Everyone was gathered on the couch waiting for the movie to play. Three of the girls were on the big couch, two were on the ground. I was on the ground too but, farther away from them.

"Brooke, have you ever seen pitch perfect?" All asked.

I just shook my head.

The last movie I watched was when I was five. Before everything started crashing down.

Ten minutes into the movie the door rang bringing everyone's attention away from the movie. Ally got up to answer the door. They all decided to get pizza after I told them I could cook.

The smell of the disgusting greasy cheese on bread made my stomach turn. I haven't had pizza since I was younger, considering it brought memories.

"Daddy, no more, I'm full" my eight-year-old self-complained.

His bright blue eyes turned into a dark blue, angered by my complaint.

"Did I ask?!" He rose from his seat, his chair falling all the way back with the force. I look up in fear, afraid of what may happen.

"Brooklyn! Just obey for once!" My mother added.

He grabs another slice of pizza and lounges himself across the table and shoves it into my face. Smothering me with the hot pizza seconds go by with his shoving it to the point where I can't breathe.

"Just fucking eat it!" He yelled.

"Brooklyn, you want some?" Camila asked bringing me out of the memory.

"No, I'll just eat some later."

Before I know it, the movie is almost over. My eyes closing shut failing to stay awake during the rest of the movie.

"Damn this girl's light as fucks" I heard a raspy voice whisper. Before I know it, I fall back into a slumber.

Awakening by the morning sun, I rise from my bed. Feeling the heavy feeling like usual I decided to get out of bed.

After getting ready for the day I start to walk downstairs but Lauren saying my name in a low mannered tone made me stop.

"She said she's a sophomore right?" She asked.

"Yes, she did Lauren," Ally confirmed. 

Why are they even worried about me? 

"There is no way she is! Shes way to light to be even breathing! I swear she weighs as much as my cousin who is just now going into sixth grade!" 

I decided to walk downstairs to stop the current worry about me. I'm, not even light. 

Heading into the kitchen to make everyone food Lauren and Ally had been watching me like I was a spider walking across the floor.  They were treating me like I was about to break and not knowing what to say. Feeling irritated by the stares everyone was giving me, I acted out. 

"Why must you look at me, if you want to say something just say it!" I grumble throwing the pan on the floor. I walk upstairs not caring about the scene I just created.

The guilt built up faster than ever and I expected. I needed to calm myself down. I look in my jewelry box and grab the cold blade.

A knock at my door made me panic and shove the blade back into it's hiding spot. 

"Hold on!"I panic pulling my sleeves down. They won't bleed that much.

"Come in."

The door opened revealing Normani.

"I just wanted to check up on you girl. Lauren told me what happened." I just shrugged. " Want to come down with us, the girls are sorry for the way they treated you. Lauren is just worried about you." 

I internally rolled my eyes at thinking that someone actually did care about me. 

"Want to come down with us?" 

I just shrug my shoulders but get out of bed anyway.  I get out of bed being overcome by a wave of dizziness. I hold my hand out to catch myself from falling and making a scene. Luckily, Normani was out my door by the time I got up.

"Hey, Brooklyn!" Camila said.

I just wave at her not having the energy to say anything. I take a seat at the table not knowing what I'm even down here for. I feel a trickle down my arm and I check it under the table and see my arm was bleeding. I heard someone set a plate in front of me which caused me to pull my sleeve down. I looked up and saw Ally looking down at me with a raised eyebrow.

She totally saw

Everyone was at the table eating while I was picking at the salad. Eating a few bites here and there but that was it. I picked my bowl up putting the rest of the food in the trash and washed my bowl out.

"Where are you going? You just got down here," Lauren said.

"I-I don't feel good, I'm going to lay down for a little bit," I say on the verge of tears.

Lauren just nodded and I went upstairs.

She knows

Ally defiantly knows. She's going to tell my parents. I have to think of a lie.

I ended up drifting to sleep for the rest of the night.

She can't know

Hey guys

Honestly, I don't see why people bring each other down or spread rumors. Shits annoying after a while. Also, the people who call someone rude names out of jealousy is hella low. Anyways thank you for listening to my TED talk.

No for all seriousness that shit sucks.
Anyways, I don't know why I thought shit would be better when my brother came. Shits worse. Ahah but at least I'm not being blAmEd for every little shit.

Wow personal.

How would y'all feel if I uploaded another story?

Anyways, have a great day/night.
