When I say football in this chapter I mean American football 🏈  (sorry I don't want to confuse anyone)
⚠️Cussing, bullying, blood, physical abuse⚠️
**********************************
"Hey Arrow!" Some kid yelled making Arrow look up just in time to be hit in the middle of the face with a football.

Arrow's head was thrown back at the impact, his body following his head making him slam to the ground painfully.

"Oww!" Arrow cried out as tears pooled down his face along with blood from his probably broken nose.

Arrow was now five years old and still hadn't been adopted by anyone.

All of the potential parents thought he was  too hyper, not hyper enough, too smart for a five year old, not smart enough.

Every time he was interviewed with a potential family he would try to change according to the last potential family so he would hopefully fit the mold but it never worked.

He was always either too much of something or not enough, he could never win.

"Justin! Why did you do that to Arrow?!" Mrs.Luna yelled as she ran over to the now sobbing Arrow.

"Because his name is dumb and so is his face!" Justin replied as he stuck his tongue out at Arrow.

Justin was seven years old and had also been in the foster home his entire life.

All of the people that were intrested in adopting him quickly changed their minds when they saw how bad of a temper the boy had.

"Go to the office now! That talk nor these actions are acceptable and you know it!" Mrs.Luna fussed as she picked Arrow up before turning around and carrying the bloodied boy to the nurses office.

"Its going to be okay honey, Ms.Jewley will help you out and you'll be just fine okay?" Mrs.Luna attempted to comfort Arrow as she speed walked to the nurse office.

"O-ook-kay." Arrow stuttered out between sobs before turning his head and spitting out some blood, concerning Luna even more then before.

***

The two quickly made it to Ms.Jewley's office and Arrow was taken care of instantly.

"You did an amazing job there honey, I'm so sorry your in here so often." Ms.Jewley said as she handed Arrow a butterscotch flavored Dumdum.

"Its okay and thank you!" Arrow replied politely as he took the Dumdum before popping it into his mouth, now back to his normal smiley self.

Arrow was frequently targeted for bullying because of his name and because he didn't really socialize with the other kids unless he needed to.

He was an amazing student and extremely smart, he was already working on second grade studies when he should only be in Kindergarden and a lot of the older kids were jealous of that.

"Your quite welcome dear, now how about I put on a movie for you while you rest up?" Ms.Jewley said with a kind smile as she turned the t.v. on.

"Can we watch Scooby-Doo?" Arrow asked as he looked up at the nurse with his large innocent eyes.

"Of course we can Dear." She replied with a fond smile before turning on "A Pup Scooby-Doo" for him.

As the years went on, Arrow was bullied worse and worse by his fellow classmates and housemates.

What really concerned and confused himself and the others the most however was how quickly he healed from the wounds.

No matter how severe, they would always be healed the very next day like it never happened in the first place.

"What is wrong with you?! Your a freak!" Justin yelled at Arrow as he used his dinner stake knife to stabb his hand, slicing through the entire thing so the blade poked out of his palm.

Screams of terror filled the room as everyone saw Arrow's blood gush out of his hand when Justin pulled the knife out.

Arrow's eyes widened at the sight, the shock hitting him more then the pain at the moment.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" He yelled back, using his good hand to grab Justin's hair before slamming his face down as hard as he could into the table.

Justin blacked out almost as soon as his head hit the table, his body falling lymp before he fell onto the floor; Arrow's blood all over his face along with his own noses blood.

"ARROW! JUSTIN! WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THINGS HOLY ARE YOU DOING?!" Mrs.Harris yelled as she walked into the dining room.

Mrs.Harris was one of the main people that ran the orphanage so she has known both boys their entire lives.

Out of all fourteen years of the boys living there, she had never seen Arrow fight back at all.

Now to see him have made his bully pass out with one slam was insane.

"Luna you grab Justin, I'll take Arrow!" She instructed quickly walking over to the bleeding boy while Luna attempted to pick up Justin's lymp body.

"Why do you two even fight? What is so serious that he had to STAB you for and you had to make him PASS OUT for?!" Mrs.Harris asked as she walked Arrow quickly to the nurses office.

Instead of responding Arrow just stayed quiet as he stared at his hand, watching as the blood gushed from it and onto the white tile floors.

As soon as they reached the nurses office Ms.Jewley was concerned greatly but began working on Arrow all the same.

After a few minutes of trying to help Arrow she turned to Mrs.Harris.

"He needs to go to a proper hospital and get stitches, the weapon went completely through his hand and he's loosing blood fast." She stated urgently as she wrapped the hand with medical tape, trying to slow the bleeding as best as she could.

"That will cost far to much, do the best with what you can here and he'll live." Mrs.Harris said offhandely before the doors were slung open, showing a very out of breath Luna carrying Justin.

"Oh! Tend to Justin now! The poor boy has passed out by the force at what Arrow hit him with!" Mrs.Harris said as she quickly moved over to help Luna carry Justin over to another bed.

"I will tend to him when I am done helping Arrow. He could potentially bleed to death so he is a much higher concern then a mild concussion." Ms.Jewley snapped back as she continued to wrapp Arrows hand.

"Go and help him, I'll be fine by tomorrow. I don't know how but I always am." Arrow chuckled painfully, wincing at the pain as his anger finally subsided now only leaving the pain.

"If any other student said that I would disagree with you and continue... but because you've proved your words to be true before I'll follow your instructions." Ms.Jewley sighed before helping Justin out with his small wounds.

***

The next day Arrow woke up, still in the nurses office.

He looked down at his hand before slowly unraveling the medical tape to see that his hand was infact back to normal.

So he stretched some to wake his body up before getting up and leaving the room.

It was around five in the morning so nobody else was awake, it was like he had the whole place to himself...
