not through love but through revenge

i was getting my usual beauty sleep after a long night of traumatic events and hudson lashing out on me. i slightly opened my eyes and found myself in my bed comfortably tucked in. 

my thoughts were loudly disturbed by  heavy footsteps pacing around the dorm room. it was like 4 am, why the fuck isn't he sleeping? i couldn't care enough to pay attention to what he was saying or doing, so i tried to just shake it off and get back to sleep but then something caught my attention.

"i told you andrew, i don't care how you do it but i want it to be taken care of by surnise. i already transferred the 100k to your bank account."

"yes, now get it done and don't disappoint me." thats when hudson hung up and i could hear his bed squeak as he climbed into it from across the room, once again the darkness took over me.

the next morning i woke up dazed and confused as i reached for my phone to check the time. "shit." its 11:24 am, i slept through ap english. i huried as i slipped on a pair of plain black leggings and a simple dark grey hoodie. i tied my golden locks into a low messy bun and quickly wiped yesterday's makeup off. I still had the black mascara stains on my cheeks. i tried not to think about the recent events in fear that i'd break again.

 "you're strong bitch. dont let yourself break over stupid fucking men." 

i noticed hudson's bed was made and his backpack was gone. "great. he didn't even wake me up for class." I realized he probably wanted me to get a good night's sleep after what happened last night. fuck. its 11:50, ive spent 10 mins daydreaming about hudson. what has that boy done to me. i grabbed my tattered jansport backpack and rushed to class. 

as i was walking to class the energy of the student body felt...off.  i walked past a group of girls hugging each other as each one of them balled their eyes out. "i wonder what that's all about" i said to myself. i saw jules leaving english and ran up to her. 

"hey jules! sorry i ran out at the party on saturday, i wasn't really feeling well..." i said looking into her sea-green eyes. 

"OH MY GOD, no worries kat i was just you know, worried! speaking of the party... remember that kid dylan??? he was at the party? i thought i saw you talking to him?" 

oh no.  just the sound of his name brought all the memories back in full force. I was trying not to burst into tears when jules said "yea, well this morning he got into a car crash and broke his neck... he fucking died kat.." as she ran into my arms to embrace a hug i couldn't help but feel the weight on my shoulders slowly disappear.

 i started balling, overwhelmed with emotions. jules mistook these tears as sympathy and brought me into an even tighter hug. 

"yea... its honestly all kind of crazy, apparently his breaks all of a sudden stopped working and he drove into a steel pole. the cops declared it a freak manufacturing accident." i didn't know what to think. i needed time to process these overwhelming emotions.

 "i-i gotta go jules... talk to you later okay?" i said wiping my tears away with my hoodie sleeve. "okay kat sweetie, classes are cancelled for the rest of the week by the way to you know, mourn dylan. he was apart of the student council so it was really significant to the entire school." my new friend said. 

"ok sounds good, see you around jules." i said as i walked away back to the only place that has felt like home here. my dorm. minus the tattooed fucking dick.
