I trudge softly in the empty hallway, trying to be as quiet as a mouse.

In Southshire high, I would be the one person almost everyone hates.

I have no clue why.

"Aw , Pey" I freeze in my tracks as a masculine voice booms behind me.

Shit.

"Not so fast" Christopher and his friends crowd around me, trapping me in.

"Why are you doing this?" My voice shakes

He ignores me and my head cracks to the side when someone punches my face.

"Imagine if Erica was here" His blonde friend, Richard sniggered.

Erica was the mean girl in the school but not your typical mean girl. She was openly lesbian and had recently moved to Italy.

Another pang of pain spread on my face , signifying that I'd been punched again.

My eyes fill with tears.
What have I ever done to deserve this?

"Get up, whore"
"Worthless piece of shit"

"You don't deserve to live"

Tears blinding my vision, I run. I run as fast as my feet can take me.
My house isn't that far from school so I make it.
No ones home.
Good.

Those boys' words ring in my brain as I'm making lunch.
"You don't deserve to live"
"You don't deserve to live"

More tears come and the desire to hurt myself becomes stronger.
I stare at the knife, it's smooth metal shining in the light. It's calling to me.

I hold it to my skin, getting a sick pleasure from seeing red drip from the knife.
I'm a worthless piece of shit.

My wrist burns

I deserve to die.

I close my eyes.

I should never-

The knife is knocked out of my hands.
"What the hell?" I open my eyes, staring right at my mother.
"Peyton Rochelle Charleston!" My mother's eyes are shock-filled, glossy as she sees my bloody wrist.

It all flows out. I don't know how. I tell her about everything.

"Peyton" My mother slumps on the floor next to me.
"I can't, mom, I just can't" I fall into her arms
"I've made a big mistake" Her whisper makes me stop.
She continues "I was drunk. It was 5 months ago. I didn't mean to, Peyton, I really didn't mean to" She bursts into tears.
"What?"
Her green eyes are solemn when she looks at me
"I slept with another man"
I gasp and get away from her.
"I'm such an idiot" She goes on "I told your father and he was mad. Peyton..." her voice breaks.
"Mom"
"I messed up. I'm so sorry" Her body wracks with sobs "I love your father"
"Mom" I say.
From my peripheral, I see the rest of my family walk in, freezing when they see us.
"We need a new start." I stand up and my fathers and sisters gazes fall on my arms.
"We should move" My mom says softly.

And so we did. We left that godforsaken town.

I stared at the retreating area and vowed to myself.
I was gonna come back.
And I was gonna ruin every single one who broke my family
