The door to the medical room swings open
And I'm happy to see mr Clark I thought it was going to be Riley to come finish me off

I sit up as he walks over pulling a chair in front of me
"Here put this on your hand"
"Thank you..."

I expect him to lean back or leave the room but instead he leans forward facing me
"You can leave if you want I will be fine"
He quickly shakes his head
"No it's fine I will stay with you" he says running his finger through his hair and then crossing his arms over his chest

The room falls into an awkward silence all you can hear is us breathing and my odd sniff from me crying
"Your still upset"
I look up and he's already staring at me I just shrugged my shoulders because I knew if I talk about it, it's just going to make me start crying again
"Is it true" the deep tone sending shivers down my spine

I don't know weather  to answer that or not...because would he judge?
With out realising a tear escapes my eye and runs down my face
"A little bit..."
He let's out a sigh and stands up pushing the chair back

Oh god what is he going to say
"My dad left  to" he says holding out a tissue from the tissue box off of the side "it's tuff"
I take it from his hand and wipe away my tears
"You shouldn't listen to her anyway she's just trying to get under your skin"

"And when she said you wasn't worth!"
I quickly cut him off. Them words hurt me and send a sinking feeling I'm my heart
I have to look away
"Stop....please "
He tilts his head in confusion and he takes a step closer

I clutch the ice bag onto my hand and slide off the chair
I slide past mr Clark smelling his Aftershave
God this man smells good. I wrap my fingers round the doorknob to twist it when a shadow looms over me
"Scarlett answer me...do you believe Riley?"
His hand is rested on the door stopping me from openings

"....yes"
Who wouldn't
I spin around on the spot and our noses are Practically touching
His eyes piercing into my soul and his lips so perfect and pink
"Listen to me " there is a bit of sympathy in his voice

"Scarlett your a bright, intelligent, talented girl who has a bit of a attitude problem but I will let it slide.... you know just in case you punch me" a smirk appears on his face as he's trying to creak jokes
I can't help but blush

"How can I not believe her...she's right"
I look down at my feet still clutching onto the ice pack

his mint breath blowing into my face "Riley is a bully, her goal in life is to Make others feel bad or look down on them self ... do you know why!"

I shake my head and shrug my shoulders
He lifts his hand and slowly lifts my chin up with his finger so our eyes meet
"She does it because she is insecure. Shes not perfect no one is but.... you need to stop letting her in your head....promise me"

The room fills silent are faces still inches apart
This might sound weird but being this close to him makes me feel comfortable....safe
I slowly nod my head trying to fight back the tears because I feel like I have cried to much in front of this man already
"Use your words Scarlett...."
"Yes sir.....I will try"

"...good girl" he says is a soft voice
It was enough to send shivers all over my body
His voice does something to me something that I have never felt before!

The door handle to the medical room pulls down like it's about to be open by someone
Mr Clark notices this and puts both his hands and the tops of my arms and pulls me away just before it opened

It was Miss Davis
Her face was not happy actually far from it
She comes in and stands in front of me with her arms crossed and her face still like thunder
"I will NOT have a player on my team who assaults others!"

"I'm sorry...." I say and I kinda mean it
"Riley has a black eye!"

Mr Clark steps forward to my side and starts to speak up
"In her defence Riley had been tripping her all game and then insulted her infront of the whole team....if anything miss Williams was just standing up for herself and I totally support her decision!"
"Riley is a bully you know this April!"

Her face settles down at him using her first name...."your on probation Williams do it again and I'm going to have to let you go!"

She gives me one last look and walks out the door " it's home time Williams head home!" She manages to say just before it closes
I turn around and smile
"I better be going"
He nodes his head and picks up his jacket "let me go get my bag and we can walk out "

I wait for about five minutes for mr Clark to get back but I just want to get home
I open the door and look around but he is no where to be see
At this point the ice pack is practically warm so I leave it onto the side, I walk down the empty corridors looking in each classroom for mr Clark but I couldn't see him
as I walk past his classroom i pier in but his stuff is already gone

Maybe he decided to leave already
I push the massive heavy door what goes out into the car park
The sky was a bright orange with red streaks across it, the sun was going down
I would normally look around for my mums car but I know she's not going to be here she will probably be close to the bottom of a tequila bottle by now......

I loved walking at sunset the sky's was so pretty....and peaceful
"Hey!"

I swing my head round to the familiar voice....it was Gemma
"Hey I'm talking to you!" A hand pulls on my shoulder and I stare at her

"What do you want!" I say in a sharp tone
He eyebrows go in a straight line

Who do think you are!" She takes a step forward and all I can think about is it's going to happen all over again
I'm going so feel that rage and loose it
I turn around but I feel a push on my shoulder
"Don't ignore me!"

I roll my eyes but It definitely don't go unnoticed, she grabs my collar with her hand and the other gripped around my throat
I make a wheezing noise as she presses tighter making the air escape me
I dig my nails into her hand just trying to get her to loosen up a bit but it doesn't work
"Let go!" I manage to get out but she doesn't listen
"If you think you are getting away with punching Riley your wrong!" She says with a slight snarl to her voice

I start to see spots in my vision god please don't let me pass out!
A load car drives past and screeches to a stop
Gemma let's go and I collapse to the floor

I hear faint mumbling in the background like people are arguing but I'm distracted by myself trying to get air back into my lungs
A tall shadow looms over me as they lean above I gasp to try and get air
My eyes are blurry with tears so I quickly hobble back just in case it was Gemma to finish me off
"Hey it's ok it's me"

The voice rings through my ears and it gives me a sense of comfort
"Your really making this a regular thing aren't you miss Williams"

He slowly wipes the tears from my eyes and I'm met with those piercing eyes what just make my stomach go
He softly puts his hand on my neck and rubs his thump up and down. I inhale quickly
"Don't worry I won't hurt you....can you stand"

I nod my head and slowly try and get up he reaches out his hands at first I was a bit sceptical but I take them
They were so warm and soft as they firmly grip around my hand like they was tiny and pulling me close to him
as I get up are chests bump and lean up against one and other
"Get in I will give you a lift home"
He opens the door and I slowly slide in clipping in my seat belt and leaning my head back against the head rest
"I'm throat hurts..." I say with a raspy voice

He looks over, his face shows no emotion
"It's probably not helping having your tie on so tight"
I look down and he's right my shirt is quite tight around my neck, I go to undo it but he swats  it away slowly pulling on the tie
The skin of his finger brushes against my sore neck causing me to make a squirm
He places the tie on my lap and takes his hand back up to my neck he undoes the top bottom what relived a little bit of pain but not a lot

"....thank you" I say looking out the window
"Where was you...?"

I ask as He pulls away from the curb
"I had to get some stuff from the staff room and I came out looking for you and you was gone"

"I thought you left already" I say
"No if I say I'm going to do something or going to be there I will not break my word!"
He does not look away from the road and just continues to drive

"Home?" He says taking a quick glance over
"Yes home please..."
his car smelt of a mix of vanilla and his aftershave what just smelt amazing

I lean forward palling down the mirror.... my neck was still really red and I definitely think it's going to be swollen tomorrow
