A Different Beginning ~ Part 34 ~ Updated: 1/19/15 Late evening  

The nausea didn’t leave my stomach for a while. AP world history was the longest period I had sat through that day. I was on edge. My mind kept thinking of what Dr. Green had said. “You are safe now. We will never let anything hurt you again little love.” I was beyond happy that he had said something so nice to me. No one had ever said anything like that to me before. Nothing like this had ever happened to me before either. But they were like a family to me. I breathed out a soft sigh and continued to follow along with the notes. Family. That was a word I hadn’t heard in a while let alone thought about. I thought of my mother had how her beatings would get worse and worse. They weren’t family. My father was never around and Marie… well Marie definitely didn’t care. But there was something about what Dr. Green had said that bothered me. I flashed back to the meeting in Mr. Hendricks room and I sighed softly. My mind buzzed and I lightly coughed taking a shaky breath. 

North’s hand touched my back and I breathed out slowly. “Easy Baby.” He whispered low enough so that only I could hear and I nodded keeping my eyes focused on the board. Taking down a few more notes I glanced over to the door to look at the time and my eyes met Mr. McCoy’s cold eyes. Our eyes connected and I could barely breath. Turning away instantly I shook hard my foot hitting my desk and sending my books to the ground. North leaned down as I did and helped me. “What happened?” He whispered. 

“The door.” I whispered and North shot a look over to the door and his eyes widened. Picking up my stuff I glanced down at my note book and continued taking notes. I spotted, North taking out his phone and typing to the other’s probably. I took weak breaths trying to continue on with class. 

  Once the bell rang, I stayed close to North as we shifted into the lunch room. Mr. McCoy’s eyes on us. Barely breathing I shifted a little closer to North who wrapped his fingers into mine. Why did the principle want to know so much about the guys? Why was he trying to get to them through me. I barely kept my tears at bay. North had me slip between him and Silas in the court yard and Kota sat across from me. “Sang?” His voice was quiet but I didn’t look up keeping my eyes on the table feeling the eyes of Mr. McCoy on me. 

I could feel Silas tense next to me and he looked to Kota who returned a glance to him. A sandwich was placed in front of me but I couldn’t even take a bite. I looked at North who was pale and his hand brushed mine lightly giving it a squeeze. My heart pounded in pain and I tried hard not to cry. 

“Sang you have to eat.” Kota pushed but I shook my head not hungry and lightly pushed the food away. Luke’s brown eyes caught mine and his hands moved lightly on the table. Signing to me. 

G.O. T.O. N.U.R.S.E 

Biting my lip I shook my head lightly picking at the food in front of me. Tears tumbled over and I hid my face. Nathan placed a hand on the table. “Peanut. He is gone.” I glanced quickly behind me and I breathed out slowly not seeing him there any longer. 

“What’s going on?” Luke whispered instantly. 

“He is watching her.” North responded growling. “Caught him in History watching her through the window in the door.”
