Irida sighed after finally getting a reaction from Ian
"I've been calling you for a while now, what were thinking about that made you so lost and engrossed that you didn't even hear us call you for so long?" Irida asked curiously
"Oh it's nothing" Ian said as he gave the girls a smile "are you girls done with class?" Ian asked
"Yeah we are" Elini replied "let's get you home. Aunty is gonna nag and worry so much when she sees you all battered and bruised"
"Jake and his gang should forget having a good life" Irida said coldly
"Peach don't be impulsive" Ian said "it was partly my fault to begin with" Ian sighed. He really didn't want Irida embroiled in such an issue
Irida and Elini stood by both Ian's sides and helped him walked
"If I hadn't been so worried about the both of you, I wouldn't have told Jake to help me keep an eye on you guys for me. I thought that since he liked Irida he'd be more inclined to protect you girls the way I do. It's all my fault, I'm sorry for causing you troubles peach, Elini I'm sorry you also had to deal with his endless pursuits towards Irida" Ian apologized
"It wasn't your fault" Elini comforted
"I don't blame you. You did it to protect us " Irida said
"I don't want you getting involved in this mess peach. I caused it so I'll handle it myself" Ian said.
They soon got to Elini's car, Elini and Irida gently helped Ian into the backseat then they both say down in the front seat and drove off
.......
"Oh my God, what happened to my poor baby?" Lily asked when Irida and Elini helped Ian to his house.
Lily was so shocked when she saw her son bruised, her heart sched badly. She quickly assisted the girls and helped to carry Ian into his room
"Who did this to my baby?" Lilly asked again "I told Stephan to protect you and he let this happen to my baby. See if I don't skin that bald old man alive" the seemingly gentle Lily on normal days looked really terrifying as she gritted her teeth in anger
"Ma" Ian called softly "the principal didn't even know about this. So please spare the old man"
"But look at you" Lily said on the verge of tears. Turning to Irida and Elini she said "thank you girls for bringing my baby home for me, sorry for stressing you girls. Would you like something to drink?"
"We'll help ourselves downstairs and then we'd see ourselves out" Elini answered
"No need to see us off" Irida added "bye Ian"
"Thank you both" Lily said with a smile as she watched the girls leave. Turning towards her precious son, Lily couldn't help but tear up. Her baby that she treated like a treasure and couldn't even bear to hit was beaten up this badly
"Maaaa...." Ian called "I feel so sticky"
"Mama will help you wipe off right now" Lily said as she quickly rushed to the bathroom
Lily filled a bowl with water and picked up a towel, she went back to the room and sat beside her son. Lily helped Ian take off his shirt gently and began to meticulously wipe him
"Ian sweetie, who did this?" Lily asked again as she saw the bruises on Ian's body
"A group of boys were talking bad about Irida and I confronted them" Ian explained honestly "I threw the first punch"
"Did you...?" Lily asked hesitantly
"If I did, I wouldn't even end up in such a situation. You said not to beat people up in public and you said I shouldn't even leave traces if I do such, I didn't know if there was a surveillance camera there and we were in school, a public space" Ian said lightly
"But I didn't say you should get tossed like a bag of potatoes" Lily said, sighing in frustration as she continued wiping his body "your dad called today"
"Is it finally over?" Ian asked
"He said everything has been sorted out and we can be rest assured. He said he called Andres to help keep an eye on us" Lily explained
"So it's finally over" Ian sighed in relief, finally they didn't have to keep running around every few years anymore and maybe he could finally confess to his peach this time
"You received a call earlier today too" Lily informed Ian
"From who?" Ian asked curiously.
Most people he knew would just call him directly and he didn't have much friends neither was he expecting anyone's call
Only a few people had the house number due to safety reasons
"Finn" Lily replied
"Finn.... He's finally back" Ian said with a smile
With Finn back, things are bound to get even more interesting.
