Chapter 17
Jennie Wilson POV
My stomach dropped.
No, not this Vincent. Not again.
” What are you f***ing doing here?” He snapped, his whole body buzzing with dangerous energy. I couldn’t even speak, I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.
Vincent veins popped out on his neck as he wiped off the blood from his chin with his back of his hand, never taking his eyes off me, and I was trembling with his killer gaze.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
The guy behind me started trembling and hid behind me.
” Please save me! They will kill me……”
I was trying hard to suppress the fear, telling myself to calm down, but I couldn’t. I felt like something’s going to happen any moment, and I hated feeling so powerless.
” What are you doing here Jennie!? Move off” Xavier said.
” No… no… what are you people doing? Are you going to kill him!?” I trembled in fear, looking at Xavier and Aaron.
Then suddenly a body hovered dangerously over mine, as he stared me down furiously.
Vincent lunged back at the guy, sending him several feet backward. At the same time Blake hit the guy in his face, and got ready to punch him again. I gasped, by their behaviour. Then Xavier pulled me aside.
” No, no leave him! You monsters! ” I screamed looking at the guy, wiggling from Xavier’s hold, the guy was badly hurt.
Xavier clamped his hand over my mouth and pressed me against his chest, holding me so tightly that I could barely breathe, let alone move. He was too close!
It quickly became so raw and violent, that for a moment I couldn’t believe my own eyes.
I brought my gaze at Vincent feeling tenser each second. He punched him hard in his face and drew a lot of blood that spurted out of the guy’s nose and mouth.
I swallowed hard when my eyes stopped on Vincent’s face. He looked completely dangerous and his eyes were red and his movements were bit uncoordinated, but his face shock me the most-it was dark and sinister.
” You are going to pay for this!” Blake hissed at the guy. He pushed him to the ground, sat on top of him, punched him ruthlessly until his face became unrecognizable beneath all that gruesome blood and cuts. He was much more worse and violent than Vincent.
“No! Please leave him…… he will die” I yelled at them, they were beating him mercilessly.
There were sound of hitting, crunching and pleading, and I was getting ill seeing this.
” Hey bro he’s done for” Aaron pulled Blake out from that guy, but Vincent didn’t listen, the ferocious violence still guiding his body.
” Hey man! You can stop it now! ” Xavier left me, and reached towards Vincent, pulling him away from the immobile body on the ground.
He brought Vincent to his feet and managed to separate him from the guy. A immense relief filled me instanty. I was shaking intensely all this time and my legs felt like they were going to betray me any second.
I looked at the guy on the ground through my teary eyes, and felt a wave of nausea. Vincent and Blake beat him to pulp, they were monster.
Vincent and Blake were wiggling from their hold, screaming and cursing them to release them from their hold.
Then the guy there started to move, dragging himself, through the ground away from them.
Then from corner of my eye, I saw Vincent picking up a wooden log from there and was reaching out for that guy. My heart clenched as some unknown fear gripped my insides. Was he going to do worse to him?
No! He will definitely die if Vincent hit him with that log!!!!!
Do something Jennie!
I ran towards the guy and to shield him, I came between them, but suddenly I felt most unbearable pain that burst inside my head……
I felt blood dripping from my head, flowing to my face, giving life threatening pain…… I held my head.
“Jennie!!!”
I could hear many voices…, and I became numb all of a sudden…… And the world drew dark and silent.
……
I opened my eyes, and a dull pain hit me, a throbbing ache settling inside my head. I was hungry and thirsty, and saw my lap through blurry vision.
The faint smell of medicine hit me, and I touch my head and it was wrapped with bandage properly. Harper and Rose were sitting next to me.
” She’s awake! ” Harper screamed and hugged me. I was hospitalized for two days. I got discharged.
I trembled, recalling everything, it gave me shivers every time I remembered it. Vincent and Blake hitting him, blood all around, raw violence.
I was going to my regular classes, when an attender interrupted our class and whispered something to Miss Jonson.
” Jennie Wilson, principal wants to meet you…” Miss Jonson said. I walked with the attender, towards the office.
As soon as I entered, my breath hitched. I saw Vincent and Blake, standing next to principal.
” Ah… Miss Jennie Wilson come in, have a seat…”
” It’s ok Mr. Anderson.” I said not looking at him.
” Tell me what happened? No pressure dear……”
I looked at Vincent and Blake, trembling in fear. If Blake’s looks could kill, I would be a pile of ash on the floor already.
” They…… they… were beating… the guy mercilessly. They were bullying him and-” I shuttered in fear, and my tears threatened to fall.
” That’s not right Mr. Anderson. We were just helping him. There’s been a misunderstanding” Blake interrupted me.
” Don’t play innocent Mr. Parker. This is not the first time something like this happened, and most of the times, you two are the ones who’s evolved.”
I glanced at Vincent, and winced when our eyes met. Surprisingly he was staring at me, there was no usual nothingness in them.
Instead there was fire. There was a challenge. Surprise and strange feeling I didn’t know the name of stirred in my chest.
Why was he challenging me? What did his stare mean?
