Never Too Late

Chapter 11- Sophomore

*age 16*

Quinn and Taylor walk down the halls of the high school. They've been their for about a year, which they're both a sophomore.

Surprisingly Megan hasn't bullied her face to face. On the other hand, cyber bulling she does.

"I can't believe that we're finally a sophomore!" Taylor cheers. Quinn only laughs at her little dance she's doing. "Tay, please, stop..." he sigh but also chuckles.

She rolls her eyes as she straitens up her book bag on her shoulder. "Incoming.." Quinn whispers into Taylor's ear. "The bitch squad is coming.."

The bitch squad is the most popular sic girls of the school. "They act like they own this place." Taylor chuckles into Quinn's ear.

Stephanie, the main 'bitch' is wearing a black leathered skirt that almost reaches up to her butt, strapless black leathered buttoned up shirt, and black leathered knee high laced boots.

"Seems like today she wants to be sluttier." Taylor says as Stephanie eyes her.

"Hey Taylor! Come here!" Stephanie says while holding a Starbucks cup of coffee.

Taylor shyly walks over, gripping onto her book bag strap. "What did you say about me?" She asks shoving Taylor a bit.

"N-nothing.." Taylor mutters, this only makes Stephanie angrier. "Listen taywhore! No one likes you, and no one ever will!"

Stephanie hold her Starbucks cup for one of her friends to grab and hold. She quickly grabs Taylor's hand, forcefully pulling to her.

The stephenbitch pulls up her sleeve, only for her to revile Taylor's cuts on her wrist. "Look everyone! We have an emo! Emo alert!" Now everyone is gathering around the scene in a circle.

Taylor tries so hard to jerk away her arm, but only for Stephanie to grip tighter. "Look at this!" She shouts now slapping the newly scars on her wrist.

"Ahh! Stop!" Taylor cries out only to see Quinn is no where near to help.

Suddenly a males voice is heard. "Stop that, Stephanie!" Everyone turns to see Mr. Woodblock running with Quinn beside of him.

Everyone rushes off to their class, even Stephanie, leaving Taylor there in shame. Ashamed to come to school. Ashamed to be seen. Ashamed if everything.

"Taylor!" Quinn shouts as he runs up to her, holding her close. Tears stream down his face as he holds Taylor close to his chest.

"Come on, let me take you home with me." he whispers into her ear as he gets up, still holding her close.

"Taylor, I'm sorry about Stephanie." Quinn sighs breaking the awkward silence. She only turned over to face the wall.

She closes her eyes thinking. Her lips start to tremble as for her eyes start to water.

"I-I have to g-go.." She says getting up and grabbing her book bag. "Taylor! Wait!" Quinn shouts trying to stop her as she makes her way to the front door.

Without speaking, she turn around and faces him. Her eyes practically saying 'please, let me leave. I can't handle this. I want to die.'

He loosens his grip, slowly backing away from her. "Taylor, I'm sorry-" Before he could finish she storms out the door.

--

"I can't handle this anymore!" She screams throwing her book bag to the ground below her.

She falls onto her knees, crying into her hands. "I don't want to live.." She repeats while sobbing.

Suddenly, a car horn is heard not too far from her. She stands up on her two feet, turning to see the people in the car is Stephanie and Megan.

Taylor's eyes widen as she quickly grabs her book bag running away from the car as it speeds up to her.

"Whore!" The two scream as Stephanie throws her Starbucks on Taylor. The car then speeds off faster down the road. As for Taylor, her speed slows down looking at her new cloths covered in Starbucks.

"Why me!" Taylor screams up in the air. "Why me..." she whispers now walking home.
