Hurt

chapter 18 • everything

I felt powerful I felt so many emotions rush through me it was amazing, people are finally saying nice things about me. They recognize me as 'the one who confronted the witch' they finally recognize me as Macey not a depressed girl.

People call that confrontation 'the beauty VS. the beast' I don't know why but I don't care, I finally confronted Ana without begin scared.

"And there she is the one and only Macey" I turn around and see Cole, Matt, Lizzy and Izzy they were all smiling at me.

"Where's your leader" I turned my head to see if she was behind them or behind me, i looked up in case she had a bucket of paint again or worse worms.

"We wanted to apologize for what we did" Liz says while playing with her hair.

"We didn't want to do it but Ana was threatening us, she was going to tell the school our deepest darkest secrets" Izzy finishes it was like a twin power.

"And since we were all cowards we helped her, but it went out of hand" Matt was cut off by Cole

"When she started threatening you with the 'stay away from Alex or this an that would happen' and we were all scared because she actually wanted you to commit suicide and that's when she told the whole school your secret and when she threw paint on you, we don't know why she did that and who helped her because we didn't know she was going to do that" Cole takes a deep breath and I run and hug him.

I turn my head around and see that all my friends were just standing there doing nothing but stand.

"Get in here guys" they all smiled and hugged me.

"Wait-" I look at Cole and he was confused.

"How didn't you know Ana was planning all of this just to hurt me ?" I asked them

"She knew that we wouldn't help her so she probably did all the planning by herself, when the paint fell on you and Ana was laughing hysterically I pulled her to the side and took her outside and yelled at her telling her why she would do that" I nod and I finally say the thing they wanted to hear.

"I believe you guys. Friends?" I put my hand in the middle and Coles hand was on top of mine then Liz's, Izzys, and Matt's hand we all look at each other and say 'friends' all together

We all throw our hands up and that's when the bell rings we all say bye to each other and I head to history. of course Anas in that class and Alex who I really don't want to talk to. It just seemed really awkward today.

I sit in my regular seat and guess who sits next to me. It's the bitch who thinks that can walk all over me aka Ana.

Alex still has to sit In his assigned seat so we were a few desk away but I honestly didn't care. He was acting differently today.

"Today we are going to learn about the art of Shakespeare" I look up at Mr. Fitzgerald and hes talking about Shakespeare or something like that.

I look back at Alex and hes not paying attention to the teacher, he zoned off or something. Is he mad at me for kissing him or something, in my defense I only kissed his cheek or is he mad because i almost killed myself, yeah it's probably that, he probably thinks I'm a psychopath-