Oh yeah! Let me teach you a lesson……
I explained everything to Mr. Anderson. I even told that they bullied me too. Vincent broke my phone too. I wanted these merciless egoistic bastards, get a lesson, they should be punished.
” What are you going to do about it?” I asked him.
” Watch your mouth Jennie” Blake snarled at me like he was going to choke me.
Mr. Anderson ignored Blake’s remark. ” I’m going to make sure that it won’t happen again.”
” And how are you going to do that?”
” You do really have a big mouth.” Blake voice contained suppressed fury.
” Shut up, Parker. And you Wilson, watch your mouth. Don’t disrespect your principal.”
I was sick and tired of authorities, turning a blind eyes on us-the victims of bullying.
” As I said to Parker and Ainsworth, such incidents are unacceptable in our University. I am sorry you had to pass through that Miss Wilson.”
“Are you going to punish anyone?”
” For now, No.”
For now, no?
Oh my God. I was furious.
I was so furious that for once, I couldn’t control myself. I knew I would regret it later, but it need to get it out of my chest now.
” What do you mean For now, no? They almost killed him, and you won’t do anything about it”
” Parker mentioned already that all of that was misunderstanding-”
” A misunderstanding?” I yelled, and pointed at Blake.
” He started all the mess. This Vincent was beating him mercilessly. You can’t let them get away with this!”
Blake looked so mad now, that his veins actually popped out on his temples.
” Calm down, Wilson. I talked to the guy and things are cleared up. He let the case off, he has compromised to it.”
” What about me? He bullied me, broke my phone.” I said pointing at Vincent and took out my broken phone and showed it to principal. I looked at Vincent and found his strong gaze directed to me.
He was leaning back in his chair, with arms crossed on his chest, not paying attention to anyone but me. His fierce eyes reflected anger and surprised.
Surprise at what? I was sure he was mad at me, which I was going to be sorry.
Is it because I complained about him to principal?
Then suddenly Vincent got up from his chair and walked towards me and I gulped.
Is he going to bully me in front of principal!?
” I will take care of that Mr. Anderson, I am sorry for that. I will compensate the damage, I have caused to Miss Jennie Wilson” Vincent said in mocking voice and grabbed my phone.
He’s sorry for what he had done to me!?
No you are not. You never cared.
” No, give my phone back. I will repair it myself.” I yelled at him.
I know, if he repairs it, He might not give me the phone back, he will be able to see all my files and photos… I definitely don’t want that to happen.
” Don’t worry Wilson, he will take care of it. He needs to pay for his deeds.” Principal interrupted me.
Then suddenly Blake threw a bundle of cash at my face.
” Take this shit, and shut your f***ing mouth. I know you are acting like a b*tch for the money as a compensation.” Blake spat venomously.
” What can we expect from a broke and cheap slut like her” Vincent’s crooked grin gave me the creeps.
This was unbelievable. I stared at Mr. Anderson first, and then Blake and Vincent, through my tears. I knew Blake’s and Vincent’s parents were mega rich, and they actually donated to Hunsberg University.
Having Vincent and Blake punished could ruin their bright future of their heir, so of course they won’t let happen anything to him.
” F*** you all! F*** your money! I don’t want your money you assh*le!! You people always treat poor people like a trash, there is no justice for us. You merciless bastard! ” I yelled and threw money back at Blake angrily on his face, crying, hurt by their insulting words.
I felt defeated. Principal Anderson was a snake, he wouldn’t move a finger to do what is right and protect his students.
He dismissed us a minute later, as we left the office. As soon as we passed the secretary, turning around the corner, Vincent grabbed me and pushed me against the wall in the empty hallway. Terror enveloped me and pressed his forearm into my throat, making me unable to breathe properly.
” You are going to pay for this b*tch! You just couldn’t shut up. No, you had to tell on us.” The pressure of his forearm became so hard that it hurts.
” I think hitting your f***ing head wasn’t enough.” I wheezed as I tried to breathe, but I couldn’t get enough oxygen in my lungs.
” You are messing with the wrong guy. You’ll be sorry for this.”
Blake pushed Vincent and told him to back off. I gasped for air loudly, sliding down the wall. I felt beyond miserable.
” Hey man calm down…” Blake pushed Vincent aside.
” How can you be so stupid!? Vincent snarled at me, approaching me quickly and stopping abruptly only a few inches away from me. His body dangerously hovered over mine as he stared down furiously, breathing heavily.
” Dude, leave her, she is injured. We will get back to her later.” Blake pulled him away from me.
” Shut up already. That’s none of your business, leave us alone right now Blake. Right Now! ” Vincent hissed at him, curling his hand into fists as he stared him down.
Blake didn’t even flinch, returning his glare. ” Fine! Do f***ing whatever you want. I don’t care.”
Soon he stormed off, leaving us all alone. Then Vincent piercing gaze was on me, I hunched, taking a step away from him. Vincent was taking step towards me and closing the distance between us once more.
I bolted and tried to get as far as possible from him. It was futile, because he caught me easily and veered me around, pressing me against his chest.
