Chapter 8
My eyes slowly fluttered open and painfully got up. I took slow and careful steps to face my evil reflection I've always hated. It was an ugly creature. I once heard a quote saying "People will only love you if you love yourself". It scared me, I noticed the glimmer of the silver blade on my desk. I shook the thought away and got ready, I faced the mirror again and I saw the creature again. But it looked better, but fake. I tried to push away the dread in my heart but it stayed there. I walked out the door and took the numb steps to school. I was normally in this mood, but it's been worse lately. I got to school and sat in the normal spot. I saw Emily walk up to me and she was smiling, I smiled back, knowing I was faking it. She looked at my arms to see a few rubber bands. She sighed a little but didn't mention the thought. "Rubi-Tuesday isn't here today because she's going to be with Jinxx, and she doesn't have any usefull classes" I nodded and remember Andy mentioning how none of them are going to there on Monday too, so it was basically me and Emily. I was ok with it though, as much as I loved the guys, I never liked too much company, Emily and Rubi-Tuesday is all I need. They saved my life once. I was pushed to the edge and they stopped me. But I regret not doing it. I always smile at the thought of the cold embrace of death. I smiled, hiding my thoughts. Emily gave me a suspicious look. "Meow? why are you so fucking quiet it's scaring me!" I laughed painfully, it's hard to even act happy right now, I have a dread in my heart and I can't shake it off for some reason. The bell rang and both Emily and I walked to the library for our spare and as I took each step my feet were being dragged down more and more. We sat on the seats and both got out laptops out. Emily tells me that she'll be back she just needs to find her form teacher for some reason, and as soon as she leaves I see five jocks.
Oh
Shit.
They walk in and notice me, I cringe a little as they walk towards me, "I see the little emo freak has a spare?" I nodded, while looking down, they look at each other and I could read their smug faces, "Where’s your other emo friend? Did she finally kill herself like we told her to?" I clenched my jaw and screamed through my teeth, ‘I’m not a freak and no she’s gonna come back and show you what happens when pain hits your fucking face!" They all looked at me and I had a smug smile on my face, "What did you just say?!" I realized what I just did and looked down, immediately regretting it, "Fucking emo freaks think that they’re so much better! Well guess what…" One of them grabbed me by my collar and lifted me up. "You’re not." His fist connected with my cheek and nose with full force, he dropped me and I felt blood gushing out of my nose and lip, I struggled to get up but failed. As they walked away I saw Emily walking and looking down at the paper that she had in her hands, she slowly looked up at me and gasped, "Destiny!!" She started run towards me and she helped me up, "Are you ok?!"

I wipe the blood off my lip with the back of my sleeve, smearing it. "Yeah." She looked at me shaking her head, "You need to tell the office…"
"No. I’m not going to whine to the office, I’m fine." I looked down at my shaky hands which were covered in blood. "You’re not."

I gave her a look and she didn’t shut up. "I’m going to tell the guys then, if you won’t tell anyo-"

"NO" I didn’t want them to know how weak I am! I don’t want Andy to know… Suddenly I see Andy walking up with the guys. "Emily hide me!" I could feel a huge bruise starting to appear on my face Emily stood away from me, leaving me vulnerable, I could see shock spread across Andy’s face, the other guys glanced over at me and their smile instantly disappeared, I felt blood dripping down my face, I looked down and got dizzy, my heart quickened and I shook more, I started to tremble uncontrollably and I could feel more blood drip down from my nose. Andy quickly caught me before I hit the ground, I could feel my eyes burning and my vision became blurry from the tears, I looked and hid my face with my hands, embarrassed. I could feel pick me up, "What the fuck happened?!"
"I’m sorry!!!" That's the only thing I could think of,...
"This guy called Aaron....."
Andy looked down and clenched his fist, "WHERE IS HE?!" I could feel the ground vibrate from his deep voice which was filled with anger. I've never seen him like this before! He stood up and Emily looked over to Aaron, who was walking past, with bruised knuckles. Andy looked at him, "Is that Aaron?" I nodded and Andy took large and heavy steps towards him, towering over him, and without warning punched him as hard as he could, he ran away as fast as he could and andy stopped tensing up so much, he took slower and softer steps towards me, being as gentle as he could, "Andy it's a bruise not a broken bone I'm fine!" He sighed and hugged me as tight as he could. "You sure?"
"Yes."

"Ok"
