A/n: this is like an aftermath of what happened with Trystan. And also the fact that Aurora is still trying to get in the way of things. Also people may or may not admit their feelings probably to each other but to other people. Again it's mostly from Trystan's POV it might change though.

Trystan

After I punched Aaden, which was soon going to give me very sore knuckles, I saw Jessie completely passed on the floor.

Shit, shit, shit, shit! I thought, I looked at her and ran over to her.

"You idiot, look what you've done!" I screamed at Aaden. I shook her trying to wake her up but she wouldn't budge.

Aaden looked at her, and laughed. He fucking laughed. "She's faking it, I can't believe your falling for this! Just like she faked having anxiety attacks. That's what she does." He rolled her eyes.

"She's never faked anything you idiot, you're just stupid to realise that she's actually ill, and not well. If she was faking this, this she would've woken up. She's not waking up! You slammed her against a wall you idiot, you could've killed her." I got up and grabbed him before slamming him against a wall, "how does it feel to be slammed against a wall, hmm?" I asked, I was so angry I walked over to her again and picked her up, taking her to the nurse.

As I did this I walked past Sarah, Emi and Rachael who ran over to me.

"What the hell happened?!" Sarah exclaimed.

"Aaden happened, I'm going to be in big shit for this but I really do not care." I said, "I'd get expelled for Jessie if it meant protecting her from pricks like Aaden."

Sarah smiled at me, "you're a good guy Trystan, he deserved it," she turned back to see if anyone was behind us and sure enough Aurora was comforting Aaden before coming over to us. "We need to go, like now! They're following us." I turned around and saw them.

"Yeah, let's go." I said before we started walking quicker to the nurse's room.

**
We soon got to the nurses room and I lay Jessie down on the bed.

"What happened?" The nurse exclaimed seeing Jessie knocked on the bed.

"I got into a fight, she was trying to stop and the guy knocked her against the wall." I said, "I mean something happened and he was trying to grab her before which is how I got into the fight. I'm worried about her, is she okay?" I asked, there was worry in my eyes and she could see it.

"We need to get her to a hospital but she should be fine, alright? Don't panic, she needs to be checked out just do not let that boy near her. Can you tell me the boys name?" She asked, "we need to check him out to see if he has a history and if he does we need to get him expelled, this is very serious."

I nodded, "his name is Aaden that A-a-d-e-n but I'm not sure about his last name."

"I'll get someone to check on the system for all the Aaden's and we'll show the pictures we have on them and we can find out what this boy's last name is." She explained.

"Thank you." I said, relieved. I turned to Sarah.

"Jessie didn't mention his last name to you, did she?" I asked.

"She might have, but, I can't actually remember. Sorry."

"Don't worry, not your fault." I said.

A couple of hours later

Sarah and I arrived at the hospital. A nurse came over to us asking about Jessie.

"We're here to see her." We both said at the same time.

She looked at us, "we're not sure what's wrong with her at the moment but we're going to do some tests and we should know in a few hours." She smiled, "for now you can see her, but she's still unconscious."

"Go in first, she's your best friend. She needs you." I said.

Sarah rolled her eyes. "She needs you too, you numpty, now go see her first before I make you." She warned.

"You're scary sometimes, you know that?" I asked.

"I know, it's a gift and a curse." She smirked and pushed me toward Jessie's room.

I went to her room, to find her laying what looked like peacefully — though I wasn't sure if she was or not — sleeping. I sighed and sat next to her and held her hand.

A nurse at that point came in, smiling at me.

"We've got some of her test results back it looks like she has internal bruising as well as external. We also found scars on her as we were checking her over from around 6-12 months ago. It looks like these bruises and scars were caused by someone not only who may have caused her bruising that she got today but from herself." She said. I frowned, confused.

"What do you mean where are the scars?" I asked, the nurse took one of her arms and showed the inside of her wrists. Horizontal cuts. Shit.

"I'm guessing you didn't know about this?" She asked, I shook my head.

