Broken Things

Untitled Part 5

Sarah POV

Three years later senior year

I walk the hall of this school like a ghost just invisible to everyone, after the whole chris incident things just took a turn for the worst. We went back to school the next day and Chris began telling lies, he said that i cheated that everything he actually did is what i did. Since he is the Golden boy at school everyone immediately believed him and for my following high school years i was tormented by my school mates i was abused by them physically and mentally. When chris joined in on the bullying i just felt betrayed and broken because all the secrets i have ever told him he used against me telling everyone. I began not having any friends, even the teachers would look at me in disgust thinking i did that horrible thing to chris.

Then one day, changed me forever. After that day i will never be the same girl again i can never even look at myself again.

FLASHBACK

The populars decided that it was a cool idea to corner in and abandoned classroom when school was over on the last day of junior year. The whole football team and most of the cheerleaders were there, They shoved me into a corner then they started hitting me pulling my hair kicking me in the ribs and punching my face, when i hit the ground and by vision started to get hazy the started taking off my clothes. At that part the cheerleaders backed away and wished the kocks fun with me then left the room. When i was finally naked they started touching me all over my body, i couldn't do anything i was too weak i was still bleeding from their use minutes before. Things started to get serious when some of the boys started to take their pants off. I was so scared trembling on the cold hard ground wondering why no one heard my screams, why won't they help me and most of all what did i ever do to deserve this?

Half the team leaves before the rets start to rape me i guess they realized that doing that would take things too far and its wrong. The half that did stay began to rape me one by one and after they had their fill the each left one by one. When the last person of 20 or 25 had left i was all alone, i couldn't move i just laid there empty, just a shell of a person.

It felt like minutes but it was hours when i finally got the courage to stand up put on my clothes to leave the school and go home.

looking at my watch i realize that its midnight, so i start rushing home knowing that bad thing happen a this hour like a repeat of what happened to me.

I come home to hear my parents shouting at me about coming late this hour and blah blah blah, i didn't really listen i mean i was raped i'm still pretty shook by it

i interrupted my mom's ranting about what a horrible person i am i told them

"I WAS RAPED"

my mother just laughed at me so hard she was in tears then she started going off on how i am such a liar and how no one would even want to tough me let alone rape me so i left the entrance of my house and went straight to my room thinking why do bad things happen to those who truly want to be happy.

END FLASHBACK

i go to class and try to participate as much as i can . I want to get good grades so that i can leave here forever and go as far as possible. Fourth period is when i have lunch so i got to my locker to switch out books.When i am almost done getting my last book i'm interrupted by some guy. When i actually looked up i realized it wasn't just some guy that's going to hurt me it was Eli. He starts talking to me but i don't pay attention, my face is blank. I start wondering why he's back and what's he doing here talking to me. I start caring less about what he's doing here and i just turn away from him and walk away.

I make my way to the roof of the school for lunch. I don't want to have to see the faces of the people that ruined me, deal with the constant ridicule from my fellow students, or the sympathetic yet judgy looks from the cafeteria lady's. I forgot to bring lunch with me for school so i just sit up on the roof in my feelings see if i can figure things out, find some kind of solution.

I scoot closer to the edge looking at the buildings and parks surrounding the school and i get the urge to so something.

\I get the urge to jump.

So i stand on the ledge and make possibly the best decisions i have made in my life so far.

I stand up on the ledge i bend my knees getting ready to jump. But first i take a quick look around to make sure that no one would stop me.

I spot him. I sot eli going to make the same decision as i am. I guess by some weird coincidence he turns back and looks at me.

And weird enough he starts to make his way to wards me i and i just stand there frozen , i'm so confused on how i hadn't noticed him before. He stands next to me and i guess this time we have some kind of mutual understanding not to stop each other. so we slightly bend our knees together and when we are literally seconds from jumping.

seconds from flying.

seconds from finally being free.

The janitor comes and stops us shouting about how we shouldn't be getting it on up here and immediately escorts us off. I feel anger that's bubbling inside of me the visually impaired janitor just ruined my shot at freedom. i guess this is how Elli felt when i stopped him.

When im off the roof i let out the breathe that i've been holding. It felt like an eternity but the fact of the matter is i've only actually been up there for 10 minutes. I look to my side to find Eli but he's gone. I see him walking the other direction from me.

I start to run. I run oiut the school and to the park. I do't want to go home juust yet. I don't want to have to deal with everything just yet. so i stay in the park under the tree until its time for me to go back home, back to prison.
