I'm sorry that it's taking so long to update, I have writer's block and it won't go away >:( Anyway, I finally got a new idea for this chapter. Here it is, hope you like it! Love you all :*

~2 weeks later~

I managed to avoid Lisa and her crew but I knew that they'd find out I'm here again soon. Vic is with me as much as he possibly can. The only times he ever leaves my side is when we're in different classes and when I'm sleeping. I didn't mind it though. Vic hasn't taken Mike's advise about flirting with me yet, which kind of annoys me. Allot. I will not be the first person to make a move though.

I was sitting in the back of the classroom, drawing Vic's name in big bubble letters (I know, it's stupid. But don't you dare judge me!) When I heard My name being called. I looked up and saw Lisa standing there with a smirk on her face.

"Paige, Lisa said that Mr. John needs you." My teacher Ms. Adams told me.

I closed my notebook and grabbed my things then got up and walked to the front of the class. I exited to class and started heading toward the music class when Lisa grabbed my arm.

"Where do you think you're going slut?" Lisa asked.

"T-to Mr-Mr. John's class." I stuttered.

"I don't think so. You're coming with me." Lisa replied as she started pulling me toward the bathroom where she last beat me.

"Please don't hurt me Lisa! Please, I'm begging you!" I yelped as she stopped moving and smacked my notebooks out of my hands.

My doodle notebook opened up to a page where I drew a very triggering picture of cuts and scars. There was a faceless girl with hair covering most of her face and she was standing with her arms out so you could see her wrists. Her thighs were also visible and almost everywhere on her thighs and wrists were cuts, blood, and scars. Lisa laughed.

"Well, well, well, I always knew you were a stupid emo but I didn't know that you drew what you do on paper. Lets see what else you have in here." She said as she grabbed my notebook off the floor.

"No!" I almost yelled as I tried to lunge at her but I was being held back by her best friend.

"I don't think so," She said with a smirk.

She started looking through my pictures, occasionally laughing then she came across the doodle of Vic's name.

"I knew you had a thing for him, I think it's time to really ruin your life. Let her go , now, goodbye Paige." She said as she started walking off after dropping my notebook.

I let a tear fall from my eye as I picked up my notebook and start waking toward my locker. I put all of my stuff in my locker then excited the school. Who knew what Lisa was going to do next. Tears began to fall onto the ground as I walked forward a bit, not knowing where to go.

My train of thoughts crashed when someone grabbed my hand. I turned around and Vic was there. "What's wrong? Who do I have to kill?" Vic asked. I just fell into his arms and sobbed into his shirt.

"V-Vic, c-can, we go to th-the park a-and s-sit do-down some-somewhere?" I asked him.

"Of course we can beautiful. I still need to know who did this to you so that I know who to kill." Vic replied. I looked up at him. "do you want me to carry you?" I nodded.

Vic picked me up bridal style and started walking toward the park. I played with his hair for about a minute but most of the time I just hid my face in the crook of his neck. I inhaled and instantly smelled cinnamon. How could someone be this perfect? I knew one thing for sure, he'd never like a girl like me . . .
