Saving The Broken

Chapter 4

^Trigger warning⚠️ self-harm!!^

"Hello, welcome to Cadpod High School" the teachers say with a smile "Mind telling us your names please?"

"Hi, I'm Ashley Harper" a girl with blonde hair and bright blue eyes says happily "This is-"

"Mesa Becks" a girl cuts in, she had dirty blonde hair and light brown eyes

"This is Nash Marshall" the blonde, blue eyed girl now known as Ashley says while pointing to a guy with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. He was wearing glasses that were slightly to small for his face, but he still pulled them off

"Hello ladies, I'm Mason Becks" a guy with dark brown hair and light brown eyes piped up with a big smirk "And I'm single" he winked making me roll my eyes. I watched as he was smacked in the back of the head for his comment 

"Lastly this is Tyler King" Ashley smiles and pointed to the guy with light green eyes. He was actually quite handsome with his black hair and green eyes

"Well, it's nice to meet you all. Have a seat anywhere that's open" she smiled and started writing stuff on the bored

I keep my head forwards and pull down my hood. I wrote the notes in my book as the new students move to find seats. There were not many seats left and they were all around me, because no one wants to sit next to the ghost girl in the corner. Seats move and I feel someone staring my way, I do not make a move to look and just keep writing the notes. I ignore them the best I can as they start to talk around me

"Hello" said a cheery voice next to me. "I'm Ashley as I said before, who are you?" I felt their stares but did not move or speak. Again, cannot speak anyway

"Hello, we're talking to you" I heard the voice of what sounded like a male, he sounded slightly angry. I continue to ignore them

"Hey" it was pitchy girl who piped up stopping them from trying to talk to me "Don't waste your time"

"What do you mean?" Asked Ashley

"She doesn't speak, she's mute" the soft spoke girl butts in "Just leave her alone, she doesn't like people anyways"

I was not actually mute; well, I believe I am not. I just quite speaking because it caused less pain on me. I used to speak quite a bit. But she is correct, I do not like people. They get you to tell you all your secrets and then they spread rumors about fake stuff that isn't true. I have seen it happen time and time again, though because I have never made any real friends it has never happened to me

"You sure?" Ashley asked. I felt eyes burning into my hoodie and I move slightly to see the guy with green eyes staring me down with no expression anywhere on his face

"Yeah, come to think of it" pitchy girl freezes "She's never taken the hood off either, I don't think anyone knows what she really looks like"

"Well, that's odd" it was the kid named Mason, I believe that spoke

"Yeah, just leave her alone and forget about her. It'll be easier than trying to get her to speak or even nod at you" with that the girls turn forwards and the five new kids stopped bothering me

I walked out the school doors and made my way home. As I was walking off the school grounds, I see the new kid group sitting on their cars staring at me as I walk by. I pull my hood down and make my way down the street, I fiddle with my hoodie sleeves as I am halfway home. I am glad that pitchy girl told them to stop bothering me, which was nice, but something tells me they are not going to stop. I'm not really sure, it's just a feeling

I make it home, no cars and no parents if you want to even call them that. Worst parents of the year go to these people, they have had that title for the last four years. I walk up the stairs and start my homework on my bed before going to my window seal and grabbing my knife. I head to the bathroom and turn the water on, I strip out of the clothes from today and walk in slowly.

I grab my knife and start to cut my thighs and wrists, watching the water turn clear to blood covered in seconds. I stop after I felt tired and drained, I crawled out. Pulling on clean clothes before grabbing my dirty ones and walking to the laundry room downstairs, I almost fell down the stairs from the dizziness a few times. I make it to the laundry room and start my clothes; I sit down and start to slowly fall asleep

I suddenly woke up as a loud beeping went off, I get off the floor and change the clothes out into the dryer. I walk into the kitchen and pick up a small apple, I munch on it as the dryer goes. Later I'm back in my room putting the clean clothes away and crawling into my cold bed. Slowly falling asleep, only to wake up in the middle of the night with sweat going down my face at the nightmare
