Gone Bad

“What did I tell you last year?” Cole whispered, his mouth right next to my ear, letting hot air fan over my cheek. My heart beat picked up at his voice and I began to struggle against his hold. He’s going to kill me! Was my first thought. He’s going to snap my neck and run. “What did I tell you?!” he shouted, yanking me forwards before slamming me against the lockers. A small whine escaped me and I closed my eyes as they began filling with tears. “I told you not to mess with me, didn’t I?” he whispered again, his voice dangerously low. I nodded holding back the tears, scared to do anything else. “Open your eyes and look me in the face,” he hissed. My eyes snapped open to see his blue eyes clouded over with anger centimetres from my face. “Don’t. Mess. With. Me!” With one last shove he walked off, leaving me to sink to the floor tears streaming down my face. I hadn’t even done anything wrong. He bullied me far worse than anyone else thought. Adam thought he just pranked me to humiliate me. Max thought he just called me names. Sylvia thought he teased me. My parents didn’t even know. No one knew the physical and mental damage he caused. Although, I was not to tell anyone otherwise he would kill me. He would actually drag me to the forests and drive a knife through me heart if I told anyone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roxie's life is already broken.
