Leo's P.O.V

Ugh! Why does mum even bother! She knows wherever I go everyone hates me! The world hates me!
''Mum,thanks for trying and everything, but-''
''Everywhere you go, everyone hates you... Son, no everyone does not hate you. Anyone who makes a nasty remark are just jelous of you.-''
''OF WHAT! WHAT DO I HAVE THAT EVERYONE YEARNS FOR OTHER THAN FAMILY WHO DONT UNDERSTAND ME. WHAT?! EVERY SCHOOL YOU TAKE ME TO, AGAIN AND AGAIN THE SAME SHIT COMES MY WAY! 'ugh leo go kill yourself!' ' your a nuisance to the world' 'do us a favour and rot away in a gutter!' '' I gasped and flushed hot and red. No one knew. Not even mum.
''W-what.'' She turned to me shaken by my words. I hid my face in the car window.
"Wh-who said that?" Mums eyes widened and I could see the pain on her face.
" Errm... No one. No no no I was just exaggerating... Sorry..." I stuttered. I didnt know what to say. I needed to tell someone!! But I cant. 'Stupid leo , that boy is too sensitive!' I could imagine people saying. It was probably true anyway.

" Leo! Dont do that! " she smiled nervously.
"Sorry mum. I didnt mean to shout at you. Its not your fault. All this time you've been trying to help me but I pushed you away. Im so sorry..." I'm not sure she heard my last few sentences as I welled up in tears, my voice hoarse. I never thought about how she felt. Just me. Always me. Drowning in self-pity.
"Baby. Its not your fault either. I love you. We will fight our way out. Trust me." Mum teared up. Ugh! I hate myself. Everything I do it ends in me hurting someone I love. Maybe I should just die, or rot in a gutter. I'd leave everyone happy like it used to be, without me...

"Leo!" Mum snapped her fingers several times in front of my face.
"We are here now," Mum parked up outside our new house and ruffled my hair. "Leondre Devries...How did we end up here? Hmm. There is always a way out. You must think I always say that but the time will come." Mum always made me feel better.

'Yawn' today was my first day at the Welsh Comprehensive school. In bed still, I stared at the plain black blazer mum ironed for me and hung on my door alongside a black and red striped tie. I scrunched my eyes closed tight. 'Okay Leo, dont mess today up, be cool, be talkative, do not show yourself up.' Today was the day. The day I had friends,the day I met a girl, the day I walked into school with no orange juice squirted all over me, seeping through the cuts...
