Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 166

Ethan’s P.O.V.

“Who told you to see the back of your head when you knew that they had shaved your head there before the surgery, huh?” I poked a finger in her forehead while scolding her in a light tone. “Your hair will grow soon, Violet. Let’s have a haircut after they remove your stitches,” Noah chirped, and I immediately shot daggers at him through my eyes. He cowered and looked around. She sniffed harder, and I felt like beating my friend badly. “I… I think… I forgot to shut off the gas,” he said while looking around cautiously and running towards the kitchen as if his a*s was on fire.

Kyle was holding Violet in his side embrace on the couch, and I was standing right in front of her. “I…. I am okay,” she said but her voice choked in the end. Kyle wrapped her head again, according to what we learned from the nurse in the hospital when she was admitted there. She slowly looked up at me with a painful gaze. “A…a… re you sure th.. that I will get my hair back?” she asked me while stuttering hard. “Of course, princess. They only shaved that place, and you know that we get beard again after shaving, right?” I gave her an example, and looked at her to confirm that she understood. She immediately nodded while looking at me innocently. My sister was a nerd, but like Kyle always said, she was too naïve and innocent to understand small things like this.

“It means that you also get your hair back. It’s just matter of time,” I comforted her. “Will they come before prom?” she asked me, and I smiled widely. “Of course, princess,” I replied to her confidently. She relaxed a bit but I knew that she was still worried. “Okay… let’s finish our dinner now. I am really hungry now,” I whined, making a sad face, and she nodded with a wide grin on her lips. I signaled to Kyle to bring her to the dinner table. Other boys stood up and we all walked towards the kitchen. “She will get her hair back, right?” Dustin asked me in a nervous tone while walking towards the kitchen.

I immediately glared at him and looked behind me. To my relief, Kyle and Violet were a little far away from us, and Kyle was saying something, taking her full attention. “Of course she will. If she doesn’t, then I will arrange for a hair transplant. Now shut up and don’t bring this topic again,” I answered him in whispers and hit him on the arm in the end while glaring at him. He hissed and rubbed the place while looking at me angrily. I didn’t pay attention to his reaction and continued walking with Noah.

“Uhhhh…. Ethan,” we stopped when Kyle called my name. I looked back at him questioningly. “I am taking her back to the room. I don’t think that she will stay awake during dinner,” he said while holding her tightly in his side embrace. I could see her trying hard to stay awake. “I am okay… I… I am just tired,” she immediately protested, but I could see exhaustion on her face. “Take her back to the room. I am bringing your dinner there. You can feed her,” Noah instructed him in a calm tone instead of me. Kyle nodded and then moved towards their room. We again continued walking towards the kitchen.

I and Noah prepared a plate for both of them while Dustin and Justin put food on their plates after taking seats beside the table. “To be honest, I really wish that Mrs. Bishop gets the right punishment for putting Violet’s life in danger and making her suffer this much. Violet doesn’t deserve anything like this,” Dustin said while filling up his plate. “Yeah… I agree with Dustin. I mean no offense, but after seeing Violet in pain again tonight, I also wish for the same,” Justin immediately agreed with him while filling his plate.

“She will get the punishment she deserves for her crimes. There is no way that my father will leave that woman for bringing so much pain to Violet,” I replied to them in a calm and confident tone while preparing a plate for Violet. “Did you talk to your father about Violet’s father, huh?” Noah suddenly asked me, and I nodded while pursing my language. “They said that they will talk to Mr. Westfield about that first,” I answered, taking a deep breath when I remembered something. “What is it, Ethan?” Noah asked me immediately in a concerned tone.

“The trial will being after five days of our return,” I told him, and he just stared at me blankly before nodding in response. “This is not enough that her father is now on a mission to bring more problems for her,” Dustin said in a bitter tone. There was silence in the room for a few seconds before I took a deep breath again. “Let’s not talk about this more, guys. She still doesn’t know about what her father is planning. Dad asked me not to say anything to her right now. He said that he will tell her when we go back,” I said with a sigh. Everyone nodded, and I signaled to Noah to go to their room with me. We both walked toward their room.

“I got a call from David today when we were on the beach,” he told me during our walk. I narrowed my eyes questioningly, asking him to continue. “He said that Grace contacted him yesterday. She wanted to talk with Violet,” he told me further, and I rolled my eyes in frustration. “Give her a break, damn it,” I yelled in frustration while looking in front of me. “That girl truly has the audacity to approach Violet,” Noah chuckled bitterly, making me scoff. “Grace has Violet’s number, right?” suddenly Noah asked me in a confused tone, and I nodded while knitting my brows in confusion.

“Then why did she approach David instead of calling Violet directly? I remember that she sent her a message earlier,” he continued in a confused tone. I was now also confused. Suddenly I remembered something that made me g***n again. “Did you forget that she likes David?” I asked Noah. “O yeah… how could I forget that,” Noah immediately responded with a chuckle. “She is making Violet an excuse,” I continued, and we both scoffed together. I knocked on the door, and waited for them to let us in. It was really frustrating that I had to wait to enter her room because of Kyle’s presence. I didn’t want to put her in any awkward situations.

“Do you think that they progress further?” Noah asked me in whispers, and I snapped my head towards him. “Don’t be nosy,” I immediately slapped his arm while scolding him. I grabbed the knob and twisted it to open the door when I didn’t get any response from inside. Kyle immediately put a finger on his lips, indicating us we should be quiet. I saw her sleeping peacefully. She had her head on his lap. “Make sure that she eats,” I instructed him in whispers while putting the plate in front of him. “Thanks, Ethan,” he said in whispers too. Noah put his plate on the nightstand. “If you want to eat with us, then we can wait for you on the table,” Noah said to him in whispers.

