Don't give up on me

Chapter 2

School dragged on forever.

During lunch. I eat by myself in the library.

I can't face them. It just hurts to think about them.

As soon as the final bell rings I rush out of the school.

"Where do you think you're going?" I hear Ashly say as I am pulled into an empty classroom.

I finally look up and stare into her eyes.

She gasps at first when she sees the bruise on my face but she quickly hides her shock.

"Do you know how much you have cost me?" she asks me.

"What I have cost you?" I say. I laugh bitterly.

"You were my best friend. My only friend. And what do you do? You go and fuck my boyfriend! So go have him! I don't want him anymore! Go screw around but leave me out of it" I say.

Then I feel a sharp pain in my cheek.

I look up at her. Then she tackles me and just starts punching me over and over again. "Ashly! Where are you, babe?" I hear Jason ask.

"God Ashly! Get off of her" he yells as he walks in with the new kid. Jason pulls Ashly off of me.

"Are you trying to get kicked out of school?" Jason asks Ashly as I stand up. I wipe the blood from my nose.

"She yelled at me! She was talking shit about us!"Ashly says.

"Bullshit! I said you can take my him! But keep your fucking drama and love life away from me" I say as I spit blood out of my mouth.

"You better get out of my sight before I kill you!" yells Ashly.

"Gladly!" I push past the three of them and start walking home.

I get about a mile and a car pulls up beside me. I look and see Drake.

"Let me give you a ride." he says.

"No thank you. Go away."

"I had nothing to do with what happened. I want to help you. No one should be treated like that." he says.

"Just go away. I don't need you hurting me too. Just leave me alone" I say as I start walking up my driveway.

I walk into my house and find my dad passed out on the ground.

I shake my head an walk upstairs and into my room.

I go into my bathroom and clean the blood off of my face and hands.

I walk out into my room and lay on my bed. I start doing my homework.

About an hour later, I hear heavy footsteps coming up the stairs.

I stood up when my bedroom door bangs open.

"Why is the house not clean?" my dad yells.

"Y...You never told me to clean it." I say. He slaps me in across the face and I go flying back and hit the wall near the window.

I look out and see Drake in the room acrossed from my next door.

He is looking at me wide eyed.

Great! Just what I need right now!

I shake my head and turn back around.

As soon as I turn around I get punched in the stomach. I hunch over.

He keeps hitting me until I can't see straight.

"Next time I tell you to do something do it" he yells then leave my room.

I just sit there by the window. Tears streaming down my face.

I can't take it anymore... There is only one thing I can do.
