AMERY

I didn't do anything wrong.

Natasha is a liar. I never caused any of this. Quincy being expelled wasn't my fault. I am a victim just like everyone else. Quincy getting into trouble wasn't because of me. They had planted those drugs in my locker and they had framed me as well. I am innocent and I promise that I didn't do anything wrong. Those were the words that I kept on telling myself over and over again hoping that somehow I would learn to believe them but no matter how hard I tried to let it sink in, the harder it gets leaving me devastated. I was seated in the restroom after my confrontation with Natasha and I couldn't help the tears that flooded my eyes as I thought about what she had said to me earlier. You would think that she had finally learnt her lesson and wanted to atone for her mistakes but that's not the case. She only wanted to take things farther.

I thought that we were best friends. I treated her like a sister. I even went as far as sharing everything I had with her but she stabbed me in the back without looking twice and as if it wasn't enough, she still went ahead to plot against me.

Didn't the thought of us ever cross her mind? Doesn't she at least feel the least remorseful? I had been through so much and was barely trying to navigate myself through this thick crowd. My mind wasn't even settled down on anything yet so why couldn't they just leave me alone?

The more I thought about it, the more angrier it made me and the more it shattered me completely. First it was dad who had denied me in the presence of everyone and now, it's Natasha.

Quincy might have taken the fall but it still doesn't change anything. Everyone still believed that I had forced him into taking the blame for me. And as if it wasn't enough, Natasha has been spreading demeaning rumours about me and how I have sold those drugs and put The blame on Quincy.

I couldn't go to class because everywhere I walked, everyone pointed fingers at me and made funny noises. They even went as far as calling me mean names. I told myself that I was strong and that I would be able to endure but I had been so wrong. Everything feels hard and it feels as if the whole world is suddenly against me now. I had ruined the relationship I had with Asher, I had pushed him into running away and now I have also successfully managed to pull Quincy into my mess. Just how far will this continue?

I should have followed mum when she had asked me to go back home with her. This was simply too much for me to bear alone. I don't know how long I sat there in the restroom but i didn't leave until the last bell for school was rung.

That was when I picked myself up and slowly made my way outside. Luckily, half of the school had dispersed so I took the opportunity to approach my locker and grab a few things for home.

When I was done, I shut the door and changed the passcode. I tiredly walked outside and that's when the cool breeze hit my face and dried up my tears. I looked up in the sky and i noticed that it was about to rain.

The weather suddenly became heavy and humid, with a distinct change in the air as the clouds became thicker and more menacing-looking. The atmosphere felt tense, as if a storm was brewing. I noticed a drop in temperature and a change in the wind direction as it became gusty and erratic. I immediately became alarmed but not frightened. It's not like I had better things to do at home anyways.

As the rain began to fall, it started as a light drizzle and scattered drops before increasing in intensity. I stepped into the flowing downpour as I slowly made my way out of the gates and towards the bus station.

My clothes got drenched but i didn't care and continued walking sluggishly. Just then, a car horn hooted at me but i didn't stop. Another car drove fast and splashed water on me but I still didn't flinch. she yelled cursing at the driver. "Amery?" Someone called. I faced the direction of the sound to see Levi calling out to me desperately. I clenched my fists beside me tightly.

What more does he want from me? Hasn't he done enough? He was the reason why those boys came after me and he was also the reason why Quincy was expelled today. He has always been at the top of the food chain, always making my life difficult and a complete hell. The more I looked at him the more I couldn't help but hate him.

Ignoring him, I continued walking but he drove to a reasonable distance and stepped out of the car. He approached me with an umbrella in one hand.

"Here, have this" He offered but i sighed loudly, feeling uninterested. Judging by his pitiful attitude towards me, I could tell that he had seen the video as well. At this point, it was no longer a secret because it had gone viral and I'm pretty sure that everyone had seen it already.

I scoffed. "I don't need it." I turned him down. "Go back to your car your highness. Your driver is waiting for you. Hopefully, you don't get sick and pin the blame on me this time around. Everyone keeps shifting the blame on me even when I did nothing wrong and you're the last person I wanted to feel sorry for me now." My teeth gritted viciously. I was cold and I was pretty certain that he could tell because I kept on shivering and holding onto the hem of my shirt.

"Go back Levi. I don't need you here" I said plainly. I am about to walk away when I spotted a huge truck coming on full speed. Before I could react, Levi held onto my arm and pulled me closer to himself, hugging me tight. The truck splashed water on him instead. I slowly lifted up my head from his chest and we lock eyes. I sniffed and pushed myself away from him voluntary.

"Come with me, I'll take you home." He offered but I blatantly refused.

"I can't accept help from anyone Levi, especially you. You have done much damage to me already so please... let me be."

"If you keep on standing here then you'll fall sick!" He yelled at me. "Do you think that getting drenched by the rain is magically going to change everything and solve all your problems? It wouldn't Amery so stop being such a child and come with me." He ordered in a stern voice but I only glared at him briefly before walking away.

"Amery!" He yelled at the top of his voice and immediately stopped in my tracks. "Come with me and don't make me use force because we both know that it wouldn't end well."

I ignored his words but before I could take another step, he grabbed me by my arm, lifted me up and carried me towards his car. I kicked, flapped, slapped, hit and yelled at him to let me go but he simply wouldn't listen. Instead, he carried on till I was perfectly rested at the backseat of his car.

He got in after me and ordered the driver to leave which he immediately did. The minute the car started, I broke down again as I bawled my eyes in front of him. Levi was the last person on earth I wanted to see me weak. I had literally tried my very best to not show any emotions when I was with him because of how badly he had treated me but today, I couldn't help it so I just let the emotions carry me as they came.

All through the drive, he never said a word to me neither did he try to console or comfort me. He let me pull out my emotions and for once I was grateful for the silence that he had given me.

When my emotions were a bit on check, I gave directions to the driver to our house. We arrived in less than forty five minutes and Levi slowly led me into the house after dismissing the driver. Luckily for me, mom and dad weren't at home so I let him take me upstairs to my bedroom.

Throwing my bags to the ground, I sat down at the edge of the bed lost in thoughts.

"You need to get changed, otherwise you'll catch a cold." He advised me but I could barely hear what he was saying.

"Are you even listening to me?" He asked for the umpteenth time when I didn't move from my initial position.

"Alright then, we'll do this the hard way." His jaw twitched in anger as he made to remove my clothes. I didn't fight him, neither did I say a word. I simply let him till I was seated completely naked in front of him.
