The Nobody

Chapter 2

The Next Day

I rolled over to look at the time. It was 5 o'clock in the morning. I still had one hour before I had to get up. Knowing that I wasn't gonna be able to go back to bed I got up and took a shower. It's Friday my last day for a whole week. This week coming up was Spring break. Thank God. I'm just hoping today goes by fast.

I got out of the shower and took my hair out of the towel wrapped around my head and brushed it. I looked in my closet trying to figure out what to wear. I didn't want to wear the same thing again today. I'm about tired of it. I've wore it all year. It was time for something new. Well, besides my jeans. I'm wearing jeans today. Jeans with my flower shirt that is cut off on the shoulders and my sandals that I haven't wore all year. Still brand new. Never took out of the box.

I put my outfit on and decided to straighten my hair. It takes me forever to do my hair because its so thick. But I managed to get it done with time to spare. It was time to walk out the door by the time I got my makeup done. I hurried down the stairs and walked out the door. I didn't have time to talk to my parents or eat anything. I was almost late for the bus. I was nervous to see Travis today. He just basically poured his heart out to me last night. What if he doesn't even talk to me today? What if he acts like he never sent that message?

I walk into the doors of the school and walk to my locker. Instead of having my head to the ground I walked with my head held high. It thought it was time for a change. I mean I already changed up what I wear to school. Might as well change how I walk down the hallways.

I got to my locker and as I was getting my books out someone walked up behind me and said, "Hey there nobody." I knew the voice as soon as I heard it. It was the schools mean girls. But the leader of the group was the mean one. The rest of them just stood behind her and didn't talk. They just did what she said. It was Dania.

"Was that you that sent me that text yesterday?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about," she said. Not even trying to hide that she was laughing.

"How could you? I don't talk to anyone. I've never got in your way or said anything to you or your people. I try to stay to myself."

"I don't care if you didn't say anything to me. I've saw you around school and noticed that you don't have any friends. I thought you should've knew that you was nothing and you never will be."

I slammed my locker shut and pushed through her and her gang of mean girls. As I was running down the hallway I bumped into Travis. I didn't have time to stop. I didn't want to stop. When I bumped into him I dropped some of my things.

"Elizabeth, you dropped something."

I didn't turn to look or say anything. I had to get out of there. I couldn't stay here any longer. I had to leave. I don't care about missing another day. It just makes 2 days. It won't hurt anything or anyone.

I ran in the front door of my house. Noticing my parents were at work I ran into my room and into my bathroom. I pulled out my old friend. Its been with me forever. Still sharp as ever. I took my jeans off and slipped into my shorts. I sat on the bathroom floor and began to cut my legs and arms. I cut till I couldn't feel anything. Till my body was numb.

"Elizabeth, where are you? I wanted to bring you your things. Elizabeth!"

I saw the bathroom door starting to open. "Elizabeth! What are you doing!? Give me that. Get up!" I couldn't get up so he picked me up and carried me over to the foot of my bed. He went and got a wet rag to wipe away the blood running down my arms and legs. I couldn't feel anything. I couldn't even feel him carrying me to the foot of my bed. I sat there staring at the wall while he cleaned me up.

"What was you thinking? This doesn't solve anything."

"It helps me cope with things. It helps me to where I can't feel anything. I don't wanna feel anything."

"It may make you not feel anything for a minute, but not forever. It just leaves scares that you have to look back on later in life. You'll look at them and remember all the breaking points you had in your life. & once you remember all of those, you'll want to cut more."

I could barley hear anything he was saying. I just remember everything starting to get blurry and Travis yelling my name as everything started to spin around.

Then the room went completely black.
