I never meant for this to happen, I was just jealous, so I let Rachel say whatever she wanted to Abbie. deep down I knew it was wrong, but what could I do? I didn't expect Abbie to take it seriously, I always thought she was always so much stronger than that. I never said anything against Abbie, I swear I didn't! I just watched as Rachel bullied her. Which is somehow worse... because how could I possibly look her mother in the eyes, or walk past her house, or pass her brother in the hallways knowing that I could have stopped it?

I always looked up to Abbie, she was gorgeous, she was the type of girl that was always so fun to be around. She I knew that Rachel felt threatened by her, Rachel knew everyone loved Abbie- genuinely loved her- and Rachel couldn't stand the thought of someone being comfortable with themselves when Rachel herself wasn't. I guess I thought that because I wasn't saying anything I wasn't doing any harm. Maybe my not saying anything was doing more harm.
