You are going through one of the worst times in your life at the age of 17. You came out to your friends and it didn't end well..bullying and threats were received. What happens when you add Lauren Cimorelli in this situation?
Warning: Mentions of suicide and homophobia. Do not read if this is a sore topic.
Also in this chapter reader is Catholic, don't like, then sorry :)Y/N POV:
"Look at this dyke, trying to defend herself." you hear a girl say as you close your eyes, hurt against the locker.
"P-please, st-stop." I gasp for air as she kicks my stomach.
"Shut up, you don't even deserve to be here." she throws all my stuff in the garbage just as I start to struggle toward my bag.
I look up and see with this girl is the one who started this all... Alex Bella. We were best friends before all this. We both grew up in a Catholic church and school, but I always felt different then all the other girls in there. She looks down at me as the other people with her laugh at me. I'm trying to gasp for air, having asthma and being kicked in the ribs isn't the best combination.
"Come on Alex, take a hit at the faggot so we can go to the mall." someone says.
I try and sit up, maybe giving me a chance to avoid it but Alex pulls me up and pushes me against the locker again, "You don't deserve to live, just do us a favor and kill yourself."
She drops me and they walk away as I cry and lay there. Eventually I gather enough strength and get my stuff, quickly using my inhaler to breathe easier. Slowly but surely, I reach my car and drove home.
Time Skip: Home
"OMG, Y/N!" my mom pulls me in for a hug as I groan in pain.
"Ma I'm fine." I try and walk past her, she knows I'm gay but doesn't know how bad the bullying is.
"Y/N, you are not okay. I'm having a serious talk with the principal. Don't think I don't know where this game from." she says sternly.
Oh guess she does know.. "I know, I'm just so tired. Let me rest." I beg.
"Okay, let me at least get you cleaned up before your step-father gets here.
My eyes widen as I here that. I go up to my room and try to fix myself while holding back tears from the pain. Todd is coming here, which means more hitting... yay. How does ma know about school but not him...As I wash my face, I notice the razor, I see the bottle of medicine...
"Everything would be so much easier. No one would miss me, no one would care. It would be easier on everyone if I just didn't exist." I whisper to myself. "Lord I can't take this pain and suffering. Let me die." I sob out.
I look at these items and try to ignore them, as my mom calls me down. Wiping away my tears once again, I head downstairs and see these two girls with my step father.
"Y/N, this is Caroline, Todd's daughter, and her best friend Lauren." my mom introduces us.
Lauren smiles at me as does Caroline. Wow Lauren is quite beautiful..no Y/N you can't. I can't continue to be this abomination. My nails dig into my skin, as self punishment, something that became a habit every time I let my gayness out.
"Why don't you girls hang out in the living room." my mom suggest. "I have to get some groceries, I'll be back.
"Alright mom." I say quietly as I feel Todd staring me down.
"So Y/N what do you like to do in your spare time." Caroline asks as my eyes look at Lauren.
Wow she's so pretty... "Uhm well listen to music, and play it. How bout you guys?"
