Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 42

Kyle’s P.O.V.

“I don’t need to tell you who is the main culprit behind this incident, Kyle”, Mr Stammers said in a calm tone, but he sounded pissed. Mrs Stone was also sitting with us in his room. “I already had this idea, sir when I saw David and his team there”, I answered him truthfully in a calm tone. He took a deep breath and rubbed my temple. “I only want to ask you not to do anything for the time being. David and his team will play their last game this Sunday. I can’t make a new team immediately. After that match, they will all get their suspension letters from the principal”, he told me and I just nodded.

“What do you want me to do, sir?” I asked him to ensure what he really wanted when he asked me to stay calm. He took a deep breath once again and then looked at Mrs Stone. “We know that Ethan is your best friend or, should I say, like a brother. You are pissed and you should be. Let us take care of this matter and not involve yourself in this case. I am sure that David will blurt out her name soon because we already have enough evidence to prove that he attacked on his own will”, she told me briefly and cleared what Mr Stammers wanted me to do.

“What about Violet then?” I asked her and she narrowed her eyes in confusion. “Of course she will get justice too. It’s not like we don’t know her being bullied by you guys but you never hurt her or tried to harm her. That’s why we didn’t take any action against you guys. But what David did is not tolerable. He has no right to attack a girl on the school premises. Whether belong to a rich family or not, any action like this against a girl is not tolerable”. She was firm in her voice. I just nodded to her and looked back at Mr Stammers.

“Take both of them to the hospital. The nurse said that Violet got some injuries to her ribs as she saw some purple bruises on her lower ribs”, Mrs Stone asked to me in a low tone. I jerked my head in shock at her revelation. “What?” I almost yelled and she took a deep breath. I felt that she winced in pain a few times when she was in my embrace, but didn’t think that that was so severe. “Give her a full body check-up and give her a copy of all her reports. It will help us to strengthen our decision against David”, she instructed me and I nodded. “I guess I should leave now so that I can take them to the hospital”, I said to them and Mr Stammers signalled me to go now.

I didn’t waste a second and almost ran towards the parking area. Ethan and Violet along with the whole team were waiting there for me as Mr Stammers asked me to stay back after the nurse left the office after treating them with first aid. I called Ethan when Dustin asked me about his whereabouts. I didn’t know how Ethan took the call while defending both himself and Violet, but I heard Violet yelling the lockers over the call and I also heard Ethan yelling at someone angrily. I ran towards the lockers in fear. My anger hit the top when I saw Ethan and Violet struggling hard to save themselves from David and his gang. They were ten in number and were attacking at them mercilessly while laughing at them.

After that, everything was a mess as our team was also behind me and they all at once attacked them taking them off guard. After Mr Stammers’ interruption, Violet didn’t let me go as she was holding the side of my shirt tightly while walking with me towards Mr Stammers’ room. I could feel her body trembling hard and I couldn’t blame her for that. She was surrounded by ten tall and strong boys. Any girl would fear for her life and dignity in this condition. “Thank god, Kyle, you are here. I was about to call you”, Dustin almost ran towards me while saying something in a fearful voice.

“What happened?” I asked him but didn’t stop and walked towards Ethan’s car. “Violet… she fainted,” he told me once again in a fearful voice. I immediately ran towards Ethan’s car. My heart skipped a beat when I saw her lying on the floor. Noah was holding her upper body in his embrace while trying to wake her up. I immediately sat down near them and looked at Noah. He was looking pale and scared. I didn’t say anything and took my phone out of my pocket. “Pull her up and lay down on the back”, I instructed him while dialling Mrs Stone’s number. We needed a female with us right now.

“I… am sorry… I can’t”, Noah stammered hard in fear and I looked at him in confusion. “She is severely injured, bro… and I .. I … don’t want to hurt her more”, he told me truthfully the reason for his refusal. “Mrs Stone…. Violet has fainted now… please come quickly into the parking area. We are taking her to the hospital, but I guess we need you with us in the hospital”, I explained to her the situation briefly and pressed the phone between my ear and my shoulder. “Take her to the hospital now. We are right behind you”, she immediately instructed me.

“Okay”, I said to her while scooting Violet into my embrace in bridal style. I signalled Noah to take my phone and stood up while securing Violet in my embrace. “She is badly hurt, isn’t she?” Noah asked me and I just nodded in response. “Where is Ethan?” I asked him when he opened the back door of Ethan’s car. “He is also badly injured and is lying in the back of my car”, Noah told me about Ethan in a painful voice. I pursed my lips into a thin line. I lay Violet down at the back of Ethan’s car and closed the door. I then walked towards his car. “Ethan… are you alright?” I immediately asked him in a worried tone.

“No… no, bro… it’s hurting a lot… call mom and ask her to come to the hospital too”, he told me about his situation in a painful tone and asked me to call his mom. “Okay… I am driving Violet in your car. We are going to the hospital now”, I told him, and then looked at Noah. “Dustin is coming with me. You take Justin with you and ask everyone if someone else has got any serious injury. Ask them to drive to the hospital too”, I instructed Noah and then looked at Dustin. He was also looking pale in concern. “Come with me”, I asked him and then walked towards Ethan’s car once again.

“Sit down in the back and secure her body not to fall”, I instructed him while opening the door of driver’s side. He nodded and opened the back door. We both hopped inside the car and I ignited the engine immediately. I fastened the seat belt and then drove out of the parking area. “Is she alright?” Dustin asked me in a worried tone. “Mrs Stone told me that she got some serious injuries on her lower ribs. She asked me to take her to the hospital immediately”, I told him her condition truthfully. I heard him gasping in shock but I couldn’t blame him. I was also shocked when I heard Mrs Stone.

