Stuck In The Dark

Chapter 14

I woke up about 5:30.

"where are you going?" Luke asked.

"Home to get ready, we have school" he sat up looking at me.

"Or we could lay here all day" I gave him a smile.

"I would love to, but we have missed too many days Luke we are going to get in trouble" he moaned and got out of bed.

"okay let me get ready and I'll take you to your place" I shook my head and laid back down watching him get ready.

'Did you see what Sarah is saying about you!!!! #rude'

I looked down seeing a text from Emily. Sarah Is this girl in our school who likes to pick on everyone. She is  literally Regina Gorge.

'no..... what is it?'

Emily sent me a link leading to some website. On the website was a fake picture of me with bold letters saying, "I try to kill myself to get boyfriends". The next picture "Breaking News Ella paid everyone on the football team to have sex with her" Next picture "Ella gets all her clothes from the dumpster" Next picture "Kill Yourself slut". I threw my phone on the ground crying harder than ever. Luke heard me and ran to me.

"Ella what wrong?" he begged for an explanation. I pointed to my phone and he picked it up. His eyes followed picture by picture. I saw the veins in his arms tense up. He looked up at me with a death glare.

"WHO DID THIS?" he yelled.

"Sarah" he turned around punching a hole into his wall. I sat there with tears in my eyes.

"Luke it's okay I" he cut me off.

"Go get in the car I'll be there in a sec". I ran down stairs. The house completely silent now. I turned on the radio. Nothing good was on.

'Are you ok? Emily texted.

'Of coarse!' I replied. But I lied. I just have to try an ignore it.
Luke jumped into the car and drove off without saying a word. He seemed mad the whole ride.

"Luke don't be mad, it's not a big deal. Just ignore them. At least they aren't saying anything about you" he started to calm down.

"Ella I'm not worried about what they say to me. I care about you. You shouldn't be treated like this" I crossed my arms acting like I was sure about what I was going to say.

"I'm not worried about what they say to me" he looked over at me not believing my lie.

"Please don't make this more difficult Ella" After I got ready we pulled up to the school and I got right out of the car. We were parked in our usual place and Cory, Brin and Emily were already there.

"How are you doing?" Brin asked me.

"Oh I'm just being more difficult apparently" I said sarcastically.

"Look El that's not what I meant you know I" I cut Luke off before he could say anymore.

"Okay I get it. I don't want to talk anymore okay. I'm tired of fighting. I'm tired of everyone constantly asking me if I'm okay. I will never be okay. Get it. I just don't want to be here anymore" I walked away realizing what I just said. I didn't mean to say that last sentence out loud. Now they are going to worry even more. I haven't exactly had suicidal thoughts but I can tell I keep getting worse.

When I got to my locker it was full of papers. In huge black print wrote the words, slut, whore, ugly, die. Everyone in the hall way just stood there. Some laughed. A huge hand reached over me ripping the papers off. I turned around to see Luke. I took a deep breath and walked to the bathroom. I sat in the crying. I heard the bell ring so I knew no one would come in.
