If Only ✔

Chapter 30.

After the fight Matt gave, Andrew some clothes and made him sleep somewhere else. Matt has been comforting me and helping me a lot. They're not the only ones who were hurt by the fight.

Weeks passed slowly and boring. I sat alone, didn't talk to anyone. I'm usually reading a book or studying. I'm not sure what's going on with the others but I have never seen the basketball team so quiet. I know that Daniel went back to his old asshole self for some reason. Playing girls, drinking,partying,skipping classes. I'm disappointed. Andrew looks depressed and that's all I know.

The thing about me is that I'll be mad but deep down I've already forgiven you. I'm very forgiving. I just don't talk to you or pretend to be mad so you can think about what you've done. So that you can learn your lesson or so you can feel how I feel. But I've already forgiven you.

I enter Music and see Daniel and Julie making out in the corner. I roll my eyes

"Get a room or get STD's." I yell at them. People start laughing as Julie turns bright red with anger and embarrassment.

"YOU!" She says storming to me. I look at her with a scared face and she smiles triumphly

"No no please don't come closer. I'm scared of clowns" I say making her smile fall and everyone roar of laughter

She slaps me and because she's wearing  huge rings it leaves a scratch or bruise most likely. I take a deep breath,clench my fists, close my eyes and count 1-10.
From the corner of my eye I see the teacher coming closer and I smirk.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I'm being pushed to the ground. Julie kicks me in the gut and slaps me again on the same cheek. Daniel pulls her off me and yells at her. The teacher comes in and I reach out to her before Julie can.

"Oh my gosh!!! Verdana what happened???" She asks

"Julie slapped me a-and kicked me in the gut. Over and over." I say crying. Feast your eyes on this amazing acting skills.

The teacher goes up to Daniel and tells him to bring me to the clinic while she handles Julie. Daniel nods and rushes to me. He picks me up bridal style  and walks to the clinic.

"Daniel?" I say and he looks at me with wide eyes

"Yeah???" He responds with much happiness in his eyes

"You can go. I can walk to the clinic myself." I say and he shakes his head

"No. You're hurt." Daniel says and I groan

We get to the clinic and the nurse gasps at me. She takes me to the beds and starts treating me. Daniel has left and I sigh. Of course.

A few minutes later while the nurse was putting some ointment on my stomach Andrew comes in with the others ,minus Daniel, trailing behind him. He sees me and rushes to my side he was about to take my hand but decided against it.

"Hey Verdana..." Andrew says and I nod at him

"How are you feeling?" Bella asks and I give her two thumbs up

"You need anything?" Chris asks and I shake my head

"Are you ok?" Logan asks and I nod

They all sigh and nod. They're about to leave when I chuckle. Okay...I guess it's time to forgive them.

"Whoever gets me mint chocolate chip ice cream, the one from my house, can hug me" I say and they turn to look at me. They're eyes are wide as I give them a smile

"No one? Okay no hugs then" I say and Andrew immediately runs out. The others run out too and Simone stays.

"Verdana? Can we please start over? Please? I just really want to be friends and I don't want you to think I'm a bad person" she says and I narrow my eyes at her making her about to cry

"Reese's peanut butter cups and we're okay." I say and she smiles. I expected her to run out to buy some but she reaches in her bag and hands them to me

"I never leave the house without it." She says

"So friends?" She says hopefully. She holds out her hand for me to shake and I take it and pull her into a hug

"Friends." I say and she hugs me. We pull away smiling widely and talk while waiting for the others. I guess I see why the others like her. We have so much in common it's insane.

Andrew bursts through the door and hands me the ice cream. The others following with curses. I smile and open my arms for them all. They all rush to hug me. They were all telling me they're sorry and that I will always be their bestest friend. That they're thankful for me and will never replace me. They'll never let me go ever again. I felt tears on my shoulder and I turned to see Andrew crying while hugging me

"I love you baby sis" he says

"Heh...love you too big bro." I say and he cries more tears of joy when I call him brother. He hugs me so tight and kisses my forehead

"We're so happy you're back Baby V."
