Ashley stepped into her house to meet everywhere quiet. It's obvious her parents were not around.

"I'm home". She screamed hoping her mom will run out of the kitchen and pull her into a tight hug kiss her forehead and ask how her day was. But Ashley knew that could never happen. Her mom was not that person and she never asks how school was.

She took off her jacket and her shoes and shut the door. Her elder brother might come in later on, not like she cared. She walked into the kitchen in search for what to eat but everything was just not what she wanted, she wondered what made her mom stuff the fridge with fruits and vegetables.

Grabbing her phone from the counter she ordered some pizza and while waiting she went upstairs and had her bath. Ashley never spends more than five minutes in the bathroom cause she was always running away from herself. On her way to her closet she saw her reflection on the mirror

Why are you crying?

Dont you know that sinners get punished?

Why are you crying

"I'm not crying". She wiped the tears that fell from her eyes.

Big girls don't cry

"I'm not crying".

You're ugly

I hate you

"No. Please no"

You disgust me

"Ashley!". She turned around and met her elder brother's head peeking through her door. She wasn't aware that Timi was home.

"Um I think there's someone downstairs". He slammed the door and Ashley sighed. She needed someone to ask her why she was crying and screaming earlier, if she had eaten, how was her day at school, if she was doing fine in her grades but then it seemed everyone was better off without her.

The doorbell rang again and she dressed quickly and ran barefooted  downstairs. She opened the door and found the pizza delivery guy looking a bit impatient

"Hi. Pizza delivery for Ashley". She nodded and asked for a moment to go get his money. She ran back and brought his money but then he declined.

"But why?". Ashley asked but then the pizza guy smiled and said "It's not everyday I'm blessed with a beautiful face". Ashley's heart melted because no one ever called her beautiful not even her parents but then this stranger just called her that. She smiled and closed the door, maybe he was blind or short sighted.

She headed to the kitchen to grab a plate when she saw a young girl In her white lacy underwear. The girl just grabbed a bottle of drink and walked out like she never existed.

Bitch. Timi never fails to sleep with the worst of them

Ashley's hands were under her pillow as she thought of nothing and everything. Ashley wasn't a girl who liked pink or castles, infact she disliked pink that her room was painted red. Maybe because her parents never bought her pink clothings as a child. Ashley hated cliche story and love, she believed they never existed. If there was love she would at least get it from her parents and brother.

She didn't believe in fairytales either, she never watched Disney and any cartoons, she only listened to music. Ashley was different in a different kind of way. Her phone chimed as a message came in, who texted her?. Maybe Airtel or a notification came in. She was surprised to see a video from a strange number. She quickly opened it but it was a bad idea.

The video sent to her was the video of her being humiliated today by Jace. Malcom highschool's biggest wierdo was the caption and she felt the tears coming this time not little but much. So much that they soaked her pillow and clothing. She cried till when her parents came home at night fall. They didn't even come to check if she was in her room, what if she was kidnapped? Or killed.

No one cared

No one checked up on her

This was one reason to die.

To whoever might be going through depression and anxiety. You're better than it, you can fight it. ❤🦋
