Chapter Text
Tobin Heath pulled into her usual spot in the school's parking lot, up front just where she should be. Anyone who denied her that would regret it. She is one of the most feared students of Diamond Bar, after all.
Not even a second later, Hope Solo, and Ashlyn Harris pulled up in their shared Jeep Wrangler. Without opening her door, Hope jumped out from the top, followed by Ashlyn.
"Hey, tobs" Ashlyn says, chucking her a pack of cigarettes.
"Yo. Thanks dude, I was low." Tobin says as she takes out her lighter, flipping the top, and lighting her cigarette.
"You don't really take good care of yourself do you?" Hope asks, as she pounds Tobin on the back, as they head towards the entrance.
"You know how it is" Tobin sighs as she extinguishes the cigarette on one of the lockers, throwing it at some poor random kid.
This action causes the trio to laugh, as the kid yelps from the burn.
Their laughter ends however when one brave soul decides to confront them about their antics.
"Just because you're damaged goods doesn't mean you have the right to take it out on us for no reason, Tobin Heath"
Everything went silent at that, all eyes on them. Sensing Tobin's anger, Hope reached to hold her shoulder, but it was too late. The damage had been done.
Before the kid could react, Tobin had him pinned to the floor, pounding his face in.
Ashlyn and Hope are quick to react, and grab hold of Tobin. Hope wraps her arm around her waist, while Ashlyn holds onto her arms.
"Tobin, you need to calm down" Hope groans out as she tries to pull her away.
It took a lot of tries, but they finally got Tobin away from him.
Getting Tobin under control was always a challenge, so they took her to her favorite place in the school. The roof.
"Dude, you can't keep doing that. I know it's hard, hell even I was about to kick his ass" Hope says looking at Tobin for her reaction.
She just sighs and lays on her back, with her arms behind her head, looking off into the sky.
"You don't think I know that? I try to hold it in, but you know ever since..." She didn't have to finish her sentence, for they knew what she was gonna say.
Silence passed over them, which was odd, considering they always had things to talk about.
"Let's head out, we are in enough trouble this week as it is." Ashlyn said, which Hope and Tobin agreed with.
Heading towards their designated vehicles, they pull out of the parking lot, towards their apartment.
Once inside, Ashlyn instantly grabs three. beers and head over to the couch. Tobin and Hope had already sat down and were fighting over the remote. The room was filled with laughter, which was a good sign considering what had happened.
There fun was cut short when the front door slammed open. The smiles were gone from their faces, even though they knew this would happen.
"Mind explaining to me what the hell happened at school today?" Abby, their guardian, shouted.
When no one answered it just made her angrier.
"Oh don't stop talking now, you were just fine a minute ago."
The badasses lowered their heads in shame. Sure they felt bad about disappointing Abby, they couldn't help it, it was who they were raised to act.
Ashlyn was the one to speak. "He called Tobin damaged goods, what did he think would happen."
This caused Abby's face to soften a little. After a minute or two of silence, Abby sighed.
"Look I hate to do this, but as punishment you guys have to help with whatever that kids parents need."
In unison, they groaned.
"Hey, you guys are lucky they didn't bring court into this" Abby yelled.
Slowly all three of them nodded their head, but not happy with the results.
"How long do we have to do this" Hope asked.
"Three weeks." Abby said, before walking over and grabbing the beers from their hands. "And what did I say about drinking? Okay after what happened today, I want all three of you to go up into your room for the rest of the day, I figured you need some rest. We will talk about this later."
Tobin, Hope, and Ashlyn all walked upstairs, but was stopped by Abby's voice.
"Tobin, I need to speak with you for a
minute."
Tobin nodded her head, and went back down the stairs, while Hope and Ashlyn went up.
Abby sighed before she spoke. "You know what that boy said wasn't true, right? You are not damaged goods." Hearing this, caused Tobin to cry.
"No, it's true. What he said was true." She sobbed out.
Abby wrapped her in a hug, whispering in her ear.
"No it's not, and deep down you know it too. What you girls have been through, nobody deserves that." Tobin continued to sob, but nodded her head.
"Alright go rest, I'll call you down in a couple hours." Abby whispered, as she stood back to wipe her tears.
"Thanks, Abby. We'd be lost without you."
This caused Abby to smile.
After the emotional draining moment was over, Tobin headed up stairs and plopped onto her bed, Hope and Ashlyn already asleep.
