Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 130

Kyle tightened his grip on his phone and immediately removed the call from the speaker. “Violet… Violet,” he called her while putting his phone on his ear. “What did you do?” Ethan yelled at Nathalie, and immediately took his phone out of his pocket while running out of the living room. Kyle also shot daggers at her and ran behind Ethan. “Wh… what happened?” Nathalie yelled in panic while looking at everyone in confusion and fear. No one paid attention to her, and everyone followed the boys.

“Are you that stupid, Nathalie? I told you that Violet is not in a good mental state, still, you called her?” Mr. Westfield yelled at Nathalie while running out of the living room behind them. “I… I only wanted to talk to her,” Nathalie cried, but she ran with him. Harry shot daggers at her but didn’t say any other word to her. He was highly disappointed in her. Nathalie was a good and loving wife to him and a good mother to their son, but he didn’t know anything about what happened to Violet after Nathalie left her with her grandmother. He was highly disappointed in Nathalie for abandoning Violet and was angry and worried about her present health. He also agreed that it was Violet’s parents who gave others an opportunity to torment that poor girl.

“We shouldn’t have allowed them to come here,” Mr. Knight muttered while running out of the mansion with Mr. Parker and Mrs. Parker. “I know,” Mr. Parker replied to him in a regretful tone. Violet’s doctor had told them the last time she was in the hospital after her father’s visit a few days ago that she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown and that any further emotional turmoil could be fatal. His heart was now pounding hard in his chest due to fear of losing Violet. In the past two months, that girl had occupied a special place in his heart, and he was not ready to lose her. Mrs. Parker was cursing Nathalie under her breath but she was also scared right now.

Meanwhile, Ethan called Noah while running towards his car, Kyle on his tail. “Go to Violet now,” he roared over the call at Noah as soon as Noah picked up the call. “Wh… what happened? Violet … Violet,” Noah yelled in panic, and Ethan heard Noah calling Violet. He looked at Kyle who was still on the call with Violet. “She is not responding,” Kyle told him in a panicked tone, and called Violet again and again. He was now regretting calling Violet. He should have thought about the consequences if Violet heard her mother’s voice. They warned Nathalie about Violet’s condition, still, that woman made the mistake of calling Violet.

“I am driving,” Kyle cut off the call and ran towards the driver’s seat. Ethan threw the keys toward him while barking orders to Noah. “Call Mrs. Hank immediately, and if she doesn’t respond in the next two minutes, take her to the hospital.” “I will kill this woman if anything happens to Violet today,” he yelled angrily while looking at Nathalie before hopping on the passenger’s seat. Mrs. Parker was now on the verge of breaking down but was trying hard to hold her back. “Get in… quick,” Mr. Parker urged her and Mr. Knight. “We will be behind you,” Mr. Westfield told him, and they all stopped. At the same time, Kyle drove away. “It will be better if she stays away from Violet, Mr. Westfield. She has frozen, and I don’t know what does it means for a depression patient?” Mr. Parker said to him.

“She will not come anywhere near to her but I want to be there with you guys,” Mr. Westfield requested him and also assured them that Nathalie would not go in front of Violet. “No… I… I want to,” Nathalie said, opening her mouth, but Mr. Westfield scolded her, “You have done enough damage to her, Nathalie.” “Don’t make me lose my temper,” he warned her sternly before turning to face Mr. Parker. He gave them a curt nod and then stormed toward his car while holding Nathalie by her arm. She cried, but she didn’t say anything else. She had no idea about Violet’s condition, and now she was also regretting for not paying attention to what Mr. and Mrs. Parker told them about Violet’s condition.

At the same time at Violet’s house:-

Violet froze at her place as soon as she heard a faint and familiar but strange female voice calling her affectionately. Her mind started playing everything at the back of her mind that happened to her in the past nine years, and what happened before that when her parents decided to divorce. She was standing at the front door while talking to Kyle because the boys were making so much noise in the living room. Noah was on the couch and was eating the pizza when he got the call. He sprinted, throwing pizza in the air as soon as Ethan roared at him over the call. “What happened, Noah?” Dustin yelled but panicked when he saw Noah running toward Violet. “Violet…. Violet,” Noah called Violet and pulled her toward him.

His eyes widened in shock when he saw her eyes stoned. She was still holding her phone tightly on her ear but her eyes were completely in a daze. “Violet… hey… hey… listen to me… listen to me,” Noah immediately patted her cheeks and cupped her face by one hand while coming to her. Dustin and Justin also came to him, and they gasped in panic when they saw Violet’s condition. Noah was still holding the phone. He heard what Ethan asked him to do. “Run and call Mrs. Hank immediately,” Noah said to Dustin, and then gave his and Violet’s phones to Justin. Dustin immediately ran out of the house towards Mrs. Hank’s home. “Violet…. Princess… talk to me… Talk to me, please,” Noah pleaded in a desperate tone, cupping her face with both hands.

