The One That Got Away

where it all began

On the way to school all I could hear were the quiet - or should I say not so quiet - whispers of my classmates and people who I thought were my friends. This was my life, all day every day. I tired to block out most of the chatter but a few whispers still broke through... "God she's such a whore. I can't believe I was ever friends with her." "Chris told me she hooked up with over half of the football team and doesn't even know who the dad is..." My mom told me the rumors and whispers would stop but they just seem to be getting worse. I'm eight months along and I tried to hide it for as long as possible but it could only be hidden for so long considering I've been so tiny my entire. I started showing super early and rumors started flying almost immediately.
*TRIGGER WARNING*
Listening to all of the rumors I drift back to the day it all started...
Flash back
It was such a normal day, I was walking home from school, taking my secret shortcut through the woods. Only me, my mom, and my two best friends knew about this path. I had a bad feeling all day but I didn't really think much of it... that was a mistake. I was about halfway through the path when I started hearing footsteps behind me. I tried not to freak out especially since every time I turned around no one was there. I started walking faster and tried to call my mom but my phone had died during fourth period. I started running but I wasnt fast enough. It all happened so quickly I didn't know what to do. I kept hitting him and scratching his face and screaming for help but nothing was working. He caught my hands and then pinned them above my head. He leaned into my ear and whispered "keep screaming, no one's coming to save you. You're just making this better for me." I immediately fell limp and just layed there silently crying, just praying for it to be over. When he finally finished and got off me I thought he would just leave so I layed there waiting for him to be out of sight but he came back... carrying a massive rock. I immediately froze and held my breath. The next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital three days later.
End flash back
I was jerked out of the memory by my best friend, Jessica, screaming my name and pulling me out of my seat. I jumped up and followed her off of the back of the bus. When I finally realized what was happening I started freaking out. The bus ran off the road and hit a tree and was on fire. The next thing I know everyone is freaking out over me. I remember everyone freaking out and encircling me, they all looked so tall for some reason... I heard the sound of ambulances and paramedics surrounding me trying to ask me a bunch of questions but I couldn't understand what they were saying. I woke up in the hospital two days later...
