The Next Step: The Next Generation

How... (2)

Jake's P.O.V.

"I will not let you go!" I yell tears fill my eyes "I can't!"
"You will be better off without me" she says calmly.
"No I will not! Jessy you're my sister! I promised myself to protect you... I failed, didn't I?"
Silence. It's awful! I always thought that she was fine, but she really wasn't.
Sudddenly she sits next to me, holding on to my arm real tight laying her head on my shoulder.
"You didn't... you couldn't" she whispers "Nobody could"
"You can talk to me"
"I know, but I can't... It will get worse"
"No it wouldn't"
"Yes, it would. I don't want you to get hurt."
"I won't, I promise"
"Don't promise something you can't keep"
I didn't know what to answer. I don't know what happened to her, who did that to her and why. What I know is that this person will regret it more than anything else!"

Riley's P.O.V.

"How is she?"
"I don't know... she doesn't talk to anyone."
"As long as she's safe"
"Jake is with her, he will not leave her side"
"Em... I am so sorry"
"No Ri, stop it. It's not your fault."
"Just know that we will always be there for you"
"I love you, sis"
"I love you too"
After that we hung up.
I am still in shock. I never thought that something like that could happen to my family. It seems unreal, like a nightmare. But it's not.
"Riles? You're doing better?" the soft voice of my husband pulls me out of my thoughts. I slowly nodd. "It's just really hard"
"Of course it is. But we will all get through this." I smile lightly at him, he comes over taking me in his arms.
"Good morning" a sleepy voice calls from the other side of the room.
"Hey sweetie. How did you sleep?" James asks Liv.
"Not at all." she says sitting at tthe counter "I just couldn't. I mean how was I supposed to?"
"Hey, it's fine." I tell her.
"I just keep asking myself what would've happened if Lisa and I didn't where there at the right time."
"Just don't. You were there at the right moment. You know how Lisa is doing?"
"Max told me, that she doesn't talk to him about it or to anyone. I think everybody needs their time to process this. And everybody has a other way. On the one hand they're people like me who talk it out and on the other hand there are people like her who need some privacy. It's normal."
"I am proud of you" I tell her and she smiles at me.
"Thanks mom"

Jessy's P.O.V.

"Jessy, please tell me what happened or I'll never leave your side again." my brother beggs.
"I can't ... I want to, but I can't"
"What am I supposed to do? I want to help you!"
"I am so sorry."
"You didn't do anything wrong!"
I feel tears streaming down my face.
I grab my phone which is laying on my bed. I unlock it. I am shaking. I open my messages.
"Here" I hand it to my brother...


Jake's P.O.V.

You're such a crybaby.

Nobody likes you.

You're ugly.

You're dumb.

You think you can dance, sorry to tell you... you can't

You're just in A-Troupe because they're feeling sorry for you. Well I don't

Everybody would love it when you're gone.

The world would be better.

I throw the phone on the floor and stand up. The only thing I feel is anger.
"Who did that?" I yell.
"I don't know"
I was about to explode, when the door opens and my parents enter the room.
"What's going on in here?" my mom asks.
"Please tell them." I beg.
"Okay..." she whispers
"It all started when I got in A-Troupe last year.
I suddenly became texts saying I am not good enough, but I didn't care... at first. But after a few times it started to get to me. I don't know why. I mean I never cared what anyone thought about me, if they don't like me they can stay out of my life, right?
But when you get the those texts every single day, you start feeling that it might be true.
Behind everything is some truth after all. The texts didn't stop and they got worse.
And one day I couldn't stand it anymore" she tells us crying "and I did this" she rolls up her sleeve revealing some scars.
"You cut yourself?" dad asks in disbelief
"I am so sorry. It was the only thing that felt right."
"It's okay" mom tells her.
"No it's not!" I yell "How is it okay when someone makes her feel like she isn't worth to life?"
With that I storm out of the door, running out of our house. I need some air.
I still don't understand why people are like this. Why would someone bully another person... for no reason. It's true, humans are awful.
And whoever did this to my sister I will find them and .... I probably shouldn't say that.


A/N new update, even tho nobody cares at all...

I will only update if I get at least 3 comments.
So I'll never update again, because nobody likes this book.
So bye :D
