Empty Bottle

The Beginning

Young 16 year old Caroline Renolds was walking the halls of her high school when she trips, stumbling to the floor. Slowly regaining control of herself she looks up and noticed that her fall was no accident. Her fellow classmates randomly decided to be the cause of her fall. Caroline was confused unto why her, why pick someone who had no relation to them. She couldn't figure it out, but she had no intention to get up and ask them herself. She just calmly picked up her books that took the trip with her to the floor, and walked away. Later, during lunch the same group of teens decided to again pick on her, so they poured their lunch all over her. This caused her to be the the talk of the day, which caused her to cry in almost every class. No teacher seemed to notice her blood red face filled with shiny tears running down her face. Once the bell rang for 6th period she was relieved to know that the day was almost over, but what she didn't know was her troubles we're just starting. 6th period was P.E and as Caroline slowly pulled off her shirt, the other girls began to throw toliet paper at her and calling her names. She looked at them in anger but that didn't stop them from getting closer to her and and begin punching her and hitting her with small objects. She tried everything to make then stop but they continued their cruel actions, finally they throw her outside in just her pants and bra. She trips on a rock the was placed in front of the door and she heads for the floor once again. As she gets up she notices a crowd of people surrounded around her, pointing, laughing, and screaming at her. She runs back inside to put her shirt on, and instead of going to her next class, she runs home to tell her parents. She makes her way home without any trouble, she forwarded straight to her mother and explains everything that happened. As she waits for a reply to help her out, all her mother says back is, "Their just playing with you, it's fine honey." Caroline doesn't take the comment well. Caroline runs to her room, crying, and all she can do is hope for a better day tomorrow, so she goes to sleep early. It's finally morning and Caroline is ready for school, as she begins walking to school, a car pulls up next to her and the people inside begin to throw trash at her and call her names. They leave as soon as they saw a tear fall from her eye. She then began to wonder if she should go to school anyway or just go home, but she makes the decision to go to school. As soon as she takes her first step into her school, she is already being pushed around, as if they were waiting for her to walk in. She begins to cry and rushes out of school and heads back home. As she walks inside her house, her mother begins to yell at her for leaving school. Her mother then begins to beat her for making up lies about the kids bullying her. After she is sent to her room by her mother, Caroline has had enough and she just wants all of it to stop. She carefully makes her way to her mother's bedroom and as she enters her room, she begins to look for her mother's pill bottles. After a few minutes of searching she finally found a bottle of Penicillin. She then heads back to her room closing the door behind her, then locks it. Her mother is in the living room reading a book and just a few moments later she hears a loud bang as if something fell, and she noticed it came from Caroline's room. She quickly runs to her room to see what happened but as she tries to open the door she realizes that it was locked. She then begins to worry, so she bangs on the door screaming Caroline's name, but she gets no response. She looks at the bottom of her bedroom for a sees Caroline on the floor with the pill bottle on her hand. Her mother then begins to cry knowing what the current situation is, and quickly calls the police. Her mother is now terrified and she can only hope that help comes fast enough before it's too late.
