Myth had never been treated this way by a girl before, he was very popular with the girls back in Ireland becaus eof his looks. Emma was the first girl to ever turn him down. As he watched her run out of the classroom after slamming her notebook into him, quite hard at that. He just stood there dumb founded for a few moments while the girls and the guys in the class laugh and make jokes about Emma. He didnt ask her for her name because it was written on the piece of paper in her notebook, i bet she would blush if she knew that he thought to himself.
One of the girls, Gabby, the most popular girl im guessing came up to me asking why i was trying to hang around with 'little miss whore' and her little sidekick asked 'yeaaah why hang around with miss mute shes gross' i dont know why but that made anger shoot through my veins when she said that, and i spoke before thinking "because, unlike you guys, she actually seems human," he said and almost laughed when he saw the shocked look on the girls faces. "Anyways why do yall hate her so much anyways, what has she ever done to you?" Myth asked, looking forward to there pathetic excuses, he could already tell that Emma was a very nice girl who had been tormented for atleast a few years, and his heart went out to her.
The girls looked at eachother and smirked. "Im surprised you havnt guessed yet, Emma Lancaster is the town meyers daughter." they said chuckling darkly with some kind of inside joke. He was confused "And?" was all he could say. The girls laughed even louder at that. "And, you saw the scar on her neck didnt you?" she said. "Yeah, it looks pretty bad, what about it?" he was staring at the girls as if they were stupid, or from another planet. "Well, a few years back, i guess it was when all of us were in 9th grade," Gabby said tossing her hair behind her head in that preppy girl fassion as if she was trying to seduce him, it wasnt working. "Emma, has never had friends, no one has ever liked her, she never talked and she acts like she is better than everyone." said Gabby in a spiteful tone. "When Emma was walking home from her part-time job one night she met some guys in an ally and she made them pay to have sex with her, and afterwards her dad found out and she sliced her throat because he wanted to take the money she had earned." Gabby said in a disgusted look, "shes nothing but a filthy whore." said her friend in just as a disgusting tone as Gabby.
"Who told you this?" Myth said staring at them in disbelief. "I dont give out my sources" Said Gabby "but i warn you i would stay a way from her if i were you because everything she touches...."she got really close to his ear and whispered "crumbles." and her and her friend walked away laughing leaving Myth in the classroom still staring in desbelief. Do they actually beleive such bullshit? I just met Emma and i pretty much know that shes not that way...Thought Myth. Myth started running tawords the lunchroom to find Emma, when he got there Emma was being pelted with random food from the other students, and the teachers were just sitting there letting it happen. This pissed Myth off horribly. He ran tawards Emma and picked her up over his shoulder and ran out of the cafeteria lugging her over his shoulder. He ran to the classroom and set her down. She was just sitting there. She looked completely numb.
"Emma....." Myth said sympthetically. Emma looked up, her eyes showed no pain, no...nothing they were like hallow pits, like someone had taken the life right from her. "Can i ask you a question?" he handed her back her notebook and pencil she had shoved into him earlier. She nodded slowly and wrote on the paper:
It's not like i have anything else to lose.
Seth felt a sharp pang of hurt as he read what she wrote. Of course what those girls said isnt true, shes not that kind of girl, Im sure they just made that rumor up to tear her down even more than they already have...and apparently it looks like they succeeded. "Emma, how did you get that scar?" Myth said. Shock showed on Emmas face as Myth said the words, he saw tears come to her eyes, he started to freak out a bit "Emma no no please dont cry, im sorry you dont have to tell me if you dont want to i just wanted to comfirm what those girls said wasnt true, i know it isnt, but i would like to here it from you, but if it brings back painful memories you dont have to tell me! im sorry." Myth was so upset because he thought he made her cry, he didnt want to do that, not him, he wanted to be the only one to make her smile. Emma shook her head and wrote:
No, im not crying because of you. I'm crying because no one has ever
actually asked me my side of the story.
I will tell you, you can choose to believe me or not.
Myth waited for her to write everything,
One night a few years back, i was walking home from my part time job
and i heard a kitten meowing in the ally so i thought it was hurt and i went to see
if i could help it. When i got in the ally i saw 2 guys torturing this baby kitten
and i yelled for them to stop and when they saw me they turned around and started chasing
me. I ran down many diffrent allys and came to a dead end....the guys...they both raped me
and afterwords they slit my throat. They just didnt slice it deep enough for it to be fatal right away
so when they left i got up and ran to the nearest store i could, and got help.
It was on the news the next day of what happend. Gabby and Brenna just...
you already know the story they told you...
because of that insident they said i would probably never be able to speak again
or have children because of the accesive damage they did to me.
Myth stared in shock at the notebook, he felt as if his whole body had turned to ice. How could someone do something so gastly do someone like her he thought. All of a sudden Myth and Emma both shot up when they heard a few people clapping. Myth stared in disgust when he saw that Gabby and Brenna were holding up blown up pictures of Emma....with her clothes all torn off, and her neck bleeding profusly. Myth felt furious. "Now now, Emma, you know thats not what happend, remember what we agreed on? you say that you slept with them and got pissed that your dad was going to take your money and tried to commit suicide so that my friends will stay out of prison, and these little beauties" she said motioning at the picture "Wont be released to the whole city" Gabby said in the most sinicle smile Myth had ever seen in his life.
"Of all people why would you do something like that to Emma, she doesnt hurt anyone." Said Myth in disgust. Gabby just laughed and said "Exactly, she was too pure, and i hate pureness so i hired some friends of mine to dirty her up, i didnt know they were gonna cut her throat though, tsk tsk, poor little Emma, its better this way though because that innocent voice of yours really got on my nerves." Myth looked at Emma, her cheeks were streaming with tears. Im guessing this is the first time about what actually happend has been said....he thought. He pulled Emma close to his chest to comfort her.
A clatter of a broomtsick or something equivalant in size and shape fell behind the group of people and everyone in the group looked back in horror and saw that the janitor was standing there, a look of absolute rage across his face.
