***Warning sensitive scene ahead***

Hayat Luna's POV:

"Haha no one wants you anyway, it would be better if you killed yourself!" I flinch at what I hear, with tears pooling into my eyes.

"Get out of our school! You're not needed here!" Yells another girl walking by me and giving me a dirty look.

If looks could kill...

I walk out of my last class of the day and start walking to my locker to put my things away for the day. It's been an exhausting day, with all the crappy comments and bullying. It always has been. I can't help but limp from the pain in my lower abdomen.

She beat me up again, and this time she used the beer bottle and smashed it on my head. It bled a little last night but I made sure to cover it and made it stop bleeding. I'm wearing a hat just in case it starts bleeding again.

I roll my hands into fists and let my nails dig into the palm of my hands. When I get to my locker I quickly put my books away and make sure to close my locker so nobody gets into it like last time.

Last time they pulled pranks on me and stuff in my locker. I started to walk towards the bathroom. I need to cry... what can I do? I can't cry at home, I need to go somewhere else.

I walk to the bathroom, clutching my backpack tightly. I open a stall and lean against the stall door. And then I let the tears out... why? Why is this happening to me? I wish you were still here father... I wish you were here to protect me.. A tear slips down my cheek. I quickly unzip my bag pack and take out a razor blade. I look at it and pull my sleeve up. I look at my scar filled wrist. The bruises that she put on me. I can't help but let a sob out and the tears start to slip from my eyes. I sob and cry.

One at a time I slice through my skin, I can feel the burning sensation and the blood oozing out of the cuts, slowly.

I quickly put the blade away in my backpack and pull my sleeves down as I hear steps coming in the bathroom. The door opens and I hear a bunch of girls laughing and snickering. My eyes widen as I hear Veronica's voice. Veronica is my worst nightmare, she bullies me every chance that she gets, every time that she sees me.

" Tch Tch look who's in here with us?" she says in a disgusted tone. I could hear footsteps and heels clicking towards my stall.

Oh no what do I do now?

"Here little kitty, come out now" she talks in a mocking tone. I slowly opened the stall door peeking, to see if I could sneak out somehow but Veronica and her friends had surrounded my stall and there was no way out. I tried to see if I could go under the stalls next to me. But there was no hope, when I turned to see under, Layla, and Tiffany. Now I'm surrounded, I don't know what to do. I have no choice but to surrender. I opened my stall and saw. Veronica looks at me disgustedly, as I open the stall. Both of her friends come out of her other stalls and look at me. I look down, and clutch my bag closer to my chest really right and try to avoid contact.

"Ew what the hell are you wearing?" Layla says and Veronica pretends to gag like she's throwing up. "Let- Let me.. go" I say nervously, looking down at my old ripped sneakers.

Suddenly someone grabs my chin and makes me look up, it's Veronica.

I make eye contact with her and see her dark blue eyes, looking at me with disgust. I can see pure hatred in her eyes for me.

How come everyone has hate for me?

Yanking me from the collar of my hoodie, she pulls me completely out of the stall. I lose balance and I fall on the dirty bathroom floor. I don't look up. I know what's coming for me. Layla pulls my hat off, throws it on the bathroom floor and drags me by my hair pulling me up, walking on my hat. and I feel a stinging pain in my head again. Tears start to form into my eyes.

I shut my eyes right for the impact that I'm going to receive. Veronica punches me in the same spot where my Mom punched me last night. I groan in pain. It felt like hell. I can't help but keep my scream in. "Ahh.."

"Shut the hell up you whore" Tiffany yells punching me in my face.Something warm drips down my lips. I touch to see what it is and I see blood. All I feel is a burning and stinging sensation. I can't help but let out a sob.

"Please stop!" I finally let out a scream to defend myself.

"Let me go!" I scream even louder this time.

"Shut up!" Veronica yells at me. "Someone is going to walk in!" She whispers and yells at me.

" Let's go girls." Veronica looked at me once again, grabbed her belongings and handbag and walked out the bathroom. I quickly grabbed my hat and stood up facing the mirror.

I see a girl. A burden. With a bloody face and bruises all over her body. I don't cry this time I look at myself with disgust and feel the hatred that everyone I know has for me. I clean my face up with a wet paper towel, grab my stuff and head out like nothing ever happened

" At this time students who are not with a teacher or a coach please dismiss the building." The school secretary announces.

I sigh when I realize I still have to head to work. I work at a Cafe, which is a fifteen-minute walk away from my school. From work, I walk home alone by 9:00 PM after closing the shop. I'm the last one leaving the Cafe so I have to close it at last and give the keys to the owner, the first thing in the morning. I don't have a choice, since I have to do it to survive my miserable life.

I always have to wake up super early in the morning. As I'm walking down the sidewalk I feel the cold breeze on my face. I inhale the beautiful Fall wind and close my eyes, stopping for a minute.
