Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 52

Violet’s P.O.V.

“It was good that there was no fracture but you have to stay in bed for approx. one-week minimum”, the doctor told us after going through my reports. I was relieved to hear that there was no fracture but got worried when I heard about staying in bed for a week. “And after one week, she can go to school?” Ethan asked him in a concerned tone. The doctor pursed his lips into a thin line and then looked at all of us. I was still lying on the hospital bed inside his room. “After one week, we will do an X-Ray again and if everything will be okay at that time, then she can move according to her will. But for the next few days, she has to stay in the bed. Having no fracture doesn’t mean that she can move any time soon”, the doctor informed us in a serious tone.

Both Kyle and Ethan looked at me with concern. I just closed my eyes and gulped down. How would I survive this week? I couldn’t stay this long in Ethan’s house as it would be inappropriate and I couldn’t call Samantha to stay with me either. Jenny had her college and her jobs to finish. Then who else was going to help me this week? “You are again thinking trash, huh?” I felt someone poking his finger on my forehead making me open my eyes. I just blinked when I saw Kyle standing near me. I didn’t reply to him but looked in the other direction. I saw Ethan still sitting on the chair.

I didn’t realize that they had finished their talk with the doctor while I was deep in my thoughts and worries. Ethan slowly stood up with the help of a nurse as he was still not able to stand up on his own due to bruises on his thighs and on his lower back. I couldn’t tell how many times I had already cursed David and his team in my heart. If they wanted to beat me, then they should target me instead of Ethan. Ethan was only defending me and they could control him in any other way. Ethan hissed a little making me shrink my nose in pain too. The nurse helped Ethan to sit in the wheelchair and drove him out of the room.

“I am carrying you so that I can make you sit in the wheelchair, okay?” Kyle said to me in a gentle tone and I just nodded. He then scooped me into his embrace in bridal style cautiously and I wrapped my hands around his neck to secure myself in his embrace. My heart skipped a beat when his hot breath fanned the side of my face. He gently put me down in the wheelchair but still, I hissed in pain. He looked at me apologetically but I smiled weakly ensuring him that I was alright and that he made no mistake on his side.

Another nurse then drove me out of the room and Kyle walked out with me. I was still thinking about what to do now. I had to talk with Ethan’s mother to let me go home. She was a busy woman and she also had to take care of both Ethan and Kyle, especially when Ethan was also injured. Maria told me about Kyle and the conflicts between him and his parents. I couldn’t do anything but feel sympathy for Kyle. He was one of the brilliant students in the school and was also a good the best captain and a good player. He didn’t have any kind of bad habits except for bullying me. He had a prosperous future and any parent can be proud of a son like him. Then why on earth they didn’t treat him well?

“What are you thinking so hard?” I came out of my thoughts when I suddenly felt my body in the air. I gasped and immediately wrapped my hands around his neck in fear. He grunted a little but secured me in his embrace. I then realized that we were already in the parking area. I must have been zoning out too much now. He gently put me in the back seat of the car and Kyle then put a sheet on my lower body and then closed the door. He then entered the car from the other side and gently put my head on his lap. I stirred my head a little on his lap and made myself comfortable. I was glad that it was Kyle who was sitting with me. It would be really awkward lying on Ethan’s lap. He was sitting in the passenger’s seat as Ethan’s mother sent a driver with us. She was still at the school for the meeting.

Kyle covered me to my shoulder and secured my upper body in his embrace. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. “What?” I heard Kyle asking me something. I opened my eyes and looked at him timidly. “Nothing”, I replied to him and he raised his brows. “Care to tell what were you thinking so hard that you didn’t realize about the place, huh?” he asked me again in a calm tone. I looked in my front and saw Ethan also looking back at us with an amusing smile on his lips. “Uhh… I was just… just.. think.. thinking about my injuries”, I made an excuse after thinking hard.

“I know what were you thinking, okay? So don’t lie to me”, Kyle said in a calm tone, but I felt that he was scolding me. “If you say so then tell me what she was thinking?” Ethan asked him in amazement, and I also looked at Kyle. “She wants to go home as she doesn’t want to bother your mother”, Kyle answered him in a calm tone but his statement really took me off guard. My eyes widened in shock. Could he really my mind? “Is it true, princess?” Ethan asked me and I just nodded in agreement still looking at Kyle in shock. “O My”, Ethan exclaimed and an amusing smile crept on Kyle’s lips.

