Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 89

Kyle’s P.O.V.

“I don’t know what are you thinking, honey… but… I don’t think that I can trust those boys”, Ethan’s mother replied to Violet in a calm but bitter tone. “To be honest, mom…. I am also not sure about their change of heart but”, Violet immediately agreed with her but paused and then looked at me before looking back at mom. “They intended to hurt me and acted on a whim at that time. I am not saying that they did the right thing because I knew that my life was in danger there and Ethan put his life in danger to save me. So, I can’t defend their action and they deserve the punishment”, she paused and then looked at me again. I really wanted to open her brain right now and wanted to see what was inside her mind. She wanted to help those who hurt her badly.

“You are kind-hearted, princess…. But I am not… I don’t want to see their faces ever again or else I don’t know what I would do”, Ethan also refused in an angry tone. Violet smiled and then went to him. “You know that dad will have the mayor’s election in the next four months, right?” she said to him and I raised my brows at him while suspecting what she was going to say next. “Yeah… that I know… so?” Ethan immediately asked her in confusion. My eyes narrowed when I saw a slight curl at the corner of her lips. “Sia’s father is the opponent”, she said again and now everyone was looking at her.

“Their families are pissed at him right now for not giving a fair punishment to Sia. if Eleven powerful families stand up with us I don’t think that it will bring any harm to us. Do a favor to their sons and it will help dad in his campaign”, she spoke in a cold tone this time and I just stared at her in awe. Never in my dreams had I ever thought that she could be vicious. She was tormented by Sia so many times in the past and she wanted to use this incident to take her revenge on Sia. “Sia’s father will never let this happen, honey. He is very cunning. If I propose to take them back, he will definitely do something to pull this in his favor”, mom answered her in a calm but stern tone.

“I know that mom”, Violet immediately replied to her with a small smile on her lips. “That’s why I am going to make a request in front of the committee to bring them back. I am the main victim in that incident and if I say that I am ready to give them one chance to prove that they have their lesson then I don’t think that he can do something like that. We need to deal with him in the way he used to do things”, she explained what she wanted to do and this really took all of us off guard. “But I can’t do this without Ethan because Ethan was also injured and he also needs to say the same words with me”, she explained further and looked back at Ethan. She was sitting with Ethan while I was sitting at the single seat.

“You really want to forgive them?” Ethan asked him in a low tone. She immediately shook her head negatively. “I never said that I am going to forgive them. They tried to kill me, Ethan. How can I forgive them? But messing with eleven lives when the root cause of that mess is at ease I not settling with me”, she paused and took a deep breath. “It was my luck that you were with me at that day or else I couldn’t even imagine what they were going to do with me. I … well.. I can’t say if they really have got their lesson or not but I want to take this risk”, she said in a determined tone this time and then looked at mom again.

Mom took a deep breath helplessly and then looked at me. “I don’t know what to say here, mom. This is all up to you. But I also feel that Sia should also get the same punishment as they got. If she is still attending the school then”, I spoke my mind supporting her decision. I didn’t know why I did this but I felt this right. The main culprit was Sia but she didn’t get any serious punishment except continuous monitored by her father. This could be done with all of them. “I talked with Mr Stammers and Mrs Stone about this too. They were also not in favor of calling them back but our football team is in a mess right now. Their names were already submitted for the tournament before the incident. Now, we don’t have a team to play there”, she spoke again and I just stared at her not knowing what to say. There was silence in the room for a good few moments.

Ethan took her hand in his hand and intertwined their fingers on his thigh. A pang of jealousy hit me immediately but I concealed my emotions. I knew that Ethan had feelings for her and he had already told me about this. At that time, he asked me whether I had any problem if he approached her, and I said that I had no problem with that when I clearly knew that it was a problem for me. Now I couldn’t say anything to him if he got close to her. I just wished that she didn’t develop any feelings for him but the way she was getting comfortable with him with every passing day, I was now worried. “Let me talk with them first and also with the boys and their parents. I will do what I can do for them”, mom said to her in a calm tone, and Violet with a gentle smile on her lips.

“It’s already late now. You two should leave or else you will not be able to wake up in the morning”, mom then said while looking at the watch and I looked at Violet. “Do as you think is better for everyone. I also want assurance that they will never do anything to harm me in the future. Also, regarding their help in dad’s campaign, leave that to me”, Violet said in a calm and confident tone and I once again looked at her in surprise. She never showed these traits before. What else she had hidden from everyone? “It’s okay…. submit an application to the committee tomorrow and then I will call for a meeting with all those parents with their boys once again”, mom assured her again with a gentle smile.

“Thanks, mom”, she beamed and then we all stood up from the places where we were sitting till now. She went to mom and they both hugged each other. “Move in here, honey… let the boys leave in that home. You come and live with me. I really miss our time together”, mom said to her in a gentle but sad tone. Both I and Ethan raised our brows in surprise and looked at each other. “You want to abandon me for her?” Ethan asked her in shock ad mom looked at him annoyingly while releasing her from her embrace. “I am just sending you to live in her place. This is not abandoning”, mom replied to him annoyingly and looked at Violet with hopeful eyes.

“I will be on Friday night, mom… after that I will leave with them for the tournament. So, I want to spend some time with you before going to the tournament”, Violet said to her and mom immediately grinned. “I will prepare your room and your favorite dishes for dinner then”, mom said to her while smiling ear to ear. “What about us?” Ethan once again asked in a hurtful tone and I also looked at mom faking a sad expression. I was jealous of Violet right now. “You two have enough of my love and care. Now you two have grown up and can take care of yourself. I want to take care of my daughter now”, I was dumbfounded by mom’s reply. Ethan also gasped in shock.

