I Don't Need Your Help (wxg)

Chapter 17: Investigation

Ms. Benoist's POV
"Did you want something Ms. Benoist?"
"Yes, I did." I said with a strict voice. "First of all, you didn't pay any attention AGAIN and second how was your weekend?" She furrowed her eyebrows and bit the inside of her cheek. "Um, yeah it was good." I squinted my eyes at her. "Yeah? And what did you do?" "Why?" Please don't get suspicious. "No reason. Just curious." She looked down at her feet and gulped. She's getting nervous. "I went out with my boyfriend and then we watched some movies." I clenched my jaw, my eyes darkening a little. "Hmmm okay, what about that bruise, that's on your wrist? Was that your boyfriend's work?" I asked with my eyebrows raised. She quickly put her arm behind her back. "W-what? No of course not." She tried to laugh it of. "I just w-walked into a cupboard this morning. It's not a big deal." I sighed, I wish she would trust me enough to tell me the truth. "Well, that's all, you can go now." I dismissed her. "Have a nice day Ms. Benoist." She walked out. "You too." I sighed.

I walked to my desk, sat down and took my phone out of my pocket to text Chyler.
Me: Hey Chyler, so I asked Y/N those questions.
Chyler😊: And what did she say???
Me: She said that her weekend was good and that her boyfriend🤮 took her out and they watched some movies.
Chyler😊: Okay. Did she have any bruises???
Me: Yep. She had a bruise on her right wrist and when I asked her if her boyfriend did it, she nervously laughed and said that she walked into a cupboard.
Chyler😊: Yeah right! I'm gonna ask her the questions when she comes to work and then I'll let you know.
Me: Kay. Bye! Good luck.
Chyler😊: Thanks. I'm gonna need it. Bye, love you!
Me: Love you too

I put my phone down and waited for my next class to arrive.

Chyler's POV
I heard the door bell signaling that someone was coming in, so I looked up and saw Y/N walking to me. I smiled and hugged my friend. "Hi Chyler." "Hey, how are you? How was your weekend?" I asked her. "I'm good and my weekend was great." She nodded her head. "Yeah? Did you do something fun?" "Um, yeah m-my dad and I went camping actually s-so yeah, that was fun." She said avoiding eye contact. Well now we know she's lying. "Oh really? That sounds cool." I raised my eyebrows at her. "Yeah it was. Anyway, I'm gonna go put my apron on, so I can get to work." I only nodded at her and grabbed my phone, so I could text Melissa.
Me: So Y/N was definitely lying about her weekend. She told me she went camping with her dad.
Melo jello: Yeah, I kind of expected the lying. What about the other stuff?
Me: I haven't asked her that yet. I'll text you when I get my answers.
Melo jello: Alright. Later!
Me: Bye

Y/N came back and I prepared myself to ask her the question. "So, I heard you have a boyfriend." I asked her while making a coffee to make it look casual. She looked at me with furrowed eyebrows. "Umm, yeah. Who told you that?" "Melissa, so what's his name?" She looked at me and I noticed she was starting to get nervous. "His name's Blake." I passed the coffee to the customer and smiled at them. Then I put my attention back to Y/N. "Is he a good guy?" I asked her. "Y-yeah, he um, he's great." Hmmm, yeah no, I'm not buying it. "That's good."

After a while of working I saw Y/N's sleeve roll up and saw that bruise Mel was talking about. "What happened to your wrist." She turned her head to me. "What?" "Your wrist. What happened?" She looked down at her wrist and quickly covered it. "O-oh um, my d-dad and I were just messing around a-and I fell on my wrist." She nervously scratched her neck. "Well I hope it gets better." I said to her. She's definitely lying.

Later
I locked the door to the coffee shop and went to my car, when I was in I took my phone out and texted Mel.
Me: I'll be over in 15 minutes

After a while my phone digned signaling I had a new message.
Melo jello: Kay 😘

I arrived at Melissa's house. I unlocked the door and walked in. I have a key to her house, because we're practically sisters so...
"Hey Chyler, I missed you." She greeted me with a hug. "I missed you too, Mel." We sat on her couch with wine and cuddled. "So? Did you ask her about that bruise?" Melissa asked me. "Yep. She told me she was messing around with her dad and she fell on her wrist." She raised her eyebrows and scoffed. "Wow." "Yeah." I sighed. "Oh and she also told me that Blake is a great boyfriend, but she was stuttering the whole time, so she was most definitely lying." Melissa closed her eyes and sighed. "We should meet at the coffee shop or something and confront her about this. Chyler I think her boyfriend is abusing her." I saw the tears in her eyes, so I hugged her. "Aww Melissa, it's going to be fine. We're going to help her okay?" She nodded her head with sad eyes.
