Mind and Music

I’m headed home after school when a group of girls pins me to the wall of a nearby building. They jeer and jive at me as they start beating me. 


“Jacob deserves so much better than a little slut like you,” One girl comments as she lands a punch to my already bruised ribs. More hits more comments. 


“She probably figured out how to cast a spell on him, pathetic little bitch.” Punch after punch, slaps, kicks, cuts form over swollen bruises. After a while, I almost pass out and I’m sure they leave. The last thing I think before I fall unconscious, Help me Jacob… then all goes dark. 


I wake up in a hospital bed. The room is bright and I hear a soft sobbing. I look over and see Jacob hunched over the bed crying. I reach over and put my hand on his shoulder. He jumps and looks at me, he smiles hugging me as gently as possible.
