Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 63

Violet’s P.O.V.

“I don’t understand why they hate you so much that they wanted to kill you”, Samantha sobbed again while cursing everyone who was responsible for my present condition. “I am fine now, Sam… please don’t cry”, I told her in a calm tone and pleaded also because I really couldn’t see her crying like this. She was not a motherly figure to me, but she cared about me so much. I looked at Victor for help but he looked upset. “They got the punishment which they deserve, Sam and I will make sure that they never come around her in the future too”, Mrs Parker also comforted her and tried to assure her. “How did this happen inside the school? If she is not safe inside the school, then where else can we be sure about her safety?” Victor spoke this time in a disappointed tone.

Mrs Parker took a deep breath and then looked at Victor this time. She was also sitting on the bed on the other side. “I talked with the school management and other members of the disciplinary committee and we decided to form an anti-bullying unit in the school too to stop these kinds of incidents. It doesn’t matter which family a student belongs there. They are all equal there, in school”, she answered him in a firm tone. I looked in between her and Victor. Victor never showed his concern for me before. But this time, he was genuinely upset. He was sitting near my legs. “For how long does she has to stay in bed”, Samantha asked Mrs Parker this time. “She has to go to the hospital on Wednesday for further check-up. Until then, she has to stay still in bed”, Mrs Parker told her truthfully.

“Let’s assume that the whole next week too, right?” Sam assumed while looking at her and Mrs Parker nodded to confirm. “Will it affect her scholarship?” she asked in a worried tone this time. “Sam…. You know I can cope with my studies…. So don’t worry… it will not affect my scholarship”, I replied to her instead of Mrs Parker while looking at her with a pout. Sam smiled weakly and kissed my forehead gently. “Don’t stress yourself, honey…. You always scared me to death”, she scolded me lightly while showing her worries about her. I smiled and then snuggled on her chest as she was still holding my head in her embrace.

Sam and Victor arrived in the afternoon today after lunch. Sam cried bitterly when she saw me lying like that. Although she already knew about my condition, she still couldn’t stop herself from crying. Victor somehow managed to console her but his face revealed his true emotions this time. He was also not happy and I could say that he was angry too. Suddenly Mrs Parker’s phone started ringing and I looked at her this time. “I need to take this call”, she informed us and then got off the bed immediately. She walked out of the room, leaving us alone while taking the call. “How are you really feeling, Violet?” Sam asked me in a cracked tone. “To be honest, Sam….. bored”, I told her truthfully and pouted once again.

She laughed a little and tightened her grip on me. “I am sure that she is taking good care of you. Still I want to know if you are comfortable here or not?” Victor asked me in a concerned tone this time. “They are really nice, Victor and she is taking care of me just like her son or should I say that she ignores her son if I need her help”. I told him truthfully and he blew a breath of relief. “I am sorry, Violet that we couldn’t come sooner. Selene was also not well as she had caught viral fever”. He apologized to me and told me the reason why they were not here for me when they came to know about the incident.

“O my… how is she now? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” I immediately exclaimed and asked him angrily this time. “That’s why we didn’t tell you earlier because we knew that you would be worried for her instead of worrying for yourself”, Sam answered me instead of Victor. Victor also smiled a little this time while looking at me. “She is my sister…. Of course, I would be worried for her. She is still a child and”, I started blabbering when Sam stopped me in the middle of my sentence. “I know, girl and she also asked me to make a video call after reaching you. I will call her in the evening when she comes back from school. Then you can see that she is okay now”, Sam told me what Selene asked and I just huffed.

Selene was only thirteen years old and she had a weak immune system. She always felt sick whenever there was a change in the weather. That’s why Sam and Victor didn’t stay with me for long. She couldn’t travel much too. She was an adorable girl and I really wished that she stayed healthy forever. “We can’t stay here as they are already taken care of you. We will stay at home and will come early morning tomorrow”, Sam spoke again and then looked at Victor. “Where is the boy who is also injured with you?” Victor suddenly asked me in a calm tone. “ They had their first match today. He was feeling better so he went to play”, I told him about Ethan’s whereabouts. “Tell me honestly, girl…. Are you comfortable here… If not… we will make some arrangements for you at the house”, Sam once again asked me the same question in a worried tone.