He immediately scooted her into his embrace in bridal style and took her to the couch. He put her down there and then sat down in front of her on his knees. “Go… get some water,” he instructed Justin, and then patted her cheeks a bit harder this time. He was trembling hard in fear but was trying to bring Violet out of her stance. “Violet… don’t scare me, princess…. Please … please say something,” he pleaded to her, but she was living every single moment of her life when she witnessed her family breaking apart inside her mind. The fights and arguments of her parents, the silent cries of her grandmother, and the taunts and torment of everyone making her feel unwanted from time to time.

“Violet… Violet… what happened to her?” Mrs. Hank yelled in panic while running inside the living room with Dustin. “We … we don’t know… she was on call with Kyle when suddenly she froze. Ethan … he .. he called me and asked me to go to her,” Noah told her truthfully what happened and stood up from his place. Mrs. Hank immediately sat down on her knees in front of Violet and her eyes widened in panic. She didn’t think and slapped Violet hard. “Mrs. Hank,” both Noah and Dustin yelled in panic, but she didn’t stop and slapped Violet a few times, and suddenly Violet gasped aloud while trying to breathe. Both Noah and Dustin trembled hard in a panic the way she was slapping Violet but blew their breaths which they were holding all this time when Violet gasped and reacted.

“Breath, honey… breathe,” Mrs. Hank immediately embraced her and sat down on the couch beside Violet. Violet tried to breathe but she felt a sharp pain in her chest. She screamed while clenching her chest and collapsed on Mrs. Hank. “Get the car,” Noah yelled at Dustin, approaching Violet again after standing a little further away from them so Violet could get some fresh air. Mrs. Hank started rubbing her chest while urging Violet to breathe. Tears were falling from their eyes like a fall. “N… Noa,”h Violet tried to call Noah and he immediately took her hand in his. “I am here, princess… I am here… Ethan is also coming… please… please calm down.. you are alright… “You are safe,” he tried to reassure her, and began rubbing her back while Mrs. Hank rubbed her chest.

“It’s hurting, Noah… i.. it’s hurting,” Violet cried aloud while clenching her chest tightly. Noah trembled hard in panic but he had to stay calm. “It will pass, princess… it will princess… just… just breath,” he comforted her but he was terrified inside. This was the first time he witnessed her breakdown, and he wanted to kill the person who was responsible for her condition right now. Dustin had already run out of the house to get the car in front of the house, and Justin was dumbfounded, not knowing what to do. Violet screamed again in pain when another wave of pain hit her chest. Noah cursed everyone under his breath and immediately pulled her into his embrace in bridal style.

On the other side, Kyle was listening to everything through Ethan’s phone as Justin had put Noah’s down on the table in front of Violet and Noah. His knuckles went wide as he was gripping the wheel tightly. “I will kill her… I will kill her,” Ethan yelled angrily while hitting the dashboard a few times. He was now fuming in anger. It was clear to them that something had happened to Violet, and she was not responding to everyone at first and now she was screaming as if she was in immense pain. Both of them flinched hard when they heard her screaming again. “Violet,” Ethan yelled in panic, while Kyle closed his eyes for a second before opening them again. His eyes were cold and he was almost running the car at high speed. It was their luck that there was less traffic on the road and Ethan almost jumped out of the running car as soon as they reached Violet’s house.

He stopped when he saw Violet in Noah’s embrace in bridal style. “Violet,” he yelled again while running towards them. Violet moved her head in his direction and raised her hand weakly toward him. Noah also stopped while holding Violet securely in his embrace. Violet was still gasping aloud as she was having difficulty breathing. Everything that she had bottled up inside her was not suffocating her. Her face was white like snow due to the lack of oxygen in her body now. She was seeing black dots in front of her eyes but somehow registered Ethan’s voice. “Eth…an,” she screamed aloud, and the next second, she was engulfed in a familiar and safe embrace. “I am here, princess… I am here… Just breathe,” Ethan comforted her by pulling her into his embrace.

She was trembling like a dry leaf in his embrace while holding him tightly by his neck. She couldn’t see properly due to the tears in her eyes, but now her heart knew that she was safe. Suddenly, she blinked harder when she thought that she had seen Kyle. She thought that her mind was playing games with her now. “You are safe, princess… you are okay,” Ethan was now comforting her when Kyle came closer to them. “K… yle,” she uttered trying to see properly. She wanted to believe that he was already here for her. “Yes, princess… it’s me,” he whispered lovingly to her. They were still standing outside the front door of her house. She was still struggling with her breath but burst out as soon as she heard his voice.

