Star of my life // Joe Sugg fanfic

Chapter 6

* Flashback *

I wake up to the sound of my alarm. My parents are shouting downstairs. I get up, feeling panicky. They never shout. What's happened?

I walk down the stairs, feeling anxious. I rush into the kitchen, where they won't see me. I grab my smoothie I didn't finish last night and sit down on the little sofa in the kitchen.

I check my social media, like Twitter and Facebook. Once I've finished, my parents have apologised and hugged. I hope I have a relationship like theirs when I'm older. Hardly ever argue, but when we do, apologise and hug straight away. I hope that we won't be able to stay angry at each other, ever.

I get ready and start walking, looking out for her. There she is, waiting for me. I start to run, faster than ever before. I can't get away. School's another five minutes away. I run as fast as I can. I look behind me. There she is, the girl that's bullied me for my whole life. Paige. She runs for her life, trying to catch up with me. She's too slow, obviously. I turn a corner and start walking normally again, thinking I've lost her. Moments later, I'm pushed to the ground.

"You can't get away from me, bitch," Paige says. I try to get up, but soon enough she's sitting on my back. She slaps me, punches me, and makes me unconscious.

I wake up in the hospital. I remember clearly what happened. But, again? This is the third time this has happened. The third. I'm fed up. My parents know. They're worried about me. I keep having to promise them it won't happen again. I can't keep promises.

I look to my side and, there to my surprise, I see Zoë and Joe on either side of me.

I smile and look at my arms. Stitches, lots of them. I stare in shock. Wait, did she break my leg and my arm too? I look at Zoë and Joe, asking what happened with my expression.

"She pushed you out onto the road when you went unconscious, in front of a car," Joe says. A look of worry and fear stay on their faces.

I start to breathe heavily, I can't control it. What's happening to me? This has never happened before. Tears spill out of my eyes. I feel sick. I can't talk. The breathing gets heavier, colder and sharper. I can't speak. My eyes become a total blur and I try and move. It's still happening to me. I feel terribly sick now, like I want to throw up.

I feel small hands on my body, holding me up. I lean over and puke spills out of my mouth. I start to calm down a little, and then I see her. Standing in the doorway of the room. She walks over to me and swings her arm. I scream.

I wake up, screaming, and I'm breathing heavily. Flashback. Not again. I'm breathing heavily, sharp, cold and control less. It's been happening since that day. That day she was suspended. She moved to a different school, far away. A private school, I heard. I received a text later in the year. It was from her.

I will get you back, you useless, unwanted bitch.

Useless. The word rang in my head all week. I had suicidal thoughts. I developed depression and anxiety. I cut. I hated my life. I would have committed suicide if it wasn't for Zoë and Joe. They practically saved my life. My parents didn't know. I had to tell them in the end. After a year of it happening.

Joe sings to me, my favourite song. Star Girl, by McFly.