Violet giggled and then hugged mom again. “Let’s have a movie night then”, she said to her and both of them smiled widely. I was sure now that Violet knows some kind of magic that everyone started caring for her and didn’t want to leave her. “This is not fair”, Ethan complained again and pouted annoyingly while looking at them. Mom just scoffed shrugging him off and then looked at me. “Take her, Kyle”, she instructed me and I now really felt hurt. She poured all her love on her and now a stern voice for me. “Okay mom”, I said dejectedly and looked at Ethan who was also looking dejected.

“Let’s go, princess”, Ethan suddenly said to Violet and mom kissed her forehead one last time and then Ethan took her hand again. Now, this was getting on my nerves. We walked outside the living room towards the exit after bidding farewell to mom. “Are you sure that they will not do anything bad in the future?” Ethan asked her again while walking towards my car. She took a deep breath and then looked at him. She was walking between us. “I can’t predict the future, Ethan but I believe what I saw. David’s parents have taken all his credit cards from him and he is not allowed to go out of the house alone. He has to take an assigned person with him. The same stories go to all the other boys. Rein’s father… he… whipped him for almost a week on regular basis”, she told what she knew about them in a low tone.

“What?” Ethan asked her in shock and I was also startled by this revelation. “Wh.. who told you this?” he immediately asked her in a shocked tone. Whipping for a week on regular basis? This was not what I expected as punishment. “Axel came to meet me today. He showed me Rein’s back pic”, she told him in a very low voice and now I knew that she was scared. “Hey”, Ethan immediately wrapped his hand around her shoulder to comfort her. “This punishment will ruin not their future but also their lives, Ethan. I… I know that I don’t have the capability to recognize the true self of a person. So, I want you and Kyle to meet them and see if they are truly sorry or just faking it. We have three days before we will leave for the tournament. Talk to David and ask him to meet you”, she requested him and he nodded.

We stopped near my car. He removed her hands from her shoulder and cupped her face. “Don’t worry, princess…. I will do what you want. Don’t think too much. We will do what we can do for them if they are really sorry”, Ethan comforted her again and then kissed her forehead. I clenched my fists trying hard to keep my face expressionless. I walked towards the driver’s seat when I couldn’t manage to keep my face expressionless. I hopped inside the car and she also got inside and buckled herself into the passenger’s seat. I gave Ethan a curt nod and then started driving the car out of the mansion.

She took a deep breath and leaned her head on the backrest closing her eyes. She was looking exhausted and tired. But I was still annoyed by that k**s. How could she allow him to k**s her? It was not the first time that he kissed her on the forehead but this was now making me more jealous than I was already. We didn’t talk about anything during the drive. She must doze off because she didn’t open her eyes even for a second. I parked the car in the driveway and then looked at her. I sighed when I realized that she really dozed off and now was sleeping peacefully.

I got off the car and closed the door behind me. I went towards the passenger’s seat and opened the door. She was still sleeping peacefully. I unbuckled her but my eyes lingered on her slightly parted lips. I licked my lips while looking at them. They were looking so tempting right now. The k**s that I stole that night appeared in my mind and the memory of that soft touch made my heart beat furiously. I gulped hard and took a few deep breaths. I slowly slid my hands to the back of his head and under her knees. She gasped and opened her eyes immediately. “Sleep… we are home”, I commanded her and she immediately relaxed in my embrace. She wrapped her hands around my neck and snuggled into my neck making me breathe heavily now.

I closed the door by my leg and then walked towards the door. “Is she okay?” I stopped in my track when I heard Mrs Hawks’ loud voice. “Yeah… just sleepy”, I replied to her and she nodded. “Wait… let me open the door for you”, she yelled and then almost came to us running. I gave her the key which I was holding in my hand. Suddenly Violet whimpered and tightened her grip on my neck and her soft lips touch my shoulder blade making me shiver hard. “Here”, Mrs Hawk opened the door for us and then gave the key back to me. “Thanks, Mrs Hawk”, I thanked her in a soft tone with a small smile. “You’re welcome, honey…. Now go.. it’s already late”, she ushered me to go inside and then walked away.

I closed the door behind us and then walked upstairs to her room. “Kyle”, suddenly she whispered my name and my heart skipped a beat. I stopped in the middle of the stairs for a second. When she didn’t say anything again, I started walking again. She must be dreaming but what was she dreaming that she took my name? She was in deep sleep when I put her on her bed slowly. I tried to remove her grip from my neck but she whined and pulled me closer to her, making me fall down on her but I put my hands on the bed immediately to support myself. “Violet…. Violet…. Let me go”, I asked her gently. “No… No… do.. don’t go”, she immediately replied to me and tightened her grip on me.

It was clear that she was dreaming something and that was bad because she whimpered again as if someone dear to her was leaving her and she was pleading with him or her. I sighed and then lay down beside her. “Don’t go”, she whispered again in a whimper and pulled me closer to her. She made herself comfortable with my body making me smile widely. Ethan could k**s her on her forehead but he couldn’t come so close to her. I gently kissed her forehead and wrapped my hand around her torso. She still had her shoes on her feet but I couldn’t remove them because of her grip on my neck which was still tight. I guess I needed to give her some time to get relaxed and then I could try again to go away as lying down next to her was making my heart beat furiously.
