Chapter 3

*Flashback*

"Mommy, Kelly was really mean to me today. She pulled my hair when the teacher was telling us a story and then she said I couldn't hang out with her because I wasn't 7. It made me real sad."

"Aww, I'm sorry sweetie," she hugged me. "

The door to her bedroom flew open and hit the wall on the other side. "What the fuck is this?!" My dad screamed. His face was red and the hand that held the phone was white around the knuckles. He was literally fuming. I bent my head and hid behind my mom's body, squashed between her back and the headboard.

*End of Flashback*

I woke up in the same ball I had fallen asleep in, it wasn't weird, it was normal to me. I could barely see through my eyes which were now reduced to slits that were caused by my crying, my eyes get puffy real quick. 

So, what happened last night? I thought to myself as I slowly sat up.

Okay, weird anonymous text, ah, that was Dan. Uhm, yes! The argument I had with my sister. I groaned and got up, ripping my clothes off and walking straight into the shower. I don't want anymore fucking panic attacks for God knows what!

I relaxed my body as the cold water ran down my body, letting myself fall deep into thought.

*20 minutes later* 

I walked out of my bathroom, my teeth chattering a bit, I probably shouldn't have taken a cold shower, I sighed.

After applying some lotion onto my body and feeling much warmer, I put on a robe and opened my closet doors. Stacks of jeans, tops and other random clothing articles lay on top of each other. I groaned in utter frustration. I didn't want to have to ask May's help when I hadn't spoken to her since last night so I picked out a random black top, a black pair of jeans and a black leather jacket. Too black? I'm not even done.

Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I shrugged, not too shabby and pulled on some black combat boots. 

This is starting to get ridiculous but I'm not yet done. I tied my black waist-long hair into a high ponytail and wrapped it into a messy bun. I swiped some black eyeliner over my lid and applied NYX's Copenhagen shade over my lips and casually walked over to where I had put my phone on charger sometime during the night I guess, who knows? 

I switched off the charger before pulling my phone off, reading off the time as it lit up. 7:10 am. 

And I was going to be late. I sighed and unlocked the door slowly. I heard no noise,  no smell of waffles, nothing. My face dropped a little but I made my way to the kitchen anyway. On the island was a plate with 2 waffles and a pitcher of pomegranate juice. I smiled and made my way to the fridge to get out the nutella. There was a note tho: 'I took a cab, didn't want to bother. I'm really sorry about yesterday. I didn't mean to pity you.' Maybe I won't be late after all. The drive to May's school was 20 minutes from the house, then to my school from there was another 20 minutes, sometimes 30 if there was a lot of traffic, usually ending in me arriving just in time. School starts at 8:00 am but I prefer to be there at least 10 minutes before so I can get my books from my locker and make it to my first class in time.

I frowned at the sloppy apology as I reached the end. I never finish her letters, I frowned. Well, that was something.

You're probably wondering, why am I such a bitch?

I'm not. I just don't like to let things get to me cause it doesn't end well. That's it. 

I unlocked my phone and rolled my eyes, seeing 7 new messages. I opened them anyway, all from Dan. Surprise! How do I feel about this? I don't know yet. It might just be a game. 

'I know you read that.' 10:17pm

'I know what happened and I can promise you, I won't let you go through it again.' 10:49pm

'I'm guessing you're asleep now.' 11:08pm

'Best time to say what's on my mind.' 11:13pm

'You're probably wondering why tf I care. Or why I'm so interested in you rather. I can't tell you exactly why, time will tell. But I can tell you that I've seen your suffering and I know it. I don't want you to have to keep suffering.' 11:15pm

'I kind of wish I could unsend that. I hope you have a goodnight. Stay strong.' 11:17pm

'And a good day too, I don't think you'd want to talk to me, you might have to though. It would be rather awkward.' 02:36pm

'Well,' I thought as I finished reading the texts, 'that is something.' 

Compose yourself.

I locked my phone,finishing the 2 waffles, deep in thought. This guy isn't serious. If he was, he'd stay away from me and my problems. He says he knows my story or whatever but no one does. I mean, the one person who knew left me to handle my shxt on my own so what makes him think he can? How does he know me anyway... Could it be that they were friends. I frowned. No. That's impossible. It can't be. Or can it? I pushed at my temple with my thumb and index finger as I felt a headache coming on. This is too much to think about right now. I still have to go through another day of High School.

I put my plate and cup into the sink before packing up everything. I grabbed my bag by the door before walking out and locking it behind me. Stupid me didn't take Dan's last text into consideration tho because there he was, leaning against the passenger door of my car.
