Falling Apart

Chapter One.

Evelyn
I sat on the floor as silent as possible hoping that they weren't there. I was sitting on the floor of one of the bathroom stalls in the girls bathroom. I heard the bathroom door open and tensed.

"Evie....." A sing-song, sweetly sick voice said. "Come out, come out where ever you are...."

I held back a gasp and slowly and quietly climbed on top of the toilet seat. I tucked my knees into my chest, hoping that she would walk by my stall without noticing me.

"Evelyn...." She said, walking in front of the stalls, she started to knock on each one.

If your wondering who that girl is, that's Kayla Jameson. Biggest bitch and most popular girl in the school, also my biggest bully. Her and her friends Layla and Hayla, I know, stupid or what, never, ever leave me alone. Its like its their mission to wreak my life. Not that its not working, basically the whole school hates me, except for Amy, but that's another story.

"Okay, guess she's not here," Kayla said sounding slightly annoyed. I heard the bathroom door closing. I was about to open the stall door but then I stopped. Slowly and quietly I looked under the stall to make sure that Kayla was gone. She actually was!

With a sigh of relief I opened the stall door and walked over to the sink. I splashed some water onto my face to cool myself down. Just then the other two stalls opened and walked out? None other than Layla Hennesy and Hayla Burke.

"Look who finally decided to come out to play," a voice said from the bathroom door. Kayla. My face started to go red. How had I been tricked so easily? "Evelyn," Kayla said walking towards me. "Im talking to you!" I didnt say anything and didn't look up. "Evelyn!!" Just then Kayla snapped. I felt a sharp pain across my left cheek. Instictively I put my hand up to my cheek and looked up.

Kayla smirked when she saw my face. Then she looked at her nail. "You made me brake my nail!!!" She exclaimed outraged. Hayla and Layla walked to either side of Kayla. Kayla huffed and turned to her 'friends'. "Deal with her," with that Kayla turned and walked out of the bathroom. The last thing I remember before everything went black was Layla and Hayla smirking.

*Flashback*

Cold. Thats all i felt as i sat on the bare floor of my bedroom. Even at a young age, ten i knew a lot about the ways of the world. Creak. "No, no, no, no, no," i muttered. "Not yet, not now." The creaks kept coming.

"Evie," a gruff voice said opening the door. I backed as far as i could into the corner. I heard a growl and cowered, shaking in fear. "Come out darling...."

"Go away daddy," I squeaked. My daddy was drunk and angry as always. I had heard him and mommy fighting downstairs. I could hear him getting closer, i felt more and more fear with every step. I heard a roar before my head slammed into the wall. White light shined behind my eyes, trying to opened my eyes, i failed and eventually slipped into darkness

Why? That was my only thought as I awoke on the bathroom floor. I sat up. Why me? Why does it always have to be me? I still don't understand why she does it. What did I ever do to her? My own mother loves her more than she loves her own daughter? 'Oh lets go bring Kayla shopping,' my mother said almost every weekend. They went out shopping while I stayed in my bedroom unnoticed.

I felt a tear roll down my cheek. Brushing it away I stood up from the cold tiles. I walked over to the sink and splashed some water onto my face. Letting out a sigh I walked over to the door where my bag had been flung.

As always Kayla and her minions had timed their attack perfectly so that I would be awake just before the bell went for the end of lunch. Anger bubbled up inside of me but I knew that I couldn't let it out, no matter how much there was.

As I walked out of the bathroom I could feel everyone's eyes on me. There goes the freak, they said. They were all whispering hateful and spiteful things. I did my best to ignore them, but no matter how much I pretend it always hurts. Keeping my head down I walked over to my locker. I quickly got my books out just as I heard the bell ring.

"Hi Eve," a voice said from beside me. I relaxed a bit seeing Amy.

"Hi Amy," I said smiling slightly.

"C'mon lets hurry before Mr. Walker kills us!" Amy said grabbing my arm and dragging me with her. I let out the slightest of chuckles.

Your probably thinking, 'I thought she said no one liked her?' Well your both wrong and right. This girl is Amy, the girl I mentioned earlier, my only friend.