I called Ethan’s mother during the drive. “Mom… it’s me.. Kyle”, I told her when she picked up the call. “Yes, Kyle… what happened?” she asked me in a gentle tone. “Uhhh… you have to come to the hospital now”, I asked her in a low tone. “Hospital??? Are you okay? What happened?” she bombarded the questions immediately in a hurried tone. “I am okay, mom… it’s Ethan and … a girl from our classes. They are badly injured and we are taking them to the hospital”, I immediately told her the situation. “O my… I will be there as soon as possible. Just take care of them”, she said and hung up immediately.

“Kyle”, I heard Dustin calling me in a panicked tone. “What happened?” I asked him immediately. “She is wincing from time to time”, he answered me and I looked at him through the rear mirror. It seemed that he was about to cry now. “Hold her in your embrace, but be cautious around her ribs. She is scared… try to comfort her”, I instructed him in a calm tone. I saw him pulling her gently into his lap. I could see that he was scared to death right now. I heard Violet wincing aloud this time and my hold on the wheel tightened immediately. What happened with her and Ethan today was really not tolerable. We all knew about Mr Stammers and Mr Bishop’s friendship. I guess it was time to ask Mr Stammers to talk with Mr Bishop now.

We reached the hospital and I immediately came out of the driver’s seat immediately. I cautiously pulled Violet into my embrace from Dustin’s lap. He also came out of the car from the other side and then closed the car. I didn’t wait for him and almost ran towards the emergency entry with Violet in my embrace in bridal style. “Please call a doctor here. She is injured and has fainted”, I requested yelling at a security guard who was coming towards me. He immediately ran inside in front of me. “Put her down gently here”, he instructed me when he brought a stretcher. I followed his instructions and put her down on the stretcher gently.

“I… am sorry… I can’t”, Noah stammered hard in fear and I looked at him in confusion. “She is severely injured, bro… and I .. I … don’t want to hurt her more”, he told me truthfully the reason for his refusal. “Mrs Stone…. Violet has fainted now… please come quickly into the parking area. We are taking her to the hospital, but I guess we need you with us in the hospital”, I explained to her the situation briefly and pressed the phone between my ear and my shoulder. “Take her to the hospital now. We are right behind you”, she immediately instructed me.

I saw Justin and Noah bringing Ethan inside. Ethan was also not looking good right now. He was completely drenched in sweat and his whole face was covered in pain. A nurse came to attend to Violet at the same time. “Please call someone to help him too. They are both injured at the same time”, I requested the nurse while pointing towards Ethan. She looked at Ethan and then called someone immediately. The security guard helped Ethan to lay down on the other stretcher. “I am alright… pl.. please st.. ay with her”, Ethan asked me when he saw me coming towards him. I stopped and looked back at Violet who was still unconscious. My mind was a mess as the situation was really tough.

They took both of them inside the emergency room and asked us to stay outside the room. “Where are they?” I looked back when I heard Mrs Stone’s worried voice. “They took them inside the room. Please go inside and explain the situation to them”, I told her their whereabouts and also requested her at the same time. She nodded and then walked towards the room where they took them. Mr Stammers stopped near me. He didn’t say anything but he looked pissed and worried at the same time. “You need to talk with Mr Bishop now”, I whispered to him and he looked at me with wide eyes in surprise. I didn’t say anything to him more but looked at the closed door in front of me. He knew what I asked him.

“Kyle”, I looked back once again when I heard Ethan’s mother’s voice. I immediately walked towards her. She immediately held my hand in fear. “Where is he?” she immediately asked me in a worried tone. “They took them inside that room”, I told her in a calm tone. “How about that girl?” she asked me in a worried tone again. “She got some serious injuries and is now unconscious”, I didn’t hide anything from her and told her Violet’s condition truthfully. “What exactly happened, Kyle?” she asked me and looked at Mr Stammers who was now standing beside me. I told her everything truthfully including what Kyle told me.

“Is that true, Mr Stammers?” she asked him in a stern tone. He took a deep breath and looked at her helplessly. “I will not hide anything from you, Mrs Parker. Unfortunately what Kyle told you is completely true. I have seen the footage and already complained to our principal about the incident. I assure you that the boys who attacked them will get the punishment they deserve”, he said to her and tried to ensure her. She furiously shook her head in anger. “I don’t care what you told your principal, Mr Stammers. I am calling an emergency meeting of the disciplinary committee. How dare those boys to attack two students inside the school premises? I want their names. There is no way that I will let it slide when it includes a girl too”, she asked him in a stern voice, and I smiled internally. She could be scary whenever she wanted.

Mr Stammers nodded to her in defeat and then she looked back at me. “Who is this girl, Kyle and what was she doing after school there?” she asked me in a calm tone. “She actually worked as team assistant with our team. So she has to stay back after school the all time we practice. She is also the one who is helping Ethan with his assignments”, I told her everything about Violet to her truthfully. “Is that so?” she asked Mr Stammers to confirm what I said. He pursed his lips and nodded to confirm what I said. “I guess she is the same girl who is an orphan and is on a full scholarship, right?” she asked him in a calm tone and Mr Stammers nodded once again. She didn’t say anything, but her expressions were enough to tell that she was completely pissed now.
