Bullied by 5 seconds of summer

Chapter 8

Luke Hemmings was my fathers new mangers son. This can not be happening, my bully would now be in my house and have one more thing to bully me about. I faked a smile and as nice as I could make it I said "hello, welcome to our home. Ill take your coats and you can make yourselves at home".

I take their coats and hang them up in the closet and set the table. I use dads fancy plates and silverware that we usually only use for thanksgiving and christmas, then I set out the food which to my surprise dad cooked, he never cooks. Im usually the one that cooks, I didn't even know that he could cook.

We all sit down and dad pours wine for the table. "You have a lovely home Christopher, and your daughter is absolutely gorgeous," Diana says. My father thanks her for her comments and begins to serve the food. As we start eating Luke kept glancing at me and back down to his plate.

"Samantha, what school do you go to?" Diana says in attempt to start some form of conversation between the table.

"I go to Stromlo High School, the same as your son ma'am," I say as I continue to toss food around my plate to make it look like I've been eating it.

"So you know my son! Are you guys in any classes together or in the same grade?" She exclaims excitedly now that she has hit the jackpot for conversation.

"Yes we are in the same grade, I'm in art, history and advanced physics with Luke. He is very smart and a very nice kid to everyone," he looks at me puzzled but grateful that I didnt call him out for bullying me.

After dinner father sends me upstairs with Luke so him and Diana can talk about business. We go into my room and I make sure the door stays open. I go into my closet and change into a sweatshirt and a pair of athletic shorts. I come out and realize my legs are covered in bruises and cuts. God, i hope he isnt going to looking at me.

I sit down on my bed and he sits down on the couch beside my bed. "Hey, thank you for not throwing me out in the middle of the open by saying that I've bullied you," he says while undoing his tie.

"Its nothing, I'm not an asshole. I know that's not something I should be telling your mom," I say turning on the television. I hear Luke sigh and pull out his phone.

Without looking up from his phone he says, "You deserved it. You know the bullying. The beatings and what not."

Im shocked that he even had the audacity to say that. I must have looked like an idiot cause I was starting to cry. It hurt, everything they have ever done to me has hurt. I couldnt take it anymore. I was going to explode. "My mom left when I was little, the only thing I have left of hers is that white dress you and Calum ruined. She only left that with a note saying for my sixteenth birthday. I moved here the same year you did. Yet you chose to enter a group and bully me with them. How long are you going to bully me? Till I kill myself? Like Ashley did, or how about Rachel or Elliana. Those girls have all killed themselves due to one of the other boys in your group. You act like I don't know what you guys are doing. Im the victim and it ends now. You guys will stop hurting me, or else I will kill myself."

I was fully drenched in tears, I was shaking horribly and I can't believe that I had snapped. Luke had approached me and was rubbing my back.

"We've pushed you to the point of death? Yeah we've been picking on you for a few years but its all been in good fun. We werent trying to hurt you," he says. It actually disgusts me that he thinks it was all in good fun. I push him away and he looks confused. I stand up and take off my sweatshirt revealing my cuts and brusies.

He stands there shocked looking at my body. "This is all in good fun? Ive cut myself multiple times trying to remove your pain with my pain. I have brusies because every Wednesday I get beat up after school. I come home covered in my own blood. Thats all fun and games though," I say as I point to every cut and bruise. As I go to put my sweatshirt back on he grabs my arms and inspects my cuts touching each one and counts them.

I push him away and I put my sweatshirt back on. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know we did this to you. Where did you move from." He says as he sits down on my bed. He isnt making eye contact so I knew I made him feel bad.

Diana had called him down about a half an hour later to leave. I said my goodbyes to him before he left my room. I walked into my bathroom and took a shower and put on pajamas and went sat in bed.

I pulled out my laptop and caught up on new music like panic at the discos new album Pray for the Wicked and Charlie Puth and Imagine Dragons. I just kept thinking about what I had said to Luke. Was he going to tell the other boys? What had I started? It couldn't be good whatever it was....
