Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 50

Sia’s P.O.V.

“Tell me what are these, Sia? Tell me”, for the first time, my dad yelled at me at the top of his lungs in anger while showing me some footages on his phone. I flinched at my place harder but didn’t utter a word. I was so shocked to see those footages because it was all about me harassing other poor students. “You forced a girl to lick your boots only because she accidentally spilt some juice on your shoes. You spat on the food of another poor student and forced him to eat only for fun. You banged the head of another student to the wall because she tried to pass you in the corridor. The list is so long that I couldn’t even watch all those footages. Apart from them, you tried to lock a girl in a closet for fun and then you sent your boyfriend and his team to teach that girl a lesson. What’s all this, Sia?” dad was still yelling at me while telling me what he had watched till now.

His last words about David startled me because this was not what I wanted him to know. “B… boyfriend?” I uttered while looking at him in shock and fear. My mom was also sitting on the couch but she was not saying anything to interfere between us. We were in the living room of our mansion. “Yes…. Your boyfriend, the captain of the football team… do you really think that I wouldn’t be able to get this information, huh? They told the whole committee that it was you who asked that captain to deal with that girl only to satisfy your ego. Do you know how embarrassed I was in that room full of people, huh? I am going to fight for the position of the Mayor and here my own daughter is”, he paused and took a deep breath while running his fingers through his hair in frustration and anger.

“D… dad… I… I… this is not true”, I tried to defend myself and he immediately snapped his head towards me in anger. “This is not true? This is not true? You want to say that what I saw in the footages is fake and you are not the girl in those footages, huh? You want to say that you are not that captain’s girlfriend and all of them are lying about this, huh? You want to say that you are not involved with so many boys in school, huh?” he taunted me with so many accusations making me lower my head in shame. I couldn’t deny those footages. I really never cared about the cameras installed in the whole school because I never thought that my dad would ask to see those footages. He was president of the disciplinary committee and also one of the directors of the school. I used his influence to make teachers cooperate with me and hid all my wrongdoings but never in my dreams, had I thought about this situation.

“Tell me where we are wrong in your upbringing, Sia. Tell me what we failed to provide you”, he asked me in a disappointed and angry tone once again. I had tears in my eyes now because I had no answer to his questions. They were the best parents that I could ask. “How is that girl?” my mom asked me and I felt that someone had poured a bucket of cold water on me. Everything that was happening to me now was because of that b***h. It was her fault that she bewitched everyone, especially Kyle and his friends. “I can’t tell you how is she, Claire. She has to stay in bed for more than a week and the irony is that she is an orphan and she has no one to take care of her, unlike someone who has everything. Still, she is not satisfied”, he told my mom about Violet and at the same time taunted me too.

His words were piercing my heart with thousands of needles. I was his pride and now he was ashamed of me. “Then who is taking care of her now?” mom asked him once again in a concerned tone and I felt the anger building up inside me. “She is at Parker’s right now. Their son is also injured and Mrs Parker took that girl to her home after she got discharged from the hospital”, he told her in a gloomy tone and then sat down on the couch near her. I snapped my head towards him in disbelief. “Violet is at Parker’s?” I asked immediately in a shocked tone and he immediately glared at me angrily.

“Yes, she is at Parker’s and for your information, the son of Knight’s is also living there, thanks to you”. He once again taunted me in an angry tone. He once again stood up and strode towards me, making me take a few steps backwards in fear. “You asked me to pressure his parents to date you and I was so stupid to believe your words. With your reputation among the boys in school, do you really think that a boy like him who had self-esteemed and valued his prestige would date you, huh?” his venomous words shattered my heart in thousands of pieces. It was clear to me now that I couldn’t get the same treatment from my father in the future that I was getting till now.

“It’s not like that, dad. I really like him so much and that’s why I asked you”, I tried to defend myself in this case once again but he took one more step towards me in anger and I shut my mouth swelling everything that I wanted to say to him. “You still have the audacity to say that you are not wrong, huh? Can’t you realize that it’s your fault that Kyle is homeless right now and is staying with his friend when he did nothing wrong”, he yelled once again and I closed my eyes as tears started falling down from my eyes. “Marcus”, my mom suddenly called him in a calm tone. “What?” he yelled back and this made me tremble hard in fear.