"I've only known her for like 4 months I knew she had anxiety but I didn't know that she did this. Does this mean she had some sort of..."

"Depression? It is hard to tell, but it is likely." The nurse said, "she'll be okay, the fact that the cuts are now scars means she's been clean for around 6 months. We are waiting for more tests but we will find out if she had a mental disorder."

I groaned, "I can't believe this." I mumbled, "thank you, and she's going to be okay?"

"Yes she should be, though a long with bruising she may have a broken rib or two since the fact that she was thrown against a wall, it is likely." The nurse said, "I'll come by and check on her later but for now I'll leave you here with her."

"She did cut herself and she did have some sort of depression, along with anxiety." A voice said, a voice that I did not want to hear at all.

"I thought you thought she said she fakes anxiety, which is most likely impossible?" I asked.

"Oh I didn't believe her, I read her doctors letters saying that she wasn't turning up to her appointments that she was scheduled for." He said.

I rolled my eyes, "what else do you know that I don't?" I asked, "that you're the reason why she has faded bruises on her skin?" I raised an eyebrow.

He shrugged, "so what if I did?" He asked, "she deserved it, she always deserved it when she didn't listen to me." He said in a 'duh' tone. I wanted to punch so much at that minute but considering a nurse was about to come in when he mentioned about hurting her. She actually over heard him talking.

"You need to leave." She said, "now! Before I call the police."

Aaden laughed and said, "fine, I never loved her anyway, she can die for all I care." And with that he left.

"You're just going to let him leave?!" I exclaimed.

The nurse shook her head, "I've already called the police they should be outside the hospital as soon as he gets there. They can arrest him and he'll go to jail and get charged. He'll eventually have to go to court but until then they should keep him locked up." She then held up her hand with a recorder. "I'll also give this to the police to him confessing about abusing her, that'll make him eventually go to court to eventually go into jail either that or they'll send him away for a long time without a court judgement." She explained.

I sighed, relieved. "Did you find anything else with the tests?" I asked.

"Well we can't find out if she has a mental illness, in fact we need to know from her medical history if she had a mental illness which there is evidence of. The fact that boy also mentioned it might explain something like how she managed to develop it in the first place."

"You think her abusive ex might have caused her to be depressed?" I asked sarcastically, the rolled my eyes. "I would have never thought of that." I mumbled.

"I know you're upset but there's no reason to be snappy with me. He might explain the scars too, not just the faded bruises. They're permanent bruises that act like scars." She sighed, "she's going to be alright." She said, "she just might be like this for awhile until she wakes up." She smiled lightly before leaving me again with Jessie.

"You alright?" Another voice said, Sarah.

"I'm fine, Jessie on the other hand has internal bruising as well as external bruising and has cuts on her wrist. I'm not sure if there's cuts anywhere else, they didn't tell me."

Sarah took one of her wrists and looked at the cuts. She sighed, "I know they're old, but she didn't tell me about this. I should've noticed it, shouldn't I?"

"Even best friends don't know everything about each other." I said.

Then all of a sudden I felt a hand squeeze mine and I looked over to Jessie, and saw her eyes opening.

"Trystan?" She asked, her voice croaky.

"You okay?" I raised an eyebrow and she nodded. I sighed.

"Why did you tell us about the cuts on your wrist?" Sarah and I asked at the same time.

Jessie groaned, "I didn't tell you because it isn't relevant not any more I got help, I went to sessions with my depression alright? I'm okay now." She said.

"We didn't say anything about depression  Jess." Sarah said. Jessie opened her mouth to say something before shutting it again.

"I'm sorry for not telling you okay?" She tried to sit up, but she screamed in pain and I stopped her from trying to sit up further.

"Look it's okay, just please if anything like that starts again, especially the anxiety and the cutting, tell us or at least tell your parents so someone knows and you don't have to be alone." I said, touching her cheek.

