The School's Bully

Chapter 26
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

After what felt like an eternity, i got out of the restroom, ignoring Alex, i made my way out of the restaurant, i'm never eating here again.

"Chloe!" I heard Alex calling for me but i chose to ignore him and continue my walk back home, where i could simply hide and let nothing and no one affect me. But no, he was faster than me and in seconds, he was in front of me, blocking my way, i tried to move past him but he blocked me again, this was frustrating.

"Chloe" He said, regret clear in his voice and pity clear in his eyes, didn't he say that he'll break up with me? Then why the hell is standing here, talking to me?

"What?" I snapped

"I'm sorry"

"I'm leaving"

"No wait" he reached out and grabbed my wrist just as i was about to walk away.

"What do you want from me Alex?" I said through clenched teeth.

"I'm sorry for not defending you Chloe, I just couldn't process what was happening and i-" I cut him off.

"You couldn't process what was happening? You couldn't process that your friends were making fun of me?!" I tried to keep my voice low, "Couldn't process that they were insulting and humiliating me?" I felt tears prickle my eyes as i continued "That they simply mentioned my dad as if he was still alive?" I sobbed, i felt him pull me into a hug but i pushed him away.

"Do not touch me!" I yelled, i hated him right now "You heard them, yet, you just sat there, watching, as if it was regular to see them making fun of someone, and that someone just happens to be your girlfriend"

"Chloe just-" I cut him off once more.

"I'm going home, now please step aside and let me pass or i'll have to make you step aside by myself" He understood my threat and stepped aside, because, despite everything, he knew that i meant what i said and he knew that i could do it.

Wise choice.

I walked home, not bothering to stop a cab. Once inside, i surrendered myself to my tears. Damn you Alex and dad's death.

I made a beeline to mom's room, i knew she wouldn't open, and that she was probably passed out from drinking but i still knocked, to my surprise, she opened. She looked like shit, under her eyes were black, she had bags under her eyes, her hair needed to be desperately washed, a bottle of vodka in her hand and she was stumbling and doing her best to keep standing.

"Chloe?" She asked, narrowing her eyes at me as if i were a stranger "You changed"

"Give me that bottle" I held my hand out for her to give it to me but she stumbled backwards.

"Noway"

"Give it to me, mother" I commanded, my voice hard and she winced, i've never talked to her in that tone but now, i had to, if i wanted her alive.

"I said no, if that's why you're here, you can go" She said bitterly. What the hell was wrong with her.

"You're putting yourself at risk mom, you could die like that" I said, my voice suddenly softer than i intended it to be.

"I would rather die and follow the love of my life than staying alive in this useless life doing nothing but drinking my pain away"

"This is not a useless life mom, you can meet another, you still have me" I sounded like i was trying to convince myself than trying to convince her.

"Meet another? Have you? This is not enough, no one will ever be enough, i want him but he's gone" She sobbed, tearing me apart in the process.

"But i'm still here, with you, isn't that good? You know i like traveling with him and i would've been on that plane with him" My voice barely came out as a whisper but she heard me.

"You're still here? No i want him, only him, he's my husband Chloe, the love of my life, i will never get over him, you are probably over him now, with your friends with you all the time

I scoffed "He was my father, and i'm over him because i'm with my friends? You know nothing about me now and i'm not gonna talk to you until you're sober" I slammed her door on shut on my way out.

I called the only person i know that hasn't left me, yet. Victoria.

"Hey" She picked up on the third ring.

"Can i come over?" I asked in a rush.

"Uhh, Yeah, Sure c-come"

"Are you busy?"

"Nope just watching Tv"

"Alright then, i'm on my way" She mumbled something but i couldn't hear it.

I knocked on her door, waiting a few seconds until she opened "Chloe, hey what's wrong??" She asked, frowning, probably noticing that i looked like crap.

"Everything is wrong Victoria" I said on an exhale.

"What happened?"

I spent the next 10 minutes telling her everything that happened today, then she suddenly stood up "Ice cream?" She asked.

"Alright" I guess that she was the only one that i wasn't afraid to eat in front of her, wasn't afraid that she would judge me and say that i still eat like an elephant, like everyone does when i eat something humans eat.

"Chloe!!" Victoria snapped her fingers in front of my face, pulling me out of my train of thoughts.

"Yeah, what?"

"Your ice cream" She handed me a chocolate chip bowl of ice cream and she had a bowl of Vanilla, that's how much we usually eat ice cream together.

"Forget about him, if he broke up with you, it's his loss, not yours" Victoria said after a long moment of silence.

"Whatever"

A month had passed, Alex had broken up with me, i knew he'll do it so i wasn't surprised when he did it but it hurt like hell. He had been ignoring me, completely, as if he had never known me. I ignored him, too, ignored how he started talking to Nicole, holding hands with her, i chose to not let that affect me, i knew she was doing this to get under my skin but i did my best to not let her succeed.

I was walking towards my locker until i saw something that made me stop dead in my track, my heart drop, and the air to be knocked out of my lungs.
