Chapter 7: My Very First Day of School Continues
Edge POV
She looked familiar. I stared for a split second to see she was one of the 5 girls that was disrespecting Mr. Smith. I felt scared for a bit. I may be a god...er... gods I haven't met mortals like this. I stayed a dark face, but was scared for my life. I turned to Peyton seeing her as heartless as a rock. Her eyes turned the same dark black as before. Then I remember that these girls were in her seat this morning.
"Oh, and well, well if it isn't the girl living off of mother's money," she said in a most fierce voice," Oh, did you have to cry just to get what you want? Cause it seems like you have more pounds of makeup than the whole store." I was shock of how she could speak like that. She looked like the angel at first, but then became the most angriest devil you would never want to face.
I look at the girl and watch as her face scrunched up in anger. She gave Peyton a death stare as Peyton remain the same, dark eyes and no emotion.
"How about you say that louder on the phone with my mom?" she said as she walked closer to her.
"Yeah. why not? I bet she is dying to hear that her daughter isn't doing well in school," said Peyton with the most biggest smirks I ever seen," And hear that she is being bullied a girl that younger, smaller, and apparently the most cheapest girl in school." Everyone surrounded them and yelled "Oooooooohhh." I stood right next to Peyton as she was grabbed by her t-shirt. She was angry as hell. It looked like she was going to slap her until she looked at me. She saw Peyton hand on my risk.
"Well, now who is this?" she said as she let go of Peyton. Peyton let go of me and was ushered away. Before she could get back, she was held down by 2 men. The girl walked closer to me. I stayed quiet and hide my emotion. She examined me as I kept staring. She look evil and was about to slap me until I caught it "What," she said trying to break free," Let go!" I let go as she looked furious.
I saw that she was a person who was no good, but was easily changed. I let my hand out free and stared straight at her.
"What are you doing?" she said more angrily than before.
"Hit me," I said quickly.
"What," She said.
"Do I have to repeat it or do you have to remove those enormous earing out of your ears," I said. I didn't like the insult, but I had to if they are going to hurt Peyton.
Peyton POV
What. Is. SHE DOING?!!???! I was trying to break free, but the Britney's friend's boyfrends literly sat on me. The last time they did this, I literally beat them up without getting in trouble.
Edge said the dumbest thing and without a second thought, Britney punch her in her face.
I was about to scream until the smirk on Britney's face faded as Edge stood her ground. Her head was titled back everything else stayed the same, her hand were up and she was still standing. She titled her head back up as her eyepatch fell. She was bleeding from her eye. I couldn't believe it when her eyes never changed. She tap a speck of blood of her face and look at it. She shrugged and look back on Britney. Britney was terrified.
"Who...no.. What are you?" she stuttered as I heard a gulp from not only her, but most of the people in the area.
"I am Edge. Nice to meet you," she said as she held her hand out. Britney looked like she was going to slap it, but refuse and stood there. Edge put her hand down and walked to me. The boys on me whimpered at her. " Get. Off. NOW," Edge said with a intense voice and the most darkest death stare in the world. They not only did they get off, but ran away as Britney's friends tried to go after them.
She held her hand out. I took it as I saw the joyful looked in her eyes return. I felt a pain a pain in my arm. I held onto it as Egde notice.
"Are you alright?" I said with concerned.
"No worries. I'm fine. Are you alright?" she said kindly. I couldn't help, but smile. Britney's friend whispered to her something. She went to her bag and put more makeup on. I couldn't see what was going on. I was about to warn Edge until Mr. Smith came.
"Hey! Why aren't you at your classes?!,"Mr. Smith yelled as the crowd dismantled revealing us. Edge fell to her knees and started crying. I couldn't tell if she was faking or actual crying. She hugged me closer. I held onto her as Mr. Smith went to Britney first.
"Oh. It was horrible," Britney said sarcastically," She hit me and now I have bruises." I felt the urged to slap her until Edge eye was shown with blood all over us. Mr. Smith left Britney and sat by Edge. He then called an ambulance. He was more worried about her than Britney and I was happy about it. He did the unexpected and took off his t-shirt to cover her eye. She didn't let go until she was pulled away. He examined it.
"Hey! Leave her alone," I tried to hold her again.
"Hey. Hey," Mr. Smith said calmly," I been a doctor before I am just stopping the blood. I was uncertain, but agreed and sat next to him as Edge kept crying. I held her hand as Smith was concerned like Edge was his daughter. His eyes were terrified and yet full of anger.
Ambulance came and Edge calmed down. I was next to her for about the whole week and she was able to come on Monday. Before that, I still went to school and was watch by everyone. The very last day of the week, Friday, I went to Mr. Smith's office. He has called me in. I hoped that I wasn't in trouble.
