Sitting in this  room. Looking at these blank walls. Lost in the thoughts that come back every night. Clary fray, Just another girl in Sydney.  Red Hair the color of fire. Green eyes the color of trees. Just like nature.I'm not special, I'm not talented. Hell, The only thing I'm good at is rolling the biggest blunts in town.  I never knew that my whole world could change in a month. But that was so long ago. I look over at the clock and it reads 5 am. Fuck, I have to wake up in two hours. I can feel the scars on my  wrists protruding under my sleeves. Another day, another shitty life.

I get to school around 8:30, Until the bell rings at nine I just sit in the halls, Listening to the saddest music I can manage. But it also makes me a target.

"get up you slut" This is rose. The meanest, but the most popular  girl at Sydney high. She is literally the Regina George of my high school. She has bleached blond hair, and peircing blue eyes That seem to just stare into your soul.

"takes one to know one aren't I right?" I feel her death stare at the base of my head. Next thing I know I am being lifted up.

"listen here you depressed little shit, I get my way and you know it. You do not get to say those things to me. Only I Do. DO YOU UNDERSTAND" she yells in my face.

"nope sorry I must be deaf. Could you say it a little louder" I reply.

"Listen— you know what. You are not worth my while." She says as she lets go of my jacket.

"likewise, Oh wait don't you have your fifth abortion coming up? You should really ask your mom to put you on something. Oh wait I'm sorry, She doesn't know" I glare at her. She stares taken aback.

"how do you know about that?" She states as she walks closer to me.

"Your not the only one who knows how to use a computer Rose. Now I suggest You leave me alone. You wouldn't want that getting out would you?" Wait. Did I really just threaten Rose Kingston? I high five my self in my head, and turn around. I see Him. Calum Hood, And I think he heard most of our conversation.

"You better go control your girlfriend. She's out of control" I mutter walking past him. He grabs my arm and turns me to face him.

"She's not my girlfriend" he states coldly. I can feel the blood rush to my cheeks.

"I---I got to go" I whisper as I walk away.

Finally the day Is over and I can go home were I'm safe.  I am only a couple feet outside the door when I bump into someone. I fall on the ground, I can feel the dry dirt around me kick up into the air. I cant see who it is. There's to must dust. I see a hand and I grab it. I slam into the persons chest. It's a girl.

Once the dust settles and I can see who it is. I run, I run as fast as I have ever in my life. I knew rose would do this. Send one of her little side hoes to get me. Her name is April, I mean its not her real name, but the name Rose gave her. She is very tall, and well built. She could crush a watermelon with one hand. I round a corner to try and lose her. But it's a dead end. I can feel her presence behind me.

" Your wasting my time Clary, Just let me give you a black eye and a couple of bruises, and we both can go our own ways."

"There has to be another way.I'm Fragile, You could kill me. How much do you want. I only have 50 dollars but I could give you more tomorrow."I reason, out of breath.

She walks towards me and holds her hand out. I give her the 50 dollar bill, and she smiles at me.

               "Sweet now I get 50 dollars Plus 300" she laughs as she moves closer.

"Wait she gave you three hundred dollars just to  beat me up !?!" I cant control my anger any more.

"Hey what happened to Mr. Steel? I heard he had an affair with one of his students" I see her body tense. Yes its working.

"we were in love, Now shut your fucking mouth so I can beat the shit out of you." she yells at me.

She grabs a rock off the ground and starts to throw it in the air.

"STOP" I hear someone yell from the back of the alley.

"Detective Smith Reporting a Fight at Cherry Rd Send back up. She's armed. "April drops the rock and runs. Also dropping my 50 dollars. I quickly pick it up. I stand up to look at the cop, But its not a cop. Its Calum.

"uh thank you for that." I stand awkwardly, Kicking the rock I almost was hit with.

"ill add it to the tab, See you around Clary". He states calmly and walks away.

Why is my heart beating so fast, My hands are sweaty and my face is red. What Is this feeling. Oh no its happening again.

I cant let anyone get close to me. Not after everything that happened.
