Falling For The Girl I Bullied -
Chapter 54
Kyle’s P.O.V.
I didn’t know why but I was angry at myself for leaving Violet and Ethan alone in her room. I shouldn’t have been because I never liked that girl and Ethan was now interested in her. If he really wanted to win her heart, then he had to spend some time alone. I was my best friend and I should have been happy for him. Still I was fuming in anger here. I knew Violet and I knew that she would never meet any boy after school or before her shifts. She was a shy girl. It was really hard for her to like someone romantically. Heck, I wondered if she even had any male friends. I lay down on the bed on my back and closed my eyes. I left Ethan and Violet in her room after telling them that I was going to school for practice. I wanted to stay there but went against my will. Now I was angry but didn’t know on whom I vent my anger.
The doctor said that she needed proper care. Still, that stupid girl wanted to go back because she didn’t want to bother anyone about taking care of her. Why was she so naïve? She must be a little selfish as it wouldn’t harm her. She always thought about others. I agreed that she had no one to take care of her in her life but it didn’t mean that she couldn’t take help from others. Her neighbours, like Mrs Hanks, always paid attention to her and helped her from time to time. She never said no to them, then why was she reluctant to take help from Ethan’s mother? I smiled when I remembered her reaction when I told her thoughts aloud. I didn’t know how but I always managed to get what she had in her mind.
I opened my eyes and raised my hands in the air so that I could see them. I could still feel the warmth of her body on my hands and on my chest. She was so soft that I didn’t want to leave her when I hugged her to get out of the car and then made her position comfortable on the bed. I always stayed away from the girls but I wanted to stay with Violet now. I didn’t like her, as Ethan and Dustin liked her now but I didn’t want anyone to stay near her other than me. I smiled when I remembered how comfortable she was in my embrace. Today, she didn’t flinch even once and that made me happy.
I sighed aloud and then sat up once again. I looked at my wristwatch and blew a breath through my mouth. I had to get ready to go to school now. I stood up and went to the closet to get changed. I was still thinking about Violet and her timid, innocent look. Back then, she always obeyed me due to fear. Now it has become her habit. She really had a bad habit of biting her lower l*p due to nervousness. I really didn’t like this habit of hers but it always made me think about kissing her. After changing my dress, I wore my shoes and then came out of the closet. I took my bag from the chair near the study table and then walked out of the room.
I went downstairs while jogging a little. I went straight to the guest room where Violet was staying here. I was about to open the door without knocking but stopped. I raised my hand to knock but opened the door without knocking in the end. “I am going now, Ethan. I am sending Maria to you so that she can help her if she wants”, I informed them while peeking inside. Both of them were still in the same position. “Where is my bag?” Ethan suddenly asked me when I was about to close the door after looking one more time at Violet. Our eyes met for a second and that was enough for me.
I remembered that Ethan asked for his bag so that he could do some homework while staying with her here. What a romantic boy he was. He wanted the girl in whom he was interested to help him in finishing his homework. What kind of hangout was that? “I will ask Maria to bring it from your room before coming here”, I said to him without any hesitation and then closed the door. “Hey”, I saw Daisy coming out of the kitchen. “Yes, sir”, she asked me in a polite tone with a small smile. “Please help Ethan. He wants his school bag in Violet’s room. Please get that for him”, I requested her while walking outside.
“Okay, sir”, she responded to me and I nodded and looked in front of me. I was about to exit when Ethan’s mother entered the mansion. By the expression on her face, I could see that she was not in a good mood. “Are you going somewhere, Kyle?” she asked me when she saw me. “Yeah, mom… I am going to school for practice. What happened? Is everything okay?” I asked her with concern when she stopped near me. “No… I am not okay… do you have a minute?” she sounded angry and very upset. “Yeah, mom… let’s go inside first”, I immediately replied to her and then took her hand in mine. She immediately gripped my hand tightly and then walked beside me to the living room.
“They said that Mr Bishop loved his daughter so much. Today, I saw that with my own eyes. Everyone is biased and he is no exception”, she muttered under her breath but her words took my attention immediately. “He spared her for all her wrongdoings, right?” I asked her with a dry chuckle and she scoffed. “No… he didn’t spare her completely but he didn’t give her the punishment that she deserves for bullying Violet so badly”, she answered me in an upset tone. I wanted to go out but didn’t want to leave her alone like this. “He asked the school management to arrange online classes for the boys as they are now home-schooled for the rest of the year. They are also expelled from the football team”, she paused while sitting down on the couch. I expected the same punishment for them. So, I was not surprised at all.
