sweater to cover up my wrists.
Good for you, you deserve a medal. I thought.
“ Dec tried to wake you up but you wouldn’t budge.” Scarlett said a little too happily.
“Why are you so happy?” I asked taking a seat next to Declan. I saw there were pancakes on the counter so I grabbed one but it was hard. I dropped it back on the plate. Awesome.
“Em , everything worked out fine and we can get everything out to Seattle by the end of the week.” Mom said.
Even better. My family will leave me to fend for myself.
“I saw a picture of the house. It’s great. It’s prettier and bigger than this one.” said Scarlett.
I rolled my eyes at the thoug ht of my family leaving at the end of the week. My birthday’s in less then two weeks. I know I’m being selfish. “Did you talk to Mrs. D-Rachel yet? I decided I’m going to stay with her until I graduate.” I said. Declan put his hand on mine and frowned.
“ You’re going to stay behind? I was looking forward to spending some time together.” He said. We always had a special bond. I miss it.
I looked at him apologetically. Well that makes two of us.
“I couldn’t get a hold of her. If you see at her school tell her. I will keep tryi ng to reach her.” Mom cut in.
“I’m going to study for a test.” I lied because I don’t want to be here right now. Near happy people who want to move and start fresh. How can someone start fresh when their life was completely destroyed?
I took a Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino from the fridge and headed to my room. I’m not in the mood for family time. I got my books out and made it look like I was studying. I opened my curtains and let the sunlight come in. I even opened the window for some fresh air. I went to lie down on my bed and looked out at the birds in the trees. They looked happy. I saw the mother bird feeding its babies. I almost smiled.
My phone chimed. I went to reach for it and expected Tiffany or Bryan to be texting about the move. It was Unknown.
Unknown : Emily, you look beautiful this Sunday morning. Didn’t tell anyone yet? You’re good at keeping secrets/ Nobody can help you, just wanted to remind you.
My eye s widened. How did he get my number? I shouldn’t be surprised. He knows everything. I got up quickly and peeked outside. I shut my window and made sure all of them were locked tight. I looked outside again and found no one. Great. He has me where he wants me. Trapped.
I shut the curtains and went back to bed.
I shut my eyes and made myself go to sleep. I put it in my mind that I will find him, even if I die trying. Because inside, I’m already dead. I don’t know how other people feel after this happens to them but I feel numb. Worthless. I don’t feel like me so I feel like a nobody.
I will hunt him d own and I will take care of it.
He will not get away with this.

I woke up at three in the morning, took a shower and put clothes on. I don’t feel like going to school but if Mom couldn’t get in touch with Mrs. Diaz, I have to go to school and tell her.
My wrists are still bluish and my arms and legs are covered in the same color. My rapist was very rough with me. There’s another reason why I feel worthless. I was used and treated like shit.
I put some jeans on and a tank top but that didn’t work. I can still see where he touched me. I can still feel where he touched me.
I put on Alex’s sweater and put my hair in a loose messy bun.
I went on the computer for a bit. Biggest mistake of my miserable life. Facebook had all the latest news about Sophie’s party. Of course the people that saw me and Alex leave together said something. They stretched the truth and said I should get an award for “Biggest Slut.” I agree.
Apparently everyone thinks this is true, I should to o.
I lo gged off and checked my emails.
I jumped when someone knocked on my door a few minutes later.
“Come in.” I managed to say.
“Hi honey, just checki ng to see if you’re awake.”
Good for you, you deserve a medal. I thought.
