My Girls

chapter 6

*Griffin's POV. A few hours later. 02:00*

I was jolted awake, when I heard a piercing scream coming from Emma. I run out of my room and immediately gather her in my arms and let her cry.
I stroked her hair, knowing it would help calm her at least a little bit.
"Shhhh, It's okay. You're safe." I said over and over again. This wasn't an unusual thing, it happened almost every night.

*Emma's POV*
I finally went to sleep, for a few hours anyway.
*In the dream*
I woke up feeling sore, and unable to move. I felt pain throughout my body. I could feel him inside me, I tried to move my arms but failed. He noticed me awake and tightened his grip on my wrists, "No, stop, please." I said feeling groggy.
He didn't stop, he started cutting me with a knife. I screamed out in pain.
*End of dream*

I open my eyes to see Griffin. I put my head in the crook of his neck. After a few minutes of me crying and shaking violently. I was calm.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I wanted to but I knew what would happen if I told. I shook my head 'no', and he held me tighter.
After I was completely calm, which was around 3, we went back to sleep. This time he stayed right by my side. Around 6, we stopped at my house to get some clothes to wear to school.

I dressed in a long sleeve black shirt with a black skirt with tights, combat boots, and black leather jacket. Around 7, we stopped for breakfast then Griffin dropped me off at school, he said he had to do something. This is the first time I would be in school without Griffin. He doesn't know this but, I get bullied a lot when he isn't there. I walk into the school, heading straight for my locker. I open the locker, and 4 notes fall out. Great. One says 'just kill yourself' another says 'die already' 'slit your wrist' and 'nobody loves you'. I hear some people laughing,
"Hey" I hear Griffin say so I shove the notes in my bag.
"Hey." I said shoving my books in my locker then shutting it.
"What did you have to do?"

"Oh, nothing." I nodded and it was silent for a while. Griffin and I had 1,3, lunch,5,and 7th hour together so we pretty much had the same classes.
We walked into english and took our seats. I tried to pay attention, but it got harder and harder to listen, all I could think about was the notes. We were doing independant work so it was quiet, which I hated it. I ended up getting a headache, I got up, walking to the teacher's desk.

"Yes?"
"C-can I go to the nurse?" I asked quietly.
"What for?" She asked.
"I have a major headache."
"I'll let you go this time but that's it. You've already missed too much."
"Thanks." I said and left. I walked to the nurse's office, she was actually nice to me.

"Hey Emma, what's up?"
"Hey- Uh- I have a headache."
"Alright, do you want something for it?"
"Yeah."
"Okie dokie." She said, giving me some medicine. I took it then left. I didn't even really have a headache, I did but it wasn't bad. I just needed something for the pain. I went into the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror. I was disgusted, I hated myself, I hated everything, I deserve everything that's happening to me, so I'm not gonna tell anyone. Because I deserve this, I deserve to be in pain. I'm not gonna cry about it, all of it's my fault, I wouldn't be in pain if I just killed myself.
"Just do it already." I whispered to myself. Nobody else was in here. I slowly reached for my knife, opening it. I put it to my wrist about to cut, but heard the door open, causing me to put it away. It was just two girls. They came out of the stalls a few minutes later, I moved so they could wash their hands.

"What's wrong with you?" One of them asked.
"Nothing." I said.
"She's probably upset because Griffin won't date her. Do yourself a favor and give up. He was with me last night anyway, we made out and had sex. God it was great." The other, Ashley, said. Lying bitch.
"Okay, good for you."
"Oh the slut actually talked. Stop acting like you don't care, we all know you want to get with him." She said.
"I don't care,"
"Yeah right. Just do us all a favor, and kill yourself."
"I was going to. And then y'all walked in." They looked shocked.
"What really? At school?"
"Yeah."
"Then do it. Right here." Ashley stated.
"Right now?"
"That is what I said, or are you too busy thinking of Griffin's dick to hear me?" I pulled out my knife.
"Remmeber, you wanted this." I said, slashing at my wrists, until they were covered in blood.
"Oh my god she really did it...." The other one said.
"Of course she did, she's under my control-" I started zoning out. Thinking of everything, still slashing. Everything else became a blur. Next thing I knew, I was back in class.
