Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 131

Ethan’s P.O.V.

“How did she survive something like this, huh? I… I thought that Sia is responsible for her nightmares, but,” Noah breathed out angrily and racked his fingers through his hair. We were sitting in the living room of my house. We all came back here with Violet as dad refused to let her stay there. This was the first time that I saw my dad so pissed after Mrs. Hank told us about what Violet’s mother did with her 8 years ago. How could a mother do this to her child? “Man… I shouldn’t feel like this but I feel so lucky and blessed that I have caring parents when Mrs. Hank told us about what her mother did to her,” Dustin said in an anxious tone.

I looked at him while pursing my lips into a thin line. These were the exact same thoughts that crossed my mind there and I was sure that all of them had the same thought. Even I was glad that Kyle’s parents were with him all these years. They had their own flaws, but they were there, filling his life with their presence, not like Violet’s parents. “The way Mrs. Hank told us how Violet waited for her mother every day to return for the next six months, sitting outside her house on the stairs, looking in the direction where her mother went, I felt goosebumps all over my body. “That was more than enough suffering for a child, bro,” Justin said as I closed my eyes. I really pity Violet now, but she didn’t need our pity, instead, she needed our support to come out of this emotional breakdown.

“I was so scared when she didn’t respond to me. I felt that she had stopped breathing too, and it made me scared to death. The way, she screamed in pain…. I felt that pain… here (he pointed toward his heart)…. And it was unbearable. I… I didn’t know how to comfort her… to… to make her feel safe… I am just glad that she has started trusting us and didn’t react badly when I embraced her. Mrs. Hank slapped her six times to bring her back,” Noah said in a sad and worried tone. “Thanks, guys,” I thanked them and they looked at me questioningly. “Thanks for not leaving her alone,” I said further, and Noah scoffed. “She is our friend, Ethan, and there is no way that I was going to leave her alone until I am assured that she is safe. I don’t know why but I had this hunch that something bad could happen to her if she stays alone. That was why, we decided to stay with her until you come there,” Noah told me what he thought and I smiled slowly.

“She is still not your sister, bro… but she is our friend and you know that we don’t leave our friends alone,” Justin punched my arm playfully and I nodded while blinking slowly. “We are going back, Ethan. Call us if anything comes up. We will be back,” Noah said to me while standing up, and other boys also stood up. I opened my eyes and nodded slowly. Noah came near me and put his hand on my shoulder. “I know that Kyle can take good care of her, and she is safe and comfortable in his presence. Still, I want you to take care of her, Ethan. I don’t know what our elders are going to do now, but I am willing to stay by her side,” Noah asked me with concern and I nodded. “It doesn’t matter whether she is my sister on paper or not, Noah. She is my sister, and no one can change this,” I answered, and he smiled.

They all then walked out of the living room, and I also stood up. She was in her room with Kyle, but I wanted to check on her. My parents and Mr. Knight are in the study right now. I don’t know what they were going to do now, and it didn’t bother me much. I knew my parents, and I knew one thing: they would do everything that they could to keep Violet away from her parents now. They made a mistake by allowing her mother to come here because they didn’t know about what happened back then. I walked toward her room and knocked softly on the door. I entered the room after that while opening the door slowly.

“How is she?” I asked Kyle in a low tone while going towards them. She was still sleeping completely, clinging to Kyle. He shook his head while looking at me helplessly. “She is continuously crying in her dreams. “Dreams?” I scoffed while twisting my face angrily, and he sighed aloud while holding her tightly in his embrace. “I don’t know how much time she will take this time to come out of this sorrow,” he said in a sad tone and I sat down near their legs on the bed. I could see stains of tears on her face, and it was breaking my heart. “We have to make her come out of her sorrow, Kyle. You have to make her feel that she is not alone now. She has us… she has you, now… she has the people around her who are willing to do anything only to see her smiling. We need to make her believe this,” I said in a firm tone.

He smiled faintly and then nodded once. It was already nine in night. Kyle hadn’t eaten anything because he was with her all the time. She was also hungry but I didn’t know if she could eat or not. To be honest, I was sure that she couldn’t eat in this state. “Let me feed you. You can’t sleep empty stomach,” I said and then stood up from the bed. “I am not hungry, Ethan,” Kyle immediately refused to eat and I glared at him. “You haven’t even had a glass of water after you came back. I am not listening to you. Just stay like this. I will feed you,” I instructed him, and I also refused to let him sleep hungry. He sighed and Violet stirred a little. He immediately tightened his grip on her body. He had his upper body a little up, and she had put her head on his chest while wrapping his hand around his waist, and I was sure that she had wrapped her leg around his knees too.

I went to the washroom and came out after washing my hands. I then went near to him and sat down beside his waist on the bed after taking the food tray from the nightstand. “I am really not hungry, Ethan,” Kyle spoke again and I glared at him. I didn’t listen to him and started feeding him. He knew that I would not listen to anything in this matter. He was also dear to me. He sighed but started eating slowly. I was cautious about the voices while mixing the food with a spoon. None of us wanted to scare her more now.

Kyle’s P.O.V.

I never regretted doing anything in my life, and I was regretting calling her at that time while holding crying Violet in my embrace. She was having a nightmare when I woke her up again the third time after Ethan went away after feeding me. Since then, she was just crying while hiding her face inside my chest. “I want to forget everything, Kyle… I… I want to forget everything,” she cried, and I just tightened my grip on her. We are at Ethan’s house right now, as Mr. Parker refused to leave us there in her house. After taking her to the hospital, I and Ethan took her here and she slept all the time but woke up from time to time while crying bitterly. I knew that she was in pain but didn’t know what to do to take her out of her pain. I was so helpless right now and it was infuriating me. Both Mr. Parker and Mrs. Parker asked me to stay with her because leaving her alone at night was not an option in front of us.

