In Another Life

Flashback Pt.3

Online

Diane's P.O.V
My phone buzzes, indicating a text message.
'hey. Sorry about the fight yesterday. That was my fault.' Jessica. I smile, that wasn't really a fight.
'its okay Jess, don't worry about it. It was stupid and didn't mean anything.'
She walks into my room. Smiling and skipping.
"Were you just waiting outside my door?" I laugh.
"Yeah." She laughs back. She lays down beside me, and I lay down with her. Both of us looking up at my black and white checker board ceiling.
"Were you really mad at me?" Jess asks me.
"Jess!" I say, sounding more angry than I meant to, "you ate the last cupcake." I start to laugh.
"But you didn't have any of them." She whines. I laugh at her child like voice.
"Jess." I sit and and pull her up with me, "it's a cupcake!" I laugh and she starts to laugh too.
"You're my sister, it's going to take alot more to get me angry at you." I say, smiling at her.
"Good!" She says, grabbing me into a hug.

       "Girls it's time for supper!" Jessica looks at me with a frown and puts down the bottle of Cotton candy pink nail polish that she was using.
"But I only have two more nails." She whines at me.
"Knowing you, it will take you until everyone is finished their supper to finish those two nails." She looks at me with an angry look and gets up and walks downstairs. I follow right behind her.
"Jessica! Don't be mad I was just kidding." I say. She turns around in the step under me, and looks up with a smirk on her face.
"We're sisters it will take worse things to make me angry at you." She says, quoting what I said just a few hours ago.
"Bum!" I say, running past her into the kitchen.
"Slut!" She yells back laughing.
"Jessica!" My mom yells at us.
"That was rude!" She says calmly this time.
My dad is looking at us with a confused and slightly disguised look. Jessica and I both laugh at him.
"Diane and Jessica!" My mom yells, trying to get our attention.
"Sit down and eat." My dad scowls.
     We stop laughing immediately as if someone has pressed a mute button, and sit down.
     We all eat in silence. The only sound is the sound of forks on the plates and chewing. Which is highly disturbing.
"So, today," Jessica starts to say. The whole family looks up at her with angry looks on their face. I look at with a confused look, it amazed me the amount of confidence she has.
"Nevermind." She says and looks down at her plate. We all continue to eat in silence.

   After supper, Jessica and I run up to my room and quickly shut the door. She takes her place back at the foot of my bed an continues to paint her nails. I take a seat in my lime green desk chair and open facebook.
     I have three notifications.
Margret Shellah tagged you in a post.
Jane Smith tagged you in a post
Fred Royce tagged in a post.
    I select the first one first. It opens into a long post with my name at the top.

     Diane Hanes,
We were best friends in elementary school... Until you did something and I decided we could no longer be friends. I said that day, I will get revenge. Well now the Time has come. The list below is all the reasons you should kill yourself.
One- you are ugly.
Two- you are fat.
Three- you are useless.
And
Four- you are evil and deserve to die!
Please think about these things
Your love,
Margret.

"That bitch!" I scream.
"What?" Jessica says, jumping and almost knocking over the nail polish bottle she was just using.
"Read this. That slut!" I yell, handing her my phone.
It only takes a minute to read it, and when she's done, she hands me back my phone and gets out hers.
"Jess, what are you doing?" I ask her, worried she's going to do something.
"Just shut up!" She cries. "She deserves to get into trouble for this!"
"Jess, please dont do anything that you will regret." I get out of the chair, and sit down next to her, looking over her shoulder at her phone screen.
     She is on Margret's Facebook page, commenting on the post about me.

You are such a bitch, how could you even say something like that! You don't think she has feelings, or that your going to get in trouble for this!? I don't understand!

    She is still writing the comment, when I turn away and get out my phone, opening the post Jane tagged me in.
"There's more." I say to her.

Hey girl
Just wanted to say that that bleach incident that happened last week, that was my idea. Hope you enjoyed!

"Ugh." I huff.
"Let me see." Jess says, holding out her hand for the phone.
"Go to Jane's Facebook."I tell her already opening Fred's

GO KILL YOUR SELF!

"And Fred's." I say. I cant keep my eyes off of Fred's post, I sit down on my bed and drop my phone. Jess is already at my side.
"What did I do to get this much hate?" I tilt my head so I'm looking at her.
"Some people just don't understand." She says, looking sympathetic.
"Don't look at me like that." I say, she ignores my words, and continues talking.
"I've already reported all three posts, for cyber bullying." She says, looking out my window at the big maple tree In the front yard.

"Girls?" My mom asks, knocking on my door. "Is everything alright?"
Jessica gives me a look and I mouth the words, 'dont tell her.' she nods her head and walks to open the door. I grab my toe to make it seem like I stubbed it.
"It's fine mom." Jessica says, looking over at me, she smiles. "Diane just stubbed her toe."
"Why were you saying Slut and bitch?" My mom asks.
Jessica thinks before I do.
"Oh! We were watching Netflix, the characters got in a fight." She blurts out.
My mom starts laughing and shakes her head.
"Just keep it down." She closes the door and walks away.
I huff and drop my foot. It makes a loud bang off the floor and Jessica stifles a laugh.
"Ow!" I scream.
Jessica comes and sits next to me.
"So what are we going to do?
***************
This chapter was really hard to write because I've never bullied anyone or been bullied this severely, so I don't really know how to write it very well, it was also very fun to write as well, because it was a new experience for me.
 
I really hope you liked this chapter. Don't be a silent reader!! Make sure you comment corrections and what you think so far 😊 Make sure to vote too! It would mean alot.

Merry Christmas by the way!!! 🌲🌲🌟🌟☃☃
