If Only

Why

Lilly POV:

I have always wondered why some people suffer more than others. And why bad things happen to people who don't deserve them. Take me for example

I have had a speech impediment since I could talk. And no it is not a stutter.....Well kind of. I cant form sentences correctly and words. Especially when I am nervous.

So public speaking was never for me as you could tell. Well speaking in general really. I know this may surprise you but I don't have many friends. Crazy right? I can't believe it either.

Right now I am currently a software engineer at Marquez industries. Marquez industries is the biggest company in the world owned by none other than my high school bully Jade Marquez. 

Its moments like these that I am glad that my job is in front of a computer because I cannot even make eye contact with the woman. She scares me to death. Just like in high school.

In high school she would make fun of me because i couldn't speak properly and she would always push me around or say something to me anytime she got the chance.

I remember the last time I talked to her was when I was moving schools and she told me "Don't get your hopes up because no one wants to be with the bitch who can barely talk" And she was right

What I thought was a fresh start turned into the worst year of my life. Because there I got bullied by two new people. 

Amber Williams and Eva Thorne.

Amber was usually right behind Eva ready at any moment to give me a snarky remark.

As I was walking through the empty halls when suddenly my hair gets pulled from behind and my books get knocked out of hands.

I wince in pain as the hand that grabbed my hair tightens and I see who knocked my books out of my hands.

Amber

Amber grabbed my chin harshly and said "Don't make a fucking sound" I tried to make a sound but the person who I assumed was Eva pulled my hair even harder and whispered up against my ear "Shut the fuck up Lilly". 

We walked with Eva holding my hair in a death grip. We walked to the storage closet and Eva pushed me inside knocking over a few things as I fell to the ground. I could feel the tears well up in my eyes as I knew I couldn't defend myself as they both looked down at my quivering body on the ground with a smirk on their face.

"What should we do with her?" asked Amber 

"I've got a few things in mind" said Eva with a grin

She pulled out a rope from her backpack as I scrambled away from them into the corner.

"Where do you think you're going baby?" said Amber as she reached for me and I slipped out of her hold and lunged for the door in despair just to find out it was locked.

I turned around just for Eva to pin me down on the floor with one hand holding both of mine. I knew I couldn't fight back when each of these girls were extremely built and athletic.

In that moment I accepted my fate and let the tears flow out of my eyes like a fountain.

"Awww, don't cry pretty girl" said Eva as she wiped my tears.

I had calmed down up until I saw Amber pass her the rope. The tears flowed again as she tied my hands up and tied my legs together.

Soon she started caressing my face up until she punched me in the stomach. And another hit and another one. And when she got tired it was Amber's turn.
