The rest of my day went on as usual. 5th period was kind of a blur since I had a head ache, 6th period was annoying since my ex sits behind me, 7th period was bad cuz Cassy sits across from me and she kept kicking me with her sharp ass red leather "Gucci" heals.

I biked in the bitter cold in just my black ripped jeans and my Twentyone Pilots shirt with about 18 bracelets to cover my scars. I was cold, hella cold. I biked past my ex's house and flipped him off for good old times then I continued on my bike ride.

I got to my new modern home that I absolutely hated. I locked my bike up, went inside and grabbed a quick snack. I miss my old home, I thought in my head as a bunch of other thoughts jumbled around.

I went upstairs quietly so my mom wouldn't see my bruises from today. Unfortunately I wasn't quiet enough. She looked at me with sorrow in her face. "It's fine mom" I said showing some anger. "No its not fine Elena" she said angrier.

"Was it them again?" She questioned me, I stood quiet in my tracks. "Oh God, oh god" she repeated sobbing and gasping like she was dying. I just stared at her I didn't know what to say.

I went to my room and fell asleep to the sound of my own Cry's, surrounded by drenched tissues.
I had dreams about flying and other strange dreams that I can't exactly remember.

I woke up and went to my closet and grabbed some old black clothes and I brushed my hair did my eye liner and got my bike ready to go to school.

I did not want to go to school today cuz of what happened yesterday. I walked into school and immediately saw the fake girls in all hot pink today standing at my locker obviously waiting for me.

But something was different someone else was there with them. It was Evan Smith. He was the hottest, baddest boy in our school. He wore black ray ban glasses, black ripped jeans, with a tee shirt that said "fuck bitches, get money" classic Evan.

I walked to my locker glaring at Cassy who had her hand on my locker. I finally got there and stared down all of them except Evan, I was afraid his hotness would make me go weak.

"Cassy can't we do this lat-" she cut me off "shut up bitch come with us" she said harshly. She grabbed my wrist and tried to pull me to the nearest classroom. I stood my ground and didn't move, I could tell she was getting pissed and I liked it.

She gave up on pulling me and gave Evan the "get her" look. He took one look at me and threw me over his shoulder, my limbs went weak. They followed us to the classroom and Arianna locked the door.

Evan placed me down like I was a feather. I glared at them sharply. "What do you want today?" I questioned irritated. "Listen to my instructions very carefully" Cassy hissed. "Meet us in detention after school or else we'll make your life a living hell." She said quietly. " You already do you fucking bitch" I spat at her shoes. "Ew oh my god what the fuck"

I jumped at her like a cat jumps on a bird. I scratched and slapped her while tears streamed down my face. She motioned Evan to unlatch me from her and that was exactly what he did.

He wrapped his strong around my waste and pulled me off of her. She looked around the room like there was a crowd watching her. "Beat her!" She ordered her minions. Shaylie came at me first and sat on top of me so I couldn't move while Arianna pulled my hair and spat in my face. Evan kicked me in my ribs and Cassy did so too.

They stopped after a while cuz the bell rang. I was left bloody and mad. I walked to the bathroom and washed my face up. I went on with my day and acted like nothing happened. At lunch I sat with my friend Seth and Sage. Seth didn't know about the girls beating me up, but sage did.

I got to seventh period and remembered that I had to somehow get detention so I went up to Mrs. Spurrsberry and told her I hated this class (which I did) she screamed at me with her gross old breath that I had detention.

The bell rang and I packed up my stuff and headed for detention.

Yay.

I walked in and immediately saw them, sitting at a table with one seat left open. Shaylie gave me a look that meant sit down.

I sat down at a table. But not the table that they were sitting at. I know they wanted me to sit down at there table but I refused, I sat down at a different table, away from them.

Mr. Hall walked in and looked at us like we had murdered someone. "Listen you rats, you are to stay here and NOT move, I have some paper work to do in the office, I will be back in about an hour. Do not move".

We all watched him leave and when he did Evan and the girls stood up and walked towards me. " So why am I hear?" I questioned sarcastically "Because we need a favor". "Why would I help you" "because you have to" Shaylie stated. "I don't have to do shit" I muttered. "You do if we tell you to".

Mr. Hall walked in right at that moment saved by the Bell. They all say down and stayed quiet. " I forgot I had already done it so I will be in here the rest of the period" he said under his mustache.

He let me go earlier than the rest because I was the only one being quiet. I was glad to get out of there. I hopped on my bike and ride home in complete silence. I usually listened to music but for some reason I didn't today.

I got home to find a note from my mom on the couch " hey honey! I had a last minute work thing so I will be back on Tuesday. Call me if you need anything, love ya."

Yes I was finally alone and now I didn't have to worry about her seeing my beat up face. I fell asleep on the couch with a bag of lays potato chips on the table and the T.V. was on.

I woke up at 4:00am and couldn't go back to sleep. I decided to walk to my favorite field and rest there. I hopped on my old, falling apart bike and rode to the field. I got there and the sun was rising.

I sat there in the middle of everything and just closed my eyes. A tear rolled down my freckled cheeks and I let it be. I was tired of trying, tired of being strong, tired of my bruises, tired of crying, I was done, so done.

I was drifting away into sleep until something pulled me back to reality. "Help" someone whined, it sounded familiar and faint. I got up to try to find the sound giver.

Hello I said in a shaky voice. Nothing I heard nothing. I started getting scared and I panicked. I ran around trying to find the person who whined. Then I saw a slight movement to the right of me. Fuck. I turned to see a shirtless back hidden in the field I bent down next to him (yes it was a guy)

I turned him over to find Evan Smith staring up at me. His eyes were blood shot and swollen and his lips we cracked and dry. "Oh my god, oh my god" I muttered. "What happened Evan?!?"

"Shaylie and I broke up and her and Cassy and Arianna beat me up and pushed me and cut me and I passed out and woke up here."

He looked like he had been crying. I couldn't just leave him here all alone and hurt, I couldn't do that. I pulled him up so that he was standing and put him on my bike. I pushed him all the way to my house.
