Back to School

(Authors note: this chapter deals with a heavy topic. Just a warning. The characters in this story are just that, characters.)

-----(Maddie's pov)----
I mustered up enough strength to go to school today. Nick stood by me every step of the way, except when we had to go to different classes. It wasn't that bad really, people just kept calling me names. Until last period. I had class with Nick and Lilly. She actually showed up, surprisingly. I was sure she would skip today. I instantly felt sick to my stomach. It was like Nick could sense that because he reached down and gave my hand a reassuring squeeze. Why was he being so nice to me? I know it probably hasn't been easy. We walked over to our seats which were right next to each other.

-----(Lilly's pov)-----
I had so much fun shopping with Andy but I had to come back for my detention. I wouldn't want to risk getting it extended. The more time I had to spend here, the less time I had to spend with Andy. It was now nearing the end of class and I saw Nick and Maddie sitting in there seats, I couldn't help myself. After class I decided to get revenge on her. The one who ruined my 'no detention' streak! The one who ruined my reputation with the principal! The one who stole my crushes heart away from me! I quickly pulled out my phone and sent an anonymous mass email to everyone in our grade. Then, I went out and headed towards my detention room to see the results of what I had done, with the worst people at this school. Detention was mainly filled with the people who didn't want to be at school, the rocker kids, the druggies, the ones who have been to Juvie multiple times, and then people like me who were just victims of other people's slyness. She got me thrown in here. She did this too me. She must feel the consequences.
----(Maddie's pov)-----
I was about to head out with Nick when my phone went off. Everyone's phones seemed to go off. This sparked my curiousity. What was going on. I pulled out my phone and saw I got an email from an anonymous source. The email was literally anonymous@yahoo.com. I opened up the email and my face immediately dropped. I can't believe it! I knew this was Lilly's doing. There was no other way anyone could get these pictures! How could she! I know we are not on the best of terms right now but this is just low. I grab my bag and run out of the school, tring to ignore people's stares and harsh words. Tears were stinging my eyes and ignore ran to my car. I heard a voice yell my name, probably Nick, but but didn't stop. I just sat in my car sobbing. When I could see again, I turned my key. But before I could leave Nick got into my car.
"MADDIE!" Nick half screamed, half begged, "Stop! Don't drive like this! Let me drive you home."
I wasn't listening, I turned the key and started driving. I was driving up to a bridge near my house, it overlooked a river. It was my safe place. It was where I went to get ahold of myself. Nick stopped fighting, he just kept an eye on the rode, on red alert to take control of the steering wheel if he needed too. I pulled over on the edge of the rode, right before the beginning of the bridge. On the land next to the bridge were a bunch of flat-ish rocks that made a sort of stair-like path down to the river. I went and stood on one of the top rocks. One one side my car and the bridge. On the other side, a drop of around 20 feet into waters of around 15 feet. It could all be over. I could be free. I could escape. I looked down at the water. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. I could get away. I'd be at peace. I heard a faint voice yelling my name but, I didn't register who it was. I didn't care either. Slut. The word rang in my ears constantly along with a bunch of other words. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut. Slut.
That's all they were, words. Heavy words. Harmful words. DEADLY WORDS.
