A Different Beginning ~ Part 29 ~ Updated: 1/14/15 Late-evening  

**POV Sang**

I closed my eyes and it felt like fire crackers went off in my chest each time air touched my lungs making them expand. It was obvious that something wasn't right but my mind could only focus on the guys. My mind raced to Mr. Blackbourne and Dr. Green who were probably on their way from school panicking. I wanted to hit myself. This morning I hadn't been careful and this was my punishment. I understood that and it didn't bother me. But the boys. My eyes fluttered open and I met Luke's eyes. The pain and worry was more than evident in his eyes. Meeting North's eyes I saw rage and pain as well. I continued and Nathan and Kota looked about the same both shifting uneasily. I let out a broken breath and I let go of Luke's arms. They didn't deserve this. They should be enjoying their day swimming in a pool or playing with Jess in the back yard. Laughing. I smiled at the thought. When had I truly last laughed before these boys came into my life? I couldn't even find a memory. 

"Little bird?" Luke questioned and I opened my eyes quickly meeting his as he drew me out of my day dream away from everything. I smiled again and closed my eyes giving him a light squeeze letting him know I was still there. They looked at me as though I would die in a moment. I knew better. This wasn't going to lead to my death but every breath still hurt almost making me wish for death. I pushed those thoughts away quickly. What an idiot I was to even let it enter my mind. I wanted a life. I wanted to be amazing and better than my mother in every way and there was no possible way to do that from the dead. 

I forced out a breath trying to focus on the pain. At least I had managed to get North and Luke to bring me to Nathan’s and not the hospital. I wasn’t stupid. I knew that Dr. Green probably had a hard time trying to hide me in the hospital the last time. Let alone the fact that I couldn’t be touched by others. 

The door to the house swung open and my eyes flashed open spotting Gabriel, Victor, and Silas in the doorway. My eyes widened. Had someone called them? I didn’t remember anyone talking about them but I was suddenly surrounded by a number of different scents and I closed my eyes exhaling slowly as the fire in my chest doubled. 

“Trouble.” I heard Gabriel swearing loudly and then a loud thud. My eyes flashed open and I found North and Kota on Gabriel pulling him away from the wall where he had slammed his hand. Something formed in my gut and it was something that I had never felt before. I was mad. 

Sitting up with a struggle, I leaned against the couch and felt hands on my shoulders. Luke was pushing me back down but there was another loud thud and Gabriel broke away from Kota and North and aimed his hand at the wall again. I pushed Luke away hard and stood. No one was focusing on me but Luke. His hands rushed to mine supporting me and I leaned against his chest. 

“Stop it.” My voice barely got loud enough to be a whisper and I got madder. I took another breath and I watched Gabriel swing at North. 

“ENOUGH.” I said in my loudest possible voice and everyone turned. North and Gabriel turned frozen in a struggle. I managed a ragged breath and my eyes met Gabriel’s in a glare. “Don’t you dare aim your hand at that wall or North again.” I growled under my breath but I knew everyone heard me. 

Their hands fell in shock and Luke’s hands locked harder onto mine and I could feel a light rumble of laughter in his chest. His arms reacted instantly though as my legs got weaker and he held me up. “Sang.” He whispered. “You need to lay back down.”
