Odelia's POV:
As I breathe in, the cold January air fills my lungs. I clutch on to my pack of cigarettes. Leo hates it when I smoke, but I hate him. He left me. I never thought in a million years I would actually say "Leo has left me" but he has. I thought he was a Better best friend then that, apparently not.The night before, I called him. We spoke very little until he got bombarded by Charlie telling him to hang up and that they "need to go out". After we said our "goodbyes" and "love yous", I cried. For hours. He isn't the reason I started smoking again, or cutting. It's the bullies. Leo thinks all the bullying has quite, but the truth is, it never stopped.
I pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and Inhaled the soothing smoke. I was sat on a wall isolated from everyone in school. No teachers, no pupils, nothing. Only me, my smoke and my music. It was a good way to get away from the bullies.
The bell finally rings, signalling that school was starting. I throw the remain of the cigarette on the floor and slowly walk my way to class. First period was English. Me and Leo used to sit next to each other and mess around, but not anymore. I have been seated next to Courtney, my bully. How cliché. We are learning about "the last moment". A book about a girl who's lover left her and she gets abused and bullied until she kills herself. How ironic, why is it that the topic your learning in class always relates to your real life problems?
I walk in class and drag my feet over to my desk. Courtney was already sitting there, giving me the evils.
"Excuse me" I whisper, trying to get past her chair to sit down.
"You what?" She snarls back, all her friends laughing and encouraging her to say more.
"I said excuse me" I say looking at the ground, "please".
"Don't you fucking dare talk to me like that!! Did you talk to leo like that?? Is that why he abandoned your pathetic self?" I stare at her, tears pricked my eyes, I try to blink them away but it didn't work.
"You fucking little baby" she screams. I step back, trying to avoid any trouble but it's to late. I feel a yank at my hair, tugging my to the floor, followed by a kick to my eye. Everyone was laughing. I got up and ran out.I ran out of school, and kept running until I could run no more. I sat down next to a tree. Crying, i dialled Leo's number.
Leo's POV:
"You sun of a bitch" Charlie shouts as I dance around the room, I had won out 3rd round off Fifa. "Your shit at this mate" I laugh uncontrollably. My phone started ringing, I hopped over and seen my princesses name flash on the screen "Odelia❤️". I picked up straight away.(L-Leo/ O- Odelia)
L- Odelia omg I mis-
I was cut off, distracted by the sobs I heard coming from the other line.
L- Odelia, are you okay sweetheart?? What's wrong.
Silence.
L- Odelia!!
O- Leo
I sighed with relief.
L- baby girl you scared me, what's wrong?? Why are you crying.
O- I miss you
L- Baby I miss you to, is that why your crying?
Even louder sobs were heard.
L- it's not is it?? Baby what's wrong?? You can tell me anything.
O- it hurts Leo
L- What hurts?
O- my head, my eye, my arm. they done it to me Leo.
Tears pricked my eyes.
L- who did? Baby, tell me who done it.
O- Cour.....
Silence
L- Courtney??
She sobs harder. Fury rushed through me as I stood up pacing back and forward.
L- baby I will sort this.
O- how? Your in London??
L- Don't worry!! I love you to the moon
O- and back.
I hung up, tears streaming down my face. How could Courtney do such a thing?? And how could she not tell me the bullying had started again, this was all to much. I walk by my mirror, all I saw was red, then crash. I punched the mirror.Odelia POV:
L- I love you to the moon
O- and back.
We always said that. Every time we hung up or had to say goodbye. I felt guilty that I told him. I don't want him to worry about me. But at the same time I do. He left me when he said he would never, but he is the only person I have. Pulled out my packet and got a cigarette, lit it, leaned my head by on the tree and inhaled in soothing smoke into my lungs.HI GUYS!! Hope you enjoyed my first story!!
