Megan's POV

It's my first day back at school today since the incident and I'm not going to lie, I'm terrified. I don't want to go back and everything to be the same, I just want to have a peaceful school life with my boyfriend and bestfriends. It feels to weird to call Finn my boyfriend because he's been my bestfriend for years but I like it, it feels right. I don't want to bump into Jason or any of him friends because they'll just hassle me and I can't take that. I don't know why people feel the need to bully other people, is it because they're so bored of their own lives that they need to make someone else's miserable? I don't see any other reason for it unless they're horrible human being which they are.

"Wake up sweetie!" I heard as someone shook my shoulders slightly. I slowly opened my eyes to see my mum looking above me with a smile, "it's time to get ready for school!" She said. I groaned loudly and pulled the covers over my head, maybe if I close my eyes she'll go away? Nope. She pulled the cover off me which earned a groan from me.

"Why can't I stay in bed?!" I asked tiredly.

"Because you have to go to school sooner or later!" She said. I knew she was right but I really didn't want to face everyone today. I've been completely fine just spending time with the guys and my family, this will ruin everything.

"I don't want to face everyone mum!" I admitted. I haven't told her how I really feel, I've been telling her how happy I am to go because I don't want her to worry but I'm terrified. She gave me a sad look and sat beside me.

"Oh sweetie! Everything will be okay, you have Finn, Matt and Jake looking out for you and your father has contacted the school and they'll handle it if anything happens, I promise you'll be fine!" She explained with a warm smile. I gave her a slight nod and she stood up, "now, get ready or you'll be late!" She added. She kissed my forehead and then left the room.
I sighed as I got up off my bed. I stretched my stiff body and began to get ready for my day. I walked over to my dressing table and sat in front of it. Am I ready for this? What if something bad happens and it takes me back to square one again? I shook my head to get rid of the negative thoughts, today will be fine, I need to stop worrying. I did my make like I usually do for school, mascara and foundation, then straightened my hair till it was dead straight, this is the first time in months that I've actually cared about my appearance. I then walked over to my wardrobe and picked out an outfit. After a while of searching I finally decided to wear Finns top that he left at my house because I feel safe when I wear it and matched it with a pair of skinny jeans, simple. Once I was dressed and ready, I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed, I wasn't looking forward to today.
I walked downstairs and greeted my family with a tired smile, I was too tired to say anything.

"How are you this morning sweetie?" My dad asked as I sat next to him.

"Tired" I yawned. He chuckled and wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

"Just don't fall asleep in class" He said.

"No promises" I replied and he laughed. Then the door bell rang and my face lit up, Finns here. I stood up and ran over to the front door. I opened the door and to my surprise all three of them were standing in the doorway, Matt, Jake and Finn. I gave them a confused look and they laughed.

"Those two wanted to walk to school with us today because it's your first day back!" Finn explained. I nodded in understanding and smiled, these boys are so good to me. I shouted a bye to my family then slammed the front door. We all the walked to school together.

"So how you feeling?" Jake asked. I sighed loudly.

"I'm nervous as hell" I stated. Finn wrapped an arm around my waist and kissed the top of my head.

"You'll be fine, you have us now!" He said and I relaxed into his arms.

"I know, I just don't want anything to happen" I sighed.

"Meg, we won't let anything happen to you, we promise!" Jake said reassuring me. I nodded my head with a smile.

"I love you guys" I smiled and they all smiled back.

"By the way, nice top choice" Finn whispered into my ear. I just smirked at him.

Once the school came to view I immediately reached out and grabbed Finns hand tightly, intwining our fingers. He looked down at our hands then back at me.

"You okay there?" He asked chuckling slightly. I nodded furiously and let out a shaky breath.

"I'm fine" I said and carried on walking in silence as the guys got into conversation, I don't know what about because I wasn't really concentrating, I was thinking too much about how today will turn out to be like. Today will be fine, I need to stop over thinking things. I have the guys by my side this time, I have Finn who will protects me, I have nothing to worry about, so why do I have a bad feeling about all of this?

"We're here" Finn snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked around and noticed that we'd arrived at the school gates. I then noticed everyone looking at me, a few girls whispering to each other while looking straight at me, do they know about what happened? I suddenly felt really self conscious.

"Finn?" I said. He looked at me with a curious look.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Does everyone, you know.. know about what happened?" I asked nervously as I felt all eyes on me. Finn sighed loudly.

"There may have been rumours about you" He said wearily, "but just ignore it, okay?" He said sternly. Great, now I'll be known as the suicidal freak for the rest of my high school life. I resistantly nodded my head and then we all stopped at our usual spot. Finn wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into his chest. I smiled as I felt the safest in his arms.

"You two are so cute, it makes me sick" Matt said which caused us to laugh, "but I'm happy for you two" He added and that made me genuinely smile but make me go shy. I hid my face into Finns chest and he laughed. After while the bell finally rang and it was time for class. I had science with Jake which meant I wasn't going to have Finn around to protect me. Chill out Megan, you have Jake and he'll look after you. I mentally sighed and agreed with my mind, I'll be fine because I have Jake, Finns not the only one who'll protect me.

