A few weeks later I finally go back to school. While I've been off I've been going to work with aaron. He's a mechanic. It was cool to fix cars. I still haven't spoken to Cory and Jordan.
Missy: come on
We made our way to school. On my way in I saw Jordan and Cory but I just ignored them. It was time for form with Mr Bell
Mr Bell: well if this isn't a nice suprise
James: ah missed me sir?
Mr Bell: sit down
I sat next to Daniel.
Mr Bell: class. Right this morning we're just gonna be using this lesson to do some independent work like homework or reading.
James: i ain't reading shit
Mr Bell: well I guess you can catch up on work then huh
James: whatever. How about you give me the work then?
Mr Bell: how about you watch your mouth
James: you know what fuck this. Fucking bullshit
I got up and walked out. I don't know why i was so pissed. It was like everything was just building up. Everything was becoming too much. I was getting so angry and frustrated with myself. I started punching walls and stuff anything in sight. I felt someone wrap their arms around me.
Jordan: hey calm down
James: get off me
His arms got tighter
Jordan: hey it's okay

Jordan's pov
James was struggling to calm down. I guided him to the isolation room.
Jordan: your okay.
James: Jordan please
He was punching and kicking me trying to get out
James: get the fuck off me.
Jordan: calm down
James: if you don't get off I'll fucking kill you. No one likes you. I fucking hate you. *huh* *huh* *head jerking* *tongue clicking*
I knew he didn't mean it. When he gets angry he's always like this. I guess this is dads fault. By being mad and hurtful you'll be left alone. That's what he's trying to do. All of a sudden Cory walked in
Cory: oi that's enough
Jordan: Cory it's fine
Cory: he needs to learn
James realised what he said and he started panicking. He retreated to the corner of the room and was in a position to protect himself. He made his body as small as he could.
James: No no no. I'm sorry. I I'll be good. Dad please. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to
Cory: James I will never hurt you
Cory stepped closer to him
James: Dad I'm sorry
I ran out and bumped into Mr Bell
Jordan: sir it's James quick
We ran to the isolation room. James was still panicking and Cory was trying to calm him down
Mr Bell: what the hell happened?
Jordan: he was angry and I stopped him from punching things and brought him in here. He was still angry and was saying things to hurt me cause he thought it would make me leave him alone. Cory came in and said something and-
Cory: what?
Jordan: you son of a bitch
Cory: I don't do anything
Jordan: what did you say to him huh?
Cory: that he needs to learn... oh shit
Jordan: you fucking idiot
I could see the confused look on mr bells face
Jordan: it's what dad used to say before battering him
Mr Bell: so he thinks he's there
Jordan: mhm

James pov
I felt every punch. Every kick. Every hit my body took.
Jordan: hey Jay your safe. Dads not here. Your okay
My breathing was still heavy. My heart was pounding and my head was feeling a little fuzzy

Jordan pov
All of a sudden it went silent. I could see his eyes glaze over slightly and he was just staring at the wall. After a few second he started blinking and coming around.
Jordan: you okay?
James: m fuzzy. Weird
Jordan: ah shit
I laid him on the floor and rolled my blazer and put it under his head
James: m not like. Scawry (scary).
Cory: hey it's okay. Just let it happen.
James: no weird
He was tryna fight it
Jordan: hey Jay. It's okay. You'll feel better after
Within a few seconds he started seizing. It lasted around 4 minutes before stopping
Mr Bell: what now?
Jordan: we just have to wait for him to come round
After about 30 minutes James started coming around
James: mmm
He started trying to sit up
Mr Bell: you need to stay down for a little bit
Cory: how you feeling?
James: like shit
Jordan: sir can we take him home?
Mr Bell: sure
James: I don't have a home.
Cory: don't be stupid. Of course you do
Mr Bell: we actually need to talk about this boys
Cory: I know what you're gonna say. Just let us have the weekend together please
Mr Bell: I'll see what I can do
Mr Bell left
James: I'm sorry. I know you hate me. I hate me too
Jordan: why would we hate you?
James: I'm the reason we don't have a dad anymore
Cory: it wasn't your fault
James: I told him that it should have been him and not mum.
Jordan: we're not mad or hate you. He was battling them thoughts since mum died. He would have died sooner or later.
Cory: at least with him gone you boys will be safe.
James: you don't know that.
Jordan: right come on let's go
We got him home and James went straight to his room and fell asleep
Jordan: we have to make the most of this weekend.
Cory: course we'll take him to the cinema and that
Jordan: we need to talk to him
Cory: and we will when he's awake
Jordan: he's gonna freak
Cory: I know but we just have to keep him calm
Jordan: tomorrow will be his last day of school. He's definitely gonna be overwhelmed
Cory: we'll handle it
Jordan: imma get dinner I'll be back
Cory: okay
I went and got us kebabs. I got James a kids meal cause I know that he won't be hungry.
Jordan: I'm back
I put the bags on the table and Cory fished them out
Cory: go and wake up James
I went upstairs and shook James awake
James: hmm
Jordan: dinner
James: not hungry
Jordan: come on you need to eat something and you need to take your meds
James: mhm

James pov
I went downstairs and Cory gave me my meds.
Cory: I won't give you your ADHD ones but you have to take this one tho
James: okay
I took it and we went to eat on the sofa

Cory pov
Cory: Jay we need to talk
James: hmm
Cory: we need to talk
James: mhm
Jordan: are you listening?
I looked at James and he was drifting off to sleep
Cory: we'll talk tomorrow. Go on go to bed
Jordan: night
Cory: night
James: night
