Bullied By My Neighbors

Chapter 5

I am on my bed crying. Myles was playing a prank on me this whole time, and Kayla was never really my friend.
I guess I really am the school joke. If I hung myself right now would any body care? Would anyone attended my funeral, if anyone cared enough to do one?
No one would care, Alicia. The tiny voice in my head repeats 24/7.
Then another voice argues: don't listen to him, sweetheart, of course people would care. Your little sister would miss you. Your mum would kill herself to be with you. Your dad would overdose until he was dead too. Then what happens to your little sister. She's too young to take care of her self, she'd be alone with no one to feed her, bathe her, groom her. She would die of starvation. So of course people would miss you, they just don't know how to show it.
That arguative little voice is the only one keeping me going.
A loud knock at my door made me jump.
It's 5 in the fucking morning what could anyone want at this hour?!
The knock came again, only louder.
I faked a British accent "What in the bloody hell do you want?!" I sounded like an old man.
"I know its you Alicia.Uh. It's me John. Can we talk?"
I slowly unlock the door. I pull the door open just a tad and it makes a very loud creaking sound. Like nails on a chalkboard, the sound echoed throughout the entire house.
"Be quiet. Come on in." I quickly but quietly say to him. The screen door is completely silent, thank God.
I lead him up to the guest room. It is the furthest room from everyone else. "What is so darn important?!" I ask annoyed.
"Listen. Okay I know you don't like me, but right now we don't have a choice," he purposely takes a dramatic pause."we are now neighbors!" He completes.
"What you, me and James on the same street?!"
"Yeah. My room is close to yours I believe. We have windows that counteract with each other. So from now on... don't be a fucking bitch!"
I scoff "whatever. Please just go."
" alright. See you later." The door slams shut behind him.
What an ass! He calls me a bitch, when he is the one who attacked Myles on school ground.
I go back to my room and lie down on my Temperpedic mattress. It felt so good to be alone again.
It's all black in my room.
Being alone in a dark room with only your thoughts gets a little scary.
Your new neighbors are John and James. So now if I do hang myself they will most likely witness it.
A thud comes from outside my window.
What now?!
I wasn't surprised to see a sheet of metal Being glued to my window seal. I knew it was a passage for them to get across.
"What in the hell do you assholes think you are doing?" I ask them.
James mouths something but my window is closed so I can't hear them.
I pull my window open.
"What?" I ask
"Obviously we are making something for you to cross over when you and lover boy here actually get together. I know it will happen because it always does." John says.
I close my window and walk back to my bed and I force myself to sleep.
