Chapter 22

FIONA's POV

"Okay, Okay I'd get it" I stretched my hands to reach for the jacket but he pressed my legs harder and I couldn't move.

I crawled on my belly and heard an outburst of laughter as I attempted to free myself before I knew it he pulled me roughly.


"Let go! I said I'd pick it"


He twisted my hand behind my back "That order expired a minute ago" his cold deep voice tingled in my ears sending shivers down my spine.


"Leave her alone!" I heard a loud sound from behind. He grunted then stumbled backward. I quickly turned and saw a fierce Louis staring daggers into his eyes.


He darted his eyes "Stay somewhere safe" as I was about to leave I heard the sound of tables crashing, I gasped and rushed to Louis but I was pulled by Jack and Dylan "He said stay back" they chorused.


Louis jumped to his feet punching him on his face the crowd went 'ohhh' when his nose began to bleed. They exchanged kicks and punches Louis was winning until the other two gave him a uniform jab on his chest.



The crowd noise increased when a group of boys appeared, dividing themselves and began to fight.


The crowd began to disperse when someone screamed "The Principal is coming!" I was tossed at all corners because I was going to the direction of the fight to tell them to stop but I was too late.




The principal entered and told the boys to follow her, the place was still noisy and scattered, I could only catch a glimpse of Louis' fearless look.

After waiting after closing time for two hours I finally saw the same group of boys who were involved in the fight, my eyes met with Louis then I waved at him vigorously then he began to walk to me


"Hello, what are you still doing here?" Louis gave me a cute smile


"I-I was waiting for you" he nodded and turned a little then I saw the sharp cut close to his chin and a few light red patches on his lips and face.


"Why? Why did you fight him? You couldn't have been hurt if you-"


"What do you expect me to do? Stand and watch you get bullied? Your fight is my fight, no one can bully you, understand? " he half-yelled with an indescribable look in his eyes. I gave him a small smile "Thank you"


I knew he would be questioned if he went home looking like that so I suggested that we go to my house to make it less noticeable, we were both quiet and kept a small distance until we reached.


When we got back I asked him to sit on my reading chair then I treated his wounds. It was a little bit awkward but it was the least I could do for him. After that, I told him to rest a bit on my bed while I laid my head on the table. In a short while Louis stood up


"I should start going... my driver will worry too much" I escorted him to the door to unlock it.


"See you tomorrow, thanks for everything" I smiled with my lips then darted my eyes downward. When I raised my head Louis swiftly moved towards my face but I automatically moved away before he could get any close.


He bowed his head a little then slowly moved back with a sad smile. We shared a short weird silence before he forced a smile, waved and walked away.


When he was gone I closed the door and grabbed my hair as I groaned "You just had to move right? I'm so dumb! He looked hurt and it's all my fault!" anytime I remembered the look on his face I just felt worse. My heart was beating fast and that's when I realized I felt like that a few minutes ago.


"He is just my friend right? Why would he want to-" my cheeks heated as I imagined it, I peeked at Louis through the window and this was not the right state to leave him in.

LOUIS' POV(previously)

I was refreshed after the choreography and was busy talking with my friends before a guy with an unfamiliar face ran to me "Tommy is bullying your girlfriend!" he breathed heavily.


I turned to him with furrowed eyebrows "I don't have any girl- Fiona!"


I followed the loud noise and got to the cafeteria and saw Tommy close to Fiona.


"Leave her alone!" I punched him without a second thought, I felt the anger building up inside then I turned to Fiona with a softened look "Stay somewhere safe"



Before I could fully turn Tommy's kick and sent me crashing on two tables. My head hurt slightly but I sprang to my feet giving him a couple of cross punches and he began to bleed.


Tommy retaliated and we began to brawl, he was no match for me but he was quick enough to give me a few scratches.


Before I knew it Caleb and Hugo threw a punch at me, the ripper squad jumped out of the crowd to fight. Pirate eye, Dylan and Jack sided with me while Gore sided Tommy.

The fight continued and no one took a glance at the crowd until the principal stepped in and ordered all of us to come to her office.

She asked for everyone's explanation and found out the truth about the matter, since Fiona was a good student he could not lie against her. In the end, we were all given detention for fighting but Tommy was given extra two hours for bullying.



The principal told me I could have been given extra punishment because Tommy sustained more injuries and I started the fight but she wouldn't because it was an act of justice and self-defense.


"Han, Max, Chan, Glen, thanks for your help earlier" I said as we walked out of the building.


"Don't sweat it, you'd do the same if we were in trouble" Max turned to his friends who nodded in agreement.


"If you ever need our help we'd be there" Dylan smiled.


We were talking when we got outside my eyes met with Fiona's my heart fluttered when she began to wave with so much enthusiasm and I jogged to her


"Hello, what are you still doing here?" I grinned


"I was waiting for you" Fiona's eyes stared into mine like she could see through my emotions then I turned away


"Why? Why did you fight him? You couldn't have been hurt if you-"


"What do you expect me to do? Stand and watch you get bullied? Your fight is my fight, no one can bully you, understand?" I half-yelled remembering how Tommy treated her.


"Thank you" she said with a smile


After a short while, Fiona raised her head "I can dress your wounds at my house, I won't want you to be questioned because of me" I nodded and we walked silently until we reached.


I sat on Fiona's chair as she treated my injuries, she dabbed my face with cotton wool, it stung a bit but I loved how close she was without freaking out because she was too focused and so was I on her beautiful lips.


"All done" she walked to the bed and tapped it with her gaze still fixed on me, my eyebrows furrowed I looked at her then the bed "I need to be sure if we're on the same page so..."


Fiona face-palmed with a sigh "You need to rest you dummy"


"Ohhhh!" Since I was on the bed Fiona took the table, after a few minutes I stood up


"I should start going... my driver worries too much" Fiona escorted me to the door.


"See you tomorrow, thanks for everything" Fiona smiled with her lips and looked downward. She looked so cute and warm-hearted, I couldn't take my eyes off her for a second.



I quickly moved closer to the lips I have been admiring but Fiona raised her head and reacted immediately.


I bowed my head a little slowly moving back with a smile. We shared a short silence before I managed to fake a smile then I waved and walked away.


I've never been so embarrassed in my life, I felt like burying myself, I couldn't understand why she didn't move on that rainy day but she quickly rejected me today. Every step I took made my heart heavier.


I froze as I felt two small hands around me "Thanks for everything, you're the best friend ever" I slowly darted my eyes
