Chapter One | Not So Welcome Home

"Jealously can drive people
insane."

After two years, I've decided to come back. I couldn't bare to think about the past again, after my family found out that I got expelled for a ridiculous lie that Becky made, they disowned me. Right away they disowned me. No second thoughts. Not thinking why I would do it. Nothing at all.

No more 'Hey sis!' or 'Sweetie' or 'Honey' or 'Layla-bear' it was just 'Layla'.

When the whole school heard about it, many were skeptical at the time but as time went by they accepted it. Damn right they accepted it like a hug when you haven't seen a loved one in a while. It was eventually everyone's cup of tea, gossiping about me and not about Becky.

No one believed me, my best friends believed me for a while but as Becky spread rumours they accepted it like every damn person in the school.

My at the time boyfriend barely talked to me, which I could understand, one night I found out that he slept with the witch. I was so young and naive at the time so I felt heart broken and betrayed, like a thousand needles stabbed my heart.

I was a sophomore at the time and you know I believed in love. He was a egoistic, clueless and an arrogant player.

My teachers started giving me more work than the others and kept giving me glares.

No one could see the truth under that lie. No one could see how broken I was. No one could keep their mouth shut about me. No one could ever love, trust or respect me. Just no one.

Later on that month, I was diagnosed with severe depression. My mind wasn't thinking about grades, drinking and partying like any other teenager, I was thinking of death and how the whole world hated me and wanted me dead. I had trust issues as well, I lost confidence. I lost self-esteem. I lost hope.

I took therapy for a while which helped a bit. Later on the school year where Becky kept spreading even more lies about me, how I took drugs, I slept with many boys etc. I let it brush off for a while until she went too far.

She went to the principal office reporting that she found her best friend unconscious in the girls' locker room and suspected that it was me. Why? Because when Gina, her best friend, woke up she said that I beat her up to let out my anger on Becky.

I didn't hate Becky at the time, I knew she was popular and a witch but I didn't hate her then. But I loathe her now.

I've never been to the girls' locker room, maybe twice or so but I disliked being there and my best friends knew that but they told the principal that they saw me on that day going in there. I for sure wasn't bipolar or had two different personalities.

Later on I found out that my suppose BFFs were helping Becky on her mission to expel me. Why? I also found out that because Amy's, my ex-best friend, crush told me he liked me.

Amy and my other ex-bestie Gabby, planned to get rid of me from their group. Man, jealousy drives teenagers crazy.

My parents sent me to rehab thinking that I'm an addict. They thought I was using marihuana which I thought was ridiculous, but rehab sent me back a two days later. After that they tried moving me to other schools which didn't work because of the stupid lie.
