Never Too Late

Chapter 5- Another Ruined Day

It's now September the 28th and is Taylor's birthday. The good thing is that it's a Friday, the bad thing is that it's a school day.

Taylor wakes up happy this day. She goes into the bathroom to brush her teeth. As she's brushing them an idea pops in her head. Maybe today she'll look nice today. Well at leased try.

She turns on the slow and easy cold water. Her hand moves to the faucet to let the water go on her hand and easily let it go down to the tips of her fingers.

She cuffs one hand and let's the water come upon her hand. Slowly she takes the hand full water to her mouth and sucks it up.

The cold water goes every which way in her mouth as she then spits it out. As she rises up from slouching she looks into the mirror.

A sigh escapes her lips as she grabs her make-up bag. She leans closely to the mirror and starts with the eyeshadow.

Taylor is now done with her make-up and cloths. She's wearing a dress that goes down to her knees, a red ribbon that ties into a bow below her chest, and the decoration on the dress is fully black with white roses.

Her make-up is black with white glitter as her dark hair is curled.

"Okay.....I think I'm ready."

She then grabs her book bag and heads out the door.

--

"Who's that?"

"Is that Taylor?"

"Wow didn't think she could be pretty for once."

Those are the whispers taylor is hearing as she walks down the hall and to her locker. Her smile is bright as she thinks that nothing could ruin her day.

She opens her locker up, but only for it to be slammed by the one and only Megan with her 'best friend' Justie.

"Wow is that taywhore?" Megan asks while laughing.

"It's Taylor, and what do you want?" She begins to put in her locker combination.

"Wow you look pretty for once, but not as pretty as me!" Megan laughs in Taylor's face.

"Anyways to get to the point. We want you to sit with us at lunch. We better see you, bye!" Justie says as the two walk off.

Wow, she's now getting invited to lunch with the six most popular girls! But even though they bully her, she'll sit with them.

Taylor stands in line to get her food. She stands there alone, but it doesn't bother her since she usually is.

But today she feels different, like she wants people to notice her. One guy turns around to see if his friend is coming.

He tall maybe about 5'7, he seems anorexic, his skin is pale like he hasn't had a tan in years, his hair is fully black, and he too stands alone.

Just them she notices a few bruises on him. Maybe he gets bullied or abused too.

His eyes drift off to Taylor, noticing her standing alone.

"Uhh, hi...." he says. This then shocks Taylor because of how no one has ever been nice to her first.

"Hello..." she replies back awkwardly.

"Well I'm Quinn, and you are?"

"I'm Taylor, Taylor Woolard."

His eyes widen as he gets closer to her.

"You're the girl everyone talks about. But not in a good way."

"Gee thanks....." she looks away so no one can see her eyes watering.

"Oh my, uhh I didn't mean it like that-"

"No no it's okay, never been the popular or pretty one in the group...." She then sighs.

"I haven't either. I've been bullied since first grade for being "too skinny" or "too ugly". I have so many family problems because my mom is a druggy, my dad is an alcoholic, and I get abused. Every time I try and do something nice or good, I end fucking everything up...." Taylor's eyes widen at what he said. He's almost exactly like her.

"My mom is a druggy and an alcoholic, my father died in a car wreck with me, I've been bullied since kindergarten, I get abused, and...." she shows her wrists. "I also cut....."

He hugs her tightly as she does too.

"Well seems like we have to get out food now." Quinn says.

"Yeah.....heres my number..." She hands him a slip of paper.

They then get their food and sit at their table. She notices that Quinn is sitting alone at a table. No body bothering him, and no body looking at him.

"Hey Taylor sit beside me!" Megan pats the seat beside her. She takes her seat noticing that Justie is sitting beside her too.

"So Taylor, we kind of made a birthday surprise for you!" Megan says.

"Yeah it's totally rad." Scarlett says, one of the popular six chicks.

"Scarlett shoosh this is from Justie and I!" Megan exclaims.

"Wanna get on with it?" Justie says a bit annoyed.

"Yeah," Megan stands up.

"Attention everyone!" She looks around.

"We have a very special birthday surprise for Taylor Woolard!" She winks at Justie.

Everyone is now looking at Taylor. Her anxiety is now kicking in.

Justie grabs a bottle of old chocolate milk and hands it to Megan.

"Here we go!" She opens it up and pours it on her making everyone gag.

"Now for the final we need you all to throw the meatloaf on her!" Everyone is laughing at Taylor while they start to throw food.

She sits there crying as she notices Quinn is rushing to her. He grabs her hand and runs out of the school with her.
