Leaving

I woke up with a headache and some bruises on my body. I look at the time and see that it was 3:00 AM. It’s a devil hour. Although I believe in God but I couldn’t help to be afraid of the devil because anytime they can hurt me.


I just wanna stay in this room, don’t wanna go to school. Always got bullied, make fun of me or whatever they want to me. That bully Shian and her friends bully me all the time. Well I can’t blame them since I’m ugly, asymmetrical face, my nose and my body. I’m fat though so they always make fun of me.


My grades dropped. I used to be an academic achiever now I’m just an average. I don’t know what happened to myself. My parents were proud of me but now? They don’t even care about me. They always beat me with a belt and some whip.


I asked myself “am I a human? Or a thing?” Because they always beat me like I’m some kind of a thing.


Now this upcoming morning they will not cook me anything unlike my siblings that got what they want.

I miss my old family.


I cried while thinking about them. Maybe I’ll just get a sleep and woke up 7:20 AM since my class is 9:00 AM.


3rd Person POV:


She went fast asleep, clutching her pillow. It’s the only thing who’s been there for her all the time. The pillow who pick up her tears, the mirror who saw the real her, the music that listen to her and understand her all the time.


She want to be happy but couldn’t be happy why? Because she got bullied for everything and got beaten up but she doesn’t lose hope. She believe that her family will changed and she can get out of there.


If you’re asking if she hate them or not. I will say she doesn’t hate them— she love them with all her heart even her heart is breaking because of her. She believe that everything is just temporary so she doesn’t lose hope.


*At Morning*


Her mom open the her room and plash her with a hot water. She immediately get up and scream. She hiss while looking at her bruises and burn skin.


“Mom why did u do that?” She ask


“Why? Because you get up late now cook us a breakfast bitch.” Her mom shouted.


She look at her with sadness but she didn’t show it. She’s used to these things.


She nod.


“Mom? Can I at least eat with you all?” She asked hopefully.


Her mom look at her with disgust.


“No, you may not. You’re disgusting whore whos always having a boy. You’re a bitch. You don’t deserve to be my daughter like you’re so useless, you even failed. Look at your siblings, they aced in their school. And you? You’re not even closer than them.” Her mom shouted at her.


She hissed in pain. Her heart hurts how her mom treated her.


She went downstairs cooking their breakfast and after she cook she put the food in the dining table and secretly pick some food for hersef.


She went back to her room and went to the bathroom and shower. By her shower, she cried hardly as she think what her mom said to her earlier.


She think that if she really a useless person and will not be successful enough and not be closer to her siblings.


After she took a shower, she eat the food that she secretly pick from the table.


Minutes later.


She went downstairs and made her way to the school. The school isn’t too far it’s just 1km away. She just walk and observe her surroundings.


She got into the school, she make a new way so she won’t be bullied in early morning.


When she got into her classroom, she was met by her bullies.


“Trying to get away bitch?” Shian, the team leader of the bullies.


If you’re wondering if the school did anything about this situation. I will answer no they didn’t do anything because the bullies are powerful. They feel bad at her but they couldn’t do anything. The only thing they did is pray to her.


“N-no, I-i didn’t got a-away w-why?” Her voice is shaky, her legs wobble. All she think was praying for herself that the bullies won’t go too far.


“Really? *slap* how dare you say that to us. *slap*. Nicole the second bully said.


The students look at her with sadness.


Her cheeks got pale and red.


Then the third bully grab her hair and cut it. She tell them to stop because it’s precious to her.


“N-no, p-please d-don’t!!! She cried.


The bullies laughed.


The bullies plashed her with oil. Stick a bubble gum on her hair. They slapped her and beat her until she cough blood.


The bullies didn’t spare her, not even one bit. They continue to laugh and smirk at her.


“Loser!!!” They shouted.


She get up and grab her bag and went to the school’s shower room. She took a shower and cried.


The bullies followed her and tear her clothes. They went out quitely and laughed.


When she finish shower, she look at her clothes got ripped. She got into her knees knowing her bullies was the one who did it. She couldn’t do anything, it happened already so what is she supposed to do?


She grab her spare clothes and suite herself.


She couldn’t think anything but one thing she knows she will go to the cemetery to visit her grandparents.


When she got there, she sat on their grave and cried loudly.


“Lola, lolo, they hurt me again. I couldn’t do anything. Am I really that useless? *hiccups* It hurts so much. They p-put an oil to me and stuck a bubble gum on my hair. What am I gonna do? *hiccups* I wanna be with you two please…

I beg you please…” she spoke with her shaky voice and in pain.


She lay down beside their grave and cried and cried until it’s nighttime. She continue to cry and spoke with them. Even if she can’t see them but one thing she knows that they are there for her— always.


She look at the stars and one thing that crosses her mind is to kill herself.


She walk away from the cemetery and went to the bridge.


As she got there, she breath deeply and just look at the stars.


She climbed the railings and jumped.


*splash*


All she see is darkness, she close her eyes and let the water filled her inside. This is what she need. Peace and away from pain.


One thing she’s happy is she got free from everything. The water slowly filled her body and now all she knows that she can’t breath and slowly going down at the bottom of the sea.


Next morning.


The news spread that a girl jumped from the bridge and now the girl is dead. A 17 years old girl died from suicide.


The school were shocked and decide to post it online about everything she’s been through but they got hate because why did they take action after she died? Not helping her when she was alive? Oh what a disgusting school.


The bullies were shocked to know about the news and they got hate from social medias and now the people helping the girl who got died to get a justice.


They learned that her family also beat her and say harshful words to her and now they want justice for her.


Eventually the people got her a justice. The school got down, the bullies got handled by the authorities and her family got arrested for child abuse.


From what they says “they only care when you’re gone.”


She didn’t leave any letter, that’s how heartbreaking she was but what her family didn’t know that she doesn’t hate them and she love her all with her heart. One last thing she want is to get her family happy— which is dying.
