A week ago, my friend, Emma, and I were getting ready to walk home from school when she remembered she had student council duties. As I was putting things in my locker, I felt a yank on my hair and quickly turned around. 

"What the hell! I-" I was silenced when I felt a heavy thud on my head that knocked me unconscious. 

When I woke up, I was surrounded by three girls. I only recognized one of them, from my art class. Anna.

"You better stay away from Ray, you piece of shit. How did he ever pick you, out of all people?!" I heard her say. 

"What are you talking about-" Again I felt a kick toward my face. I tried standing up but I couldn't.

"Don't play dumb with me. I know you have a crush on him, but he's mine. Got that?" she spat. I rolled my eyes. Even when severely bruised, I still refuse to give in. 

"Whatever you say," I said. "Well I need to go home, or my friends will worry." 

As I tried to calmly walk away from what just happened.

"And if I see you cozy up with Ray again, I'll make you wish you were dead," Anna said.

A week later

I couldn't tell anyone, not even Emma of what happened. I told them it was a skateboard accident. 

But when Anna would bully, even more, when it got suspicious. Even Ray was worried. 

"(y/n), you're seriously scaring me," Ray stated. "You keep coming to class covered in bruises. Is everything okay?" 

I nodded quickly. I couldn't say a thing to him. I smiled. "Yes, I'm fine Ray. But thanks for caring." 

He smiled back. "Anything for you," he said while ruffling my hair. I grinned even though the internal bleeding ached. When he left I saw Anna staring daggers at me. 

This time, she didn't even wait for school to end. She literally yanked me inside a janitor's closet. 

"You really want to suffer do you?!" I heard her say. "Because yeah, I'll grant your wish. I'll make you regret being born."

She slapped my face until I was dizzy. My eyes stung. I felt my skirt being ripped as my hair was pulled. I tried screaming but a sock was shoved into my mouth. I gagged.

Death doesn't seem so bad. I mean, compared to this, it seems almost heavenly. No more suffering, no more pain. Anna was right. She did make me wish I was dead. 

I wish they'd let me go. I can go straight home and end myself. Then everyone would win. Anna would get with Ray, what she always wanted. And I could be free. No longer alive, but free. 

The world would be better off without me. No one needs me anyway.

(a/n-I didn't know whether to do angst with a happy ending or just angst.  So if you prefer to be just angst, the story would end right here. But if you want a happy ending, keep reading.)

I was saying my goodbyes silently when suddenly, I felt another pair of arms lift me up and everything went black. 

One day later

The next time I woke up, I was in a hospital. I looked around. I was no longer in my uniform but in some medical dressings. What happened to me?

I watched as a lady walked in. A doctor, I presume. She smiled sympathetically while I looked at her in confusion.
