Bella was walking to school with her best friend Daniel Seavey. Bella and Daniel have been best friends ever since preschool when Bella fell over and grazed her knee and Daniel went over and helped her.

Daniel has always been the more popular one and yet he still chooses to be friends with Bella and hang out with her even if it makes him look lame and stupid he doesn't care. He loves Bella. More than she knows. Daniel always told Bella he loved her because it was true. He loved her. Not necessarily just in a friends way either.

Daniel has always been there even when Bella got diagnosed with an eating disorder. Bella although has been getting a lot better and if she ever starts to get off track again Daniel helps her get back on track and better again.

Bella's mum is also abusive and an alcohol addict but she only started when Bella's dad passed away from stage three lung cancer which her mother liked to blame on Bella.

~Daniel~

"Bella?... Bella are you okay?" I said in a worried tone. Bella looks up at me and wiping her eyes "I'm fine." And unfortunately I knew better than to ask whats wrong. "We're here," sighing as I finished walking Bella to class "I'll meet you at your locker when break starts" Bella nods "Thanks" I watch as Bella turns away from me taking a step towards her classroom, the corners of my mouth tugging into a frown. I hated seeing her upset, especially when she really didn't want to talk to me about it. I extend my arm grabbing ahold of her small wrist spinning her around into my chest mumbling "I love you" Bella nods again "I love you too"

I slowly let go turning around and walking away. Class went by pretty quickly, I had told Bella that I would meet her at her locker but that changed when the boys had convinced me to hang out with them, using the excuse of they haven't had the chance to see me all week. I felt bad. I felt extremely bad. I told Bella I would meet her and now I'm leaving her alone, the least I could do is shoot her a quick message "sorry the boys wanted me to hang with them..you know how they are. Anyway I'll talk to you later Bella, I love you."

~Bella~

Today just wasn't a good day and honestly, I don't want to talk about it. When Daniel spun me around pulling me into a hug my lips tugged the corners of my mouth pulling them into a smile. And I really didn't feel like smiling. Taking in the strong smell of his aftershave "I love you" I nod "I love you too" he slowly pulls away turning around and walking off. I sigh mumbling something to myself before walking in the classroom watching as everyone stares, I shallow hard before sitting in my seat near the back.

Class went by fast, jumping up as soon as the bell rang going to my locker where I was expecting Daniel to be. When I reached my locker my phone buzzed I looked down frowning seeing Daniels message "sorry the boys wanted me to hang with them..you know how they are. Anyway I'll talk to you later Bella, I love you." He was my only real friend, I don't talk to anyone else. And this was the was third time this week he's done it saying that it was only Wednesday meaning he's done it all week and he did it most of last week and the week before, he was distancing himself from me and I couldn't work out why.

I grab a book out quickly before sighing sliding down my locker. Reading and reading until I was interrupted

"Look at me slut," it was Sammie, the girl who had been crushing on Daniel since the 5th grade.

"I said look at me slut," Sammie slammed me against the hard cold locker and soon enough my gaze met Sammie's. "Dani is mine so from now on stay the fuck away from him" she hissed and I nodded not wanting to argue, honestly I never wanted to argue.

"Baby put her down" Daniel sighed as he walked up to us "I was just mucking around wasn't I?" I looked down at the ground fiddling with my bracelet "Wasn't I?!" "Yes" my voice shaky. Sammie moves closer to Dani whispering into his ear "I'll meet you at our spot" she pulls away from Daniels ear with a smirk before looking back at me glaring then walks away.

Daniel and I stood 5 feet apart waiting for someone to speak "so, your dating Sammie?" "Yep," Daniel replied back a smile tugged at his lips he seemed happy. Just not as happy as usual. "Since when?" Breaking the eye contact to look at my hands fiddling with my bracelet. "Today, but don't worry she won't replace you. I love you" my eyes fill with tears of disappointment and hurt looking up a little mumbling "I love you too," Tears fall from my eyes as I walk away from Daniel.




Before long the last bell of the day rang, I walked out of the school searching for Daniels car as I would usually get a lift home with him but today. Today was different. Today I saw his car pull out of the car park with his new girlfriend in the passenger seat. I started walking home, head down, not allowing anyone to see the tears rolling down my pale cheeks.

I arrive home half an hour later than usual. Mum waiting outside and she did not look happy which slightly scared me. Ever since I lost my dad my mum has been this abusive alcoholic and that's around about the time I stopped eating.

"Where the hell have you been!" Deborah -my mother- yells. "I've.. Ive been walking home" I fumble and choke a little on my words scared of what my mother could do. "Did you get lost or something?!" She yells again and I scoff "no I just wasn't rushing to get him jeez I'm so sorry" I roll my eyes my tone filled with sarcasm. My mum grabbed the collar of my shirt dragging me inside before slapping me hard. "Don't you dare use that tone with me!" She then pushed me away "now run up to your room dinner will be ready in an hour" I did what I was told running up the stairs and into my bedroom. I collapse to my knees crying on the floor of my bedroom. "Daniel doesn't love me" I start attacking myself "he never loved me, why else would he go out of his way to date the one bitch who he knows hates me the one who has bullied me all of my life... I'm such a failure!" My voice softens as I continue "I should be the one dead not you dad.. I'm sorry" Tears we're streaming out of my eyes like a waterfall

Slowly I could feel my eyelids getting heavier and heavier before they were too heavy to stay open.
