OOOO IMAGINE ME PUBLISHING TWO CHAPTERS AT ONCE!! 😱😱

TW: Physical fighting, mentions of blood. And maybe self-harm. When the self-harm happens, I'll write something and if you don't see anything, I didn't write self-harm. :) 

Alex's POV

It happened in a split second, one moment I was facing Jefferson, and the next I had tackled Madison to the ground. 

"MADISON!", Jefferson shouted, pulling me off. But I ended up biting his hand. He yelped in pain, backing away. 

"MR HAMILTON, MR JEFFERSON STOP NOW! I MEAN THIS INSTANT!", the voice broke through the air like lightning. We all froze, Mr. Adam's walked towards us. I pulled me off Madison, who got up and was allowed to leave unlike Jeffershit and me. 

"Get up. Now", Mr. Adam's voice didn't waver at all. I stood up, wobbly. Sharp pain cutting through my leg, my arm burned. We hobbled behind Mr. Adams, avoiding the looks of passing students. 

When we got into his office, he called for the school nurse to come up. Mr. Adams sat down with a big sigh. Jefferson and I got very interested in hands, our heads down. 

"Well... who is going to explain first?", he asked. I bit my lip, glancing over to Jefferson, who was literally shaking. 

"Sir, it was just a fight... it means nothing", my mouth turned sour, as if I could taste the lies. Jefferson scoffed, "This little shit-", "Jefferson!".

Jefferson sighed, "Sorry, anyway he started the fight."

"That is such bullshit! You started it!", I shout. 

"You threw the first punch, you little bitch!", Jefferson stood up. I stood up as well, I can't match his height but at least the effort is there. 

"You were insulting me! You caused it! You always cause it!", I call out. SHIT! NO TEARS STOP LET MY BRAIN GET THROUGH THIS. FUCK EMOTIONS. FUCK EM.

"What do you mean 'always'? You AVOID me most of the time!", Jefferson's brows knit together, confused.

I roll my eyes, "I mean that you cause everything! I have never done anything to you! ANYTHING! I don't understand why you do this! You bully me, you insult me! You call me a bastard! I don't need to you remind me of what I already know! You call my MOTHER a WHORE!".

"Well that's true", He muttered. He hit the last button, I lunged at him, knocking him out of his chair. Sitting on top of him, "Take that back!" I scream. Somewhere in the background, Mr. Adams calls for security. Everything else blurs but for Jefferson. 

"I'm just stating fac-", His sentence gets cut short, my fist has combined with his face. He looks at me, more stunned than angry. His ear bleeds, his cheek inflamed. I raise my fist, Jefferson closes his eyes, waiting. All of a sudden, my anger breaks like a dam, and the water of emotion come flooding. Tears pool out of my eyes, I slide off Jefferson, squeezing my fists together. Jefferson looks up at me, shuffling away from me, staying on guard.  

"I-I.. didn't know... I-", Jefferson's words quiet. I cry silently, "You wouldn't understand... my mother is all I have left...", I bit my lip before everything spills out. Jefferson relaxes, "Actually I do know wha-", "Jefferson. Hamilton. Clean yourselves up. Leave", Mr. Adams voice booms. Jefferson ahead of me as we walk out the door, "And Hamilton, you are to stay in your dorm till tomorrow". I open my mouth, he slams a book now, "No debating. Stay in your dorm!". 

"What about school?", I nervously ask, my voice shaking. "You can make it up tomorrow. Now leave.". I turn around, closing the door on my way out(See what I did there). 

Jefferson is in the bathroom by the time I get my bookbag. 

"Here", I hand him his bag.

"Uh... thank you?", He studders, wiping his ear with a damp towel. I wash my hands, cleaning the dried blood off my lips. 

"So no classes today?", he askes. I glare at him, "Sorry Hamilton". Jefferson looks down. I relax, "No classes today. I'm gonna miss all my fucking classes, no telling how much homework I'm going to have tomorrow.". I sigh, feeling his gaze on me. Jefferson puts his bookbag on, "What dorm are you staying in?", I look at him surprised. 

"Relax, I'm not going to murder you in your sleep.", He jokes. "Same dorm as Burr". 

"Really Burr? You're staying with Burr?", He laughs slightly. I roll my eyes, "Rather him than the devil himself", I look him up and down. He laughs, "See you later Hamilton". I give him a nod, pulling my hair back up.
