I would take a bullet for you just to prove my love.

Chapter 2

Oh my god. I can't believe that happened yesterday. I lay in my bed, spread out across it, thinking about the boy. Did I do anything wrong? Will I see him again? I try to cancel out the thoughts I get. I start to feel butterflies roaming around in my stomach, urging me to get up. I prop up from my bed, and stand up straight. UGH MY BACK IS KILLING ME- I must've slept terribly.. I stare at my bed. There's blood in it. I run to the mirror, and stare at my back. There are pins, pushed far into my back. I scream.

"JOSHUA! COME HERE." I yell, my throat burning because I'm so loud. "YOU PRICK, COME HERE NOW" did I just make a pun without realising? Ha- ha- I'm so funny. I suddenly turn back to reality to see my blood dripping slowly down my leg. Joshua runs up the stairs into my room, with a smug look on his face.

"Yes, my dear sister?" He says, smirking evilly. Joshua, my evil step brother. I feel like Cinderella, everyone in my family is okay.. But Joshua.. No. I pull out a pin of my back secretly, and walk over to Joshua. I stab him with the pin as hard as I can, and he screams at the top of his lungs. My step-mother runs up stairs, screaming my name. "BELLE, WHAT DID YOU DO?" Don't you love how my mother screams whenever my brother gets hurt, but not me? Mm. My mother stares at me dead in the eye, not taking a breath. I start to panic. Will she hurt me? Does she hate me? The thoughts flood into my head. What should I do? Should I run? She just stares at me. Then she stares at joshua. There's blood dripping down his arm, it isn't as much blood that's on my back. I feel the blood drizzle down my leg as mum starts screaming at me. I turn around and show her my ruined back. She doesn't seem to care at all, she thinks it's an 'act'. Mum never believes me, it's always about Joshua, because he's young. It's always about him, always always always. My mind gets clogged with thoughts and I can't focus on being calm.

I scream at my mum.

"WHY DON'T YOU JUST LOOK AT MY BACK YOU DUMBASS? IT'S OBVIOUSLY HIS FAULT." I go silent all of a sudden, realising what I've just said. She stares knives through me. I feel faint as I know I've done the worst possible thing I could.

"What did you just say to me?" She says. I stand there silently. She starts to storm towards me and I quickly run out of the room, and hide. She's going to kill me. What should I do? HOW CAN I GET OUT OF THIS HELL HOLE? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME? Everything is in chaos as I hear my brother and mum storming around, trying to find me. Maybe I should go to the koi pond. Maybe he will be there, and comfort me. I sigh and prepare myself to run. I start running as quickly as I can, before my mum sees me and starts bolting over to me. I run face first into the door but quickly open it. I ran down the street in a hurry. Our neighbours just stare at me. I can't stop running. If I do, she'll catch me, and hurt me. I lose my mother, and run down the alleyway where the koi fish are. I catch my breath as blood dries, the blood that dripped down my leg. The blood drips into the pond. I sat down. I think they lost me, they're incredibly slow. As I stared at the small pond,in the reflection, a figure came up behind me. It's the boy from before. I turn around to greet him. He seemed surprised.

"Are you okay? Why are you crying? Why are you all bloody?" He says, with a worried expression on his face. I just stare at him.

"Nothing is wrong, it's okay. I just tripped and fell." I say, trying to convince him. He stares into my eyes. He obviously doesn't buy it. He takes off his jacket and wraps it around me. I get butterflies in my stomach. I look at him, and he's looking at me, worriedly. I smile warmly back at him. I feel better now he's here. I hug him, but he seems surprised. I suddenly realised that he didn't want me to hug him.

"Sorry."

"No no! Its okay, you can keep hugging me if you'd like."

I smile at him.

Maybe with him everything will get better, I'm sure of it.
