Zayn Getting an arm under his body, Zayn pushed down further, putting both legs on either side of Levi's to keep them down. It was a simple wrestling move, his groin though pressed against the back of Levi, trying to get him to flip on his back. Tommy He froze as Al yelled up at him, "Get his arms and flip him!" With sad eyes, Tommy slowly pressed down on one of Levi's hands. Rose "Thomas!" Rose practically roared, seeing the younger foster kid actually HELPING take down Levi. She was taken aback, literally and figuratively, being elbowed again in the boob. "Alright that's it," she growled and, using all of her strength, ripped passed the failing wall to get in, but started to get pulled back. She kicked at the guy who was trying to take her, right I'm the nads. He fell over and Rose tried to get to her feet to help Levi, but this time one of his friends grabbed her, holding her arms behind her back. She struggled, hair flying everywhere and tried to fight him, thrashing about. "Levi!" She cried, tears in her eyes. He was out number, it wasn't a fair fight. She glared daggers at Zayn. "Let him go you bastard!" Zayn Zayn's pelvic region was l, unintentionally, rubbing against Levi now, still trying to get him on his back and ignoring everything else while gritting his teeth. |

Levi Anderson ; ;
His body protested, feeling himself flip over; Levi struggled against the weight, looking up at everyone in the fray. Eyes widening ever so slightly, Levi began to struggle. His face turning red at the contact; remembering the feeling against his wrist as cold hands grabbed him, the bodily contact, the touching—dear god the touching. “Get off of me you motherfucker.” He hissed, kicking his feet out uselessly.
All emotions and memories were flying through him now, causing his uncomfortable struggling to increase. Arms jerking to try and remove his wrists, straining his back in an arch to try and throw Zayn off. He was smaller, yes, but Levi was determined to get him off.
Anxiety, however, was beginning to overpower as Levi’s attempts became more desperate as people watched in what might be pity, or sick pleasure to see him like this; Levi didn’t care. All his emotion was beginning to show on his face, hair falling into his widened eyes, eyebrows twitching, constantly blinking, ragged breaths. Levi had enough and put up a final effort through the physical torment by Zayn—Levi was, practically ignoring Zayn by this point and his hits—and emotional torrent.
“Jesus fucking Christ will you get the fuck OFF OF ME.” He all but shouted, startling people, looking up at Tommy. Levi never raised his voice, never did things like this, it was unusual; some people were wondering, Levi was just in pain. Feeling wave after wave hit him of anxiety, depression, stress, fear. He just wanted out, away from people, to huddle up somewhere dark and blame himself for being who he was.
He was always frightfully calm, Levi was known for that; disinterested passive look, cool grey eyes that bore holes into walls and drilled into brains, and a posture that told everyone to fuck off.
Now, head bowed, breathing heavy, he finally gave up the fight. Weakly, he wrenched his wrists from Tommy and the others, one last ditch effort to get away.

