Sup. It's Amber. {My Original Character Story}

It Hurts, but its okay.. I'm used to it.

~~~~~~~~~Continued Story~~~~~~~~~

I went to sleep. The next day, I got up and did the usual, I went to school, but early this time. And I mean early. I woke up and 4:00 and left home at 5:00. I left a note in my parents bedroom so that they wouldn't worry.

'Please don't worry. I just went to go get some food so that i don't have to make my lunch. And so that I'll be at school on time. Please don't tell Paisley or Jackson. I don't want them to worry.

~Amber'

That's what I wrote on the letter. Of course it was a lie. I made my lunch the night before so that, again, I wouldn't get to school late. Also, so that I don't get abused by Paisley and Jackson.

Once I got there, I saw two other boys I thought I reconized. I put them in the back of my mind. I went to walk past them and into school. I wasn't looking where I was going, I lightly bumped my side into the edge on the left door of the entrance of my school building. I wished they didn't, but the two boys noticed and started to walk towards me with worried looks. Once they got close enough I could see this faces. They were Jeffery and Liu Woods. I started walking away, but they followed me.

Once I got to my locker, they were at least two yards away from me. I opened my locker and I saw a lot of notes. I picked up one and read it. My gentle, but hurt eyes turned to be filled with water and my tears glazed my eyes. What I made out made me happy, from all of the other notes.

Hey. How are you? I hope you're doing fine. But do you have any idea why people are bullying you? I saw you go to the girl's bathroom and come out with you're hair wet. I'm not a creep I just have a locker near the bathrooms. Are you okay? Did someone hurt you or were you just stressed out and need to have some water on you so that you can relax? Please, I want to know if you're alright. Can you please talk to me and my brother so that you can get whatever you need to get off your chest and talk about it. Please. I want to help.

~Liu

I felt eyes looking at me or looking over my shoulder. I turned around to see Jeffery and Liu looking at me and my water glazed eyes. They looked at me with concern. "Hey. Are you okay? You seemed really hurt from lightly bumping into the door." Jeff asked me with slight concern in his voice. "Yeah.....I'm fine. I saw your tweet last night. Why are you not....bullying me like everybody else......does?" I asked while stopping the tears from coming out of my eyes and down my cheeks. I heard Liu reply with "Because we aren't like those people. We want to help. You talk about it to us if you want?" "No. I'm fine." I 'reassured' him. "No you're not, Amber. Tell us wants wrong. We're your friends right? You can tell us." Jeffery argued with me. "Fine. If you insist. Follow me. There's this one place I'm most comfortable with." I replied, walking to the back doors of the school while the brothers followed behind.

Once we got to the spot I was talking about, we were behind school, and by a tree at the edge of the forest that circles around my school. "So, you want to know why I reacted so much from lightly bumping into a door?" I asked them while leaning up against a tree. "Yeah." Jeff replied with. "Well. The cause of it was scars. And I'll tell you where the scars are from since you'll probably ask. It was from my brother, Jackson, and my sister, Paisley, from abusing me. Now I'll probably......die." I said with a little sadness in my voice. I didn't hear Jeff or Liu say anything back. Then I looked up with a little closed-eyed smile and said "It hurts, but it's okay.. I'm used to it." "How is it okay, Amber?! You're being hurt by your own siblings! Don't your parents know?! More importantly, why did you say that you were probably going to die?!" Liu yelled at me. I still kept the fake smile on my face while trying to fight back the tears rolling down my cheeks. "It's okay because I'll probably die either way. If I told you or not. My parents don't m ow about it. And the reason I said I was probably going to die is because they said tha-" I was cut off my Jeffery grabbing my wrist and pulled up the sleeve of my hoodie. "They said that if you told anybody that they would hurt you worse than they already did. Hell they'll kill you. Didn't they?" I heard Jeffery say as he looked at the scars covering every inch of my right arm. I slowly nodded as Liu did the same as same to my left arm looking at the fresh bloody marks that were made less than a day ago. "Why would they do this to their own sister?" I started to lightly sob. I snapped my eyes open when I felt four arms around me. I saw Liu and Jeffery hugging me as comfort. 'How about we make sure that you don't get abused as much as possible and we stay near you? Alright, Amber? We don't want you hurt. We're your friends and remember that." I heard Jeffery say to me as I slowly nodded and they let go of me.

We heard the bell ring in symbolance that school was starting that day.

We did the usual, but when lunch time came, I went into the part of the forest behind our school and ate there with Jeffery and Liu. After we ate, I went farther into the forest and grabbed a stick. I started to scratch myself without thinking for a minute. Then I came back to reality and looked up a tall tree. I started climbing it and this time, I was thinking. Once I got to the top, I looked down. I was at least 30 to 50 feet in the air. I smile and closed my eyes. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes to hear a fimillar voice yell to me. I looked down to see Liu yelling for me to come down. The smile a had faded into a frown. I started to cry again.

I looked back down to where I was going to land if I jumped and then looked back at Liu. He had a desperate look on his face and tears that were telling me not to jump. Then I jumped. Not off the tree, but to each lower branch. Once k finally got to the bottom, I imidiently fell on the ground from being tackled in a hug my Liu. "Please, Amber, don't die. Neither me or Jeffery want you to." I heard Liu cry into my shoulder. "It hurts, but ots okay. I'm used to it." I mumbled while Liu got up and he held a hand out to me which I took and he helped me up.

After the 'event', j went home not caring about the rest of school. When I got home, my parents were there and they asked me why I was home early. I just said that I didn't feel well. Then I went upstairs to my room, smiling.

I fell asleep without bothering to take a shower, go on social media, changing clothes, or putting my phone on the charger. I loved having Liu and Jeffery as friends. I hope we can stay like this for as long as possible.
