Brielle

forty-one

I didn't know how badly my life could take a turn in less than a week, from breaking up with my boyfriend to getting made fun of at school.

I can hear Leo mumble stuff under his breath as I hear heels click against the floor, getting closer and closer.

"So," I hear the high pitched voice that I would recognise from miles away. One of the people that have destroyed my social life.

"Where's Gray?" I lift my head and look at them, their faces scrunch up in disgust by my appearance. Something I haven't put effort into recently.

I shrug, not giving any attention to them, something they crave the most. Something they'd do anything for, which includes making my life a living hell.

"I heard about your break up," My eyebrows furrow how did they find out? "Well we didn't actually get told, we worked it out ourselves. We wondered why you looked so... depressed."

A loud sigh escapes me, I know I look depressed, I haven't slept in days and I'm barely eating. I just miss him so much.

My heart aches every time I think about him.

"You think that's why she's upset?" Leo growls, anger flowing through his tone as he bites at them. Making me smile, happy someone's sticking up for me.

"Watch your mouth, Leo," Maddie suggest, her tone menacing and evil, "Your foster mummy would be happy to finally have a reason to get rid of you. We were thinking of holding back and not sending the photos to her, but I guess we could now."

He visibly gulps from beside me and I don't blame him for staying quiet, I don't want his life to be ruined as well as mine.

I wouldn't want to put the pain onto someone else.

"We wanted to speak to him and you know," Ryen sends me a wink and I frown, loathing the fact they want to try and get with him, "I'm not surprised he broke up with you, I would too if I found out my girlfriend was fucked by multiple guys, at once."

Everything in my body hurts, if only they knew the truth. The only people who do are Gray, Ben and Leo. Who I told on Monday after the rumours ran around.

Ben cried when I told him, incredibly upset that he didn't do anything about it at the time.

"But you know, he'd be happier with us," She smiles, "We could give him what he wants."

I sigh, watching them giggle and walk away like the evil freaks they are. Oh how I hate them and would do anything to strangle them. I think most people would.

Or travel back in time so I can change the way this has ended.

"They're such bitches," Leo grumbles, looking my way and sighing. "I'm sorry I didn't say anything."

I hit my head against the locker, "It's fine. I get it."

~~

It's the next day, and I'm by my locker again, head on the cold metal surface and hood up covering my face.

"Is he here today?" I ask, Leo, knowing the answer will probably be no. He's most likely getting sick of me ask this question every day.
