mollie was still in the bathroom stall, regretting her presentation. but she couldn't dare unlock the door. she was too scared to face everyone.
her face was a mess for crying so much.
her phone buzzed again.
it was her mum.
'keep it shut. otherwise i'm going to kick you out'. also my new boyfriend is moving in. and i don't care if you don't want this because i love him, and also don't forget i want my money by four, otherwise i will hurt you! goodbye freak'.
she couldn't take anymore of her mum's crap. and she smashed her phone to the ground. she opened a container of small pills, but they rolled outside the door.
as she opened the door to get them, christine was there concerned by what she had just heard. mollie tried to grab all the pills off the floor and put them in her mouth.
'mollie no no, look at me', christine said trying to usher her away from taking them.
'what other way is there', i just...', mollie said stuttering.
she just sat there, looking at her with a drained look.
'look sweetheart i heard what your mum said'..
mollie looked scared, she didn't know how to react.
'you can stop pretending you're okay.. i know deep down something is crushing you', christine said.
'why can't everything just leave me alone', mollie said.
christine began getting more worried.
'mollie..'
'I just need everything to stop'.. i. I just need it to stop', mollie sobbed.
'oh love'. come here'.
Christine put her arms around Mollie, in a way that showed her safety and reassurance. she could tell how much mollie needed someone.
'I'm so sorry I just can't do this anymore', I really tried.. mollie said breaking down. she felt as if her hidden weaknesses, couldn't be unnoticed anymore.
'shh shh. it's all gonna be okay', you look at me, I promise'.. Christine said looking at her.
but then Christine noticed something. a mark on mollie's neck.
'mollie. did she do this?'
'miss please', mollie said trying to avoid the question'.
'did your mum hurt you'..
'I can't. I don't want to talk about it'
'I need to get out of here'.. mollie said sobbing as she ran out..
christine went out after her.
