Christmas Break

Lauren P.O.V.

I groans loudly as my alarm clock blared through my room at 6:00 a.m. on December 22nd, last day of school before Christmas Break. 'Damn school, I don't want to go,' I muttered to myself, walking to my bathroom.

Hi, I'm Lauren Lovato(Yes, I'm related to Demi Lovato, we are sisters) I am 15 years old, and I have some secrets of my own.

The reason why I hate school is simple; I'm bullied everyday, and nobody likes me. For that reason, I self harm and purge. I glanced at the mirror and I instantly regretted it. I laid my hazel eyes on my chubby stomach. 'Ew, yours so fat! Fatsvato! Why don't you lose weight?!' the voices screamed at me. "Shut up!"I whisper shouted at them, reaching for my blade.I ran it down my arm and wrists, watching the blood flow down onto the floor.

Once I was done with cutting, I cleaned myself and the floor up and walked downstairs. Madison was finished with her breakfast, and was watching the ID channel.(Demi got her addicted to it, lol) "You ready to go?"I asked. She nodded. "Yep, wait, aren't you going to eat?" I shrugged. "Not very hungry this morning, so lets just get going,"

We walked the 10 minute walk to our school, which consisted of 7th, 8th, and High School students. Maddie ran off to find her friends, leaving me all alone. I have no friends at my school. Everybody hates me. I walked in the school building, with my head down, and walking to my locker quickly. School started off okay, all we were doing was our semester exams.

Before I knew it, it was the final hour of the day, P.E., which I hate for one reason; my worst bullies are in the class. The group consisted of Natalie,Taylor, Britney, John, Joe, and Austin.

"Hey,Fatsvato,why are you so fat? Don't you want to be skinny like us?" Britney sneered, as we entered the locker room. "Yeah, your so fat, it's disgusting!" Taylor said. "Why don't you lose weight?" Natalie yelled. I walked away from them, trying to ignore them. "Hey, I'm talking to you Fatsvato!" Britney growled, grabbing me by the neck. "I wonder how Demi puts up with a loser like you, " Natalie said. "You are a nobody and a burden to her," They shoved me into the lockers and they walked away, laughing.

Once the school bell rang, signaling Christmas vacation, I raced out of the building, getting away from those nasty bitches. I looked at my iPhone; I had a text from Maddie.

        Maddie---I'm staying the night at Emma's house, having fun at home with Demi :)

I sighed, and I began the 10 minute walk home, on my own, no one to talk to.  Suddendly, 6 people stepped in front of me. My eyes widened in fear; it was Britney and her group. "Well, well, Fatsvato, finally getting some exercise?" She said, snickering, the others following her move. "Go away, Britney!" I growled, not in a very good mood now. "What did you say, FREAK?!!" She screamed, slapping me hard across the cheek.

It stung like crazy and my eyes began to tear up. The group surrounded me and began to beat me up. They stopped after a couple minutes and left, leaving me there on the ground, bruising up everywhere. My body ached in pain, especially in my stomach area and legs, as I stood up and walked home quickly.

I entered the house and dropped the mail on the table. "Mail is on the table!" I shouted, before dashing for the stairs.  "Hey, I'm not feeling the love?" Someone said, in a hurt tone. I snapped my head around to see Demi standing in the living room, a wide smile on her face. "DEMI!!!" I shouted excitingly, running into her arms. 

"Hey, Babygirl," She said, wrapping her arms tightly and protectively around me. Suddendly, her smile dropped. I then realized my hood fell off, revealing my bruised cheek and lip. "What happened to you, baby?" She asked, concerned. "Nothing, just ran into a cabinet, you know, clumsy me," I said, before running up to my room. No way was I going to let Demi discover my secrets.
