Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 66

Ethan’s P.O.V.

“You have no say here, Natalie. This is my home and you can’t say harsh words to her. She is not a guest but a member of my family and I won’t tolerate any disrespect against her”, my mom protested while standing in front of Kyle’s mother who was now spitting bull-shit about Violet. “Ha…. You called this home, huh? You know what I and others call this?” she spat venom once again while giving a disgusting look at my mother. My grip around Violet’s head tightened in anger. I only wanted to throw this woman out of my home right now. I was only resisting myself because she was Kyle’s mother or else I couldn’t tolerate anyone disrespecting my mother.

“I don’t care what you call my home…. Because I know very well that you are all jealous of me”, my mother stood her ground firmly and spoke in a proud tone making me smirk too. “Ethan”, Violet whispered in a cracked voice in my embrace. I looked down at her face and saw tears in her eyes. “Why are you crying, huh? Let her say bullshit… they all are jealous of us because we love each other and take care of each other which they can’t do with their family members”. I consoled her but taunted Kyle’s mother at the same time. I was loud enough for her to hear. “What did you say?” she immediately screamed and Violet shuddered hard in my embrace and clutched my shirt tightly. I held her protectively and glared at his mother.

“He is telling the truth. I don’t want to rub the salt in your wound but you asked for this, Natalie”, my mother replied to her instead of me and Kyle’s mother glared at my mother again. “Please, leave or else I don’t know what will I do to you for insulting my kids”, my mother showed her the way out of the room while asking her to leave in a calm tone this time but anger was still evident in her voice. Kyle’s mother was about to say something when the door of the room burst open and Kyle with Dustin came inside fuming in anger. Kyle’s mother was startled by his presence now. “I asked you to leave, not to create a ruckus here”, he said to his mother in a cold tone and stood up with my mother blocking her view to us.

I heard Violet sniffing silently which made my heart clench. “She is the girl for whom you don’t want to date Sia, right?” I looked up in their direction in surprise when I heard her mentioning Sia. There was silence in the room for a few seconds before Kyle burst into laughter. All of us looked at him in confusion but I knew what was going on inside him right now. The pain in his laughter was clearly evident to me. I couldn’t see his mother’s reaction now because of his presence in between us. “So, you are here not because you want me to come back…. But for that b***h, huh?” Kyle taunted her after his laughter died. I felt pity for my friend having such parents.

“Kyle …. You don’t understand… this girl… she is”, her mother tried to say something and I guess, she tried to hold his hand because I saw him yanking his hand high in the air. “Don’t touch me, Mrs Knight”, he roared in anger and Violet muffled her scream by hiding her head deep inside my chest. There was once again silence in the room. “And don’t say another word about her… you don’t know her and you have no right to give your opinion about her…. Sia is the reason that she is lying here and you want to see how innocent your Sia is, huh?” he taunted her again and again. “Kyle… don’t”, my mother held him by his hand and tried to stop him.

“No… she must see… I want her to see how angelic her Sia is because we all are bad people in front of her eyes. Sia is the only one who is the victim here, not Ethan… not Violet”, Kyle answered to my mother in the same high tone in anger and took her phone out. “This girl, huh? You want to put the blame of your failure as a mother on her because she is poor and weak, huh?”, he was still spouting in anger and then shoved his phone in her face. My mother sighed and walked towards us and sat down on the edge of the bed while rubbing her forehead.

The whole room was now filled with Sia’s panting voice coming out of the phone. I covered Violet’s ear immediately because I didn’t want her to listen to those filthy voices. She was yelling like a wh**e in between her panting. Kyle’s mother’s eyes widened in shock and she covered her mouth with her hands while looking at Kyle’s phone in front of her eyes. “I have so many others too. Do you want to see them all?” he asked her in a taunting voice which was a lot calmer than earlier. “And what did you say about this girl, huh?” he asked her while removing his phone from her sight.

“Let me show you what she endured because of your angel. They almost killed her because Sia wanted her dead”, he was still fuming in anger but his voice was now in control. Violet was shaking badly in my embrace. I felt so protective that I wanted to kill that woman now. “See…. This is what this girl got because Sia wanted to have some fun”, he shoved his phone in front of her face once again and she gasped aloud in shock. Her eyes were almost popped out of the socket. She then looked at us and then on the screen once again. “Now… I want you to get out from here and never…. Ever…. Contact me… I am dead for you now”, he said to his mother in a cold angry tone and then took her arm harshly.

“Kyle”, my mother yelled angrily at him for speaking nonsense. Violet once again flinched in my embrace and this time a soft sob escaped from her mouth. “Kyle… no… no… listen to me”, Kyle’s mother protested and tried to remove his grip on his hand but he dragged her out of the room. “What are you doing, Kyle… I am your mother”, she yelled angrily out of the door. “You are not my mother… from today now…. I am dead for you and you two are dead for me”, he yelled angrily. “Ethan…. Go.. stop him”, my mother immediately asked me and stood up from the bed. I nodded and then looked down at Violet who was also looking at me with tearful eyes. “Go”, she mouthed and I immediately put her head down on the pillow gently.

I almost ran out of the room and found him dragging his mother out of the mansion. Dustin was also with me. “Kyle… stop”, I yelled and ran towards them with Dustin on my tail. I embraced him from behind and pulled him away from his mother. “Leave me… Leave me, Ethan… how dare she insult the woman who gave me shelter when I was all alone?” he yelled and tried to remove my grip on his torso. Kyle’s mother stumbled on her feet when I removed his grip on her arm harshly. His grip was so tight that I was sure she would have bruises there. She was not my concern right now. “Kyle… calm down… calm down, brother”, I tried to calm him down but he started thrashing his body in my embrace.

“Mrs Knight… it will be better if you leave…. Please leave”, Dustin asked his mother in a harsh tone this time. She looked at us angrily and then stormed away. “Kyle… calm down.. you have scared Violet”. I now took her name because I had this hunch that he would calm down only by mentioning her name. I took a breath of relief when he stopped thrashing himself. He was now standing still in my embrace while breathing heavily. Dustin looked at us in surprise and I signaled him not to ask anything right now. This was not the time to explain the whole situation to him. “You have to go to her… she is scared to death right now”, I whispered in his ear and slowly removed my hands from his body.

We three stood still in our places for a while. Dustin was still looking at me indicating that he needed an explanation of what was going on here. After a while, Kyle took a few deep breaths and then looked at me with a calm but painful expression. “I don’t know how to face her now”, he said in a calm but painful tone and lowered his eyes in embarrassment. “You don’t need to be ashamed for what your mother did, brother”, Dustin spoke this time when I was about to say something to Kyle. “Yes, Kyle… Dustin is right. What she did is not your fault”, I also agreed with Dustin at this point though. “Still…. she.. she didn’t know about how they treat me till today”, he sighed and ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.

“Let’s go”, he said after a while and I breathed in relief when I saw him calm now. I looked at Dustin and we both walked behind me. “What is really going on, Ethan?” Dustin asked me in whispers while holding me by my arm. “I will tell you later”, I whispered b back to him. He pouted in annoyance but didn’t ask me again. We reached inside her room again behind Kyle. “Thank god you are here”, my mother exclaimed immediately, making me narrow my eyes in confusion. “What happened?” Kyle asked her and I looked at Violet. She had her head low and her eyes were closed. Her lips were trembling but she was not crying. Kyle immediately walked near her. I stopped Dustin with me near the foot of the bed. “She is his remedy. Only she can make him forget his every sorrow and misery”, I said to Dustin in whispers while looking at my friend who was now coaxing a girl whom he hated the most.
