Chase Creed

I did ask Smith if she was ok, but then she'd already fallen asleep. I still don't think it's good idea for her to even look at that fuckwit, let alone text him. My guess to her crying would've been because of her mum, she just needs to accept the fact that I care about her a lot.

I get into school, but as soon as I show my face, the hallways go dead silent. All eyes were on me, people kept looking at their phones then at me. I hear a couple of whispers fill the hallway but no one dared to speak out. I walk up to Zoe, who's looking at me concerned.

"What the fuck, is everyone on drugs" I ask, which is very ironic because of me dealing them.

She doesn't say a word just hands me her phone. Right there on Smith's Instagram and Snapchat story, my entire life:

Selina
Damn, imagine being Chase, dealing 💊 2 little kids, how low, didn't ur parents teach u nhth. Oh wait, ur dads dead and ur mums in rehab, wtf, cld ur parents ever teach u, besides how 2 b a fuckup 🤣🤣. Moving town 50 times, being thrown in juvie. Wow, Chase u've acc got everything, except the brains 2 keep ur life private, let this b a lesson 4 u, don't ever hit Nick again.🖕

I stood silently after reading this, she comes out of the bathroom and heads towards Nick. I couldn't believe she'd told the world that my mum was in rehab, that was for her ears and her ears only.

"Are you gonna speak to her?" Zoe asked me, slowly taking her phone back. "No" I say gritting my teeth. Smith was speaking to Nick still, but now she looked angry, she'd pushed him back and walked away. I turned around and headed for my lesson.

"Chase" I hear a familiar voice, behind me, 2 seconds later, someone tugged at my arm. "Chase, I'm so sorry, but I swear I did not say that" she says. "So that's why you apologized yesterday" I say calmly, putting my hand on my chin.

"Yes, yeah it was but then, after you helped me, I decided to call it off, I didn't want anything to do with it, I swear to god" she says, she looks genuine, but that crap that I told her, I only told her no one else.

"Wow, and to think, I actually helped you throughout everything, every shit thing, anyone's ever put you through, and this is how you repay me" I say to her, "well be grateful that I'm such a nice guy, otherwise everyone bastard out there would've known how fucking miserable you are"

"Chase please believe me, it was Nick who did it" she says tugging at my arm. "Why the fuck should I believe you, I only told you that my mum got put in rehab, no one else, and why the fuck would you stick up for that muppet for?" I ask her.

"Chase, I don't know how he found out, but I swear i didn't say anything" she looks as though she's about to cry.

"Heh, fuck it, Smith, fuck you" I say before I head into science.

Smith is usually in my lessons, but she wasn't in any of them, I didn't feel bad, she shouldn't have done it, or, told Nick about my mum. "It's fucked up what she did to you, bro" Jake wraps an arm around my neck. "Nah, don't worry about it" I say, before Zoe cuts in.

"Well, I think that she's the biggest bitch ever, telling people about your private life, I would've whacked her then and there, anyway, how she know about... anything?".
I don't answer, I don't want people knowing that she's staying at my house. "Fuck knows" I say shrugging my shoulders.

The lesson ends and we head for lunch, I'm sat at the end again and Zoe sat on my right. "Chase" someone calls behind me, I turn my head, it was Holly, Jake's younger sister and Smiths mate. "What?" I say, "can I have a word?" She asks walking away slowly.

I get up in frustration, "what do you wanna say to me, and if it's about Smith, you can stop right there"I tell her. "Shut the fuck up, sit the fuck down and read this" she says, shoving a phone in my face. It was Nick's messages to Smith. "What- How-" "yes, yes, I know, I'm a miracle worker, now read"

I read through every single message, starting from yesterday night. "Oh" I mumble, Holly interrupts me by adding her own piece, "yeah, oh, you know is she hurts herself it's gonna be on you" she says, but then quickly slaps her hand over her mouth.

"Wait what?!" I ask her in shock, "no nothing, forget I even said anything" Holly quickly turns to walk away, I grab her by her wrist, "what do you mean, 'hurts herself'?" I ask her assertively.

"Oh, you don't know" she says, "no, no I don't Holly, what did you mean?!" I say louder, "Ok!" "Ok, basically, she sorta kinda self-harms, 'cause of her mum she started it, and now whenever someone makes her feel like shit she would do it then" she tells me. I stopped and take it all in, "she's never wrote about it in her diary" I say, yeah, she was worried her parents would find out, so..." she replies quietly, "you can't let her know I told you, she would rip my head clean off" she quickly adds.

"Shit, yeah, sure ok, I won't" I say to her.

It's the end of school and I quickly head home. I barge open the door, to see Petunia cleaning the lobby."Pet, where is she?" I ask quickly, "oh, darling, she went out, why you seem worried, are you ok?" She asks placing a hand on my shoulder. "Yeah" I whisper.

I grabbed something to eat before I also head out. I come home at around 11, I'm not that tired to be honest, maybe it was since I got suspended, I had gotten to sleep in. I walk upstairs and open Smiths door. She sitting on her bed with a... little blade.

I open my mouth and she jumps off her bed, "get the fuck out" she pushes me and closes the door. I couldn't process what I'd just seen, but I had to try to stop her. "Smith, open the fucking door now!" I demanded. "I know it wasn't you, and I didn't mean to say what I said".

Little bit of self harm:
"Yeah well I fucking told you didn't I, you just didn't listen" she says. 5 seconds later, I hear her wincing. That's when I broke open the door.

I stood there, looking at her, the blood dripped from her wrists and her palms, the blood was so fucking red and the cuts were extremely deep, there was no way they would stop bleeding instantly and her mascara was smudged as fuck. "I'm sorry" she says walking up to me and hugging me, I didn't care  if the blood smudged on the back of my shirt, she needed me. "You don't have to apologize, it's my fault, Smith, I didn't mean to say... anything"

She keeps her head buried in my chest, my hand and her waist and the other on the back of her head. "I want us to go back to the way we were, make me forget, please" and I knew exactly what she meant.

Selina self-harms, this is because of Nick and his big-ass nose

I hope Chase breaks his face, for the second time, that bastard
