Never Be Alone//Shawn Mendes

When I don't get up after my alarm rings, my mom comes into my room to check on me. I pull the old 'I'm sick' lie, and she heads to work. I throw my covers off of me and grab my laptop. 352 views, and 174 comments. My life was basically over. 352 people had seen me, naked, changing before gym. Scrolling through the things that people said, I feel a tear roll down my cheek.

•"What a slut"
•"She probably knew the camera was there"
•"She's too ugly for any guy to 'come and get it'"
•"All the shy girls feel like they need attention, no one even likes her"
•"She looks like a stripper gone wrong"
•"I wouldn't want to come and get it"
•"I'm actually scarred from this"

I curled into my bed and sobbed.

Knock, Knock. I roll over to see the clock, it's 11:37. My grade would be having lunch. My mom was at the clinic. So who could be at the door? I decide not to answer it. Another knock. Then silence. A text pops up on my computer:

Shawn😊: let me in??
Me: um one sec

I jog to the door, wiping my dry tears as best as I could.