Zayn He felt the kid under him tense up, freak out. Small bits of her hair dropped into his eyes as he peered down at Levi under him, pinned, trying to get away. He looked like he was either going to cry or pass out, and that gave Zayn more satisfaction than beating him up would ever give him. Practically the whole now had seen him pussy out, and so Zayn was perfectly content with not beating the kid to a pulp. For now, anyways. So instead, Zayn moved off of him, falling to the side and throwing his head back in loud laughter. His friends all let go of him when Zayn started to laugh, including Tommy, whose skin was a pale color now, staring down at Levi with wide eyes. Zayn, between wiping the tears from his laughter, said, "Priceless!" People in the crowd also laughed uneasily with him, like it was okay to torture someone. But they didn't want to be next, so they just went along with the bully and his sick humor. Rose Rose saw it; she saw the change in his eyes, heard the pure pain in his cry. It was nothing like the Levi she knew, nothing like her Levi. Zayn had tortured him to the full extreme, hurt him somewhere deep, and Rose had known Levi too long in close quarters not to notice it.
And it infuriated her.
"GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!" she yelled at the guy holding her arms back, elbowing at his ribs with each word as hard as she could. The air was knocked out of him and he let go, all eyes coming to her as she stumbled to get to Levi, to shove Zayn away and hover over him warily. She would do whatever he needed to make him feel better, to comfort him. Whether that was hug him, grab his face in her hands, carry him out of the cafeteria; her motherly, loving, protective mode was kicked into full gear by then.
She didn't really notice the hot, angry tears on her cheeks as she wrenched her head around to look at Zayn. "I hope you rot in hell you filthy prick."
Zayn, still laughing, held up his hands in mock defeat, "Whoa there, princess. Don't get your hammy-down underwear in a wad."
Rose's jaw clenched, hands opening and closing at her sides, anger coursing through every part of her. Her heart pounded in her ears as she got up swiftly, and without thinking much about it, sent a very hard kick right into the spot between Zayn's leisurely open legs. He fell like a sack of potatoes as she kicked him in the side again, spitting out curse words and named at him until a girl she didn't know from the crowd pulled her back and Rose had to shove her away.
"Don't ever touch him again. Or I will kill you," ( Divergent quote sorta what. She'll probs be going to the principal for that one haha ) she spat and sent one more kick at the already floored Zayn before turning back to Levi, getting on her hands and knees to make him look at her. She touched his knee gently. "Levi? Are you hurt?" her voice was gentle, cheeks wet, lips trembling though her voice didn't faulter.
Out of the corner of her eye, Tommy was still frozen as more and more of the crowd started to depart, and she gave him the coldest glare she could muster. "Get out of here! You disgust me," she said bitterly. Tommy visibly fore, stumbling over his words, before shutting his mouth and quickly speed walking out of there.
Rose looked back to Levi, hands out to him in offering to help with whatever he needed.

Levi Anderson ; ;
Head still down, Levi glared at the floor; tears were watering his eyes but Levi would not let them fall. He merely stared at a speck of dirt, until Rose spoke to Tommy; looking up warily, with a broken, hurt look in his eyes. “Don’t shun him away,” Levi spoke, trying to put on that cool demeanor as he picked himself up from off the ground slowly; pain shooting through him, causing him to stumble and catch himself.
Levi held up a hand to Rose. “No. I’m fine, just a bit of acting to get them away.” He lied, but even he could hear it in his voice. Walking forward towards his table, pushing through the crowds lightly, Levi picked up his backpack.
“I’m fine, really.” He murmured, mustering a tough face. Pulling out his phone, he sent a quick message to Carolyn, along the lines of ‘Major anxiety attack. Brought up bad memories, I need to come home.’ Where he knew she would respond immediately and do such; Carolyn knew his problems and assumed much of his gaps in his story. Levi wasn’t dumb, and was grateful.
Glaring, Levi continued on as though nothing happened; though once the hallway was clear, he quickly leaned and slipped down the wall sadly. He knew Rose had followed him, Levi wasn’t stupid; she had went into motherhen mode.
But he kept silent for his sake, to keep the tears inside.

Rose Yes, Rose had followed him.
"Please," she stepped in front of him, sadness in her eyes. "Can I see your arms?" she asked, blue eyes flickering from his face to his arms, searching for an immediate damage she could help to fix. "I saw blood. Where are you bleeding?" she didn't step closer in fear that he might not have been acting like he said, and needed his space. From over his shoulder, Rose saw Tommy speeding off and she frowned, not wanting to listen to Levi's pleas of defending him. He'd just helped the biggest bully in school hurt Levi, and he wanted to forgive him that fast and easily for it? No, Rose wouldn't let Tommy get away that easy.

Sighing, Levi showed Rose the bruise forming on the wrist where it was slammed onto the floor and gripped tightly. Then the other was still pale, a bit red, but no bruises were forming where Tommy had grabbed him. “I bit my tongue, I’m fine. You need to go to class.” He reminded dully, looking away as much as possible. His phone buzzed, alerting Levi Carolyn was on her way; he knew she wouldn’t say no.
It was explaining the situation, of course, that would be hard. Levi was good at bullshitting.
“I just need to get away for a bit, okay?” Was all he said, standing up and looking towards the exit for the familiar van.

