Run-Away Little Sister: Hurting

Chapter Sixteen: Believe

ANASTASIA'S POV:

Believe.

A feeling sure of the truth.

Slowly coming to consciousness I realize that I'm laying on somebody's body, my head leaned against their chest. Barely opening my eyes, I look around the room. It's the principle's office.

Dane and his parents were sat on one side of the room, while who looked to be James, Matthew, Jackson, Mason, and Nathan were standing on my side of the room near me. Trying to figure out who I was laying on, I turned my body slightly, and seen the familiar face of Wyatt Daniels, the boy who's been by my side as my brother since the beginning.

"W-Wyatt?" my voice cracked.

"Hey Ana." he smiled down at me.

"Good you're up, Miss Wolp, or should I say Miss Smith?" Principle Perkins spoke sarcastically.

"Hi Mr. Perkins." I smiled, as I moved to sit up in Wyatt's lap, "It's good to see you again, and it's Anastasia Wolp, I was legally adopted and changed my last name."

"You were legally adopted, then where are your parents?" he asked.

"They sadly passed away a few months ago, and I was able to get emancipated along with my adoptive cousins." I told him.

"Well, I apologize Matthew here, told us to call James and get him down here as you are still a minor."

I forced a laugh out, "Well, I can assure you that's not the case. If you'd like I can get the paperwork that states I'm legally responsible of my own self?"

"No, that's quite alright. Would you like for me to remove your brothers from the room?" the principle asked.

I shook my head, "No, let them stay."

"Maybe then they'll find out the actual truth of what happened." Wyatt whispered in my ear.

"Okay, then." Principle Perkins clapped his hands, "Everybody sit down and we'll get this meeting started."

Everybody sat down, as I stayed on Wyatt's lap.

"I don't see why we're debating this." Dane's father spoke, "It's clear that this b***h attacked my son. Punish her."

I scoffed before speaking, "For the record, your son attacked me first. I defended myself."

"My son wouldn't hurt anybody." Dane's mother whispered quietly.

And suddenly Dane's father turned his glare onto her, "Shut up, you stupid whore."

"Let's stop the name calling, Mr. Marrow, or I'll have to ask you to leave." Perkins spoke loudly.

Dane's father rolled his eyes at the principle, "Let's just get on with this."

"Very well. I don't know what happened this morning, but we do have security camera's with vocal audio, so we'll play that, and go from there. Depending on the circumstances, that will determine who gets in trouble."

"Uh-do we really have to play that?" Dane asked, his body tensing up.

"Yes, we do." Principle Perkins spoke, glancing at Dane's face, before his attention went back to the computer.

Watching the video, watching me beat Dane into the ground, gave me a sense of pride. I looked around at everybody's faces, and the expressions I seen were enough to keep a small smile planted on my face.

Dane looked embarrassed, Dane's father looked angry, Dane's mother look heart-broken. Principle Perkins looked deeply disturbed. My biological brothers, James looked shocked, Jackson and Mason both looked upset and angry with their glares pointed on Dane, Nathan looked shocked, yet proud. Wyatt looked happy and proud.

I couldn't believe the damages I had done to Dane's face and body. When I blacked out, when I got angry, I refused to give in.

I had enough of Dane pushing his weight around.

It was time Dane got put in his place.

And I did just that.

"This proves nothing." Dane's father shouted after the video was finished, "We don't even know what they were actually talking about in the parking lot. It could have been anything."

"Room two-forty-seven." I spoke, the attention going on me, "What we were talking about this morning, happened on Monday, March 12th, 2012 in classroom two-forty-seven."

I felt Wyatt squeezed my waist in an attempt to keep me calm. Everybody's eyes were on me, and this was it. It was my time to get justice for what had happened to me.

"Principle Perkins, do you remember when you had assigned Dane to help me get ready for my history test. He needed extra credit, and I needed help in history because I was late to class?"

"Yes I do." Principle Perkins nodded, "And then the next day and every day after that you didn't show up again."

"That's correct." I sighed sadly, "That day, which there is video proof of on the security cameras, Dane tried r****g me. I took the rest of the day off, and when I got home my brothers found out, and decided to not believe me. I left, knowing that there was a chance Dane could actually go through with what he wanted."

"This is a serious accusation, Miss Wolp. Are you sure?"

"I'm positive, check the security cameras." I told him.

And Principle Perkins did.

He played the video, I zoned out, not wanting to relieve that horrendous day. Wyatt's arms tightened across my waist even more than they already were. Dane and his father both looked proud of his actions, until the younger versions of ourselves got into a fight and I won.

Then Dane's father looked angry, and Dane looked ashamed. Dane's mother looked heart-broken and sad again. My biological brothers looked disgusted, disturbed, and angry at the video on the screen. Matthew and Nathan both looked like they were going to cry, with the tears that were forming in their eyes.

"With all the evidence shown today, Miss Wolp gets the deciding factor." Principle Perkins informed everybody.

"I want to press charges against Dane Marrow." I told him.

"Alright, the police will be called then. We have the younger Mr. Marrow on camera completing his acts of terror, so you all may leave, but Dane it is probably in your best interests to not leave town and cooperate with the authorities as the case is being investigated."

Dane only scoffed and looked away from everybody's prying eyes.

"Miss Wolp, it is in my sincerest regrets that I am only just finding out about this now, had I have known before we would have addressed this horrendous crime that had occurred much sooner. I know I can speak on behalf of not only myself, but the entire school staff and school board as well. If you ever need anything else or another issue arises, please do not hesitate in letting us know what we can do to help."

"Thank you." I smiled at the older man before me, "I appreciate it."

"If you'll excuse us, Anastasia and I have a full schedule to complete today, we're very busy people." Wyatt spoke from behind me, as he gently tapped my waist as I sign for me to get up.

"Of course, Mr. Daniels, Miss Wolp. You and your friends are very successful for being so young, it is an absolute honor to have you all studying here."

"How could that b***h be successful? She probably spread her legs to get wherever she is." Dane's father shouted.

Everyone in the room was shocked by his words, but I only laughed. Their attention turned to me.

"I was adopted into the Wolp family, my parents were Miles and Alexandria Wolp."

"The multi-millionaires?" Dane's father questioned.

"Yeah, you're thinking of the right family." I told him, "And when they died a few months back at the beginning of the year, I took over their companies, making me a multi-millionaire. So instead of running your mouth and making yourself seem stupid, get your facts in order first. Is that clear, you disrespectful piece of s**t?"

"Y-yes, Ma'am." he whimpered.

"Good, I'm glad we're on the same page." I spoke as I stood up before motioning towards the door as I spoke my second sentence, "Wyatt let's go."

"Gladly."

I stopped at the doorframe of the room, Wyatt standing next to me, and then I looked behind my back, "Did you finally believe me?"

And my brothers were left in shock as I walked away.
