You Took Me In As One

Chapter 36

Weeks after my birthday, I've been all depressed. I never leave the house unless it has something to do with R5. Reilly hasn't been talking to me since I shut him down, but I wasn't ready.

Now I regret it because I miss him so much. He came over about 3 times and barley texts or calls, and when he does, it's always awkward.

" Jordan are you ready?" I was heading to school. I still don't know why I'm not being homeschooled. It would be so much easier.

Mark dropped me off and I walked through the hall ways. Everyone was eyeing me up, giving me dirty looks and nasty glares. I looked down to what I was wearing. Black skinny jeans and a oversized sweater.

I'm never in the mood to change, so I pretty much wear the same things. My head was down as I walk to the bathroom. Another thing pushing me deep into depression is the bullying.

" Hey look, it's that emo chick." A group of people started me down then went back to talking. When I walked out of the bathroom, the group was gone. I sighed in relief and walked to my class and took a seat.

Today was the longest day of my life, I wasn't in the mood to be here, so I went and told the teacher I didn't feel well. She told me to go to the office. I went to the office and I sighed myself out.

I grabbed my bag and started to walk home. No one should be home because R5 has an interview to do, but I don't know what time.

I was walking home, I turned a corner and I seen Laura hooking up with another guy by a water fountain. I watched as the pulled back and smiled at each other, he looked really familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. After I was out of the shock I walk up to her and start yelling at her.

" How dare you!" I yelled. She glared at me while the guy looked confused. " What are you doing here?" She growled. " No, the real question is why are you hooking up with this guy while you have a boyfriend?!" The man looked at Laura in shock.

He moved away from her. " You told me it was just a one time thing!" He yelled getting up and leaving. Anger flashed in her eyes. If looks could kill, I'd be dead.
" I love Ross, so you better not tell him anything you little twat!"

I laughed " You don't know what love is! Cause if you did, you wouldn't have cheated on Ross over, and over, and over again!"

" How do you know what love is? No one has, or ever will ever love you!"
I don't say anything.
"Why do you think your grand parents put you up for adoption? Why do you think that none of your family wanted you? Here's why. Because they don't love you." How'd she even know about that?

An evil grin appeared of her face as She started to laugh. Tears surfaced my eyes. She noticed and started to laugh more. I took off and started running. She's right. No one loves me. Not even my " Family" as I got home, no one was there, just as I thought. I through my bag, kicked off my shoes and I went up into my room. I couldn't stop my sobbing by this point.

I walked into the bathroom and grabbed a razor, only one thing could take my mind away from this pain. I sat at the edge of the tub and didn't think twice about it.

I slid the cold piece of Metal across my wrist. It stung at first, but them the pain went away. I cut 3 cuts on both writs, coming up for a reason for each one.

I winched as I dabbed a cloth over the cuts to stop the bleeding. I heard the door open downstairs then a lot of commotion. I walked out of the bathroom and right into my room. I through on my sweater and sat on the edge of my bed, thinking. Laura's words repeating in my mind. I started crying all over again.

A confused looking Riker opened my door. Oh yeah, he didn't know I was home, no of them do. Once he noticed my tears, he shut the door behind him and walked over to me. He opened his arms and I stood up.

I started sobbing in his chest. "She was right" I say. It came out muffled, but I guess he heard me. "Who was right?" He asked
"Laura "
"What happened?"

After I told him what had happened, he was not impressed. He tried to comfort me, but it wasn't working. No one loves me. No one. I'm all alone.

* Hours later*

We were outside having a BBQ, and of corse, Laura was here, but that's not going to stop me from telling him. He needs to know that his girlfriend is a cheater. I waited until Ross was away from Laura. He finally got up and went inside. I followed him.

" Hey." I said walking up to him. I watched as he pursed lemonade into two cups. He looked at me for a quick second so he didn't spill anything. " Hey." He smiled a little.

" Umm, I have something to tell you." I said cautiously. I was affirmed of his reaction, he can get really angry sometimes.

" Shoot." He leaned back against he counter, I was getting more nervous. " Umm, well, I was walking home, from school and uh," I started fiddling with my fingers and looked down.
" I saw Laura, with another guy, and they were hooking up." I looked up at him a little. I couldn't tell his emotion.

He didn't speak. " Ross-" he cut me off. " Do you know how many times you have told me that she has cheated on me?!" He yelled. I shut my eyes.
" I'm sick of it! I know you and my family don't like Laura, but that isn't going to stop me from dating her!" I opened my eyes and looked up at him.

" I'm not lying! She's a cheater! I've caught ear her so many times! Ross you need to believe me! She's not worth it!" I yelled back.
"Ross......" That's all I can say before he cuts me off
"Just get out!" He pointed to the door. Angry flashing in his eyes.

I turned around and walked out. We I guess if he doesn't want to believe me, he's just going to date a filthy slut. His problem, not mine.

After dinner I was sitting by myself and Laura and Ross were on a pool chair. " Jordan, why don't you go get us some drinks." Laura says. I scoff as face her.

"You have two legs and a heart beat. Why don't you use them." I smirk.
"JORDAN!" Ross yells.
"What is wrong with you!" He screams.
"I don't know. Why don't you asked her. Apparently She knows" I point to Laura and run.