“Come out after feeding her. We will wait for you,” I said before Kyle could say anything and signaled Noah to take the plate back. “I am okay, guys…. Go and eat…. We all are tired,” Kyle said in whispers, but I shook my head negatively. He was not here to take care of Violet only. There was no way that I would let him eat his dinner all alone here. “We are waiting for you,” I replied to him and raised my hand in the air to make him stop when he opened his mouth again. He closed his mouth and sighed deeply. “Okay,” he said in a defeated tone. I took Violet’s phone from the nightstand.

Both Noah and Kyle looked at me questioningly, but I didn’t explain anything. “Feed her now,” I instructed Kyle again before walking out of the room with Noah. I opened Violet’s phone after closing the door behind me. “Do you think that their relationship will last long?” Noah asked me after some time while walking towards the kitchen again. “Of course, Noah…. Their relationship is stronger than we can imagine,” I answered him in a calm tone while going through Violet’s contact. I wanted to see if Violet had blocked Grace.

“Yeah… you are right,” Noah said and I glanced at him while knitting my brows in confusion. “I and Jenny broke up before we came to this trip,” he told me in a sad tone, and I raised my brows in surprise. “You didn’t tell us,” I said in a surprised tone. He scoffed and looked down at the plate in his hand. “She …. She is a good girl bu… but,” he trailed off and took a deep breath. I put my hand on his shoulder, and squeezed it gently, trying to give him a little comfort that I could provide him right now. “Anyways…. I don’t regret being with her in a relationship. I really like her, and was happy with her,” he said further but didn’t lift his head up.

“No matter what the situation in front of us is, Noah…. Always remember that we are with you. You are not alone,” I comforted him in a calm tone. He smiled and looked back at me. “I know…. And thanks, Ethan,” he answered me and I smiled back in response. We reached the kitchen, and I removed my hand from his shoulder and looked back at her phone. I scoffed and jerked my head lightly when I saw that she didn’t block Grace. What a scheming girl was Grace? After everything, she was really courageous to approach David. It was not my concern, though. It was her and David’s business, and David knew how to deal with it.

“What happened?” Dustin asked in a concerned tone when I took a seat beside him. “Kyle will be here to have dinner with us. Let’s wait for him,” I answered him, still checking Violet’s phone. I wanted to make sure that her father didn’t approach her by any means. I took a breath of relief when I saw nothing from her father’s side. She even didn’t have his number in her phone. “We will fly back the day after tomorrow, right?” Justin asked after some time. I nodded and put her phone down on the table.

“Can’t we stay for a few more days?” Dustin asked while pouting. “We can’t, guys… the school is starting again on Monday,” I answered him and he shrank his nose in disappointment. “Can we come back in Christmas holidays?” Noah asked in a hopeful tone this time. “I am sorry guys but my parents are planning something for Violet on Christmas. It will be her first Christmas with our family,” I answered him and he nodded immediately. “Yeah… she should stay with her family (Noah put a little pressure on these words) this year,” Noah said again and I smiled.

What are you guys deciding about college?” Dustin asked after some time. I looked at him flatly while tilting my head on other side. “Seriously speaking…. I am really confused now what to choose as major,” Noah g*****d while scratching the bridge of his nose. “Same goes with me. It… it’s really hard… harder than our final match in the tournament,” Justin voiced out his thoughts while shrinking his nose in a bitter way, and I laughed while shaking my head in agreement. “What are you thinking, Ethan?” Noah asked me after my laughter died.

“I will take admission in the same college as Violet,” I answered him truthfully, and he knitted his brows in confusion. I took a deep breath and straightened my back. “You know that she is confused about what she takes due to everyone’s expectations, right?” I asked them, and everyone immediately nodded. “I think she is going to take business administration as her major, instead of going for medicines,” I put my assumption in front of them while taking a glass of water from the table. I was thirsty.

“Why do you think so?” Dustin asked me in a confused tone. I drank some water and put the glass back in its place on the table. “I just have this hunch. She didn’t say anything about this, but I am sure that she is thinking of taking business administration and economics as major subjects,” I answered him in a confident tone. “Then I will also join her at the same college,” Dustin said in a resolute tone. Justin immediately smacked the back of his head, making Dustin hiss in pain. He looked at Justin angrily while rubbing that spot. “Why did you hit me?” he yelled at Justin.

“I will also join her,” Justin mimicked Dustin while making a face. “For that you have to study hard so that you can get the same score as she is going to have in finals. Can you do that?” Justin continued, and both I and Noah giggled. Dustin glared hard at us, making us burst into laughter. “I am not talking to you guys,” Dustin whined and crossed his hands in front of his chest while slumping in his chair. “What happened, guys?” We all looked in Kyle’s direction when he asked in a light tone.

“She slept?” Noah asked him in a worried tone. Kyle nodded while going towards the sink, as he had an empty plate in his hands. “Yeah… she is sleeping peacefully now,” he answered while putting the plate in the sink. “Leave it and come for dinner first, Kyle. I am really hungry,” Justin said to him. Kyle nodded and washed his hands before coming back to the table. He sat down beside Noah on the other side. It was a round table.

We all started eating in silence for a while. “Did you get any news from the national team?” Noah broke the silence by asking Kyle after some time. He nodded without lifting his head up. His eyes were still on the plate. “I have to submit my documents after going back. I got a mail from them in the afternoon today,” he replied to Noah, and we all looked in his direction in surprise. “You didn’t tell us,” Dustin complained, and I also nodded in agreement. Kyle didn’t answer immediately, making me raise my brows. He had something in mind, and I was sure that it was not good.
