One Letter Away

Lights! Camera! Action!

I flicker my eyes open as I they look into the ceiling. My naked body bathes into the warm sunlight. The music is gone. What the hell happened to everyone? Is the party over?

I quickly threw some clothes on my back and walk into the living room to find Logan sleeping on the couch while his body is halfway on the floor. Red cups are everywhere and crumps of Doritos are spread all over the floor. Logan weakly rose up from the floor while groaning in tiresome.

"That was the best party ever." He walked to the table and grabbed a cup. He drunk out of it without seeing what was in it.

"What happened to everyone?" I asked.

"They left at about 3:00 in the morning." We actually got away with just one party. I'm surprised the neighbors didn't call the police on us.

"Where are my friends?"

"They were the first one to leave." Why? What happened?

"I'm going to school. You stay here and clean this shit up."

"At least I get to stay home." he said, lying back down on the chair.

After packing my school supplies in my back, instead of taking he bus, I've decided to walk to school this time. Zoey was supposed to pick me up but I guess she woke up late. When I walked in the school, there were giggles and snickers were heard from the whole hallway. They were all holding their phones in front of them as if they were watching a video.

"Oh my God, I'm surprised she came to school today. Hasn't she heard?" What's going on? Haven't I heard what? I've decided to ignore it and keep walking to my locker.

When I got there, Zoey, Riley, Kayla, and Valentina were all standing there with their shoulders shrugged. "Why is everyone looking and laughing at me like I'm a fucking hobo?"

"Oh haven't you heard?" asked Valentina.

"Heard what?"

"Show her." Zoey pulled her phone out of her pocket and took a moment to log in. She turned the phone around for me to look at a video. All I see is me and Alex. He's thrusting me onto my bed. The sound of us moaning and groaning. Our nakedness. Our secret. "Oh my God." She pulled the phone away from my face.

"Were you out of your fucking mind," Kayla yelled.

"Look, guys I'm sorry."

"Sorry my ass. You bailed on us to have sex with Alex," yelled Zoey.

"What happened to the Single Ladies Club? What happened to us? Your fucking friends, Emma!" yelled Valentina. Everyone looked at us as if we were putting on a show which we are.

"Guys I'm so sorry."

"We're done. We're fucking done." Zoey walked away.

"C'mon guys." Kayla and Valentina followed her leaving only Riley. My best friend.

"Riley." She walked away along with them. Tears are running down my eyes. Sadness and Embarrassment. All they feel is betrayal. I tried to hide my sorrow from everyone in the hallway. I turned around to find Alex and his friends laughing. One of his friends gave him a man five. Without thinking about the consequences, I walked over there and swung my fists across his face. Oh, how I destroy that beautiful thing, but it was worth it. "Hey!" One of his friends put his hand on my chest, trying to back me up away from him.

"Are you fucking serious, Alex?" I pushed his friend away from me. "I actually thought you liked me."

"Well I guess you were wrong." he said, smiling. He laughed before spitting out blood which was gushing from his mouth.

"First these god damn letters and now you did this to me?"

"What letters?" I stopped to look at him in shock. Was I wrong the whole time?

"What? You didn't send those letters to me?" I asked.

"Look, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about." His friends helped him up. I heard someone behind me call my name.

"Emma Taylor." It was Principal Gonzalez. He had on a black suit as if he were the man in black. He was standing at the door waiting for me to come in.

I walked into his office and sat down in front of his desk. Still heartbroken. Embarrassed. Falling tears with shivering lips. Without asking, I took a piece of tissue from his tissue box.

"Emma um... so I've heard about the video and... I was wondering if you could tell me who took that video." Hate thinking about him. Hate thinking about his face no matter how beautiful it is.

"Alex Carter."

"Alex Carter?" He reached over and grabbed a discipline slip to write his name down. "Do you want me to call your parents," he asked. I shrugged my shoulders. He dialed my parents phone number on his telephone.

"Hello is this the parent of Emma Taylor?" I could tell it was my mom because of the fainted voice on the phone. "Hi, um.. your daughter has been expose and uh.. there was a sexual video of her and Alex Carter." Oh my God what would my parents say? Are they going to ground me for life?

"Thank you ma'am." He hung up the phone. "Your parents will be here in a couple of hours."

After waiting for 2 hours, my parents came in the room in disappointment. We walked to the car while I looked down, never looking up. My life is over, ruined, and fucked up.
