Their Love

Chap. 1 The Unseen

(Rachel'sP.O.V)

"Rachel! Get your fat ass up for bed!"

"Uugghhhmmm" groaned Rachel when she heard her mom scream at her to get up.

The first day at school again. Why did life have to be so terrible? What did I ever do? My thoughts were interuptted when I heard my mom slam the front door.

"Shit" I exclaimed when I realized she was planning on leaving me at home with no way to get to school.

I shiver as I remember the last time she did this. I came home to a beating from my father. Physical and verbal. That was a week ago. I still have bruises. And fresh cuts from afterwards.

Shaking my head from the thought, I grab my shoes and run out the door with just enough time to jump in the car before she drove away.

"What the hell were you doing?! I was about to leave you! You know your father hates that. Do you want a repeat of last week?" Says your mother Crystine

Shaking my head no i say "no mom I'm sorry I was late getting up. Please don't tell dad on me. I promise I'll be good"

I really didn't want a repeat. There's been so many. I just want to get through these next couple years until I can leave this hellhole I live in.

"Then keep your trap shut and do as you're told. You disappoint me." My mom says to me, tears already threatening to fall. "Oh you gonna cry? Little baby girl? Well toughen up. You're 16. You're not a little kid anymore. So do as you're told and be a good daughter. Hahahahaha oh I crack myself up. You'll never be a good daughter"

I just look out the window and turn back into the emotionless robot I know so well. I don't remember anything else she said. I was too focused on my tears falling down my face.
Finally we reach my school. I have never been so happy to be here. Even though I never talked to anyone. I just minded my own business. Tried to anyways. It was kind of hard when you got stares, and were whispered about, pushed up against lockers, etc. It was hard to ignore. But I just kept my robot face on and walked in calmly. Even though I was so scared I thought I might crap my pants. I acted calm.
I wasn't 10 feet in the door and I was shoved into a wall of lockers.
"Lesbo" said Brittany, one of the tall blonde girls "Dyke" said a short brunette. I had never seen her before. Maybe she was new. "Are you checking Chris out really freak!?" Shove "You think you can walk in here like you own the place and look at my girlf like that!?" Punch. By then I was on the ground bawling. Luckily my favorite teacher turned the corner at that exact moment "Hey! What do you girls think you're doing? Get to class!" Mr. Brunswick tried to help me stand but I just collapsed back on the floor crying hard enough for people in the classes next to us could hear. I was so late for class. "Here come with me. You can be excused this hour" he says to me.
Finally I get to my feet and make it to his office. I'm so lucky he didn't have a class or I'd be in the nurses office right now.
"Tell me what happened" he said "I can call their parents and get them suspended for bullying or-" I cut him off "No. This is my fight and you'll just make it worse if u tell anyone. Please. Just keep this secret. You'll just make it worse." I say "Please Mr. Brunswick." And of course he gives in to my puppy eyes even though one if them is now blackening as I speak. He grabs an ice pack from his mini fridge he keeps in his desk and hands it to me. I nod a thanks and hold pressure on my eye that I just realized was throbbing.
I must have fallen asleep on his desk because next thing I know the bell rang. Signaling I'm almost late for my next class, I look around and Mr. Brunswick is nowhere to be found. 'Hm. That's weird.' I think to myself. Oh well I think. And I hop off the desk and start slowly walking to my next class. I keep my head down so no one will recognize me. But that results in me bumping into someone "Oh my god I'm so sorry please don't hurt me I didn't mean to. Here let me help you get your stuff I'm so-" I go to finish with sorry but I get cut off by the voice if an angel (cliche I know ;)) "Its fine really. I wasn't looking and you're just so small I didn't mean to not see you. I'm new here. Names Rose. Rose Dertan." She reaches out to shake my hand but I flinch and back away thinking she was going to hit me. "Oh no I'm sorry" she says " I didn't mean to scared you. Here I got all these books for you. I'm sure I'm much stronger than you to carry all these." She picks up all the books and then reaches out slowly for my hand, I take it and instantly regret it as 'the squad' come around the corner all high and mighty. "Oh hey whore." Says queen bee Brianna. If she wasn't such a bitch I might have actually been attracted to her. "Oh...you finally made a friend huh? And what is your name...friend?" She asks looking at Rose. "Name is Rose. Rose Dertan." Rose says matter-of-factly "Well 'Rose Dertan' I haven't seen you before so you must be new. Do everyone a favor and don't befriend this freak. She's a huge DYKE D-Y-K-E. Hey slut what does that spell!?" Shove, I close my eyes and slide down to the floor awaiting the beating that's coming. Out of the noisy hallway I hear angel say "Hey! Pick on someone your own size huh?" I look up and she looks pissed. I don't know why. She doesn't know me. So she shouldn't care. I'm just what they say I am. A slut. A whore. A lesbo, dyke, a joke, a freak. Everything. Out of my ugly thoughts I start to hear arguing. Its angel and bitch. Those are good nicknames. Yeah I'll stick with those. "I can pick on who I want! Who's gonna stop me from beating this girl into liking dudes!?" Says bitch. "I am." Says angel. I look up just as shocked as bitch and the rest of her crew were. "I'm gonna stop you. And I'm gonna befriend her and I'm gonna care about her whether you like it or not so shut the hell up and back off or next time I'll bring jaw and nose isn't it. Because yours are obviously fake." She says "Cmon let's go." And grabs me. Whoa. What the hell happened back there!? I pass out when she picks me up bridal style and carries me to the nurses office. This should be interesting
