There we were, me and the one and only Jack Avery. Entering school, holding hands walking down the hallway. Having all eyes on us. I look up at Jack and he looks like the happiest man on earth. His beautiful smile, and his expression is one of the happiest I've seen in my whole 17 years of living. And there I am, drooling over him. The schools most popular boy, dating me. It has to be fake. "I love you Taylor" he says. "I love you too"I say. He then kisses me and pulls away immediately wiping his mouth. "What's wrong, was the kiss too much?" I asked worried. He then breaks out laughing and then Daniel, Jonah, Corbyn and Zach come up behind him laughing as well. They start pointing and laughing at me. "Did you really think I like you"Jack says wiping his tears from laughing to much. "Wait what? I knew this wasn't real. You just played with my feelings, for you and your dickhead friends to enjoy and laugh about" I say crying. "How could you possibly think I'd like a loser like you" he says holding up and L to his head. Then they all hold an L to their head and started chanting loser. "LOSER, LOSER, LOSER". "NO STOP, LEAVE ME ALONE" I yell at them falling to the ground.
"NO NO NO" I yell waking from my dream. What happened. I look at my nightstand, it's 5:45. I unplug my phone and scroll through Istagram. As I'm looking. I see a post from Aspen, she was kissing Jack. I felt my heart sink. I started to feel tears coming down my face. I shouldn't like my high school bully, I shouldn't cry over him. I shouldn't cry over how my ex- best friend is dating the boy that I love. And she knew. She always has. And all she does now is bully's me with him. And after she realized what she's done, she comes to me saying sorry, and how she feels so bad. She asks for forgiveness. And I give it to her. I shouldn't keep forgiving her. It's for the best. Even if it will hurt me, because deep down me. I know she was my best friend and still is. I hear knocks on the door. "SWEETIE, ITS MOM. JUST WANTED TO WAKE YOU UP AND TELL YOU IM LEAVING RIGHT NOW SO IF YOU COULD PLEASE DROP OFF YOUR SISTER TO SCHOOL." My mom yells through the other side of the door. "Ok mom" I say in a not so cheery mood. I stand up and walk to my vanity. I wipe my tears and start doing my makeup. I am pretty good at makeup if I say so myself. The thing is, I don't wear that much makeup to school because someone always points it out. So I filled in my eyebrows, put a little bit of mascara on my already long lashes. I didn't wanna do foundation because I wanted my cute freckles to pop out. And then I just put some chapstick since all my lipsticks are either nude colors or really dark ones. After that I put my clothes on....

After that I let my naturally wavy hair down (it's like the picture, but the hair is more brown. Oh and also that girl, she ain't Taylor)

I went downstairs to find my little sister on the couch watching Sing while eating her cereal. It was the scene where Meena was singing hallelujah. As I was in the kitchen pouring myself some cereal I started singing along. Everyone told me how much I had a great voice, but since everyone lies to me. I didn't believe it. When the scene ends and I stop singing I turn to look at my sister. And she looks so surprised. She was shook. I gave her a confused look "what?" I said letting out a little giggle. "You sing amazing"she says astonished. "Ok sureee" I say a little bit annoyed. "I'm being for real Taylor, you have a really good voice. You always have" she says sitting down straight giving me a serious look. "Ok whatever you say Emma" I say letting down a huge sigh. I look at the time on my phone. Ok it's time to go. I quickly finish my cereal and me and Emma go to the restroom to brush our teeth. After that we got our bags. I got the keys and stepped outside closing and locking the door.
-TIME SKIP-
We got to Emma's school and I dropped her off giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Have fun and don't get in trouble" I said kissing her cheek. "Noted" she said opening the door. "I love you!" I said/yelled. "I love you too sis" she said and got off closing the door. I saw her walking up to her best friend. Isla Avery, yes. Jack Avery's little sister is best friends with my little sister Emma. "What a coincidence, they said" I said to myself giggling then letting out a slight sigh.