I knew what she wanted to know. “I am really comfortable here, Sam…. Trust me… The doctor asked me not to make movements for the next few days and they are doing everything to ensure my comfort and safety. They even assigned two maids to take care of me in their absence. Ethan and Kyle stay with me and help me in my studies too”. I told them everything in sincere words. Victor then took a deep breath and looked at Sam. “We are now relieved that you are in safe hands. I can’t tell you how worried we were these days. We should be here for you but”, he spoke in a gentle but worried tone and the guilt of not being here for me was evident on his face. I was really surprised to see this much worry for me on his face.

“I am really okay… and it’s okay… Selene is younger than me and she needs more care than me. I am glad that you stayed with her instead of rushing here for me”, I tried to comfort him and he passed a weak smile at me in reply. We heard a knock on the door and we all looked in that direction. Maria entered the room with a tray for snacks. “Ma’am sent this for you. She is still on a call”, Maria informed us and then put down the tray on the table. “Thank you, Maria”, I thanked her for bringing the snacks and juices for us. She nodded with a smile and then walked out of the room. “She is the one who stays with you”, Sam asked me about Maria and I nodded to confirm. “Who stays with you at the night?” Victor suddenly asked me while cringing his nose.

“Mrs Parker and sometimes Kyle and Ethan stay with me if Mrs Parker is not at home. They don’t leave me alone”, I told him truthfully, because he had every right to know about everything. He raised his brows immediately. “They are good boys, Victor. They are in all my classes and Kyle is helping me finish my homework and assignment”, I told him again what they were doing for me. I didnt’ want them to worry much for me. I knew that they would shift me home and would hire someone to take care of me, but I didn’t want to stay alone now. I had enough money to spend on hiring someone but I didn’t want to stay alone in that house. I felt that I was used to their presence around me, especially Kyle.

I was talking with Sam and Victor but my eyes darted towards the door from time to time as if he would open the door any time soon and would come inside with his poker face. In just four days, I got addicted to his presence around me. It was not good for me and I shouldn’t have lowered my guards in front of him but I did. “How do you use the washroom?” I came out of my thoughts when Sam asked me curiously. I looked at her in an awkward gaze. It was really embarrassing to tell her but I knew that she would not let me go easily unless I answered her. “Uhhhh… they help me as I can’t move my body by myself. One of them…. whoever is present here… would keep my body straight while holding me tight in their embraces”, I told her briefly the whole situation and that was when they both raised their brows at me.

“You can’t even sit on the toilet seat on your own?” Victor asked me in a worried tone and I lowered my eyes in embarrassment. “Don’t be embarrassed, honey. This is not your fault. You didn’t ask for this … this state”, Sam immediately comforted me, but I was really ashamed because I had never been dependent on anyone for anything and here I was completely dependent on others for everything. “Do the boys also help you… in… this?” Victor asked me in an awkward tone. I knew what he wanted to know. A small smile crept onto my lips this time. “Yes”, I answered him and then looked up at him. He narrowed his eyes at me. “But only Kyle… he always ensured that I wouldn’t put any pressure on my upper body. Ethan is also injured. So, he only helps me eating and study”, I told him everything truthfully. There was nothing to hide right now.

“Does Kyle stay with you in the washroom too?” he asked me again and I sighed aloud this time. “Yes, Victor…. if no woman is present to help me then he stays with me but never looks down on me. He only keeps my body straight and took all my weight on him”, I told him everything so that he stopped worrying about useless things. I didn’t want Victor to be judgemental towards Kyle. Kyle was doing everything to keep me safe. Victor was still not convinced by what I told him. I took a long breath and then looked at Sam first and then to Victor again. “You know me, Victor. I don’t like people touching me. I am comfortable with his presence around me and that’s why, I allow him to stay with me in … in that private place because I really need help there”, I tried to assure him that everything is okay with me. They knew me very well and knew that I would not allow any guy to come closer to me if I am not comfortable in his presence.

Victor took a deep breath and rubbed the space between his brows. “I know what you are worrying here, Victor…. but trust me… I am safe with him”, I spoke to him once again with an assuring smile. This time, he smiled back and I took a breath of relief internally. This was the first time that I saw Victor so worried about me and I felt so happy in my heart. He was the only male figure in my life and for the first time, I felt that I was also as important to him as Selene was. “Okay… that’s enough interrogation, Victor. If she says that she trusts that guy this much, then he must be worthy of her trust. We are also going to meet him soon today”, Sam chimed in this time and scolded Victor playfully. He frowned but didn’t say anything now.
