I yelped as Andrew took hold of my neck and pulled me into an empty class room. Closing the door behind us he chuckled darkly, my eyes already burnt feeling them start swelling up with tears. I scooted backwards from the closed door shaking my head.

Andrew stepped forwards and pulled out a lead pipe from his duffle bag. "Look what I got Eisenberg. Just for you. I brought it just for you." He spat at me and I flinched feeling it hit my face. Quickly and timidly I moved to brush it off as Andrew slammed the pipe on the table. "Unless!" He leaned in close to me. "You… pay the amount owed to me." My eyes grew wide, I forgot my wallet at home and Zorn would surely catch on sooner or later.

Andrew was known for constantly changing the amount. I didn't move quick enough for Andrew's liking. The male had dropped the pipe and used his fist instead to knock me to the side. My body flew like a rag doll's landing over onto my right side. I only laid there and spit out blood, head pounding if I moved it any so much. "You see Eisenberg, you're spoiled. You had the chance to be friends with us. But you spit on our faces. I don't like that. No one, NO ONE makes a fool of me. So.." As Andrew chuckled darkly  he pulled up the pipe once more and slammed it close to my head. Only inches away from my face. "O-okay!!" I yelped my voice cracked and I coughed through tears. "I…I'll pay you!! P-puh-please…"  Reaching out to grab my bag that had been knocked askew I winced feeling Andrew's foot slam down on my hand.

"Oh no. You don't get off that easy. Period. You've dicked me around long enough."

Almost like on cue the door swung open. Kwan, Dash and Chip, Andrew's lackeys flowed into the room, one with a black sheet looked to come from the AV room. My eyes grew wide as the small rabbit moved to flee the scene. But running with a black sheet pulled over you is hard. Trying to fight and kick from the sheet didn't do much of anything. I couldn't tell who was dragging me from the class, everyone was chuckling. I nearly tripped being drug, I did trip shortly after regaining my balance the first time, smacking my forehead on the tile floor. We all stopped and my back was shoved, with the sheet wrapped around my body I wasn't able to reach out and grab a hand rail. I wasn't able to reach out and support myself.

Gravity took me down.

Hitting the steps and bouncing down them I looked like a water worm bouncing under the sheet. The most I could have done was block my face and protect it until I hit the bottom. Once  I landed on the carpet my breathing was hard to  slow down. Andrew called down. "Be sure to return that sheet to the AV department Eisenberg!"

Coughing trying to force air into my lungs I scrambled out of the sheet with in a few minutes of trying, still too light headed to stand up.  My arms were sore along with the rest of me, I didn't bother carrying the sheet back up, I left it there. Franticly trying to search for where my attackers would strike next. They were gone. How long had I been laying there? Slowly, oh so slowly I limped up the steps I was sent down, tasting blood in my mouth my lip was split and sure enough I chipped a tooth. My head felt like it weighed ten pounds or more and my legs didn't feel like they were mine.

It took me ten  minutes to locate the classroom Andrew and I first went in. My bag . . . Was empty. Phone gone, again. Text books were…in the sink, sitting under soapy water and I knew thankfully my wallet was at home but maybe it shouldn't have been. I sniffled taking a shuddered breath in, and kicked the yellow back pack turning heal and bolting from the room. If Mr. Lancer saw me, I'm sure he would have suggested I be recruited for track. He yelled after me, something along the lines of ditching but I didn't hear him. I couldn't hear him. Eyes blurred by tears and head filling up with cotton. Andrew was going to hunt me down until I died, then he'd get all the money he wanted. I wish my neck had snapped!  He's never going to stop!

I wasn't sure how long I was running but jacketless I found myself at the bus stop. I stood there, the large blue bus pulled up and wheezed as it stopped.  I almost got on, it would have taken me down town but I didn't deserve to be in the warm bus. I didn't deserve to sit and relax. Not me… I turned and walked past the bus keeping my gaze on the ground, two months into the school year and it's  been like that for half the time. Or worse, today, was one of Andrew's more nicer days.  Turning right on Arapahoe road I went into the first store I could find. It was a Home Depot, my heart skipped a beat and on autopilot I moved towards the subject of choice.

If Andrew was never going to stop. . .

Then I would stop.

I wouldn't be here…

Now.

Wouldn't that be luscious?

My lids were heavy and I wanted to curl up and sleep.

I wanted to sleep forever, then I'd have nothing to worry about. Then Zorn wouldn't have anything to worry about, he'd never find out about what happened at school and it'd never distract him from his job and he could devote his full attention to Ubel. The kid was smart after all and a prodigy in the works, and me? Well. I don't know what good I am. I'm clearly not good at much of anything. Obviously.  I picked the cheapest box cutter off the shelf and held it in my fingers. Smiling at it, everything seemed brighter. I had found a solution.

I had. . .

Found a way out.
SO SHORT CHAPTERS.

I don't care if I have like. 112 parts. Then w/e