Ethan moved toward Kyle and Kyle signaled for him to give Violet to him. Ethan wasted no time in passing Violet to him. Violet cried aloud while collapsing into Kyle’s embrace. Mrs. Parker didn’t say wrong when she said that Kyle was her safe heaven now. Her body immediately started relaxing in his embrace as she cried harder. He took her inside and everyone followed them. He went straight to the couch and put her down on the couch but didn’t remove his hands from her body. He sat beside her and Violet clung to him as if her life were dependent on him. She was still struggling to breathe properly and gasping to get air into her system, but her body was now relaxed.

She cried hard in his embrace, and he let her cry. This was the only way to make her vent her sorrow. “I… I… don’t… don’t want to… t…o meet her,” she cried and Kyle immediately nodded while stroking her back. “You won’t, princess. I will not let anyone come near to you. Trust me,” he said to her in a firm tone and looked at Ethan. “Water,” he mouthed Ethan and Ethan immediately nodded. “Here,” Justin immediately signaled to Ethan, indicating a glass of water on the table. This was when all the adults reached there.

They stopped behind the single seat and looked at Kyle and Violet helplessly. Mrs. Parker put her hands on her mouth to muffle her cries. Violet’s cries were shattering everyone’s heart there. Even Mr. Westfield felt that someone had squeezed his heart. This was the first time that he met his stepdaughter and he saw how broken that poor girl was. Ethan was about to give the glass of water to Kyle when Mrs. Hank stopped him. “Let her cry to her heart,” she said to her in a choked voice as she was also crying. Mr. Parker and Mr. Knight looked at each other and then looked back at the kids sitting on the couch. Violet was sitting on Kyle’s lap in a straddling position while crying hard on his chest.

Mr. Parker and Mr. Knight, both felt tears in their eyes, but they blinked hard to keep them back in their eyes. Mr. Parker was now holding Mrs. Parker in his embrace tightly. His wife was heartbroken, and his soon-to-be daughter was broken. He regretted permitting Mr. Westfield to bring Nathalie here. Other boys were also sniffing from time to time. Although they were in high school, they were still kids to bear something like this. They were relieved that Violet was now responding to Kyle’s pleas and was better than before. They were scared to death when they saw her frozen.

“I… I d.. do.. don’t… w… want t.. to … to see them,” she spoke again in between her cries. “You won’t, princess… trust me.. I told you that I will keep you safe, right?” Kyle immediately asked her in a gentle tone and she nodded. “Then trust me…. Trust mom and dad… they… they will not let them come near to you…. You are their daughter now… you are my girl now… we will not let them come near to you,” he comforted her while stroking her back. He signaled Ethan to give her the glass of water because Violet’s throat was completely dry by now.

Ethan immediately took the glass from the table and gave him. “Hey… love… drink some water… you will feel better,” Kyle coaxed Violet and took the glass to her lips. She drank some water but coughed hard. He immediately removed the glass from her lips and Ethan patted her back. The presence of Kyle and Ethan around her was enough for her to make her feel safe. She gasped again but slumped into Kyle’s embrace. He made her drink again and she drank a mouthful this time. Mr. Knight smiled while watching his son trying to comfort his girl like a mature person. Violet’s trust in Kyle amazed him and he felt envious of his son. His relationship with Kyle’s mother was nowhere near to Kyle’s relationship with Violet now. Anyone could see that they built up trust in each other before they fell in love.

“Breath, honey… breathe,” Mrs. Hank immediately embraced her and sat down on the couch beside Violet. Violet tried to breathe but she felt a sharp pain in her chest. She screamed while clenching her chest and collapsed on Mrs. Hank. “Get the car,” Noah yelled at Dustin, approaching Violet again after standing a little further away from them so Violet could get some fresh air. Mrs. Hank started rubbing her chest while urging Violet to breathe. Tears were falling from their eyes like a fall. “N… Noa,”h Violet tried to call Noah and he immediately took her hand in his. “I am here, princess… I am here… Ethan is also coming… please… please calm down.. you are alright… “You are safe,” he tried to reassure her, and began rubbing her back while Mrs. Hank rubbed her chest.

“Kyle,” he called Kyle and everyone looked at him. “Take her to her room. She needs to rest,” he instructed Kyle in a calm and low tone. Kyle nodded to him and then looked at Mr. and Mrs. Parker. They also nodded, telling him to follow his father’s instructions. Violet was clingy to him like a koala but she was better now. She felt dizzy. So she closed her eyes. “I am taking you to your room, love,” Kyle informed Violet in a loving tone before standing up and embracing her tightly in his embrace. She just hummed and took a deep breath. The pain in her chest was now less but it was still there. She needed to take her medication.

