Axle sat back down and got glares from Bea and Cody,

"Explain yourself."

Axle chuckled nervously,

"Well um... almost every week I would get beat up by those three... surprise?"

Bea's eye was twitching as Cody looked as if he was going to explode. Nick sat down,

"And that's not even the full story."

Axle glared at Nick,

"Can't I tell them the rest later?"

Nick shook his head and Axle groaned,

"I don't even know how to tell them the other half."

Nick pulled out his phone,

"Can I just show them the evidence?"

Axle buried his head in his arms,

"Sure."

"Are you cool with if Piper and Parker see it?"

Axle grunted,

"Sure I don't care anymore."

Axle could hear as Nick tapped on his phone. He heard a couple of gasps but kept his face hidden, Axle didn't want their pity.

"Axle Amado!"

Axle looked up to see Bea's concerned face,

"Don't look at me like that B."

Bea glared and Axle chuckled,

"That's better."

"You're coming to stay with me."

Axle's head shot up,

"What!?"

Bea looked serious,

"You heard me."

Axle looked for any sign of pity,

"Don't pity me, Bea."

Nick laughed and put an arm around my shoulder,

"You can stay at my place too, I moved out of my parents' house and live in an apartment."

"I'll a-"

Axle cut Cody off,

"Don't finish that sentence. Guy's how am I supposed to explain this to my parents without getting the police involved. They're best friends with several of the local police officers around my neighborhood. I tried telling them, they don't believe me."

Nick smiled,

"That's where I come in, I know a police officer, who is a mother figure who I can tell, plus we have evidence ya dummy."

Axle felt nauseous,

"This won't work."

Cody scoffed,

"How could this not?"

Axle rested his head on the table,

"It never does."

Axle heard Bea speak,

"And what's this about a bus?"

Axle looked up confused,

"I thought you knew when you said, 'oh you worried me so much'"

Bea shook her head and Nick explained,

"Yesterday I saw Axle getting beat up and grabbed a teacher, then I took him to the nurse's office. After I was riding the bus back to my apartment complex, I happened to be riding with Axle. We were listening to music and the bus caught on fire somehow. Axle heroically got up and helped people out of the bus with my help, Axle hopped back into the bus to grab a little girl hidden under the seat. Wait why am I explaining this, there should be a video."

Nick pulled out his phone and looked up something, he set his phone so everyone could see it and played the video for everyone. It was the same video from this morning. It went to the one part where Axle's arm was shown and Cody gasped looking at Axle's bandaged arm and Bea gently took his arm,

"Jeez, kid!"

Axle smiled, he liked the fact that Bea called him 'kid' even though he was only a year younger. Axle glanced around and saw someone familiar looking standing in the lunch doors. Panic rushed through Axle's veins, it was his brother. Nick took in his face and turned to look at what he was staring at. Axle's hand began to shake,

"Um... Nick... I-"

Nick stood up and motioned to Piper and Parker. They both nodded and jumped up, the ran over to Axle's brother and started talking to him. Nick pulled Axle up,

"C' mon Axe, let's get out of here while he can't see you."

Axle gulped and followed closely to Nick as they exited the lunchroom.
