I couldn’t see what was going on with Aiden but I heard a loud thud against the wall. I heard a groan coming from Aiden as he fell past the door and was kneed by my brother in the stomach. He fell on his side and my brother pushed him on his back.

He bent down to keep Aiden still and his fist continued to beat against Aiden’s face. I looked on and inwardly cheered as my brother did what I had wanted to do at prom the minute I found out what Aiden was up to.

“GLEN!” I heard my father yell from the side and heard his footsteps rushing down the hallway. I watched as he pulled Glen off of Aiden and held onto him.

“Dad! Let me kill those bastards…those bastards that killed Clay…I need to kill them…” Glen broke out of my dad’s hold and tried to go after Aiden once more. My father was too quick and again brought him into a tight hold. My brother’s eyes began to water and the tears were falling off of his face. “Those bastards…” He said one more time sobbing.

“Glen…its ok…its ok…” My father kept saying to Glen trying to get through to him. I saw him look at Aiden and he shook his head slightly. “Aiden…why don’t you go get checked out…”

I watched as Aiden spit onto the ground leaving a large glob of red on the floor. He wrapped his arm over his stomach and limped away down the hallway. I couldn’t help but smile as he walked away defeated.

I reached out and touched Ashley’s arm and she jumped. She turned around and reached out to keep me standing. I let her lead me over to my father and brother and I looked up quickly to see Aiden at the end of the hallway looking back at us with cold eyes. I smiled at him and he scowled back.

I returned my attention back to my family and reached out for Glen. He tensed under my touch but quickly soothed his muscles as he turned and buried his head in my body. He wrapped his arms around my waist and began to cry uncontrollably.
