Being a student at Liberty high school wasn't always good. Especially for certain people like me, and my friend group.
Liberty high school is a horrible place.
"Y/n?" It took me a few seconds to snap out of my daydreaming thoughts.
I looked up at the person who was calling my name probably numerous times. "Are you okay?"
Alex asked sitting down in front of me with his lunch tray. And cane in hand.
"Oh I- uh, yeah sorry. I'm fine."
I looked around at our empty table, where our friends usually took up some of the space. But there was only me and Alex here.
"Where is everyone at?"
"I have no idea, as far as I know Clay was suppose to pick Ani up. But the cops took him in to question him so Jess-
"Wait what?"
"I was gonna say, so Jessica is picking Ani up. That's why there not here yet."
I mentally face palm myself, "No Alex, that's not what I was talking about." I continued, "Why are the cops questioning Clay?"
"You didn't here?" He whispered to me.
"Here about what?"
"Hey guys." Zach and Justin spoke, approaching me and Alex.
"Hey." Alex said back. I smiled at both of Zach and Justin.
"Fuck me, did you guys hear about Bryce." Justin added.
I looked confusingly at him, "What? What about Bryce?"
Zach and Alex looked at each other across the table before Zach spoke. "Bryce was killed last night."
So many feelings and flashbacks come running back into my head. Bryce Walker is dead. After almost two years of causing people pain, people that I love horrible pain. He raped two of my best friend's, literally drove one of them to death. He's a- he was a liar that caused pain in many people's life. Half of those people being my own friends. And now he's just gone. I remember being in that clubhouse, and him forcing himself on me and almost raping me. But I was saved. By my boyfriend, his best friend. Montgomery.
I don't know how to feel to be honest. I feel like throwing up, I feel like I am sick to my stomach.
"I- um. I have to go and uh, I have cheer practice. I'll catch up with you guys later." My last words being mumbled by me shuffling to get up and leave.
On the way out of the cafeteria, passing Montgomery and Charlie who were sitting with the jocks. From the corner of my eye I seen them both staring at me.
I didn't know what to do, I mean what do you do when you find out the a former friend of your is dead? You may be surprised I even called him my friend, but he was there for me when Montgomery wasn't at times. Just to be clear I'm thinking about how he was here for me before he tried raping me. I'm so dumb I always try to see the good in bad people, when I know I shouldn't.
After he tried doing that he was dead to me, and now he really is.
I found myself in the girls locker room. Trying to catch my breath, and definitely needing my inhaler. As I was pumping it in my mouth, I heard the doors of the locker room opening, and then close.
"Hey babe," I'm surprised Monty came, to be quite honest. "Are you okay?"
I was literally on the verge of tears, why would he even asks me that stupid question.