“Calm down”, she said in a calm tone, and I saw her standing up from the couch. She came near us and then took dad’s hand in her hand. “We can’t accuse her completely for her behaviour, honey. We are also responsible here. We didn’t pay attention to her lifestyle and left her of her free will. We showed the world that she is invincible because of us. So, partially we are also to be blamed”, she said in a calm but cold tone. My mother was a sweet and very caring woman. She loved me more than anything in this world. I felt my heart shattered again in millions of pieces by her words now.

“Yeah… I know.. I know… it’s not her but us. This is our failure and we have to face it”, dad said in a defeated tone this time. “Come”, she dragged dad towards the couch and then made him sit on the couch. I saw him slumped down on the couch with a broken expression on his face. He looked so tired and exhausted. “Go to your room and get ready for tomorrow. As you are also to be blamed for this incident, you have to face the trial of the disciplinary committee too with those boys. You are going to the committee meeting tomorrow with your mother. Now go away before I lost my temper once again”, he said to me in a cold tone but I snapped lifted my head up in shock. “What? But why? I didn’t ask them to beat Violet and Ethan. I…. I .. just asked him to teach Violet a lesson. Whatever they did was their own will”, I asked him in a bit raised tone and his fists balled up in anger once again.

“Sia…. Go back to your room”, mom commanded me in a stern tone. I wanted to say something to her too but her stern and cold look made me shut my mouth. I stomped my feet angrily on the floor and then stormed upstairs towards my room. David had ruined everything for me now. My parents didn’t want to listen to me now. I banged close my door and threw myself on the bed in anger. “Aaaaahhhhhhh”, I screamed in anger and then threw the pillow somewhere in the room. I wanted to vent my anger at someone but didn’t know whom. I took my phone and then dialled David’s number. “What have you done, you stupid brat”, I yelled at him as soon as he picked up the call.

“What? What did you say?” he yelled back and this fumed my anger more. He never talked back to me like this. He always sweet-talked to me and now he was showing his true colour to me. “Why did you take my name in front of my father? Now he doesn’t want to listen to me”, I was still yelling at him. “So you want me to sacrifice everything only to save you, huh? This was you who wanted me to teach Violet a lesson. This was you who wanted to vent her anger on her for being with the volleyball team. I am your boyfriend but you always keep your eyes on that Knight. We are all in trouble because of you and you are now yelling at me, huh? You ruined our lives, Sia. This is your fault”, he yelled at me in anger once again.

“What? Are you blaming me? I didn’t ask you to beat her. I didn’t ask you to mess with Ethan. It’s you who did everything only to boost your stupid ego”, I yelled back at her in anger. My whole body was now trembling in anger. How dare he blame me when he was the culprit here. “I don’t want to talk to you, Sia. Do not call me again. This is the last time we are talking. It’s over between us”, he said in a cold and angry tone and before I could say something, he hung up. I stared at the blank screen in disbelief. Did he dare to dump me? It was supposed to be me because it was always me who dumped the boys when I didn’t replace them entertaining anymore. “Aaaaahhhhhhh”, I screamed in anger and threw my phone on the bed. It bounced once and then fell down on the floor with a thud. I didn’t pay attention to it and punched the mattress angrily.

It was all her fault. She was the one to blame here. Why was she with Ethan there? I was sure that the school would not take any action if it was not for Ethan. The whole situation got out of my hands because of her. Ethan’s father was also in the competition for the position of Mayor. Her mother was vice president of the disciplinary committee and was also active on other committees. Ethan’s other best friend, Noah’s father was also one of the directors. That was why I never messed with them, because messing with them meant informing my father and that was what happened here. David ruined everything for me with him. Now, I didn’t know what to do to get my parents’ trust back. Now I had to face the trial with those stupid idiots. I didn’t know what my father was going to do there but I didn’t want to ruin my cheerleading captaincy because of David’s stupidity. I had to do something and had to replace someone who could help me but who?
