Hey, it's 2015 me just letting you know that I'm going to start editing some of the chapters and that this one is now edited (kind of).

----Chapter 1----
Hunter silently walked through the hall trying to ignore the insults and dirty looks people were directing at her. Slut was the main one. She detested it when people used that word because the most terrifying night of Hunters life was when she lost her virginity. That was also the first night she cut. She had felt like trash, useless, helpless, unwanted, and unloved and it certainly didn't help that everyone kept reminding her.
  With unnoticed tears shining in her eyes she quickly made her way out of the building, grateful that school was over.
    As soon as she got home she made a beeline for her room and slammed the door behind her. She didn't need to worry about her mom disturbing her because she was never home and her dad only showed up to deliver the child support; claiming that it was better to hand deliver the check instead of just mailing it.
Grudgingly, she took out her homework. Hunter wasn't the nerdist person ever, but she still made decent grades and that's how she wanted to keep it, so two hours of trigonometry and one finished book report later, she found herself in the bathroom looking into the mirror, not recognizing the person who stared back at her.
Hunters face was paler than it used to be and dead brown eyes looked back at her and her hair was darker from not going outside as much as she used to.
"Hunter I'm home!" Her mom yelled.
  With one last glance in the mirror Hunter left the bathroom and slumped downstairs to greet her mother.
  "How was school, Sweetie?" She asked.
  "Great, Mom,"
  "That's good, meet any cute boys?"
  Hunter rolled her eyes. She had had enough of people for a lifetime never mind boys. Hunter didn't her mom about what was happening at school or about being raped. She never told anyone for that matter, so how the entire school found out was a mystery. He threatened to do it again if she told anyone, so she didn't.
"What's for dinner?" Hunter asked changing the subject.
"I don't know yet. You finish your homework?"
  "Yes, Mom," she sighed.
  "Well why don't you take a shower so I can fix us some dinner?"
  She shrugged and went back up stairs.
  Once back in the bathroom Hunter undressed and stared at her reflection again. She had lost a lot weight, but in her eyes she was still fat. New bruises were forming on her stomach from where she had "tripped" and fell resulting in her landing on the edge of her textbook. Her eyes scanned over the scars on her hips and wrists. They were fading; however, most were still fresh from yesterday.
  Sighing, she hopped in the shower having already deciding to take a long one. She kept the water hot but not to the point of it burning, but her skin would be bright red once she got out. The water quickly heated up her cold skin and Hunter hummed contently at the feeling.
  Once she was finally able to extract herself from the heat that the water was providing she immediately regretted it do to the now chilled temperature of the bathroom, so she quickly dried off and threw her pajamas on.
"Dinners ready!" Her mom yelled.
"Coming!" She yelled back.
  Dinner was somewhat awkward since there wasn't much to talk about (there never was) and after what seemed like eternity before Hunter was allowed to leave the table.
  With nothing else to do Hunter stayed up for a while listening to her iPod. She didn't realize how much time had passed before she checked. It was 11:11. She rolled her eyes at the stupid idea of making a wish.
  Soon after Hunter was fighting to stay awake, so she figured it was time to go to sleep. She closed her eyes and felt herself begin to relax as she let the darkness take over.
