All Chapters of Once Her Bully, Now Her Beggar: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

DYLANI got a lot more than an earful from my dad. He went on and on about how I was going to be a failure if I kept acting like an idiot. I didn't dare make a squeak as he kept berating me, when he got like that I just swallowed my words and kept it to myself. The last time I spoke back at him he threw an oak side table in my face which took me to the hospital and I left with thirty-six stitches on the side of my head. I still had the scar to remind me of everything. In the middle of it, a call came in from Lilian, Amelia’s mom. That was my saving grace.I couldn't help but wonder what was going to happen since her daughter was involved.First the next morning, I got dressed and rushed out of the house to avoid my dad. I couldn't wait for him to get out of the house and head for his next business trip. I always had to walk around eggshells whenever he was home one slip up and I wouldn't hear the end of it. For someone who is barely present in my life, he sure makes it difficult.I d

NOVA“Tell me the exact emotions that can describe how you feel right now,” the therapist said, I had another session with her, and since I was still in the hospital so she came to the ward“Anger, Hate, Hurt, Confusion ” I listed it out truthfully exactly how I was feeling not filtering anything out“Do you want to talk about why you feel that way?” She asked scribbling down in her notepad. I went silent and didn’t say anything“Thank you for your response. You don’t have to answer anything that makes you uncomfortable” she said with a little comforting smileShe was slipping slowly through the cracks in my heart and I didn’t want to let that happen but at the same time I couldn’t help it.“Let's talk about your childhood, what was that like?” she asked causing my breath to hitch immediately“Your mom mentioned that you had a really close bond with your dad” she added with a smile“Yes” I nodded“Do you miss him?” she asked“Every day,” I said with a little smile“What do you miss ab

“Wait” he shouted when I turned and kept walking back to the ward“What do you want? Try to humiliate me and make fun of me like you guys always did?” I asked, and I refused to bow my head and be pushed around anymoreAlthough Caleb and Elliott didn't do anything to me directly they were affiliated with Dylan who I hated and would always stand and watch, laughing and enjoying it while I was being ridiculed. I tried to avoid him instead of snapping at him because he came to help me also according to May and Kelsey.“No, I wouldn't do that,” he said“Wouldn’t” I scoffed glaring at him“I don't need any pity from you just let me be” I hissed“There is just something you need to know” he added“About?” I asked“Well it has to do with what happened that day,” he said slowlyHe didn't have to completely say it before I understood what he was trying to say. By “That day” he meant the rehearsal day, the day everything hit the rocks.“I don't want to hear it” I brushed him off but he persisted

It was damn near three weeks after the incident, and two weeks since the suspension for Dylan and the rest of them. I was finally cleared to leave the hospital. The moment I heard the words, it felt like I could finally breathe again like something heavy had been sitting on my chest and was finally lifted. I knew things at home weren’t going to be easy. My mom would watch my every move like a hawk, probably for a long time. She was scared, and I couldn’t blame her. But still, I would take that over being trapped in that hospital room any day.The white walls, the cold floors, and that ceiling that always felt like it was closing in on me. It was all starting to drive me crazy. I felt like I was stuck in a loop, reliving everything over and over, and it unlocked nightmares that I fought away. Most nights I didn’t sleep at all, too scared to close my eyes. So yeah, leaving felt like a small win but it didn't mean that everything was okay but at least I was out. I could walk around, feel

I was in bed when I remembered that I was to call Kelsey. I dialed her number, and it did just like it had all day: It went straight to voicemail. So, I decided to send a text instead.“Hey Kel, I haven't heard from you all day. Are you good?” the text read and immediately I could see that she read it but still didn't text backI tried my bestI tossed the phone to the side in irritation to go to bed. I was drifting asleep when I heard my phone ringing loudly beside me. I let out a groan before picking it up without checking who the call was from.“Hello,” I heard Kelsey's voice say through the phone. I brought the phone screen to my face to confirm if it was truly her and it was.“Did I wake you up?” she asked“Mhmm” I mumbled“I'm sorry” she whispered“No it is fine, are you good?” I asked while sitting up“I tried calling all day and I saw you read my text but didn't reply to it,” I told her when she said nothing “I am fine” she breathed out“I jus-” she paused“I just wanted to s
