Chapter 19 - Secrets Revealed

15 Days Later
Kayla's POV

"Hey slut! Did you have fun being a whore for once? I bet you begged him, begged him not to stop. Hahahaha" A group of kids laughing and pointing at me as i walked past, the tears starting to fall.

I shot up to a sitting position in bed. Another bad dream  I think as i look over at my alarm clock. 12:40 AM. I sigh as i lay back down knowing that I'll most likely not fall back asleep.

I decide to go on Twitter since it was no use trying to sleep. Opening up the app, I see that I have 15 new notifications. One of which caught my eye: Robert Pinnik mentioned you in a post.

I tap on the notification and it takes me to his post. It shows a picture that read “Think of the biggest slut you know...

What did her left leg say to her right?

Nothing.... they never meet.

:D”

Underneath the picture he had typed, This is sooo like @kaylapraceffa

The tears start to fall as i re-read the post. I sigh as i turn off my phone and lay back down. After about what feels like a eternity of laying there wide awake crying, my alarm finally goes off.

I wipe away my tears before getting out of bed and getting dressed. I go to my bathroom and wash my face. I look into the mirror and just stare at my reflection.

I hear scratching at my bathroom door. I can't help but giggle through the tears. I open the door to see Lark sitting on the other side with her ears pirked up like she hears something.

I sigh as I pet her head. "Oh Lark, why did they have to find out?" I ask her like she can actually respond. She looks up at me with a look like she wants to understand but she can't.

I feel my phone buzz in my pocket and I look to see that I have a text from Rose.

R: hey, how are u?

K: I'm just peachy

R: r u sure? Cuz the way uve been acting at school........

K: I SAID I'M FINE OK?!

R: Ok. Ok. Jeez. Keep your pants on

K: ............wow...... way to help the situation rose

R: omg I'm soooo sorry kayla. I didn't think about it till I had already sent it.

K: SAVE IT! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE FROM NOW ON WILL YOU?! ALL YOU'VE DONE IS MADE ME FEEL WORSE!!! SO JUST LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!!

I turn off my phone and head downstairs for breakfast. I stop at the bottom of the stairs, wipe my tears away and force a smile on my face before walking into the kitchen.

"Hey Kayla. Sleep well?" Daniel asks as I set down.

"Yea" I say, lieing straight to his face.

He nods just as Joey hands me a plate of toast and scrambled eggs on it. "Thanks Joey" I say as he nods before turning to make himself a plate.

After the bus drops me off at school, I see Rose waiting for me by the door. I remember what she said and I feel the anger boil up inside me. I continue to walk past her into the school. She turns to follow me. "Kayla WAIT" I hear her call after me.

"Leave me alone" I say without looking back and walking faster.

"Hey slut!" I hear someone yell. I look over and see an 8th grader coming towards me. I ignore them and walk away.

"Hey, don't walk away when I'm talking to you. You bitch!" He yells as I start to run and I end up in the girls bathroom. I lock myself in a stall and just start to ball my eyes out. I sigh before taking out a razer blade that I had stolen from Joey's bathroom. I hoped it didn't come to this point but I just want it all to end.

I put the cold metal against my bare arm, take a deep breath, and yank it across my wrist. My eyes water at the pain but I do it again, right above the previous cut. I feel the warm crimson colored liquid known as blood roll down my wrist and onto my hand.

"Kayla?" I hear a female voice call making me jump. It was Taylor. What the hell is she doing here? I think as I hear her stop outside my stall. I open the stall door. Biggest mistake of my life. Taylor sees my bloody wrist and the bloody razer blade and gasps.

"Kayla. Why no HOW could you do this?" She says in a wisper.

I feel my eyes start to water and I just start to sob. "I-I just want it to e-end. I can't take it anymore Tay. I j-just can't"

After School

Taylor walks me home since she says that she couldn't trust me to be alone right now. We walk into the house and see Joey playing with the dogs.

"Hey, Kayla. How was school?" He's asks as he gets up off the floor. Me and Taylor share a look. I'm silently willing her not to say anything.

"It was good" I say as I go upstairs to my room. Taylor stays behind and sits on the couch with Joey.

I can't hear what there saying but by the looks on Taylor's face it wasn't anything good.

"KAYLA PRACEFFA!!!! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!!" I hear Joey yell up the stairs.

She told him. I knew she would. Damn it Tay i think as I slowly make my way back downstairs. By the looks on Joey's face, he was far from happy.

"I think it's best that I leave now" Taylor says as she gets up and walks out the front door. I just look down at my feet, not wanting to see the hurt in Joey's eyes.

I hear him sigh before saying "why didn't you tell us Kayla?"

I manage the courage to look him in the eye before saying "I didn't think you'd believe me. I'm sorry ok?"

He shakes his head " No, it's not ok Kayla. Self harm is never the answer to your problems" he sighs "just go to your room and start your homework, we'll talk about this later" he motions to the stairs as I sigh and nod before making my way back up the stairs and to my room.