I walked in and he saw me come in.
"Peyton, come sit down," he said as he pointed at the chair. I sat down as I felt no fear of the truth.
"Sir, I can assure you I did nothing and so did Ed-Dara an-," I spoke but cut off by Mr. Smith hand raise up.
"Don't worry I believe you," he said with kindness in his eyes," I just want to know if Dara is alright." I was shocked. I know he is one of the most kindest teachers in college, but he as more students that been hurt why Ed..g.e...
"She is doing well and she'll be coming to your class on Monday," I said with a smile. He smiled back at me.
"Thank you. You may-," He said before I cut him off.
"Why sir?" I said. He looked back in confusion.
"Why help Dara and not care about most of the other students in school. Most of them were beaten up and the only best thing you did was call an ambulance and make the counselor deal with it. You were never the one to be in the action," I said as he looked down. He was making a decision for what I could tell. He looked back up and I saw it again. The terrified eyes full of anger. He sighed as eyes were back to brown.
"Please. If I tell you why, will you never say a word to anyone about this," he said. I was shocked, but wanted answers.
"I swear with my life," I said.
"Thank you," he pause," A long time ago when I was 20 I was in a marriage, which I am still in now, I had a child. We named her Elizabeth. She looked almost like your friend," he smiled sadly as he continued," She had no eye missing, but had hair that covered that eye. She loved that hairstyle and never wanted to put it up. That didn't last."
Flash back (Third Person)
"Ok dad I off to school," said Elizabeth as she walked to her first day of high school.
"Look at our daughter go," said Ms. Smith as she laid her head on the side of Mr. Smith shoulder.
"I guess you got to stop calling her baby then," said Mr. Smith with a giggle. Ms. Smith punch him lightly on the shoulder and started to giggle as well.
They then both went to their work afterwards. Mr. Smith was a financial planner and Ms. Smith was a cooker.
At the same time, around lunch, they got a call. They were told that her daughter was in the hospital. They were drench in sweat and tears on there way to the hospital. They made it and ran inside bursting through every door that was in the hospital. They then made it to Elizabeth room where she covered in blood.
"Elizabeth!" cried Mr. Smith as he was pushed outside by the police. The police calmed the Smiths as they said they were doing everything they can. Mr. Smith sat there with Ms. Smith in his arms. Ms. Smith was crying in his chest as he sat there watching for that door to open. 2 hours later the doctors said they could come in.
"Oh my god," said Ms. Smith when she say her daughter covered in bandages top to bottom. Mr. Smith grabbed her hand and pulled it closer to him.
"Who did this, honey ," Mr. Smith said as burst in tears.
"Mom....Pap," she stuttered as she spoke," I saw a girl get bullied...she was younger and was getting beaten up. I had to...I....had...to," Elizabeth said trying to speak.
"It alright honey just rest," said Mr. Smith as he rested her head on the bed.
"Mom...I'm so sorry for forgetting what you taught me," Elizabeth said.
"Baby girl it's alright," Ms. Smith said in tears," It's alright."
"If I don't make it, I want you to know that I don't regret coming into your lives," Elizabeth said in tears.
"No! No! Don't you talk like that!," screamed Mr. Smith bursting more tears. He held onto her hand more harder.
After the fist visit from the parents, the doctor said she wouldn't last. Mr. Smith was willing to offer his blood, but that would just make it worse for and her. With her wounds adding more blood would make it hard for the wounds to heal. Both Smiths have visit their daughter the last week before she died.
End of Flashback (Peyton POV)
"Then that was it. After a week, the cops found the people who killed my daughter and the person she saved," he said as he bursting into tears," We met the Waver family that was truly grateful and paid for the expenses for my daughter. I felt more bad when they felt horrible. Their daughter visit almost everyday at the graveyard to see her. Not only that she sometimes sneaks out from school at lunch to share food. ," I felt truly sorry and started to remember my parents.
"I'm so sorry," I said in a quiet voice. He wiped his tears away as I gave him a tissue from the tissue box on his table. He gladly took it from me and wiped his tears away. I had more questions than before, but had the feeling of waiting until the time comes.
"So, I felt bad when I saw Dara like that. It is only her first day and she was beaten. She reminded me of her," he said as we both smiled,"I thank you for taking care of her until the ambulance came. She seem to really rely on you."
"Heh...You could say that," I said.
"Hmm... Well, my help is always open. If need anything, come see me," he said.
"I will and I'll keep my promise to you and maybe even better," I said I shook his hand and left. It was wasn't late, but not much people was around. I shrugged and went to the hospital to meet Edge. This world may be big general, but is so small to me.

I wonder if she willing to help me.
