one last look
at her "dream journal" she hoped to not have another nightmare, and drifted
off into slumber.
