The Reason

Tony dropped me off at home and I went upstairs to my room. I'm starting to like my mom. I didn't ask any questions about my dad or why she left me. I felt like that would get her angry or get her to not like me. She seemed very caring and sweet.. It makes me wonder about what could have happened between her and my dad.. Suddenly, there's a knock on my Door and my dad appears. "Hey sweetheart, how did it go?" he asked, sitting on my bed next to me. "I think it went well.. She seemed to really care about me."

"That's great. It's about time she met you."

We talked for a little while before my dad and I went to go make dinner. After dinner, I took a shower and went to bed feeling oddly happy and secure.

I wake up the next morning feeling great, like nothing can hurt me. Things are finally patching up between my family, and I have so much support with me. I get dressed in a Bring Me The Horizon shirt and blue jeans. My dad and I share small talk at breakfast before I head out to school. Suddenly my stomach drops as soon as I see the schoolyard. I take a deep breath and walk in.

Soon enough the name calling began.

"EWWW LOOK AT THAT FAGGOT!!"
"Gross! Look at what she's wearing!"
"What's wrong with her face?"
"Fucking emo faggot!"

Any confidence I had left at that very moment. Those two girls, Sarah and that brunette girl, came up to me once I made it to the front doors. They both looked angry. Oh no.
"LOOK ANNA! ITS THAT BITCH THAT TRIED TO STEAL YOUR BOYFRIEND!"

What!? Steal her boyfriend!?

"WHAT!? What are you talking about?! I don't even know who your boyfriend is!"
"Shut up you bimbo! Sarah told me she saw you trying to steal my boyfriend from me!"
"I NEVER-"

I didn't get to finish my sentence because she punched me square in the face. I fell to the ground and she continued punching me. Soon a large crowd formed, cheering her on and them insulting me. She punched me in the eye, mouth and nose before Sarah pushed her off and began ripping off chunks of my hair and punching me in the stomach. I was crying and screaming for them to get off of me but the more I tried, the harder they punched. Blood was pouring out of my lips and nose and my eye was swollen shut. The bell rang and they both gave one final punch to my good eye before the entire crowd stepped over me to get inside. I laid there not caring that I was missing class. Blood kept pouring out and my eyes were both swollen shut. I couldn't get up because I was weak and kept slipping on blood. I somehow made myself stand up and walk to the park. I can't go home, my dads there and he'll go crazy if I look like this and skip school. I walk to an abandoned park and fall asleep on a bench.

When I wake up, it's cloudy. Then it starts pouring rain. The cold water feels good on my skin as it washes away all the dried up blood from my face. I lay there facing the sky, wishing I wasn't alive.
