Anna-Beth's POV
_________________
I've been slowly just stopping I feel like everything in me is giving out. I feel like I'm just here to prove a point. That you shouldn't have happiness that happiness doesn't exist for everyone. I go out of bed to get ready I went to the bathroom after grabbing some clothes I took a shower and brushed my teeth and hair. I got dressed and looked in the mirror. I don't recognize her. Who is this girl in the mirror staring back at me. She has grey eyes pale skin and black hair. She's covered in bruises and hand prints. She looks like she hasn't slept in days. I don't like this me. I hate this me. I put on my makeup and go back into my room to grab my phone and school bag. I climb out the window again I seem to be doing this a lot I guess it's just easier than seeing my parents and earning another slap. I started my walk towards school when someone whistled I turned my head to see the dude from a week ago I started running and heard footsteps behind me. I was to slow. I wish I would've been faster then I would've gotten away but instead I was caught.

*third period*
I walked into class late. When I walked in everyone was staring at me I gave the teacher a fake note I wrote from my parents. I walked to the back of the class and took a seat. I was damaged goods. Completely damaged. To think I could've had a bright future but my parents had to ruin mine. All because I survived a car crash. I just want to die. I was pulled out of my thoughts by the bell ringing I got out of my seat and walked to the door. I walked out and towards the doors to exit the school 'I can't do this today' I thought as I was walking out. Someone started calling my name but I'm sure they weren't calling me and some other Anna. I keep walking until I get to a curb and I sit down. I grab it my phone and earbuds and started listening to music (song above). Then someone sat down next to me. I immediately scoot over. Then the person scoots closer. I really don't want to be touched after what happened this morning. They come closer then I look up and see who it is. It's Joseph Scott.
"Hello Mute." He said.