Kyle went upstairs with her in his embrace, and everyone sighed aloud. The boys racked their fingers through their hair and looked at the adults. Ethan also wanted to go to Violet but stopped. Violet needed Kyle more than him right now and he needed to talk with Mr. Westfield. There was no way that he would allow Nathalie to come near Violet any time in the near future. Mr. Westfield sighed aloud and rubbed his forehead, as he was also having a headache. He had locked Nathalie inside the car so that she couldn’t come here and he was glad that he did that.

Ethan stormed towards him in anger. “Ethan… don’t,” Mr. Parker immediately tried to stop Ethan but he didn’t listen to him. “You saw everything, right? I wish that you will never let your wife come here again,” he said to Mr. Westfield in an angry tone while glaring at him. Mr. Westfield didn’t like the tone in which he was speaking to him, but he couldn’t blame him for being so rude and disrespectful to him. Violet was his sister and he saw how protective he was toward Violet now. He nodded and then looked at Mr. Parker, and Mr. Knight.

“I know that I am late to be here. I should have come here right after marrying Nathalie,” he paused and took a deep breath. “I will not let Nathalie come here again until Violet recovers completely. But I want to meet her once before going back,” he said to them and both Mr. Parker and Mr. Knight raised their brows. “Don’t worry, I will not ask her to forgive her mother or to meet her. If she wants to meet, she will meet on her own accord. I don’t care how much time it will take. Nathalie lost her chance of reuniting with her daughter due to her lack of judgment, and I will not let Violet pay for her mother’s bad decision now,” he assured them and they looked at each other.

“I don’t think that it will be good for her if you meet her now. I will inform her after talking to her about this after a few days. Her father has already created trouble for her, and you have seen that both her mind and heart are not ready for any other emotional turmoil,” Mr. Parker replied to him and Mr. Westfield nodded. “I understand, Mr. Parker, and I will wait for your call then,” he said to Mr. Parker and Mr. Parker gave him a curt nod. He then walked out of the house. He knew now that he needed to give Violet some time before he meets her again. For now, he had to do everything to keep Nathalie away from Violet for the sake of her well-being. He didn’t know much about medical terms and conditions but he understood one thing after seeing Violet like this that meeting Nathalie could be life-threatening for Violet.

“I think we should take her to the hospital, Alexander. She is calm now, still she needs to consult the doctor,” Mr. Knight said in a worried tone. “I am thinking so. Her condition is making me worried now,” Mr. Parker immediately agreed with him and replied to him in a worried tone. Mrs. Hank came near to them while wiping her cheeks. “I … I don’t know what happened to her but it will be better if you take her away from here, Rose,” Mrs. Hank pleaded to Rose. “Nathalie happened, Gloria. She came to meet Violet but we stopped her. Violet was on the call with Kyle when Nathalie tried to speak with her, and,” she trailed off while closing her eyes after telling Mrs. Hank exactly what happened.

Mrs. Hank’s eyes widened in shock and she put her hands on her mouth. “H.. how could she come back after … after what she did to Violet back then,” she gasped aloud while saying in disbelief. Both Mr. Parker and Mr. Knight looked at each other and then back to Mrs. Hank. “What did she do, Gloria?” Mrs. Parker asked her in a stern tone while clenching her jaw. Mrs. Hank looked upstairs first and then went closer to them. Boys also came near to them as they also wanted to know what made Violet this broken.

“Nathalie was the one who cursed Violet for her birth on her face for the first time before leaving the house. I still remember that day, Rose. Violet had wrapped her small petite body around Nathalie’s leg while trying to stop her from going away. Nathalie kicked her hard to make Violet leave her when she didn’t make her leave. The poor child cried in pain but didn’t leave her leg. Nathalie dragged her out of the house with her and then kicked her once again before yelling at Violet, saying that she didn’t want her in the first place and Violet was nothing but a mistake for her who ruined her life. Violet’s grandmother scolded her for spitting nonsense and asked her to leave. Violet… the poor child cried so hard while pleading to her mother not to leave her, but that heartless woman didn’t listen to her pleas and left her,” Mrs. Hank told them everything that happened back then in a low and cautious tone.

Everybody was stunned and stood frozen in their places. The boys, including Ethan, just blinked harder while processing and imagining what Mrs. Hank told them. Ethan now knew the reason for Violet’s nightmares. He clenched his fists tightly digging his nails inside his palm. Other boys were no better than him. Mr. Knight was also stunned to hear this because he also didn’t expect that the woman who was crying in front of them to let her meet Violet was the one who gave that poor child a nightmare. “Don’t let her be near Violet, Rose. I am begging you. Violet’s poor heart would not be able to bear it,” Mrs. Hank pleaded to Mrs. Parker while holding her hand this time. “Don’t worry, Gloria. I won’t let that woman, even her shadow, be near Violet in this life span… not on my watch,” Mrs. Parker answered her through her teeth while trembling in anger. She looked at both the men standing beside her. They both just stared at Mrs. Hank blankly, regretting their decision to let her come here.
