ASPEN'S POV.

We were laying in my bed, just relaxing for once without fighting or being judged.

That is, ti'll I noticed his phone light up.

From: Ethan
To: Grayson

hey man, are you done comforting the slut? mack and i are waiting for you outside.

I blinked a few times, not believing what I was seeing.

They all didn't like me.

This was all just some sick joke.

Even Mack.. My best friend.. Was against me.

I instantly got out of my bed, making Grayson sit up in concern.

"Aspen are you okay?" He looked at me, making my blood boil.

"Oh yeah.. I'm great, why don't you tell Ethan that too." I snapped, crossing my arms.

He looked confused, until I motioned towards his phone.

He looked down, his eyes widening at the text from his brother.

"Aspen listen.." Grayson spoke calmly, standing up slowly.

"No. Grayson I can't do this. I should of known this was all a joke. You and Ethan.. You guys were never meant to be friends with me.. You're just my bullies. And for Mackenzie.. I guess Ethan changed her too, because she's sided with him.." I ranted, tears falling down my face.

Grayson looked helpless, he didn't know what to say.

"I hope you're happy, because now, you've officially ruined my life." I choked out, wiping my tears angirly.

Grayson looked down at the floor, not saying a word.

"I want you to leave." I spoke calmly, trying to keep my cool.

"What?" He questioned back quietly.

"I said leave." I repeated, pointing to the window.

He looked like he wanted to say something but just shut his mouth.

He walked over to the window, not even glancing back at me, then jumping out.

I guess I really did mean nothing to him.

But who was I kidding?

He's just my bully.

**After School**

I had laid in my bed for the whole day, I wasn't crying, I was just numb.

I was alone.

Deep down I knew nobody cared about me, not even my own parents.

They only ever really cared about Kian.

I was laying on my bed staring at the ceiling when Mack walked into my room.

"Hey how are you feeling?" She gave a small smile.

I glanced at her and let out a laugh.

"Yeah right like you actually care." I huffed, sitting up.

She looked at me, confusion all over her face as if she didn't know what I was saying.

"Aspen what are you talking about? Of course I care about you." She exclaimed, looking at me as if I was crazy.

"Yeah okay, did Ethan tell you to say that too?" I rolled my eyes, shaking my head.

"Aspen what are you talking about?" Mack questioned, sitting next to me.

"I saw a text from Ethan sent to Grayson this morning. They aren't our friends.. They're always going to be my bullies.." I sighed, looking down at my feet.

"That little bitch!" Mack shouted, her fists balling from anger.

"I'm gonna beat the shit outta him." Mack growled, her face serious.

"It's okay.." I shook my head sadly.

If only it was true.

I threw my phone down angirly.

Does he really think he can just apologize and everything will be better?

I grabbed my lighter from my dresser and my hidden pack of cigaretts.

Nobody knew I smoked, not even Mack.

It was just me and my death.

I put one inbetween my lips, letting the chemical smoke go into my lungs.

I quickly ran down stairs and grabbed the car keys from the kitchen and went out to the car.

I hopped in, my phone in my lap, my cigarett still in my mouth.

From; Grayson
To; Aspen

wait.. where are you going?! and are you SMOKING?

I shook my head and pulled out of the driveway.

I sped down the street, eventually going on a road that didn't have that many cars.

Tears were falling down my cheeks as my foot pressed the gas harder.

I didn't want to be somewhere I wasn't wanted.

Why couldn't people just let me be alone, and let me be happy.

I kept feeling my phone vibrate, I glanced down to see messages from all of them, Ethan, Grayson, Mack.

From; Ethan
To; Aspen

From; Mack
To; Aspen

you smoke!? aspen what! why the hell are you doing that to yourself? grayson said he saw you leave and speed outta here.

From; Grayson
To; Aspen

aspen please don't do anything stupid, i know you're in a bad mind set right now.

I huffed and let out a laugh.

"Bad mind set my ass." I rolled my eyes, taking a puff from the cigarett.

I pulled the letter out from my pocket, setting it on the seat underneathe my leg.

I sped around the corner, and everything after that was just a blur.

It all happened so fast, the deer ran right in front of me, causing me to swerve.

Right into a tree.
