How did things end up this way?

Chapter 8

I dodged out of the way of the window to avoid the brick. I slowly stood up and looked out of the now broken window. I couldn't see anyone. I thought things couldn't possibly get any worse and yet they have. It must be someone who I know. Who'd want to hurt me though? Then it dawned on me; him. He said he'd get revenge on me and he's currently inside so he's getting other people to do his dirty work for him. I texted my cousin to see if he'd come round for a bit.

To Dappy:

Can you come to mine for a bit? Someone's just lobbed a brick through the window

From Dappy:

Yeah, I'll be there in five minutes.

To Dappy:

Thanks Dap

From Dappy:

It's no bother.

Dappy got to the house five minutes later. I stood back to let him in and he saw for himself the damage that had been done.

"What happened T?" Dappy asked me.

"I honestly don't know. I was sat watching T.V and that came flying through the window" I cried.

"It must be someone who has a grudge against you" He replied.

"Well, you don't say?" I replied, sarcastically.

"Look, do you want my help or not?" He snapped at me.

"Yeah, sorry" I mumbled.

We sat for ages trying to work out who it could be. My Mum was out at the moment so she didn't know about the window. I texted her to tell her and she replied a few minutes later.

From Mum:

I'll sort it when I'm home

To Mum:

OK yeah that's fine. Oh and Dappy is here as well

From Mum:

OK fine

I locked my phone and got me and Dappy some drinks. Suddenly, I received a text, that wasn't very nice. in fact, it was quite creepy. I deleted it and chose to ignore it. I kept getting more and more of them and every one I deleted, there was more being sent. This kind of behaviour was starting to creep me out now. Who was this person and what did they want from me?

A couple of hours later.

I was still getting the texts. They were getting freakier and freakier. It got so bad I showed it to Dappy.

"What the fuck? Who is that dirty bastard?" Dappy gasped.

"Obviously someone who knows me" I replied.

"Well, I'd never have worked that one out for myself" He laughed.

"No but seriously, these messages are freaking me out Daps" I told him.

"Give me the number. I'll find out who it is" He answered.

I gave him the number and he texted it asking who they were.

To ??:

I don't know who you are but you leave my cousin alone!

From ??:

Your cousin who got my mate locked up for rape you mean?

To ??:

She did what?

From ??:

Oh I take it you didn't know that?

To ??:

No I fucking did not!

He turned to face me. He took a deep breath before he started to talk to me.

"T?" He spoke to me.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"Why didn't you tell me you'd been raped?" He asked me.

"I didn't know how you'd react" I admitted.

"You could have come and spoken to me" He told me softly.

"I know, I'm sorry" I cried.

He pulled me in his arms and gave me a hug. I lay there for ages just crying my eyes out. Why does all the bad stuff have to happen to me? Do people really hate me that much? Why can't something just go right for once? I just want a normal life and I want to be happy.
