"Watch it!" I yelled at a student who was busy rushing, she had accidentally bumped into me causing my head to hit my locker really hard. She didn't bother to apologise because she didn't even notice me standing here, I couldn't bring myself to tell her to apologise being that stupid girl that I am. I noticed a lot of students trooping and rushing to the same direction and I was wondering if a fire alarm went out signalling them to run. "What's the fuss all about?" I asked Maya who was besides me laughing at the look on my face after the girl bumped into me. Maya Anderson is my best friend and the only friend I have, technically to use the word best friend I should at least have three friends before considering my best friend but then I don't care she's still my best friend. Maya Anderson is a kind of reckless girl and the opposite of me, she doesn't give a fuck about what people think about her and has always stood up for me.

It was time to close from work so I had left immediately it was 6pm, I was really getting hungry already. My house was a little bit far from the mall, I had to pass the school route but then with no money on me walking is the only option I have. After an hour of walking on the streets and admiring the stars I finally got home. " Isabella!!" Joe ran to hug me immediately I opened the door. I gave him a kiss on his forehead and ruffled his hair with my hands which made him chuckle. "How was school?" I asked him and the brightest beam of smile appeared on his face. "I met a beautiful girl in the library when I was buying the book" he said and chuckled showing off his tooth that had fallen out and I couldn't help but smile. Joe was just 8 years old and thus a really adorable cute kid, ever since my mother had left I had been taking care of him like he was my own son. I loved it when he would come to my room and lay on my bed whenev

"Let's go home!" Maya suddenly dragged my hand out of the building. "Hey where have you been, I have been looking for you all over the house!" I yelled but noticed her expression was different, she was in totally different mood. "What's up.. what happened?" I asked but she still didn't say anything, we entered her car and she crashed her head on the steering wheel and completely broke into tears. "What happened to you?" I asked the already crying lady that was beside me. She was just happy and dancing some hours ago and now she's wailing. "I'm a bad person Isabella!" She cried and I patted her back reassuring her that she'll be fine. I didn't want to push her the more to tell me about it because Maya was a type of girl that wouldn't open up her feelings immediately she gets hurt. "I'll drive" I said and she opened the driver's seat door and entered the back seat. I watched how my tough best friend laid on her back seat wailing like a child. Sh

"let me go!" I yelled but he doesn't answer as his grip on me became tighter and firmer. At this point different eyes were on us while some people even brought out their camera just to have a record of what was happening. He dragged me away from the school cafeteria into the Janitor's closet and locked the door behind him. My whole body was numb and I could hear the rise and fall of my heartbeat. I made to reach for the door but he dragged me back and pinned my body against the wall. "What the hell do you want from me?" I yelled but hissed almost immediately as his grip on my hands became tighter. "Why the fuck were you ignoring my messages" he said with his face really close to mine that I could feel the heat from his mouth as he spoke. "What fucking message are you talking abo....oh!" I realized it was him who had been sending those anonymous messages to me

It was time for school and Grace had promised to take care of Joe but nevertheless I wanted to do it myself because I missed doing it even though it's not up to a week yet. "I missed you Isabella, please don't stay away for too long so you won't leave like mum" he cupped my hand with his two little hands as he looked at me with his big brown eyes and wet curly hair. "Joe I'm never going to leave you and I'm letting you know this" "But she said you were going to leave like my mum" he said and I raised his chin to look at me. "Who said that?" I asked and he wiped the tears off his face with his wet hands. "My girlfriend" he said and more tears started to run down his eyes. I would explain to him later about the girlfriend thing but now is a different time. "I don't see any reason for me to leave you Joe, Always and forever will I be with you even in my grave" I said and he hugged me tight. I placed a kiss on his head and tried to stop th
