Befriending One Direction *ON HOLD*

Chapter 8

*Liliana's POV*

*dream/flashback*

They were kicking me and hitting me, burning my arms and legs, slicing my skin in different places.

They were the bullies Sky and I had had since we were little.

The first few weeks of 3rd grade were fine, until Joe, Emma, and Adam started to bully us. (If those are your names, I'm really sorry, they were at the top of my head.)

Emma was the leader of the group for us, since we were girls.

She would call us names and tell us to go back where we came from, that we were losers and no one wanted us here.

We didn't care because we knew they couldn't do anything to us because we all were just little kids.

Over the years they had just gotten worse and worse.

They started getting physical in about 5th grade. Pushing us, and hitting us. They tried to beat us up a few times but we would either sneak out of it, confuse them and leave, or an adult would see and they'd make a run for it.

In 7th and 8th grade they started bringing weapons like knives and lighters.

If they happen to see us outside of school, which included the minute everyone left, they would pin us against a wall and cut our wrists, to make people think we cut ourselves, and burn our arms.

They always bullied me more though because I was so skinny. They would call me things like anorexic or say things like I have an eating disorder. They'd say I would eat then throw it up.

They would say there would be no reason to try and look skinnier because no one would ever love me.

I'm this skinny because I have a really fast metabolism, and I never gain weight. I eat all the time, like all the time, but I never gain any weight.

It didn't help that my gym teacher, during our fitness grams, said my weight out loud in front of them, which was 86 pounds.

After that they called me a good for nothing twig bitch that should just go kill herself because no one needs me.

And the only reason I didn't, was because of Sky. Sky helped me through it all because they bullied her too. She told me that she needed me, that we were going to be best friends forever and she couldn't fulfill that if I wasn't around.

I had gotten the flu one week so I couldn't go to school.

The bullies had made up a rumor that I had killed myself finally. Only a few people actually said they would miss me.

That drew the line for Sky. She stood up them for us, for me. And Sky has anger issues, so she was absolutely pissed off.

She had gotten in a fight with Emma in the middle of the hallway when she went to the bathroom.

I wasn't there so I don't know how to describe it. Sky had said, she asked her to stop messing with her and Emma said no. She turned from her and tried to walk away but Emma took her arm and that's when Sky snapped.

She turned around and punched Emma square in the nose. She said Emma was caught off guard and got knocked into the lockers. She pinned Emma to them and told her to stop messing with her again.

Emma just laughed and pushed Sky off.

She tackled her and pinned her to the ground. She pulled out a pocket knife and held it to her neck. I remember Sky said she said something like "you better give it up, you wannabe goth bitch."
