;? Chapter 9

"Hey uhm..Ashlyn?" Taylor tapped Ashlyn's shoulder, currently they were walking on the hallway to head to the cafeteria.

"Yeah?" Ashlyn questioned, Taylor hesitated.

"What happened to M/n..back there.." Taylor asked hesitantly, Ashlyn stopped walking before sighing.

"M/n's usually protective over his friends, to the point he can't stand seeing them get bullied or talked bad in any way. And although that's part of that reason, there's something more about it..he actually used to be friends with Barron." Ashlyn answered, everyone was shock about the new information that M/n used to be friends with Barron.

"They were very close, that is until Barron started bullying people. At M/n tolerated it and often apologized for Barron's behavior. Until it started to become physical, M/n decided to step in and started to prevent him from doing it. They soon started to stop being friends, M/n was too busy with studies so the bullying was much more frequent." Ashlyn continued, everyone seemed so interested in the story "One day Barron bullied someone enough..enough to where it spiraled them to do something to their own life.."

Taylor gasped in horror "That student is still alive, M/n managed to stop them from doing before it was too late. M/n reported him and got him suspended for weeks. Ever since then M/n became extremely protected with his friends, since the person who got bullied was his friend too. That's why he acted like that in the hallway, because of his overprotectiveness and because he got reminded of what happened in the past."

"He didn't want it to happen again, behind his rage is his scared self, afraid to lose anyone. He was scared for your well being Logan." Ashlyn looked at him "So don't be scared of M/n, he was just worried about you, he'd never hurt anyone like that like he did to Barron. That goes for all of you, don't look at him differently after what happened. He's still the M/n we all know, you just saw a different part of him."

Everyone stayed silent before Taylor sighed "Thanks for Ashlyn, it's true that I was kind of scared to approach him now but I wanna thank you for explaining his actions. Now I finally understand why he did that.."

"As much as I hate to admit it, I agree with tay. That bastard looked scary when he's angry, remind me not to anger him." Tyler said

"Yeah, I have to thank him for stepping up for me before.." Logan smiled

"I'm sure M/n will forgive you and understands why you guys were scared of him after what happened, heck, he's even scared of himself.." Ashlyn muttered

"Hey guys sorry we're late!" Aiden and Ben finally showed up, Ashlyn scowled.

"Where the fuck did you two go?" Ashlyn asked

"Somewhere anyways where's M/n?" Aiden asked looking around

"He got detention but he's supposed to be here-" Ashlyn got cut off when M/n finally arrived apologize for being late

"Sorry I'm late, what did I miss?" M/n asked, everyone seemed to look away from him, he sighed in shame "I know, I'm sorry for how I acted out there. I know it's not a reasonable nor do I have any excuses but I swear I won't do it again, don't leave me please-"

He panicked before Tyler shut him up "Shut up, we already know why. Ashlyn explained.."

M/n looked at Ashlyn who was still looking away "Then?.."

"We don't see you any differently M/n, now that Ashlyn finally explained. We won't leave you." Logan stated Taylor nodded

"Actually we're sorry for not being open minded about what happened, we should have thought of how you felt just now.." Taylor apologized, M/n smiled relieved that none of them was gonna leave him because of what happened
