I sat on the brick flower bed beside the stairs. I really didn't want to go in, I just wanted to go home. I put my face into in my hands for what felt like an eternity, while my mind again started battling on whether or not I really should go in.

I don't know how long I was sitting there before I finally mustered up the courage to go in and get it over with. I slowly started to make my way up the steps. I was about halfway up when the door flew open startling me. I looked up to see the last three people who I ever wanted to see and the ones who have been making my high school life a living hell since day one.

All three of them are sports jocks and some of the most popular kids in school. Brawn is the leader of the group and he's the star of the football team. He's is built like a brick wall and tall like a tree. Rick is the star of the track team. He's a tall and lanky kid, but tone. Finally Mike short and stocky, but strong. He's captain of the wrestling team and an absolute psychopath. No one at school ever messes with them if they're together or separate. Basically, everyone went out of their way to avoid them.

"Well, well look who we've got here." Brawn smugly said taking a couple of steps down. "You did a really good job avoiding us today." he continued reaching down and grabbing the front of my hoodie. "Are you ready for your punishment?" he asked pulling me closer.

I couldn't seem to say anything, I grabbed onto his wrists. I knew what was coming, he was going to push me down the stairs. Which he's done it countless times at school. Sometimes just a few steps and sometimes a whole flight.

I was barely able to reach the steps on my tiptoes with him holding me up. I tried to say something, but still, nothing came out. He had a huge smile on his face, he looked back at Rick and Mike, then back at me. When he looked back at me his smile was gone and he head-butted me right of the bridge of my nose. The shock and pain caused me to let go and as soon as I did I felt him push me.

I fell straight back and I felt like I hit every stair on the way down, most of which with my head. When I hit the bottom I landed on my back and my head bounced off the cement. Everything hurt, the world around me was spinning and I had an overwhelming feeling of nausea.

I rolled onto my stomach and pushed myself onto my hands and knees. The first thing I noticed was blood running from my nose and pooling on the cement. I tried to wipe my bloody nose on my sleeve, but that didn't slow the blood from pouring out.

"I guess you hit him too hard." one of them joked.

The three of them laughed.

I slowly started to crawl towards the bus stop bench with a trail of blood following. I knew my nose was broken because my dad has broken it many times. I use the bench to pull myself to my feet.

I looked over and seen the three of them making their way down the stairs. I felt dizzy and nauseous, but I had to get away from them and as soon as I got my barrings I bolted. However, I was barely passed the stairs when I felt something wrap around my waist. I gasped as I was thrown back.

The side of my head bounced off the side of the stairs and my arm cracked against the flower bed. I screamed out in pain as I grabbed my arm. I quickly glanced up and seen all three of them standing there.

"Trying to run away?" Brawn questioned.

I didn't reply, I just looked away.

"Pick him up," he said angrily.

Rick and Mike walked over and violently pulled me to my feet. I yelled out in pain again as pain shot through my arm.

"I thought you would've known better by now," Brawn said driving his fist into my stomach.

I gasped and slumped over coughing.

Brawn grabbed my jaw and straightened me up. "You of all people should know to just take your punishment." he continued squeezing my jaw.

I couldn't answer. I tried struggling against them, even with my body racked with pain. However, it was no use. Ever time I moved their grips seemed to get tighter and the pain got worse.

"You're awfully feisty today," Brawn said pulling me closer. As he did Mike and Rick released me. "Aren't you?"

I grabbed his wrist with my left hand and tried to loosen his grip. While my right arm was so badly racked with pain it just hung down in front of me. Desperate to get him to let go I started picking at his fingers, but every time I pulled or scratched one of his fingers it felt like his grip got tighter.

Brawn took a step back and with a big smile on his face, he drove a fist into the side of my face. I hit the ground hard and blood started dripping from my mouth.

"Not so feisty now are you?"

I lifted my head to look at him and we locked eyes. I started to push myself off the ground while keeping eye contact.

"Hmm, guess so." he laughed as he violently stomped on my right forearm.

I screamed out in pain and started thrashing around trying to get him off, as I sore I heard something crack.

"This is much more fun than usual." Brawn laughed. "So vocal." he continued grinding my arm into the ground.

I yelled and tried to push his foot away

"And feisty," he added.

All three of them started laughing again.

I just laid there hoping they'd leave. So I could run in see Kurt, get my stuff back and get home before my dad kills me.

"Oiy, what's this?" I heard asked.

I didn't reply or look up. I didn't even move.

I was surprised when I suddenly felt the pressure being relieved from my arm. I let out a quiet sigh of relief thinking they had finally had enough. However yet again I was very wrong and felt another hard stomp on my forearm.

I screamed again and pulled my arm away. "You fucker," I mumbled while tucking my arm against my chest and trembling in the fetal position.

"What did you say?"

I stayed still, tears starting to run down my face.

"I asked you a question you bastard." one of them yelled before I felt a brutal kick to my spine.

I shot up cringing.

Brawn quickly grabbed my forearm and yanked me to my feet. The pain was excruciating as he twisted it and held it well above my head, I couldn't move.

Suddenly he twisted my arm the other way so my right hand was almost touching the back of my head. I tried to turn with him to relieve the pressure, but he would just twist it back with great force.

Brawn grabbed the back of my neck and started leading me back towards the stairs. I didn't fight him, I was too tired and hurt too much to keep fighting.

He spun me around before throwing me into the side of the stairs. My arm was still behind my back when I hit the wall.

"Have you learned your lesson now?"

I looked up and seen all three of them standing above me. I didn't say anything, I just laid my head back down on the cement.

Out of nowhere, they started kicking and stomping on me. I covered my head the best I could, but it was challenging with my right arm still pinned behind me.

All of a sudden there was a blood curdling and ear piercing screaming. I didn't know where the scream came from and I wasn't going to uncover my head to find out.

Yelling and screaming were growing all around us. I couldn't make out what any of them were actually saying.

"So loud." one of them said before kicking me brutally hard in the stomach.

I gasped and started coughing so hard I almost vomited.

"See you at school loser."

I could hear them walking away, but I couldn't move.

"Are you okay?" a man asked putting a gentle hand on my head.

I flinched by his sudden touch but didn't reply.

"It's okay, they're gone," he continued gently rubbing the top of my head.

I slowly moved my arm.

"Khaos!?"

"Kurt?" I quietly said before passing out.
