Chapter 1: Pushed Too Far
Audrey's P.O.V
I hate him! I hate him with an icy passion that comes from the depths of my ever more freezing heart. He had just called my best friend a whore! SERIOUSLY! She dragged me away before I could do any harm but I did get in some colorful language as I was roughly dragged away by her and our other best friend, and her boyfriend. By the way, my best friend's name is Caroline. Her boyfriend's name is Ethan. We've been best friends since third grade when I first moved here. I now sat here next to her in lunch pouting and grumbling about getting a gun and shooting Cody Jones with a million bullets on fire covered in pink stuff. I hate pink so I would want it on Cody.
As I was about to start ranting, Caroline stuffed a cookie in my mouth. I stared at her wide eyed before I started laughing and chokingon the cookie. I smiled, Caroline always knows how to cheer me up. I stole another one of her cookies before suddenly an idea struck me. I whipped my head around to Ethan so fast i'm surprised I didn't get whip lash. I smirked at him and said,"We should all have a sleep over!" He smirked and I looked to see Caroline smirking as well. We always have the most fun sleep overs as well. We pull pranks, watch scary movies, sneak in and spy on my brother untill he sees us and chases us around my huge mansion like house laughing. Then, after Ethan falls alseep, Caroline and I do make overs and dance around crazily while stuffing our faces with cookies, chips, ice cream, pickles, cheese cake, and other junk food.
Caroline replied back,"Totally! I love our sleep overs at your house. They are AMAZING!" I smiled and she started thinking. She then blurted out,"Tomorrow before school, I am doing your make up and clothes!" I looked at her weirdly and asked,"Why?" She smirked and said,"To make you look good for Cody as he is so madly in love with you." I started choking on air as Ethan laughed. I spit out,"WHAT? Are you absolutely crazy? Where is this coming from? We have mutual feelings of hate!"
She shrugged and said,"Nope. I can't believe I didn't see it earlier, he's totally head over heels in love with you, and that's why he torments you. I saw it today when I dragged you away. The way he was looking at you was like the way Ethan and I look at each other." I scoffed. Ethan and Caroline are perfect for each other. They love each other and the way they look at each other is truly amazing. I've never seen a couple look like that unless it was their parents. Ethan cut in,"It's true. He was. Plus, you two would make the perfect match and quite a pair."
I scowled and asked,"How?" He looked at me like I was stupid, which I'm not. He scoffs and answers,"You two have short tempers, your both stubborn, you argue alot which is a sign of love, and you two have alot of thngs in common." I stared at him like he was stupid, which is what I said,"That's complete bull. We HATE each other! That's why we fight! We are total opposites! You two are-" I was cut off abruptly by Caroloine squealing,"He's coming over here!" I glared a death glare at her before turning and sneering as Cody walked over here full of arrogance. I sneered and asked,"What do you want?" He shrugged and said,"Nothing really, just got bored and decided to come mess with you and yoyr group of freaks."
I snorted and retorted,"Yeah, we're the freaks. Now, go away as we're busy planning a sleep over." He sneered and said,"Right. On a school night? Oh, that's right, you can because you have no parents." I froze as my face went blank. Each word he said as he continued turned my heart even colder. "And where are they? Oh right, their in jail aren't they? What, because they use to abuse you and you family causing your sister to go and kill herself. Or maybe it was because she wanted to get away from you." Caroline and Ethan were frozen in shock. Nobody knew about this besides them so I have no clue how he found out, but right now I didn't care. Tears welled up in my eyes as I spun around on him and spat out in a venom filled voice that he quickly flinched in fear. "Don't. You Ever. Mention. Them. Again." Then, next thing I knew, my fist was flying square into his jaw. He fell back and evryone gasp as I turned and walked out, shaking form anger.
As soon as everyone was out of sight, I started running. No one had brought that up for year and now he just had to bring it up. I didn't think he would even be that low. Never will I admit it, but he hurts me. I hat ehim, but only because he hates me. Everytime he does something or says something, it's like I grow colder, and it causes my self estem to drop. And that, it was like a bomb on my heart.
After I was out of school and in the woods, I dropped down and curled into a balla nd just silently cried. Like they say, it's better to suffer in silence. That's exactly what I've been doing and what I'll continue doing.