I sat down beside her. She was still looking in front of her. “As for his daughter, she would stay in the school as she was not directly involved in the incident. She only asked him to teach Violet a lesson, but what they did was their own will. So, she is not to be blamed for this”, she scoffed in the end and crossed her hands around her chest. “But”, she paused again and then looked at me. “The school management will send the security footage related to her on a daily basis to him”, she told me and now I raised my brows in surprise. “He really asked for security footage?” I asked her and she nodded while pursing her lips. “Also, he wants to meet Violet”, she told me again and I narrowed my eyes at her this time.
“Why did you say to him?” I asked her and she sighed aloud and slumped down her shoulders. “I didn’t want him to meet her but it will be good for Violet if he meet her once. So, I agreed and he will be here tonight”, she told me, and now I frowned. I didn’t want to meet Mr Bishop here. “I know what you are thinking, Kyle”, she said in a low tone. I took a deep breath and then slumped down on the backrest of the couch. “I don’t want to go in front of him”, I said to her and she smiled weakly this time. “I know and I also don’t want you to come in front of him. But you should stay with Violet. I saw that she is comfortable in your presence. So, it will be better for her if you stay with her when he comes”, she said in a calm tone but I was surprised to hear what she said.
“What?” she asked me in confusion while jerking her head a little. “Uhhh… nothing”, I said awkwardly and ran my fingers through my hair. “I have to go to practice now. Ethan is with her in her room”. I told her about Ethan’s whereabouts and then stood up. “Why is he there?” she asked me in confusion and stood up too. “He said that he got bored in his room alone. So, he wanted to stay with Violet and they are planning to work on his homework”. I told her the reason that Ethan told me. She raised her brows first and then took a deep breath. “Come home soon, son. You know I can’t handle Ethan in his current state. He is too whinny and throws too many tantrums. Yesterday, after you went to practice, he almost made my nose bleed in anger”, she said with a scowl on her face. I smiled while shaking my head a little. I knew what she was saying was true because I knew Ethan.
“Don’t worry… he won’t bother you today. He has company and he will not do anything to ruin his image in front of Violet”, I comforted her and she raised her brows immediately in surprise. “I will be back soon”, I said to her and then took my bag from the couch before leaving the living room. I remembered that I forgot to tell her that I have to tutor Dustin today too. I guess I could ask him to come here instead of going to his home. Ethan also wanted everyone to come here. It will be good for me too as I didn’t want to go to Dustin’s home. I wanted to come back soon. I was about to enter Ethan’s car when my phone started ringing in my pant pocket. I took my phone out and hopped on the driver’s seat.
I took a deep breath when I saw my father’s name on the caller ID. “Now what?” I asked him while igniting the engine. “You have started tutoring?” he asked me in an angry tone and I rolled my eyes. “I have to do something to fend for myself, right? I do have needs and for them I need money. I got the tuition and I grabbed the opportunity. What’s wrong in it, huh?” I asked him in a taunting tone while driving towards the school. “You have grown wings, Kyle. You know how to ruin our reputation. Stop embarrassing us in front of others”, he yelled at me and I grunted in frustration.
“I don’t understand how working honestly can be embarrassing. I am not stealing anything from anyone or selling drugs or doing any other illegal activity. Then why are you embarrassed? Just because I am learning to stand up on my feet, you see this as a humiliation. Then I am sorry to say, dad, you have to bear it”, I taunted him in a bitter tone and before he could say something again, I hung up. I banged the wheel in anger and threw the phone on the passenger’s seat. He only cared about his reputation and his face. He didn’t ask me how I was doing all this day. He knew that I was living with Ethan but at least he could ask me something that could make me feel that he cared about me.
Why couldn’t I have parents like Ethan and other boys have? It was better to be an orphan like Violet instead of having parents like mine. Just like her, I also craved love and care. The only difference was that she had no one to whom she could see with longing while I have my parents who never cared about my feelings and always ignored the longing for their love in my eyes. I was no better than her in terms of getting the care and love of my parents. I sighed aloud and then concentrate on driving.
