Hideaway // Dolan

Chapter 1

Casey's P.O.V

My eyes are open, all I see is black.

 I have this pain in my chest, so much sadness it hurts. 

Why me? What have I done to deserve such hatred from the world? My throat hurts, have I been screaming?

I crawl to the bathroom and find the light. I'm disgusted by what's in the mirror. 

"You're a hideous monster!" I stop and just think what a freak, talking to myself at 6 in the morning. I decide to take a shower and get ready for school. 

The school has been getting hard for me, I've given up.

I only go now so my mother doesn't start asking questions. With everyone giving me looks and talking, I'm too distracted to even pay attention to my work. 

I don't see myself making it that far so I stopped trying. I don't see myself getting past this year honestly.

I used to be one of the popular kids, I had everything. Now that rumors have spread all I get is hate.

I suppose this is karma. 

"You're going to be late Casey, you need to leave." mom said as I make my way down the stairs and into the kitchen.

 She's a good mom, I feel bad that I've ruined her reputation. I know she hates me for it, she just doesn't show it. 

"Ok, I'm leaving now. bye, mom, have a nice day" I wave as I leave through the garage with a banana. 

I get in the car and start my way to school. I hate this feeling of anxiety every morning. I hope everyone is somewhat over it by now, it's been weeks. 

I pull into the school and get out walking up to the main doors. 

I hear my name and turn around to see a group of girls looking at me. I don't even know any of them why would they feel the need to talk about me. 

"What are you staring at freak!?" the blonde on says as the other girls laugh. 

I turn back around and walk to my locker, it's not even 9 o'clock and I already want to go home.