-TIME SKIP-
I got to school and locked the door to my car. I entered the building and walked over to my locker I got my books out and put some in then I walked into the old locker room. Basically our schools football team trashed their locker room, so they rebuilt another one to the other side of school. So this is just an always empty room. Your not supposed to come in here but I always do to hide from Jack and his gang. They can't come to this side of the hallway anyways cuz they have no hallway pass. I is somewhat smart! I've been picking it up and making a livable room since sophomore year. So about 2 years now. And I mean, I've done a good job. I sat down on the carpet while I was on my phone. I then heard someone open the door. I looked up from my phone and saw Corbyn. I quickly started backing up. "Don't worry it's jut me" he whispered. He then walked in and closed the door. "What are you doing here. If you came here to let out your anger and stress in life on me, go ahead and get it over with" I said tearing up. "No no no. Look....... I'm sorry for bullying you" he said sincerely. "Oh so your apologizing now. After 12 fucking horrible years of bullying me. You say sorry now." I said crying. "Taylor, I need you to believe me. Let me explain what actually happened in those 12 years. Ok so Jack really likes you, and I'm being for real. We only bullied you in 1-4 grade cause we thought bully's were cool. And in 5th grade me and the gang thought about how much we harmed you. We honestly felt bad. We were planning on apologizing and becoming friends with you. But Jack, didn't wanna let that happen. He thought you would never forgive him for bullying you and you would hate him forever. So he wanted to continue bullying you thinking that it was gonna make him stop liking you. But it never did. He still likes you Taylor. Look I'm here to make peace with you. I'm done feeling guilty." He said tearing up a bit. "Ok you wanted to be friends since 5th grade. Why didn't you?" I said a little moody. "Because Jack kinda forced us too and well he told us. That if we didn't bully you. He would bully us. I mean, idk why Taylor. But even though he does this to us, I still feel like he's my brother, my best friend." He said crying a little bit. "I feel the same way about Aspen, she bully's me with Jack. And then comes to me after all she's done. And says sorry." I say leaning my head against his shoulder. "She doesn't mean it" he says. "Wait, what?" I asked confused. "She never has, she just does that to feel better about herself Taylor. After she's done saying how sorry she is. She comes tells us how stupid you are to believe that she's truly sorry and laughs and calls you names" he said looking down. "You know Corbyn, I like Jack. I always have. And I felt stupid for that. I just don't know what to say right now. I'm in shock." I say. He turns me to face him and pulls my chin up. "You don't have to say anything" he says and then smashes his lips onto mine. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON. It felt so right but felt so wrong. I kissed back. That kiss felt special, like more than special. We backed up to catch our breaths. "I'm so sorry, I just couldn't resist myself. I probably seem like a jerk right now"he says. "No don't worry, i liked it. I mean, I like you, I mean- I'm sorry" I quickly get up with my bags and leave to my locker. I open it and look at myself in the mirror. Ok good my mascara isn't ruined. I quickly just wipe my tears but someone closes the door to my locker so hard and so fast it hit my head. "Ow what the fuck"I screamed. I turned around and it was Jack. Oh no. "Did you just scream at me slut?"he said angrily. "Ummm......I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you. Please don't hurt me"I said tearing up. "YOU DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO YOU BITCH!" He screamed at me. "JACK LEAVE HER ALONE" someone screamed. We both turned to look who it was. Corbyn. Oh geez. "Corbyn, what are you doing?" Jack asked annoyed. "I'm not gonna keep bullying her, I don't care if that means that your gonna have to bully me. I'm done with you bossing me around. NOW LEAVE TAYLOR ALONE!" He said. Jack let go of me and just walked away pissed. I quickly ran into Corbyn's arms. "Shhh, it's ok. It's ok. I won't let him hurt you anymore. I promise" he said comforting me. The words kept repeating in my head, i won't let him hurt you anymore. "Never again" I mumbled into his shoulder.
