I laid in bed that evening, I was tired.
I was tired of living, I wanted to die, but I was too scared to take my life.
Not only that, but I wished uncle Bruce were here, he always knew what to do.
He always said if only he could hand me down his skills, so I could be as cool as him.
But I wasn't him, I tried again to call him, but his phone kept going to voicemail.
I dropped the phone on the bedside table as I turned to the other side of the bed when I heard my door open.
"Hey Floyd, can I talk to—"
"Please go away" I quickly said as I covered my head with my blanket?
"Please, it is very important" My dad said at the other said of the room as I heard him walk in and shut the door behind him.
"Can you turn over?" He asked.
I knew that regardless of what I did, he was going to have this conversation whether I liked it or not.
It was better to get over it already, I thought to myself as I turned around.
I could see the sad look on his face as he looked at me with disappointment.
"Why did you do it?" He asked.
"Do what?"
"What do you mea—"
"I didn't do anything, and why has everyone been giving me that look?" I asked, rather annoyed.
"Boy, listen to me! Sarah said you tried to touch her without her permission" he said in a low tone.
"Is that a nice way to say that she accused me of rape" I answered as he lifted his head to look at me as I looked down.
"Did you do it?"
"Will it matter if I said anything?"
"Look, Sarah's parents said they wanted to settle this outside court, and you should be grateful that you are not in jail" He said as he got up to leave.
I heard him lock the door behind me.
Tears rolled down my eyes as I struggled to get up and turn up the Bluetooth speaker on the table as I walked into the shower and sat in the bath tub.
I turned on the shower and cried in my bath tub all night, I wished I never woke up the next day, but I did.
Going to school was worse, I had to get my report from school and get my letter for suspension, so I had no choice.
I stood outside the house as Madison walked up to me.
"Listen pervert, you better keep off me and Cassie" She said as she spat in front of me before walking away.
I wanted to scream, but I didn't have the strength to say anything as I took out my headphones and walked to school.
As I walked down the hall, everybody gave me a disgusting look as I threw my hoodie over my head and kept my books in my locker.
I wished I would just drop dead, and it will be all be over, but I guess I was not getting my wish granted.
After picking up the letter of suspension and extra punishment for cleaning the gym during the holidays, the principal gave a long speech about how lucky I was that I was getting away with a suspension while others ended in jail.
I wanted to be alone, and I figured out that as it was the last day of school and everybody was almost out, the roof will be empty.
The cold breeze flowed in, I loved the winter break, it was my best holidays as I get to spend it in my room without being disturbed.
The sharp pain on my back sent me turning as I crashed into the wall, I screamed in pain as I looked up to see the punch coming as it landed on my face, pushing me to my knees.
I couldn't see who they were, but they hit hard, I could feel my ribs aching, and I hoped I haven't broken a few yet.
"Listen bitch, that what you get for touching my girl" a deep voice said.
I knew one thing for sure that it didn't belong to a freshman in high school as I looked up to see someone wearing a black hoodie and matching jeans looking at me.
He looked older like he was in college and his friends looked the same.
Behind him was Madison and Sarah laughing at me.
"I didn't do it" I called out with my last strength out of anger like it will make a difference, but I felt a punch in my stomach as I groaned in pain.
"Hey, that enough dead people don't pay" Another one said.
He just walked in because he wasn't there when I checked, from the way the others moved out of his way; I figured he was the leader of the gang.
He grabbed my hair as he punched me a couple more times, I could feel the sharp pain in my nose and left eye as I screamed in pain.
"Shut up" He said as he smashed in head into the floor as I felt his shoe over my head.
"You touched my friend's girl, and you have to pay" he said, pressing his foot harder.
I wanted to scream and fight back, but I was too scared to say anything.
"I am going to take my foot off your head, but you owe me a million ehm and you better pay up when school resumes okay?" He said as he took his foot off my head.
"I—It too much, I can't get that?" I groaned in pain as he kicked my jaw.
"Not my problem kid but you better get money" He said as he walked towards my step-sister to kiss her.
"You sure he can get the money?" He asked her, holding her face tightly.
"Yes his dumb dad will give him trust me" She replied as he left her go and looked back at me smiling before walking out.
I took out my phone to dial the only person I could call as it rang a couple of times before a voice said, "hello who is—"
"Dad, please come get me am at school" I said as I fainted.