"My parents knew about the..." She trailed off when I gave her the look. "Okay they didn't but I didn't tell them because of Aaden. He found out I was cutting, he knew it was because of him and he told me not to tell them because if I did they'd realise that it was because of him and they'd stop me from seeing him. If they found that out, he said that he would hurt me... Worse than I was already hurt by him." She admitted.

Sarah then gently hugged her and started crying. "Jessie, you need to tell someone."

"My parents know about it now, I told them everything when I broke up with him, I had to. He told me if I broke up with him then he'd go after me and he did." She whispered.

"He went after you?" I asked, "is that why he was at college because he was going after you, because you broke up with him and told your parents everything." She only nodded, she didn't trust herself to speak.

I sighed before Sarah spoke up, "it's alright now he's gone he can't hurt you."

"Wait he was here?" She asked and I nodded, "why, why was he here?"

"I don't know, they thought you had suffered from depression before they rechecked your notes and he said you did. He also admitted to hitting you and saying that you deserved it because you didn't do what he said."

She soon started crying, I lifted her chin up to look at me. "Please don't cry. I don't like seeing you cry."

"Have you ever seen me cry?" she asked.

"Probably not but I don't like seeing anyone cry, it makes me upset Jessie." I whispered.

"I... I need to tell you something. Something I only realised right before I blacked out."

"What is it?" I asked, my eyes growing with concern.

She sighed shakily and said, "I think I'm..." She trailed off as she heard someone walked into the room. I turned around to see that Aurora was walking into the room.

And behind her was none other than Aaden.

"You'll never get rid of him that easy and you'll never get rid of me that easy." She said before walking over to Jessie. "Let me make this clear, Trystan is mine and not anyone especially some stupid geek can take him away from me. Okay?" Jessie rolled her eyes.

"You don't scare me and you don't make decisions for him. You don't own him." She said.

"I may not own him, but I can say if he's mine and he is. Get that through your geeky skull." She said, flicking her hair.

"Get away from her, I'm not yours I never have been and I never will be. I liked you before you became possessive you can't control me." I said, "and you can't take me away from the girl I..." I trailed off.

"The girl you what?" Aaden, Jessie, Sarah and Aurora asked in unison.

"The girl I'm in love with," I whispered.

"You're in love with me?" She asked, smiling at me.

"Yeah I do."

"I love you too." She replied, but as I went over to kiss her, Aurora pulled me away and Aaden punched me and then hit Jessie.

"YOU'RE SUCH A SLUT, YOU'RE A FUCKING SLUT!" He screamed at her.

Jessie closed her eyes and flinched before pressing an alarm button. "Please please get him away from me, h-he's threatening me." She sobbed.

"You're such a baby, why do you love a geek like her?" Aurora asked me.

"Because I do." I said, and as a nurse came in I said, "Call her parents he needs to be held in custody. He's abusive and he was harassing her." The nurse nodded and called the police to come and arrest him.

Soon he was gone and Aurora went not long after as I told her to leave and never come back.

We then heard a knock on the door and it was her parents.

Her mum ran over to her and hugged her.

"My baby." She said before kissing her head, "my poor baby." She sobbed.

"I'm okay mum. He's gone I promise he's gone." She said.

"I need to talk to Trystan, can you leave us?" She asked looking at her parents and then Sarah. They all nodded before leaving the room almost immediately.

"So we have to talk?" I asked, and she sighed.

"Yeah, we do. But... I don't think I can do this."

"Do what?" I asked, "we're going out but I haven't asked you to be my girlfriend." I said.

"I know and maybe that's for the best. I don't think we should keep up whatever this is." She mumbled.

I shook my head, "what are you saying?" I asked. She closed her eyes before saying,

"I think we should just stay away from each other."

"So it's make or break?" I asked, and she nodded, again not trusting her voice.

I was going to lose her and I wasn't even sure how I could change her mind.

Maybe it is for the best I thought to myself. "Alright." I said. "So what should we do?" I asked.

"Um..."
