Chapter 172: Past memories-2
*BAAAM*
” Aaaaaaaaaaah sob sob my n-nose ughhh ”
All of them were stunned, as the book hit the nose of one of them, he fell back holding his nose and began to cry loudly as blood flowed out of his nose.
” Uwaaaaaaah cough cough i-it hurts sob ”
Then, Jayden stepped towards the second and with all his strength kicked him in between legs. And immediately the second kid was down, he held his crotch and rolled on the ground while crying in pain.
Jayden’s path to escape was now clear, instead, he turned around and threw the book towards the face of one of the Fin’s friends.
He was caught off guard and couldn’t move his hand in time, and the book hit his head. It hit a bit too hard, even his tongue was cut in half.
” Uuuuub cough cough aaaaah Yy twung hurcs ” (My tongue hurts)
His mouth was instantly filled with blood, but Jayden didn’t wait to see the result of his action. He took out a pencil from his pocket and stepped towards the other kid and then stabbed his leg.
*STAB*
” Noooooo ughhhhhhhh sob uwaaaaah ”
By now Fin came back to his senses, he finally made a move he rushed towards Jayden and punched his face hard.
*BAM*
He was three years older than Jayden, as the punch landed on his cheek Jayden fell back. Fin took advantage of the situation, he sat on Jayden’s chest and began to punch him again and again.
*BAM* *BAM* *BAM*
Jayden placed his hands in front of his face, Fin was stronger than him. After getting hit for a few seconds, Jayden removes his hand and lets the punch connect to his face.
Instead, he pushed his finger into Fin’s eye and scratched it with his nail.
” Aaaaaaaaaaah ”
Fin screamed holding his eye as the punches finally stopped, Jayden pushed him back and then picked the thick book from the ground. With a menacing smile, he walked towards Fin who was too busy crying.
*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM*
Jayden kept hitting him until his head began to bleed, then throwing the book away he stood up.
As the adrenaline rush finally ended, exhaustion and pain finally hit him. Jayden stumbled and fell to the ground.
His eyes slowly began to close, but before he fell unconscious he saw a familiar face some distance away looking at him with infatuation.
Then his eyes closed and he fell unconscious in between the group of bleeding and crying kids.
…
The entire thing took less than a minute, hearing all the screams the teacher came running. Just as she saw the scene, she screamed in shock, the entire place was covered in blood, and six children were lying there with various wounds, crying in agony.
Soon all the teachers and caretakers came running there and ambulances were called.
No one in the orphanage had ever seen something like that, still, they didn’t take any immediate action and first waited for all the children to get treated.
******
Jayden slowly opened his eyes, his face was hurting slightly, he looked at the ceiling and saw that he was in his own bed.
Children below ten slept in the same room but had their own beds, girls and boy’s rooms were separate. There were some bandages on his face, pushing the bed with his hands, he slowly sat up.
” Is your face still hurting? ”
A familiar voice from the side startled Jayden, he looked and saw that Sydney was sitting at the corner of his bed.
” How long have you been here? ” he asked.
” You’ve been asleep for 12 hours straight, is your face still hurting? ” she asked again.
” No, it’s fine now. ” Jayden replied.
” When I was in the library, I felt as if I saw you there. Maybe I was just hallucinating. ” Jayden muttered.
” Obviously it’s fine for a husband to sometimes imagine his lovely wife. ” Sydney said, shyly.
” No, it isn’t. And what happened to the others? ” Jayden had long gotten used to her joking, so he didn’t even correct her anymore.
Anyway, it was not like he hated hearing that, no straight boy would, under normal circumstances that is.
” They are still in the hospital, Fin’s face and head were badly injured, one cut off his tongue, one had his nose broken, one had a problem in walking due to pain in his that area and the last one got stitches in his leg. That’s all. ” Sydney replies.
*GULP*
While doing it Jayden didn’t think too much about it and just wanted to protect himself, but now that he thinks about it, he feels that he went a little overboard.
” Did they say anything about me? ” Jayden asked after a few minutes.
” No, they wanted to get you all treated first,” she said.
Jayden stood up and walked out of the room, with Sydney following behind him. For some reason, Jayden felt she became a bit more intimate with him after that incident.
After all the kids came back from the hospital, a meeting was called by the facilities of the orphanage.
At first, all the kids put all the blame on Jayden, but the one who asked Jayden to go to the library confessed everything, for some reason he looked a bit afraid of someone.
Since the five of them were the ones who started it first, Jayden wasn’t punished too badly, and all of them were given small punishments. The class of Jayden was changed, after which Sydney changed her class too.
” Why did you change your class? You aren’t the one getting punished? ” Jayden asked, sitting in a different class, but on the same bench as Sydney.
” How could I be separated from my husband, we’re going to be together forever,” she replied, with a big smile.
Jayden didn’t know what to say in response, so he just treated it as a joke and began to draw what the teacher had told them to.
…
A few more months passed like that, and by now Jayden spent most of his time with Sydney. With each passing day, she looked more and more pretty.
The boys in the orphanage who had just learned the definition of love, all had crushes on her. They were all jealous of Jayden, but no one dared to make a move against him, after what happened previously.
” Let’s go outside, Jay, it’ll be really fun. ” Sydney said.
” The last time you asked to do something daring like that, we were caught, they even took away all my books. ” Jayden refused.
” Oh, how could my husband be a scaredy cat, I’d be too ashamed to even tell someone that you are my husband if you act like that. ” Sydney said, nudging his arm.
” Then just pretend like you don’t know me. ” Jayden replied without taking his face away from his book.
” I can’t do that, let’s gooooo~ pretty please, ” she said, but Jayden didn’t react, with a pout she yelled: ” O GREAT HUSBAND OF MINE, PLEASE HEED TO MY REQUEST AND GO OU- mmmm ”
Jayden reacted immediately and placed a hand on her lips, with a sigh he said: ” Fine, I’ll go with you. ”
” Haha you’re the best, Jay,” she replied clapping her hand and giving Jayden a hug.
