Finding Hope Somewhere

Chapter 1

I walk down the long hallway to first period Science class. I really wish that I wasn't here I'd rather be at home sleeping. For some odd reason Jack wasn't here today so I was at school alone with no one by my side, no one to talk to.

"Yo anorexia girl, how was throwing up your food last night?" Abigail said, and again her "groupies" would laugh at me.

I really didn't mind because this always happens so it's an ongoing thing. I really wish that Jack was here because I was always to scared to stick up for myself so he would do it for me.

I walk into the first class and sit where I usually sit, in the back by the exit door. I was getting out my text book then I feel a presence next to me, I loook up and it's Jasper. I was kind of in shock, why was he sitting next to the so called "Weird, Anorexic, Bulimic, girl." I hate the fact that everyone makes up these stupid rumors because none of them are true even though I have sucky life doesn't mean anything.

"Do you know what page we are on?" Jasper asked me.

"Um, page 234" I said I was so nervous because he had never said anything to me.

"Thanks." he said and smiled.

I just smiled back the whole time I just slouched in my chair because my teacher was boreing me. I was trying not to stare at him but he was just perfect. He had black hair and green eyes he was just so perfect. I wanted to talk to him more but Abigail would probably try to do somthing to umiliate me.

As lunch time struck I went to get my lunch in the cafeteria so I could go back to my usual lunch place the bathroom. Once I get my food Abigail put's her foot out and makes me trip. Yet agian, another things she does to make my life a living hell.

"Abigail just leave her alone." Jasper said.

Jasper wasn't your typical jock he was nice and down to earth but the con about him was alot of other girls liked him.

"Are you going to make me?" Abigail said with her possy.

Jasper came over to me and asked

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine." I said trying to hurry and get myself off of the ground.

"I'm Jasper." He said putting his hand out to help me up.

"Hi, I'm Laura." I said grabbing his hand. "Thanks, but I have to go." I said. I smiled and walked away to the girls bathroom.

I was sitting in the stall when all of a sudden I hear "Laura, I know your in here come out come out where ever you are."

I knew it was Abigail, I was in a panic because this was the only place where she could possibly kill me. I got up and opened the stall and there she was standing with her possy.

"Please Abigail don't do anything."

I said.

"Who said I was going to do something?"

She said standig with he hand on her hip.

I felt sick just looking at her she has been my bully since I started coming to school here once she said her first word to me ever, that's when my life was oficially over.

"So Laura I saw you with Jasper, do you wanna get in his pants?" She said moving closer towards me.

"No, I just like him." I said while backing up. I was so scared I didn't know what to do.

"Well, he doesn't like you so get over it." She said laughing.

The only thing I wanted to do was run but I couldn't I really wished Jack was here. She got closer and she was making me really uncomfortable so the only thing that came to mind was spit at her. Once I spit at her I could tell she was pissed. The next thing you know she grabbed and threw me to the floor. I couldn't move knowing me I didn't scream for help. The only thing that came to mind was I was going to die.

I woke up and was just laying on the bathroom floor. I finally got myself up off of the floor and looked in the mirror and I saw that my face was all beat up and my lip was busted. I was about to cry, but I really didn't want too. I tried to clean myself up so no one would notice what they did to me.

I casually walked out of the bathroom and into my last period. I sat in the back and everyone was looking at me like I was an alien.

"Laura, are you okay?" Jasper asked me. "I'm fine." I said. "Okay just making sure." Jasper said. I smiled and just sat there with a blank face. I really just wanted to go home.

After school was done I packed all my stuff up and walked home. It was always nice being alone because that's what I like to do, is be alone. I got home and went up to my room. My parents were at the house just on the couch stoned like always. The bud weiser beer cans were all over the house. This house really needed to be cleaned and so did my parents.

I hated the fact that they didn't give me the attention their teen daughter needed. I just rolled my eyes and went upstairs to my room.

My room was pretty boring it had pictures of my friends and it had my bed and that's about it. I threw my backpack down on the floor and just went on my bed and just layed there. I put in my earphones and played teenagers by My Chemical Romance. I always loved music because it would calm my nerves and calmed me down.

I took out my book bag when I saw my mom open my door. I lifted my head and took out my earbuds. "How was your day?" She said. I just rolled my eyes and ignored her. "I'm talking to you." She said. "You wanna know what happened, Abigail and her friends beat me, and I come home to my parents drunk on the couch." I said. "I'm sorry Abigail." My mom said. "Bullshit, your not sorry, you don't care about me." I said. "I'm sorry you have a crappy life." She said raising her voice. She got up and went downstairs. I really hated my life. I just wanted to die, I really hate my mom and dad.
