Not So Average Life

30- Mission Impossible

After I finished my meal, I went into the living room and turned on the tv. The others were still outside, talking and having fun. Just then, Jay, Cameron and Ryan approached me.

"Hey bitch, you know we didn't just came here for the food." Cameron pressed both his hands on my shoulder really hard.

"It.. it hurts." I whimpered.

"Good. Now come on." He pushed my head. "You know the chemistry work teacher gave us, it takes up 30% of our marks?"

"Uh yea?" I carefully nodded.

"Great, you'll be doing that for us." Jay commanded me. "Three of us. And it better not be the same."

"The deadline is next week." I exclaimed.

"Do I look like I give a shit?" Jay yanked my hair. "So I don't care, stay up all night or whatever."

I pushed him off. "N.. no!" I spent two weeks on my homework, this was rather mission impossible.

"I was hoping you'd say no." Jay played with his fingers confidently.

"Wait what?" I was so confused.

"You two grab her and come up." Jay ordered and led the way.

Cameron and Ryan each held one of my hand then began dragging me from the couch, over the living room all the way up the stairs as Jay led them straight into my room. I tried to shout all along the way but Jay immediately gaged me with his hand not wanting to let me draw attention to myself. As we reached my room, they threw me unto the floor with me letting out a loud groan.

"You better not make a sound. I have no fucking idea what you did or told Sean and Blake or who else of my brothers, I will not fall for this little sister scheme. I fucking hate you alright? Every time you have an accident, I'd hope you die. And you better not tell any of this to my brothers. They're supposed to be on my side but then you came in and turned them against me by I don't know how." Jay preached.

His anger was obviously not just about me not wanting to do their homework. I could see as he tighten his fist. The first punch landed on my right face causing me to fall onto the ground after I just got up. Then he backed me to a wall when Cameron dashed beside me and locked both my hands. Then Ryan and Jay kept hitting me and punching me from my face to my stomach.

"Please.... please stop." I begged.

"Oh, sure. Do you want 10 gold bars too?" Jay mocked sarcastically. The others laughed. "Well I assume you'll be doing our work them. Thanks."

Then Cameron let go of me as I fell unto the floor in utter defeat.

"You know what? Since you're already doing 3 people's work, you might as well do four." Ryan walked towards my study table and found my chemistry homework. He then tore it to shreds and crumpled all the pieces and threw it all over my room. Without any energy left in me to fight back I just lied in the floor wincing in pain from the beating I just got. Then three of them happily hopped out of my room. I was left exhausted on the floor.

Why does he hate me so much. Why does everyone choose to bully me. Why do I make everyone around me miserable?

A disgusting feeling overwhelmed me suddenly as I landed my eyes upon the blade I used last time. But thankfully, this feeling wasn't strong enough to have led me into hurting myself. I calmed myself down as tears continuously rolled down my cheeks. The feeling of hurting myself often came after other people hurt me. It was my way of making me feel better. It was only for a moment. Usually when I get my senses back, it felt terrible and I feel ashamed and embarrassed. But still, I always get the urge to do it.

I slowly got up despite my pain and started working on their homework as well as mine. I knew it was impossible to finish it all on time. Just then, someone knocked on my door. "Come in."

Sean them came in. "Why're you in your room? And what did Jay want? I saw he and his friends just came out of your room. Wait he wasn't bothering you again was he? I'll fucking beat him up."

"Don't swear." I softly said.

He smiled. "Fine."

"And they wasn't bothering me, they just uh... asked about school stuff." I lied.

He stared at me for a moment. "You sure?"

"Of course." I chuckled. "Stop worrying about me. Since when do you care?"

He froze.

Shoot. That came out not so right.

"N.. no no no. I'm sor- it wasn't suppose to come out that way." I quickly apologise realising what I just said.

"No, it's ok. Actually I'm sorry. If I hadn't treated you like that before, this would've just come out as a joke and I know that's what you intended. So no hard feelings ok." Sean ruffled my hair.

I could see a hint of disappointment in his eyes as he walked out the door and believe me, I felt horrible for bringing the past up. And another thing, gosh. What is it with them and ruffling my hair. They don't even do it to their brothers that often. But seeing the awkward tension just now, I didn't stop him

*Ringgg*
I finally finish my physics class as I made my way to lunch. I quickly started my search for Lexi wanting to vent to her about my hate for physics and the teacher and other things. When I saw her familiar purple jacket at the lockers that she wore today, I approached her. She was talking with somebody. As I got closer, I learned that person was Kathy. Insecurity and anxiety immediately filled me.

What are they talking about? Are they talking about me? Is Kathy trying to take away my friend? Is she turning Lexi against me by telling her bad things about me? They're laughing! Are they laughing about me? Will Lexi leave me for Kathy?

A thousand question rushed through my head. Finally it stopped when I was interrupted.

"Hey Em." Lexi gently patted my shoulder.

I stared at her.

"Is everything ok?" She asked me.

I nodded my head. "Yep yea yea. I just zoned out."

She laughed. "So what's for lunch today?" She grabbed my hand and we headed for lunch.

Although I wanted to act like it was nothing, but it has been bugging me the whole weekend.
