Dakota

"Chloe it isn't even that bad" Dakota sighs.

"Easy for you to say, you're not a suicidal freak" Chloe cries "Ashton probably thinks I'm a freak"

"I don't think you're a freak" Chloe looks up from her knees and wipes her tears when she sees Ashton "Chloe I think you're the bravest person ever, as a cheerleader people expect you to be preppy and cheerful and that's a hard expectation to live up to"

"So we're here to help" Dakota says. She and Ashton crouch down either side of Chloe and each pull out a sharpie, Dakotas being pink and Ashtons being black. They each draw a butterfly and write their names underneath.

"What's this?" Chloe asks.

"It's called the butterfly project" Dakota says "each butterfly represents a person, and if that person draws the butterfly it's extra special. Each time you cut you kill those butterflies and wound the people they represent"

"It's the people who care about you, because if you cut you hurt us as well" Ashton says.

"Does sam know?" Dakota asks.

"No, you're the first two" Chloe says. Ashton sits next to her and she sighs, looking away and wiping her tears with her sweater sleeves "I tried to be strong - I really did, but it all came tumbling down when dad-"

"Clo?" Dakota asks "What did he do?"

"He- he started, hurting me when Marcus left" Chloe cries "I get it every night and he said if I told anyone he'd get his vengeance"

"Clo you can't stay there" Dakota says.

"Where else do I go?" Chloe asks "Marcus left and moved to New York, Amy's dead! I have no one"

"You're not staying there, we have to call the police" Ashton says.

"No! Ashton if you do that I will never forgive you" Chloe says, standing up quickly and looking at the two in front of her "I need to go - um - I - I'm sorry I just - can't"

Chloe runs off and Dakota sighs, sitting down next to Ashton and shaking her head.

"Dakota!"

Dakota cringes as she hears her boyfriend calling her name. It wasn't a nice sweet call it was a call full of venom and hatred.

"What have I told you about talking to these people?!" Oliver drags her up and she cringes as he presses on a bruise he gave her yesterday.

"I was talking to Chloe and so was Ashton then Chloe left-"

"Oh so chloes talking to them now?" Oliver laughs "this is one for the school to hear" Oliver runs away and Dakota looks at Ashton as they run to the car park where oliver is stood on his car hood "Listen up listen up!"

"What's this about oliver?!" Sam shouts.

"Oh you'll want to know" Oliver smirks and looks at Chloe "Chloe Mae has been talking to the misfits! My own girlfriend saw it and admitted it! Chloe Mae is now a misfit! No one talk to her, look at her and treat her like the four others"

"Oliver-"

"do you want to join her Dakota?" Oliver snaps.

"I'm going" Abi says "she won't survive by herself"

"Abi no-"

"You oliver are a Dick! Chloe is a beautiful girl and she doesn't deserve this! So if this is wrong just call me another fucking misfit" Abi yells, walking over and hugging Chloe who's now standing by the four boys.

"Anybody else?!" Oliver yells. Chloe looks at Dakota who just stares blankly at the floor and sighs "didn't think so, return to your lunch"

Everyone walks away as Dakota is dragged away by Oliver but not before seeing Sam walk over to Chloe. Oliver smirks and follows Sam to hear the gossip.

"You're - you're breaking up with me?" Chloe asks, shocked.

Chloe and Sam were a perfect couple. They always fought but never stayed mad, and both were always faithful.

"Sorry Clo, but it's bad for my reputation" Sam shrugs. Ashton clenches his jaw and balls his hands into fists.

"Not surprised Ryan dumped you either Ab" Oliver chuckles before they walk away. Abi freezes and turns to oliver.

"What did you say pretty boy?" Abi asks.

"I said I'm not surprised Ryan-" Before he could finish Abi had him pinned to the floor and took a swing, punching his nose causing it to bleed.

"I heard you dumb ass, say anything to me and Chloe or any of the boys for the matter and you will be sorry" Abi spits. She stands up and links arms with Chloe, walking away with the boys following.

"Your friends a little bitch" Oliver spits, wiping his nose.

"She's just-"

"Are you back chatting?" Oliver asks, slowly walking to Dakota until her back is against the wall.

"N - no Olly" Dakota stutters.

"Good girl" Oliver smirks. Dakota reaches into her bag and pulls out a small galaxy bar and oliver tuts.

"Babe no wonder you're not a flyer, you're getting a little podgy, maybe you should cut down on the food. I've told you before" Oliver says. Dakota nods and puts the food in the bin, not realising Calum had heard and seen the whole thing.
