Dont Leave Me

One

I wake up to no parents anywhere to be seen, which meant my older brother was in charge.

"Rosie, wake up you need to go to school." He says rudely and sternly already starting my day off badly.

I plop out of bed and walk to the shower. I get dressed in a black tee shirt, some dark distressed jeans and black flip flops. I leave my hair down and straighten it.

I walk back downstairs to my brother who was eating a whole bag of chips at once.
"Get your ass to the buss, Delilah." Noah can drive but he makes me ride the bus, He doesn't care about what happens to me at school, no one in my family does.

As I walk onto the bus many paper projectiles fly at my face and laughter surrounds me. I shyly face down and sit in the seat alone not looking up for a split second. I was to scared someone would see my face and begin starting their insults.

When the bus arrived at my school it got worse. People called me an attention seeker because of the cuts up my arm, they didn't understand why I did it. It sure as hell wasn't for attention it was because of them and the trash of a family that own me.

I continue to walk with my head down into the door and to my first class. I didn't care anymore, I heard people whispering around me and I knew they were talking about me but I didn't mind anymore.

A couple hours later which seemed like forever school was over for the weekend and I wasn't excited. I'd rather be in school than stay home with my family. The thought of going home made me sick to my stomach, I wonder what I'll get beaten with this time, A baseball bat? Belt? Only god knows.

I walk into the door and my mom pulls a ball of lettuce out of the fridge.
"Dinner." She grumbles throwing the lettuce at me. I drop it onto the floor and lock myself in my bedroom.
My thoughts began taking over me, no one understood why I was the way I am and my parents Hated me.

I smash my razor on my dresser and let the sharp pieces fall. I pick them up and roughly slide them all across my arm at once, deserving the pain and enjoying the stream of tears that fell. I smiled through it all thinking of one of the girls who hurt me most, Madison.

"DELILAH ROSE, GET OUT HERE RIGHT NOW YOU BRAT!" my brother yells informing me its my time.

"What now, Noah?" I sigh.

He smacks me across the face. "You don't back talk me." He slaps me again and I can feel my cheek burning.

"Why is your shift bloody?" He smiles lifting my sleeve up. "Ahg, you did the right thing Rosie." He leaves me alone, one of my wishes.

I grab my penny board and skate to my Sisters house who lived not to far away. Its my senior year in highschool and she finished a year ago.
She was the only family member of mine who hated to see me hurt and actually loved me.

"Aww, Rosie!" She smiles inviting me inside.

Her boyfriend sits on the couch watching TV. "AHH NO!" he stomps his foot.

I look at her confused. "Football game." She explains. "Oh." I half smile.

"Delilah..." She says as if she's trying to get my attention but she obviously didn't need to try she already had it.

"What?"

She points to the white shirt that's becoming red as she tears my sleeve apart to investigate why I was bleeding. Her eyes become watery and glassy and she puts her hands to her cheeks.

"Rose, why?" She shakes her head and pulls me into the bathroom so she could clean the cuts.

"You already Know, Tayler." I didn't want to get to deep into things, it makes me upset.

"Your staying here for the weekend." She demands and I shrug.

"DELILAH!" Kian yells from downstairs.

I run downstairs to see why he called for me.
"My best friends moving in with us and he's going to your school, you should help him around." He says looking onto his phone. He must have been texting the kid.

"Who?"

"Justin." He answers and I nod.
I'm sure it'll be another guy who ignores me.

"OK." I agree although the guy wouldn't want my help, I'm sure.
Everyone thinks I'm a crazy freak.
But I'm sure if they lived the life I do, they'd be the same way.

"Okay, bedtime." Tayler says in a motherly action.

"Okay, mom." I chuckle and lay on the couch as her and Kian make their way upstairs.
I close my eyes a fall asleep.