Rose Her eyes flashed over his wrist where he showed her, then at his lips where her gaze lingered a bit longer than they should have. An unfamiliar feeling tugged at her stomach when she saw those lips, as if she'd felt a certain way about them before. But of course, she didn't remember.
Head dropping, Rose stepped out of his way and nodded. "Okay," she said softly and glanced up at him through her eyelashes one more time before beginning to back away. "But don't go so anything stupid," she said it in a pleading tone, not a demanding one. Then she turned and started towards class, her fingers trembling the whole way.
Holland Holland, who had watched the whole thing, saw Levi moving to leave the school. But not before she got to him, long brown hair sweeping out around her.
"Wait, Levi," she caught his arm a bit too tightly to make sure he didn't get away. "Are you okay?" she asked, but it wasn't a concerned question, more of just something to say. And before he could answer she tilted her head and ran a finger down his arm. "Is there any way I could..." she bit her lip. "Make it all better?" her eyes flashed the same mischief as before as she got a bit closer to him. "Zayn's a jerk, I'm sorry. But...maybe I could make up for what happened last week. Since your sister kind of, well," she pursed her lips, laughing ironically. "Ruined everything. You could come over while my parents are at Bible stud...and we could...I don't know," she played with the collar of his shirt. "Hang out?"

He paused, staring at the girl, black eyebrow quirked slightly. Noticing Carolyn’s car approaching the parking lot, Levi nodded, “fine. But I have to go.” Moving past, he jogged towards her car and slammed the door. Ignoring the motherly figure’s worried stares. When he got home, Levi took a snack and walked to his room where he laid down and fell asleep. He was napping still when the others came home from school, only coming down for dinner and awaiting the text from Holland.
Zoey Palchak ; ;
Zoey sat next to Aaron and Farlan, avoiding Tommy with dark eyes. She was avoiding him, explaining what happened to the others and though Zoey wouldn’t show outward rudeness like some people; she wasn’t very happy right now with what happened.

Rose Rose sat at the dinner table, opting to just picking at her dinner like every other night. Her dark blue eyes watched Levi steadily from across the table, worriedness expressed through her gaze; but there was also a hint of anger. Why wouldn't talk to her? Tell her what had happened? He'd just shut himself in his room, and though she honestly didn't understand, she just wished she could help him. She was also extremely mad with Tommy, who had easily sat at the end of the table with his head hung in shame. And after Zoey was done, Rose planned on kicking him down in front of everyone when she told them the real story. Holland Text: You comin ovr bbe? Prnts are gone.Tommy Tommy was scared Zoey might say something in front of everyone, wringing his hands under the table. He sure as hell wasn't making eye contact with Levi and was a far away from everyone as possible while still sitting at the diner table. |

Reading the message, Levi looked over at Carolyn; “I think I’m going to go for a walk, if you don’t mind.” He said politely, pleading with the woman in his eyes as she nodded mutely. He had told her a bit of what happened, a fight, anxiety, but it wasn’t the whole story; she knew. Rinsing his plate, Levi stuffed his hands in his pockets and walked out the door.
Holland had texted her address earlier, it was only a 15 minute walk, but Levi’s long strides and determined pace made it in 9 minutes. His steel eyes set on the door knob as his fist raised and knocked on the door. It was just to feel better, like he had some control over his life.
A hand ran through his black hair, looking down at his attire. Converse, jeans, belt, sweatshirt, t-shirt, watch, Medic ID, nothing abnormal or sexy about him. Sighing, Levi waited.
Zoey Palchak ; ;
Zoey was strangely quiet the whole day, she went to her room and did homework, went outside alone and hunted frogs, read a book, just did introverted activities. Being an army girl, Zoey felt betrayed by Tommy. It was like he suddenly went onto the side of the British and didn’t want American freedom; she didn’t understand.
It confused her.
So Zoey stayed quiet.