“We will make new and good memories, princess. I promise you,” I comforted her, but I was determined to do this. I wanted to make her the happiest person in the world. I didn’t know how I was going to do this, but I wanted to do it for her sake… for my sake. She slowly moved her head on my chest towards my face. I looked down and my heart broke down into millions of pieces. Her whole face was stained with tears and the sadness in her eyes was beyond my bearings. “Make … m.. me f.. orget ever… everything, Kyle, please,” she pleaded to me while taking hiccups. I kissed her forehead and then started kissing her face lightly. I knew this was wrong, and it might appear as if I was taking advantage of her emotional breakdown, but I wanted her to relax now.

She whimpered a little but didn’t stop me. I slowly trailed my k****s from her eyes toward her cheeks. I tasted her tears but I didn’t stop kissing her. She stopped crying and tightened her grip around my waist. I slowly shifted her on her back and hovered my upper body on her. I gently kissed the bridge of her nose and then looked at her face. She had closed her eyes and was taking light hiccups now. I gently put my lips on her soft lips. She sighed while parting her lips slightly. I slowly started sucking her lips and she tightened her grip around my neck. I continued sucking her lips slowly. I wanted her to feel my love for her. I wanted her to be assured that I am here for her. She is not alone now.

She inserted her fingers inside my hair and pushed my head a little. It was a cue for me that she wanted to deepen the k**s and I complied with her wish. I pushed my lower l*p inside her lips, and she opened her mouth slightly. She started sucking my lips slowly, and now my heart was running a marathon inside my chest. I slowly moved my body over hers, and now she was lying under me. I was straddling her now. I broke the k**s and trailed my k****s toward her neck. She tilted her head to the other side, giving me full access to her neck while gripping my shoulder and the back of my head tightly.

He smiled faintly and then nodded once. It was already nine in night. Kyle hadn’t eaten anything because he was with her all the time. She was also hungry but I didn’t know if she could eat or not. To be honest, I was sure that she couldn’t eat in this state. “Let me feed you. You can’t sleep empty stomach,” I said and then stood up from the bed. “I am not hungry, Ethan,” Kyle immediately refused to eat and I glared at him. “You haven’t even had a glass of water after you came back. I am not listening to you. Just stay like this. I will feed you,” I instructed him, and I also refused to let him sleep hungry. He sighed and Violet stirred a little. He immediately tightened his grip on her body. He had his upper body a little up, and she had put her head on his chest while wrapping his hand around his waist, and I was sure that she had wrapped her leg around his knees too.

“Kyle,” she m****d softly when I started sucking at the junction of her neck and her shoulder, and her body shuddered a little. She was now breathing heavily while moving her hand all over my back. I moved my head from one side to another while kissing all over her neck. She moved her neck according to my movement from one direction to another. “I love you, princess… I love you so much,” I whispered to her in between my k****s. “I…. love you too, Kyle,” she replied in a soft tone, and I stopped. I lifted my head up and cupped her face. “Say one more time, love,” I demanded in a husky tone while looking at her. She still had her eyes closed. I smiled when I saw a little blush on her cheeks. I couldn’t describe how relieved I was right now after seeing that blush on her face.

She shook her head lightly with a shy smile on her lips this time, and I g*****d. “Please…. Just one more time,” I requested her while keeping her face right in front of me. She tried to move her face on the other side but I didn’t let her. After seeing her crying for hours, this small smile made me so happy as if I had won a trophy. “Open your eyes, love….. look at me,” I demanded again in a husky tone. She had her hands on my shoulders now and I could say that she was now nervous. She slowly opened her eyes and I smiled when I saw shyness there instead of sadness. She suddenly pulled my face toward her neck by pushing the back of my head, taking me off guard.

I chuckled but kept my face hidden inside her neck. I slid my body beside her slowly while holding her by her waist. “Just one more time, love,” I pleaded this time because I really wanted to hear those three words from her again. “I… I love you,” she whispered shyly, and I tightened my grip on her waist. I kissed at the junction of her neck and shoulder again and rubbed the bridge of my nose there. She lightly shrank her shoulder, giggling slightly. I knew that she was a tickling baby. “Don’t do this,” she warned, but I continued tickling her there. “Kyle,” she laughed while trying to push me away from her. Her laughter was the most melodious song for me right now.

“And why would I?” I asked her teasingly while pushing my head more inside her neck, stopping her from shrinking her shoulder. “Kyle,” she laughed again, this time trying to get away from me. I immediately pulled myself over her again and pinned her body to the bed by putting my weight on her. “You… you are heavy,” she complained, and I lifted my head immediately. “What did you say?” I asked her while smiling in disbelief. She still had that blush on her cheeks. “You are heavy,” she said while raising her chin a little higher. I immediately crashed my lips onto hers in a passionate k**s this time. She giggled again but kissed me back immediately. I felt myself on fire the way her body was responding to me. I was about to ask her to open her mouth when her stomach growled aloud. Noah told me that she was about to eat her burger when I called her at that time. She hadn’t eaten anything after lunch in school.

We both laughed together still having our lips connected to each other. I kissed her lightly before lifting my head up. “Let’s feed your belly first. Then I will have my treat,” I said to her and she blushed harder this time. I stood up from her body and took a deep breath. She slowly sat up and I stood up from the bed. I was glad that she didn’t notice the change in my lower body or else she would freak out. I went to the center table and took the food tray. “The food is cold. I am going to reheat this,” I informed her and was about to take a step when she yelled. “No…. no.. don’t go… I.. I will eat it.” I gulped hard when I noticed the fear in her voice. I immediately masked my emotions and moved towards her with a small smile on my lips. “Okay,” I said to her then went to bed. She smiled faintly while blinking hard but it was still a relief for me.
