Updated! :)

Rose's pov

I finished my first two lessons, I was relaxed. Packing my things up, I wished that if only he was telling the truth...that we are best friends.

I left the building, entered the playground, watching everyone chatting with one another.

I kept going, heading for my spot, but before I could go any further, I heard my name. Turning around, I see Jace.

I was about to retreat when he shouted "You know it will be worse if you run" so I stopped.

"Hello again, Rose. Nice to see ya" I wish I could say the same...is what I would have said, if I wasn't scared...but might as well

"I wish I could say the same" his eyes clouded over with anger. Yeah, I'm in trouble. Bad idea.

He latched a hand around my arm, and dragged me off to a secluded hallway. I was pushed down to the floor. Looking around I'm surrounded by Grey walls and a solid floor.

"Lets play" he evilly grins down at me from where he was stood.

"No" I state back at him, staring right in his misty blue orbs.

"What?" He asks astonished that I said no.

"I said no" I say firmer. I knew I was going to be in big trouble anyway.

"Why do you keep doing this to me? What have I ever done to you, you bully!" I say all in one breath as I raised to my feet.

"Because your you! Pathetic, weak, little you"

I looked down then up and said "at least my smallness has a brain, whereas yours, is replaced with crumbs"

He pushed me into the wall and kicked my leg, causing me to yelp "shut up" he growls in my face.

"Nothing better to say?" I choke out.

I cowered from him, even though I was used to it, he pushed me so hard that I stumbled and landed on my ankle and yell out in pain.

Tears welled my eyes, looking up he towered over me and was about to strike like a cobra.

The sound of feet, pounding against the floor, I see a figure charge right into Jace, knocking him flying across the hallway.

Skidding to a stop, the new figure straddled Jace, and punched him a few times.

"Leave" punch "Her" punch "Alone" punch.

"OK, OK" Jace whimpers and growls in defeat.

What the?

The hair... Rick? I get up and yelp, falling splat on my ass, my ankle!

Rick lets go of Jace, and runs to my side. "This isn't over, Rose!" Then Jace was gone.

"I'm so sorry Rose, I was looking for you, then I heard you scream and came here as fast as possible" he apologizes all in one breath.

"It's OK, don't worry. Thank you for helping me" I went to sit up, but my stomach hurt slightly, but its my damn ankle mainly.

"What hurts?" He asks with a pained expression on his face, along with guilt.

"Nothing... I'm fine" I lied. I went to get up along with Rick, putting pressure on my ankle I collapse.

Before I could hit the floor, Rick's strong arms circle around my waist, to hold me up.

He placed me on the floor and said "take off your shoe and sock" nodding I did as told.

"You've either sprained it, or twisted it, no brakes" OK that's good at least.

"Thank you" he smiles and helps me put my shoe and sock on. I feel like a toddler all over again.

He picks me up and helps me walk,
We are going to head to my house, so I can rest better.

Students were staring at us, and I felt embarrassed. "Just ignore them" he whispers in my ear.

"OK" I sigh, not much, but it was something.

We continued and my leg was getting tired from hopping. Sensing this, Rick picked me up, sitting me on his back.

Wrapping my arms and legs around him, he took off towards my house...but how did he know where I lived?

Brushing the thought to the back of my mind, the motion of the wind against my face soothed me, and slowly I drifted off into slumber...

Rick's pov

I carried her out the school after telling her to ignore the other students. I knew her leg was getting tired, so I picked her up, setting her on my back.

When secure, I took off down the roads. Her breathing got quieter, and her heart rate was soothing out, she must be asleep.

I kept going and reached her house after a half an hour run.

Opening the door, I carry her upstairs. As I enter her room, I was in awe. It had Grey walls, a desk and chair, a big bed, which was big enough to fit four people on, even a bedside locker next to it.

The carpet was a black along with her curtains that framed the window, that was accompanied by a platform you could sit on and look out the window.

I walk to the bed, moving the covers so I could make room for her. I get an extra pillow for her leg as I lie her down.

I levitate her foot and place it carefully onto the pillow. She moved her arm, then put it back at her side.

She must be a deep sleeper. I smile at myself and carry on. Wrapping her up in here quilt, I grab a pen and paper to write a note...

To Rose,

I took you home, and I hope your foot gets better. I will see you soon hopefully,

-Rick :)

Yes, I even drew a smiley face. I know, I'm a big kid.

I smile and say a quick bye just before I shut her door, and left the house, securely shutting the door behind me and headed home myself...