I was so embarrassed that I closed my eyes as I was not able to face them right now. “I have to say, Kyle, that you know her better than anyone else. You always know what is going on in her mind”, Ethan commented on us in a light tone but it made me blush harder in embarrassment. Why couldn’t he shut up, huh? “She is too easy to read. There is nothing special about this”, Kyle replied to him in a casual tone. “Is that so? Then why can’t I read her mind or tell what is thinking, huh?” Ethan asked him again in the same tone. I didn’t know what reaction Kyle gave him here because my eyes were closed. There was no sound in the car now.

“You are not in as much pain as you were yesterday. I guess, you will be able to play on Saturday”, Kyle spoke after some time and I opened my eyes once again. He was looking so worried right now. “I am also hoping for the same, bro. No matter what my condition will be on that day, I will play with you. I can’t let you take all the credit of winning that match”, Ethan said in a determined tone and winked at Kyle in the end. “I can’t let you play if you are in pain, Ethan. Nothing is more important than your well-being”, Kyle also said in a firm tone. I smiled while listening to them. The love, care and concern they had for each other was something that I never got from anyone. I admired their friendship and wished to have at least one friend like them.

“You have me and this is enough for you”, suddenly Kyle leaned down a little and whispered to me. My breath hitched and my eyes widened in shock once again. Did I think so loudly? He blinked to confirm and my heart sank. Ethan laughed and hissed in pain during his laughter. “Violet, stop thinking now or he will embarrass you like this”, Ethan said to me and I once again closed my eyes in embarrassment. I now wanted to reach home so that I could hide in the guest room. I didn’t want to face Kyle now. Ethan laughed harder and winced a few times but didn’t stop laughing.

“Hey…. Wake up”, I stirred a little when someone shook me gently. “Wake up, princess… we are home now”, I heard Kyle’s gentle and low voice again and felt that he shook me again. I slowly opened my eyes and saw him looking at me amusingly. “We are home, princess”, I looked in Ethan’s direction when I heard him saying something to me. “We are home?” I asked Kyle and he nodded with a small smile on his lips. He gently put down my head on the seat and then opened the door. I must be dozed off during the drive. I sighed aloud and looked at Ethan who also got out of the car. Kyle opened the door on my leg’s side and then came inside a bit. He gently pulled me into his embrace again and I wrapped my hands around his neck once again.

It was like hugging him from the front. I could feel his heartbeat for a few seconds until he took me out of the car and then changed my position into a bridal style in his embrace. It was so easy for him to change my position as if I weighed nothing. I looked around and saw Ethan walking slowly with the help of the driver. He was still in pain, especially in his legs. “Let’s go to her room. I guess we can stay there with her for some time”, Ethan proposed and Kyle looked down at me. I just nodded to confirm. I didn’t want to stay with them but I didn’t want to stay alone either.

Kyle took me to the room where I was staying right now. He put me down gently on the bed and then covered me with the sheet making myself comfortable. I also stirred a little and made myself comfortable on the bed. Ethan walked slowly with the help of the driver towards the other side of the bed. The driver put him down on the bed and Ethan also tucked himself under the bed. The bed was of king’s size. He was at a comfortable distance from me. Kyle g*****d and lay down on the bed near my leg vertically. “Let’s call everyone in the evening”, Ethan proposed and Kyle looked at him in confusion. “I have to go to school for practice in the evening. You can stay here with her. In that way, none of you will be bored”, Kyle replied to him, and my brows immediately rose up.

“That’s a good idea. In that case, we both accompany each other and I also can take care of her”, Ethan said in an excited tone as if taking care of me was the most important work for them. They didn’t even bother to ask me whether I wanted them here or not. I meant, I didn’t want to sound rude but I was a girl and staying with a boy in a room alone was a big no for me. Ethan was not the kind of boy who can take advantage of a girl still I didn’t want to stay alone with him. Kyle looked at me with a gaze that I couldn’t understand, but one thing that was clear to me here was that he once again got what I was thinking.

“I will be back with the boys in the evening then”, he said to Ethan and then looked at me one more time blankly. I sighed internally and closed my eyes. “Are you not hungry?” Ethan asked me this time and I opened my eyes again. “Yes”, I answered him briefly in a low tone. “You should have told us earlier that you are hungry”, he said in an annoyed and concerned tone. “I am going to get something to eat for you two”, Kyle stood up from the bed and looked at us one by one before going out of the room. I didn’t want him to go out but I was completely helpless here. “Don’t tell me that you are not comfortable with me alone, princess. It will break my heart”, Ethan said to me while faking sadness and he put his hand on his chest over his heart. “No, I am comfortable with you”, I immediately said to her and he grinned. I sighed internally, as I had no option but to wait for Kyle to come back.
