A/N: This chapter is really short, but please enjoy! :D
Social media was a haven for me, like a safe place. I would forget all my worries once I was on social media. For some, it's music, art, reading, sports, writing, whatever but for me it was social media. Unfortunately, it was one of the things in my life that Melissa and her clique had destroyed.
I was just checking my notifications and whatnot when pictures and videos of me crying suddenly popped up. I looked at the comments below one of the pictures.
@prettierthanu: Wow! This is so priceless! Karen actually cried! Best day ever! Score one for Melissa!
@blueskies: Tell me about it! I thought I would never see her cry, but she did.
@flowerpower: Look at what she's wearing. Like, that is so last season! The clothes don't even much. She's such a loser at everything.
The comments went on and on. Wow! I never thought things could get any worse, but they have. What did I do wrong? I was just living my life like a normal person and Melissa's aim was to ruin my life. I was sick and tired of all this but I couldn't stop this, could I? Suddenly, I had a brainwave. I could print those comments and show them as evidence if I could muster enough courage about the bullying.
Over the next few days, Melissa and her client continued making spiteful comments about me. They really hurt and I don't know why I continued reading them, but I did. The comments I was printing were getting more and more everyday.
Melissa and her clique continued bullying me and sometimes used objects to hit me. Melissa even found out about my cutting which became more frequent everyday. I just told myself to put up with everything that I was going through with the hope that things would get better and eventually, Melissa would get tired and stop bullying me but I didn't know how much more I could take.
