When you left [COMPLETED]

~10~

Before you start this chapter , I'm sorry to say that this is supposed to be the chapter after the next chapter ! I've accidentally published wrongly . Please forgive me !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FLASHBBACK

I become nervous . There are butterflies in my stomach . Hearing that deep and firm voice of Mr Brooks , calling out the names of the people I know one by one , I can die from the tension .

"Stephanie Roseline Cooper ." At last , my name is called . I try to get up from my seat but my butt is stucked onto the chair . When I am 'released' , I perambulate to the teacher's desk , forcing my wobbly legs to walk confidently like a model . Mr Brooks glares at me while I take the paper which decides my future . With shaky hands , I return to my seat . I open the folded paper little by little . I take a peek . I can only see the full mark , 100 . I pray to God , hoping that my Science Exam paper result is above 75 , just like last year . I fight with my nervousness and open it fully .

I failed . 49 out of 100 marks .

Thats it . I ask permission to go to the toilet . Without anyone knowing , I climb out of the school gate .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I run , never knowing my destination. I just want to escape from the living hell . I cry non-stop and enter a deserted alley . I am lost . I don't know where I am . My eyes meet with a man wearing a uniform .

"Wh-who are you ?" I ask . He is very suspicious and is looking at me , from head to toe .

"I'm not going to school . I don't wanna school anymore . And hey , you look great . Lets play a little bit ," he says with an evil smirk on his face . Suddenly , he holds my hands tightly and ties it with a rope . Gosh , where did I bring myself into ?

"P-PLEASE DON'T HURT ME ! PLEASE !" I beg him , screaming at the top of my lungs . However he does not listen and laughs instead . He tries to take off my clothes .

"H-help ! Someone help me !" I scream . A few seconds later , I see a figure , and I am pushed away from the man .

"How dare you try to rape a girl like her !" a man hisses to him , beating him like a total expert . At the next second , the guilty man becomes unconscious .

"Are you okay ?" he asks me .

"I'm fine . Thanks -"

Oh . My . God .

Its Michael . He ... saves me ? He's my knight in shining armour ?

"We're fated to meet again , right ?" he chuckles . I grin .

"Michael , thanks for saving me . But now I need to go , so , goodbye !" I say quickly and try to run , but he grabs my arm .

"Not so fast , gorgeous . A date as a reward ?" he asks playfully .

"No ! Of course not ! Why not my number ?"

"No need to do so ."

"Why ? Do you already have my number ? Since when did I give you mine ?"

"No , its because I believe that we'll be fated to meet again . Oh well , see you again , princess !" he says and escapes like a whiff of smoke .

I smile . He's funny .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My mood have just rise for a moment until I reach home . When I enter , the first thing that I see is my mother hugging another man . My mood drops drastically . I slam my bedroom door purposely and cry . I quickly find my penknife which I bought yesterday . I cannot take it anymore . I hate that sight so much . I slowly slit my wrist , thinking about the cruelty of life . I watch as crimson blood race out of my wrist . Goodbye , world . That is what I wanted . To die .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Can't you stop being a burden ?" my mother asks me , shaking my body agressively. I wake up . I thought that I will die , but instead , I am in the hospital . She stares at me like I am some sort of sh*t . I scan for my bag . She must not know my results . However , before I can find it , she holds up the paper .

"What is this , Steph ?! Is this even your results ? How can you fail by one mark , Steph , ONE MARK !"

"B-but Mom ..."

"Shut up ! I don't want to listen to your excuses ! I have already sell your phone because you slack so much ! If you want to buy a new phone , go and buy the one with the buttons ! No more smartphones for you , Stephanie Cooper !"

"How could you do this to me !" I cry . My phone is my life . I think that the reason of me carrying on my life its my phone . I cry as I see my mother throwing my smartphone onto the ground and stepping on it .

FLASHBACK ENDED

I cross out yesterday's date from the calendar . Its been a month since Mila left and started my hardships . I have locked myself in my room for two days already since I got discharged . No one is there to pass me food , so I have fasted for more than 24 hours .

Yes , I want myself to starve to death . I have been considering suicide after all these things .

I lie down on my bed , staring at the ceiling . What have I done wrong until I receive this kind of treatment ? I thought of what happened during this month . Firstly , Mila left . Then , I got scolded by Mom everyday . After that , the auditions . Fourth , Jake left . Next , Allie became upset at me . Then , my sister left , leaving me tortured by Mom and lastly , the exam results .

Ugh .

The cutting doesn't work , I tell myself . I must die , but I didn't .

Time for Plan B .
