Fifty Shades of Way

***Ivy's POV***

There was no way Gerard could know I loved him back. At least not yet. That would make things in school even more awkward, and we don't need that. I stuck my hands in my pocket, and felt a small piece of paper. I furrowed my eyebrows, and opened it up.

-Meet us by the school entrance early tomorrow morning, before the bell. You better be there.-
My eyes widened, and I felt my hand start shaking. This wasn't Gerard's handwriting. But he's the only person that would leave a note in my pocket. I stared at it for another moment, before shoving it back into my pocket. I needed to confront him about this tomorrow.

I turned the radio off, and turned off my lights. I began to feel my eyes drooping, until I peacefully drifted off into a deep sleep.

****Next morning****

My comfortable sleep was killed the moment my alarm clock went off. I hated that thing. I slammed my hand down, shutting off the irritating beeping. As every morning, I rolled myself out of bed, brushed my teeth, got dressed, skipped breakfast, and headed to the school. I kept my right hand in my pocket, clutching to the note I received yesterday. I still had an eerie feeling about this, but I pushed my fears aside, allowing myself to walk faster. I saw the school entrance in view, and began to slow my pace. There were three people waiting for me. Non of them were Gerard. I mentally slapped myself for thinking that he would ask me to meet him. I knew exactly who those people were. Danny, Jaclyn, and Victoria. I gulped, and tried make my way past them as fast as possible.

"And, where do you think you're going? Hmm?" Danny grabbed my arm, turning me around.

"I'm going inside. I suggest you do the same." my voice was shaking

"Nah. Don't feel like it. In matter of fact, Victoria, Jaclyn, and I want some company." he gave me a sly smile. I cringed at the thought of what they were planning. Well, I'm fucked.

"Please, just leave me alone." I begged. They ignored me, and Danny grabbed my arm hard, dragging me to the back of the school. This couldn't be good. Before I knew it, I felt a cold, hard hand, meet my face. I grabbed my cheek in pain, and attempted to hit him back.

"Don't even try to hit me. You'll just hurt yourself even more." he smirked. I still didn't stop. I kept taking swings at his face, but he just laughed at my stupidity. I finally gave up, and let them hit me. Victoria, and Jaclyn are much stronger than they looked, which just made Danny's hits even worse. I started to feel blood coming out of my nose, so I screamed. Maybe people in the area heard my scream, and notice what the were doing to me. Each one rolled their eyes, taking one last kick, and went into the school, laughing, leaving me outside curled in a ball. I made sure they were completely out of view before bursting into tears. I cried for what seemed like hours, but only minutes. Once I calmed down, I gathered up all my belongings, and entered the school through the cafeteria, keeping my fingers crossed I wouldn't get noticed. Once I was inside, I ran into the bathroom, and looked at myself in the mirror. I had blood flowing out my nose, and bruises forming on my cheeks. I closed my eyes, and let tears flow out. Once I calmed down, I picked up my bag, and papers, and headed out the door, towards the janitor's closet. No one would find me in there.

I went through my book bag, and took out my schedule. Chemistry, first period. Fuck. I can't go to class looking like this. There's no way. I shifted around a bit, trying to get comfortable. Although, it's a janitor's closet. It's kind of impossible to get comfortable. I shrugged it off, and closed my eyes. I fucking hate this school.

***Gerard's POV***

The first thing I noticed was Ivy's absence. I knew it was because of me. I felt horrible. I decided against teaching today, since I was in a pretty pissy mood. I just gave the students a quiet lab report, as I sat at my desk, with my head in my hands. Fuck this. Before I knew it, the bell rang, bringing in my next class. I watched as all the students bombarded into the classroom. I rolled my eyes, and handed them worksheets.

*******

After a long morning of dealing with shitty teenagers, I finally made my way to lunch. I passed the janitor's closet, as I do everyday. Only today, something was off. I stopped walking, and heard quiet sounds coming from inside.

"Is anyone in there?" I asked. I heard quiet movement coming from inside. It sounded like someone shifting around or something. I immediately swung the door open, revealing a tear stained Ivy. Her nose and lips were covered in dry blood, sending a shiver down my spine. I rushed over to her, embracing her small body in mine. She lightly cried onto my shoulder, as I rubbed her back.

"Just tell me what happened whenever you're ready." I whispered. She looked at me with her hazel eyes, and leaned her head back on my shoulder.

“No one likes me.” She whispered. I put my thumb under her chin, and lifted her head up.

“Don’t say that, Ivy. Plenty of people like you. I like you. A lot.” I regretted saying that until she began to blush, hugging me tighter.

“Sometimes it feels like you’re the only one in the world that does.” She muttered.

“Are you ready to tell me what happened?”

***Ivy’s POV***

I sighed and nodded. Might as well. I Explained everything that happened this morning with Danny, Victoria, and Jaclyn. I could see the rage in his face as I went on. He kept clenching his fists whenever I would mention one of their names. He looked so angry, I thought he was going to punch a fucking hole in the wall.

“Ivy, if they ever come near you again, I want you to run to my room. You know I’m always there. Just come find me, and I’ll handle it from there.” I nodded in response, and he smiled for what looked like the first time all day. He sat down next to me, and we spent the rest of the lunch period snuggling in the janitor’s closet.
