That morning I skipped into Mrs Weavers room. Her eyes lit up when she saw the smile plastered on my face.
"So what's the reason for the smile on your face." She beamed as I sat opposite her desk.
"I just kissed Brad." I smiled.
Her eyebrows raised urging me to carry on. "He phoned me last night and I told him I never want to talk to him again and he asked me to walk to school with him one last time." The bell interrupted us.

She smiled yet again. "You better get off to lesson Elly. I'll see you tomorrow?"
I nodded, still smiling and left the office. As I walked down the hallway to first period, Martha caught up with me.

"Hey girl how are you today?" She chirped.
"I'm good thanks."
"You seem it."
"I think I have a chance with Brad again."
"What? No way!"
"Yeah we literally just kis-" my stomach jumped to my throat and my breath hitched.
Brad had some girl pinned up against his locker. His lips were attached to her neck and her fingers ran through his curls.
Martha clutched my jumper to pull me away from the heart wrenching scene in front of me. I ripped my arm away from her grasp. And ran away. I ran down the hall and through the courtyard. When I reached the fence at the bottom of the grounds I found a gap and climbed through.

Erin's PoV

"See you later guys!" I called to the guys from my front yard. I made my way upstairs and into my room. I grabbed my computer and sat cross legged on my bed. I opened Tumblr and scrolled through my feed. My screen covered with a blue screen indicating I had a Skype call.
I looked down at the ID. Elora365.
I answered and my heart dropped when I saw her.

"El..." I barely stuttered out her name.

She had her makeup running down her face and her breath was laboured.
She was sobbing her eyes out. "He keeps playing me." She cried out.

"Who does?"

"Brad. He doesn't care about me. He never did. It's a repeat of mum isn't it." He words were barely audible.

"Babe, slow down. What time is it there?"

"Half nine."

"Why aren't you at school?"

"I ran out of the fence."

"Why?"

She took a deep shaky breath. "From Brad. He's a dick and I hate him! But I love him so much. And I'm just- argh!"

"Babe, what'd he do?"

"We kissed and he told me he loves me and less than half an hour later I see him going at it with some blonde girl." She screamed into her pillow.

My fists clenched. "Babe get some sleep okay? Don't do anything stupid."

She sighed and muttered a 'love you."

"I love you more. Get your thoughts together and we'll talk okay?"

She nodded and the line went dead.

Brads PoV

I was walking to last period when I realised I hadn't seen El all day.

"Yo Brad!" I looked over to see Jace jogging over.
"Lacey's throwing a party at 9. You coming?"

"Yeah man."

We did a bro-hug and went to lesson.

Halfway through English, the receptionist walked in.
"Bradley you are needed in reception. immediately."
I grabbed my stuff before following her to reception. When we walked into the huge room, I noticed Eloras dad on the waiting seats. He stood up when he noticed me.
"What have you done Brad?" His eyes were red and let out tears.
I quirked my eyebrow.

"Els in the hospital."

I felt my stomach twist.
"She overdosed and collapsed from malnutrition."
