"Lisa?..." I stuttered, staring at her merciless glare. I was too scared, too done. I looked away and gulped the piece of bread I was chewing.

"What do you think you're doing her with this little kiddo, tom?!!!" Lisa sounded so irritated. "Well why not hangout with her?" Tom asked kinda laughing. Lisa gasped and dodged towards us.

"Well babe lets go I have to show you something!!" She pulled tom away from the chair and outside the room slamming it behind her. I sighed in discomfort. All of a sudden the door was widely opened and Lisa appeared, moving rapidly to me.

"I swear to god if I ever see you again with my future gorgeous husband, I will destroy you!! And give me that bread! It's not from your money homeless " she grabbed my launch and went outside the room.

When did I become so numb?
All the words that leave my tongue feel like they come from someone else.
I'm paralyzed.

I grabbed my bag and ran outside the building. Launch time wasn't done yet which means it's my chance to leave the school..peacefully.. I ran outside to the streets, I had no idea where to head now.

Just now that I felt god gave me a friend..he took him away. He took him away in the worst way.

I headed towards my favorite lifetime cafe. It's adorable looking with a huge teddy bear in it and besides Alexander treats me like a big brother. He is my second miracle after Mindy.

"Oh here comes my Minnie!!" Alex came and hugged me, I gladly gave it back. "skipping school huh? Wait here imma get the usual". After a while Alex came back with my usual order. "Sooo tell me how have you been?" He asked smiling widely.

I wish I was capable of being happy like how you are Alex. It brightens me up..a lot.

"I have been fine. How about you? How's work? Oh how's bailey?" I asked smiling. "I'm great! Work is doing perfect and bailey is more than healthy! Oh here he comes".

I turned around and bailey jumped on me. "Oh boy! Good puppy good boy!" I patted him. "Fluffy more than ever bailey huh! Good boy u kept ur promise" I hugged bailey and soon kept stroking him until he fell asleep.

"Why did you skip school? Though, you should do it more often so we can have this little chats more often. Don't care about you marks eh" Alex said. "ALEX!" I exclaimed. "What? Everything what matters to you are marks. Give it a space." He laughed and I joined soon.

"Will do so" I said kinda feeling happier by the moment. "If so! Come on! Let's go have some fun. And yeah I'm paying for that as usual" he laughed. "Thanks brother from another mother" I chuckled.

—at the amusement park—

"Where next huh?" Alex asked throwing his hand over my petite shoulder. "Umm..I'm actually hungry-" I got interrupted in the most cheerful way. "Yas! no wonder you read my mind!". Alex pulled me to eat some cake. Alex soon forced me to eat more and more. We even made a bet on who's gonna eat more and pay £50 on it. Of course he won but he refused to take the money.

we were heading outside the park but I grabbed Alex by his hand. "What's wrong?" He asked concerned. "We need to go out of here now". I interrupted Alex as I pulled him before I dashed towards the entrance.

"Wait! Nell?" I heard his voice, Tom's warm voice. I ignored it and dashed away with Alex. I felt pain when I ignored him, tho he wasn't alone, he was with Lisa. I ain't risking it today, at least not today.

"Wait! Hold up!?" Alex stopped us in a middle of a street. "Why did we ran till here again?" He asked. I was puzzled. I didn't know what to say! I didn't wanna lie but I still didn't wanna make him know about this yet.

"Ik you wanted to lose some weight Minnie! You should have made me know!" He laughed it off after he saw my face. Deep down he knew there was something wrong. Though I knew he didn't wanna stress me out even more.
"Come on. Let's go back to the cafe." He pushed me to our way.

'Just  don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm'

He always made me feel he was one of the "nice people". I can't help it..

I packed my stuff from the cafe and said my goodbyes to Alex and bailey. 8:28 pm, great I'm screwed. I was heading towards home but all what mattered for me now was "the view". The view of Tom and Lisa together walking towards the amusement park. He was smiling brightly and she was clinging so close to him. It made me shiver, I didn't like it. My "virtual" friend with my bully. Ugh it just bothered me so much.

I opened the door to my house and I was immediately faced by a genuinely faked worrying slap. "Where were you??! You brought shame to us! Such a disappointment" she yelled at me. My sister giggling at the other side.

You will never understand the hell I feel inside my head.

I ran to my room and slammed the door locked. I was in terrible condition, tears were a mask I had on right now, my eyes were red as if I got punched, my lips are chapped, my clothes are torn, my hair is everywhere, everything was just not right.

I didn't bother to fix any of those. I laid on my bed looking over to the ceiling, allowing my tears to flow like a running river. "I believe in you, but when will I receive this happy day. 24/7 one.?" I asked god. No response. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked." I closed my eyes and tried to sleep the pain away.

Pain of mind is worse than pain of body.