"I'll see you later okay?" Finn said look down at me. I nodded nervously and he leaned down and kissed me softly, instantly relaxing me. I was pulled away by someone pulling me by my top.

"Come on Meg, you'll see lover boy later" Jake said and I sighed. I quickly went back over to Finn, gave him another quick kiss which caused him to grin then walked away with Jake. Everyone stared at me while me and Jake walked through school and I hated it, why could people just leave me alone? I sighed to myself and Jake furrowed his eyebrows at me.

"What's up shorty?" He asked looking concerned.

"I just want people to stop staring at me, it's making me feel uncomfortable and self conscious" I admitted. He sighed and wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

"They won't but you just need to ignore it, they'll stop eventually" He said. I nodded in understanding then we arrived at class.

~~~

Science went by quite quickly. It seemed that everyone, including the teachers knew about what I did because my science teacher was acting way too nice towards me and kept giving me sympathetic looks, why can't people just treat me normally? I sighed in frustration. Me and Jake just got on with our work like normal and I felt strangely comfortable. No one said anything to me except stare, as much as I hated it, I preferred the stares than someone shouting mean things at me.

Now it's time for gym with Finn, Jason and his friends are in that lesson and my nerves are growing. Out of everyone at school, I know he'll be the one to comment something. I walked into the changing rooms and everyone looked at me, I sighed to myself and remembered what everyone said to me, just ignore it. I put my stuff down and got changed in silence while all the girls made random conversation between themselves. No one said anything to me while I got changed which I was grateful for and then I walked out once I was done.

I walked over to Finn quickly and hugged him instantly.

"Woah, you okay?" He asked sounding concerned. I nodded my head.

"Just missed you tis all" I replied cuddling closer to his chest. His chest vibrated slightly which meant he laughed. I pulled away and he leaned down and kissed me.

"Oh hey look guys, it's the suicidal freak and her boyfriend" I heard someone say. I pulled away and saw Jason looking at us, smirking. I felt Finns grip tighten around me.

"Please just leave me alone!" I pleaded quietly as I caught the attention of everyone else. I didn't need this right now.

"Oh no, this is fun, come on tell us, how did it feel nearly dying?" He asked with a sickly laugh. My eyes widened, how could someone be so cruel, but that's when Finn snapped.

"Will you just fuck off?! Why do you like to pick on people? Does it make you feel better because your life is so boring and it give something to do? Why don't you just do everyone a favour and fuck off!" He shouted angrily. Out of the whole time I've known Finn, I've never seen him this angry, it kinda scared me. Jason looked shocked at Finn sudden outburst.

"Do you know who you're taking to buddy?" Jason asked walking closer to us. I cowered away behind Fin as he protected me from Jason.

"Yeah! Just a bully that has nothing better to do with his life, no one likes you, you only have friends because they're either just as horrible as you or they're too scared to confront you!" Finn replied with a growl. Jason walked even closer and came face to face with Finn. I was scared what would happen so I tried to pull Finn away before something bad happened.

"Come on Finn, just leave it!" I said desperately.

"Yeah, listen to your girlfriend and leave like a coward you are!" Jason said and that made Finn crack. Finns fist came in contact with Jasons jaw and threw Jason on the floor.

"Finn!" I shrieked shocked as Jason attacked him once he was up on his feet again. They were fighting pretty badly. I tried to pull Finn away but I was too weak. Then Jason's friends pulled Jason away and his face was all bruised, but so was Finn when I looked at him. I ran over to him and checked his face.

"Why did you hit him?" I asked as I saw the bruise appearing underneath his eye, he winced in pain.

"I couldn't take him talking about you like that, I just snapped" He said still looking pretty worked up.

"Just calm down, okay?" I said, "I'll take you to the nurse" I added. He nodded and we then left.

~~~

After school the guys came back to my house because it's been a while since we've all spent time together after school.

"So you just hit him?" Jake asked. Finn sighed with a nod.

"Yes" He answered. They couldn't believe what Finn had done, it was completely unlike him but it also made me smile because he did it to protect me, I was kind of thankful for that.
We arrived at my house and was greeted by my mother.

"Hel- Finn what happened to you?!" My mum shrieked once she saw Finns face.

"Mum it was just an accident" I replied for him.

"Looks more like you've been in a fight!" She said not believing me.

"Yes I was in a fight" He sighed and my mum looked shocked.

"That's so unlike you" She said.

"Yeah well, Jason was talking about Megan and it got me mad" He explained. My mum looked at me and then back at Finn.

"You did it because of Megan?" She asked with a raised eyebrow and he nodded, "well, just go upstairs and make yourselves comfy boys, I just need Megan to help me with something" She explained. They guys walked upstairs and I raised an eyebrow at her and she dragged me into the kitchen.

"What do you want?" I asked confused.

"He's a keeper" She smirked.

"What?!" I asked.

"Sweetie, he got into a fight for you, he defiantly special" She smiled. That made a smile creep up on my face.

"Really?" I smiled. She nodded with a knowing look.

"Defiantly" She smiled. Maybe she's right, Finn could be a keeper.