Rose When Levi got up to leave, but waiting until after the door had closed behind him, Rose's dark gaze flashed to Tommy. "Are you going to tell everyone what really happened? Or shall I?" she snapped, tone filled with malice.
Tommy "I-I-" he clamped his mouth shut, then shuffled to get up and leaved the table. He stopped dead when Rose slammed her hand down, shaking the food. "Sit your ass down Thomas!" Rose demanded in a very scary voice. At least it terrified Tommy.
Swallowing, he sat back down, face ashen.
Rose "You're staying quiet? Not surprising," she gritted her teeth, then looked at Carolyn. "So I guess I'll tell everyone;" she scanned over everyone at the table and said it bluntly. "Tommy helped today. He helped the bullies." She sent a glare back to Tommy, rosy cheeks red. Holland When she heard the knock, she put down the two glasses of vodka and soda she'd just poured, and slipped to the front door, opening it with a sly smile. "Hi," she bit her lip and stepped forward, grabbing his hand to pull him inside. "Drink?" she offered as she walked to the center island, sipping her own and leaning against it so that her butt popped out. But it was just natural slutty stance to her.

Shaking his head, Levi waved his hand. “I don’t drink alcohol, sorry.” He said with finality, he really didn’t drink and really wasn’t going to. Instead he just walked to the garbage can and spat his mint gum; looking Holland over, leaning his back on the counter next to her. His grey eyes dulled and bored, and tired of all shit.
Palchak Clan ; ;
Zoey bowed her head in confirmation as Carolyn quirked an eyebrow. “Mei, Farlan, Annie, I think it’s time for bed.” Were Carolyn’s words as she looked at Joseph quietly with a nod. He knew bits of Levi’s story, not much; just enough to know how to have acted when the young man first came five years ago. Finally she looked at Jane, Rose, Harry, Aaron, Zoey, and Tommy quietly.
“Explain.” Was Carolyn’s stern voice, eyes glancing at everyone. “Levi was not…enlightening to what happened.”

Rose Rose spoke before Tommy could. "Zayn, a senior dick face got mad at Levi. I don't know why, but they started to fight. And at first I couldn't get to them because the crowd was so big. But when I broke free some jackass held me back," he mouth was on full speed, not caring for cussing now that the littles were gone. "And it was clear Levi wasn't wanting to fight, he was just defending himself. And Zayn used a move on him, while Levi was on his back. It kind of looked like a cheap wrestling move," she told them, shaking with anger as she told Carolyn. "A-And something snapped. I don't know what, but Levi...he panicked. I've never seen him so scared or desperate." Holland "Alright..." she looked around, then tilted her head, swigging back the rest of her drink before dumping his in the sink and moving back to him, stepping closer slower each time until they were close in proximity. She played with his collar like earlier, flicking her eyelashes at him. "How about...we do something else. Like... this," she smiled, leaning forward to kiss him rather roughly.

Levi Anderson ; ; His head tilted forward as their lips pressed together, he was being an ass and not letting the girl entry to his mouth, one hand gripping the counter, the other moving around to the small of Holland’s back. The back of his throat rumbled, “shit you’re such a slut.” He clucked, some admiration dripping into his voice as the rest was blunt; but when Holland continued on, he quickly melted into the kiss with his own hunger.
Palchak Clan ; ;
A sigh escaped the woman’s lips as she looked down, “Levi had…a rather tough life. Much of it’s details he doesn’t talk about, only he was a teen pregnancy child given up at birth, in the system until he was four where he was adopted. From there, his life became rocky ground that brought him to this point.” Carolyn started, looking at Rose.
“What did Tommy do?” She changed the subject briefly, hoping no one would urge her to continue. |

Rose Rose raised an eyebrow. "Wait, what happened Carolyn?" she asked softly, eyes worriedly looking to Levi's now empty chair. She noticed everyone else at the table seemed to want to know more.
Holland Smiling into his lips, Holland used his shoulders to pull him closer to her as their kiss deepened. A small moan was in the back of her throat as she moved to let him press her into the counter. "It's my speciality," she joked and used his allowed entry to her advantage, fingers curling up into the nape of his neck and pulling at the hair there.
