Why bully me?

Chapter 7.

Michelle's POV
I was packing some clothes because my parents are booking us a flight to go back to New Jersey to see my brother and then come back. I go to the living room and watch tv since I'm done packing and while I was getting up to go to the kitchen for a glass of water my doorbell rings. Weird. I opened the door and there stood a boy that looks a year older then me.
"Hi, my name is Derek and I'm the new neighbor." the boy named Derek said.
"Hi? Um not to be rude or anything but why are you here?" I asked nicely.
"My parents wanted me to come here and I also wanted to make friends." he said smiling. That smile kind of reminded me of my brother and out of nowhere I started crying.
"Are you okay?" He asked. I shook my head.
"That smile of yours reminds me of my brother and he is in New Jersey and he got into a car crash and is in coma and now I am going there to see him for a few days then come back for school." I said.
"I'm sure he will be okay. Don't worry." he said smiling.
"Sorry for crying." I said laughing a little bit.
"It's okay. Um I didn't catch your name." he said.
"Sorry my name is Michelle." I said smiling. Derek extended his hand and I gladly shook it. I told Derek to come in and we started talking about ourselves so I know everything about him but he doesn't know 1 thing about me. Nobody knows that 1 thing not even my parents not even Ashton or Nathaly or Rosemary and I hope I don't tell them. Derek soon left and I went to bed. Maybe I should tell someone because I want to get this pain out. But who do I tell? All the people I trust?
--
My alarm went off and I woke up and did everything I needed to do. Once I was done with everything I went downstairs and I found Ashton sitting on my couch.
"Hey." I said. He got up and hugged me.
"Hey." he said. I got my things and yelled goodbye and left to pick up Nathaly and leave to school with my two best friends. Over the night I was thinking about telling the people I trust except my parents about that one thing so I'm planning on telling Ashton and Nathaly and Derek later on. I also have to tell them I'm going to New Jersey to see my brother.
"Hey Nathaly." I said giving her a hug.
"Hey." she said.
"Hey Nat." Ashton said hugging her.
"Hey Ash." she said. We started walking to school and when we got there I saw a familiar face.
"Derek?!" I said. Derek turned around and camping running towards me.
"Hey Michelle." he said.
"Hey. Ash, Nat this is my new neighbor Derek. Derek these are my friends Ashton and Nathaly." They all said hi to each other and then I saw Derek's schedule and we had everything together and Nathaly also had everything with us except Ashton had a different schedule.
"Nathaly? Ashton? Can I talk to you guys?" I asked. They stopped walking and faced me. I was on the verge of tears but I had to keep it together.
"Um... I have to go back to New Jersey." I said and that's when I lost it I started crying.
"What?! Why?!" Ashton said.
"My brother, he.... got into a car crash and is now in...coma. But I'm going to be gone for only a few days, I'll be back." I said.
"Oh I'm sorry." Nathaly said. I was still crying and that was when Luke came.
"Aw look at the cry baby." Luke said.
"Shut the fuck up and keep walking you fucktard." I said. He just left.
"Shh it's okay." Ashton said hugging me.
"Let's go to the bathroom to get you washed up." Nathaly said. I nodded and we both went to the bathroom. After getting my faced washed me and Nathaly went to class and took our seats and saw Derek was getting bullied by Luke. Of course. Luke tripped Derek and he dropped all of his books on Luke.
"Watch were your going fatass." Luke said. Everybody was laughing except me and Nathaly.
"Leave him alone fucker." I said getting up to help Derek up.
"What if I dont?" Luke asked. That's it. I punched Luke and he started bleeding.
"You are so paying for that slut!" He yelled going to the bathroom.
"Watch you back." A black hair boy said.
"Shut up Asian kid." I said.
"Calum she told you!" A red haired boy said.
"Shut up Michael." Calum said. I took Derek to his seat and then went to my seat and the class started.
--
When school finished I was walking home by myself since Nathaly had things to do and same with Ashton and Derek went home with his parents.
"Hey look it's the slut!" Luke said. I started walking faster and Luke catches up to me fast and he pulls my hair.
"Let me go fucker!" I said. He pushed me to the ground and punched me. His friends Calum and Michael were laughing. I got up and kicked the three of them and went home. Once I got home my parents were crying.
"Mom? Dad? What's wrong?" I asked.
"Jesus hasn't woken up." my mom said. I ran to my room and that's when I did it again. I couldn't take it anymore so I grabbed my blade I keep for emergencies and went to the bathroom and did 10 cuts I started bleeding and I washed it off and put on a sweater. I did my homework and someone was throwing rocks at my window. I looked at my window and saw Luke and his fucking friends.
"What the fuck do you want Hemmings?!" I asked.
"Come down we haven't finished." he said smirking.
"Leave me alone!!" I yelled.
"Not until you come down." He said
"NO!!" I yelled and closed my window and finished my homework. When I was done I decided to take a walk. I grabbed my things and went for a walk around the park. While I was walking I felt like I was being followed and so I started running and the footsteps just came closer. Someone grabbed me and pulled me down and started beating me up and now I'm too weak I'm getting weak so I can't stand up to myself anymore.
"I told you we haven't finished!" A voice said and right away I knew it was Luke. I can't stand up to myself I'm weak.
"S-sorry." I said.
"What happened? Can't stand up for yourself anymore?" He asked. I had the strength to get up and when I did I ran away. Why was he bullying me he barely knows me? I just moved to Australia and he started bullying me and I'm getting too weak and now I hate myself for getting weak and not standing up to myself. Why me? Why bully me?
