If there is one thing that Eos Kara-Elle Blaine is most definitely sure of, is her hate for one boy named Edward Cullen with all of her being. That name made her want to throw up, that name made her dizzy with dread and feel that the merciless chasm of death would take her right then.
He has made sure that every day since they first met in the 10th grade that she suffered and hurt. It was like his mission in life. Almost like he wrote it down somewhere and planned every possible way he could destroy her, like he whispered in everyone's ears… kill her, crush her soul, destroy her sanity, erase her humanity... she didn't know what it was that she'd even done to him... but for some reason he hated her. It made no sense.
However, she was already on the edge of self-destruction, he was just helping shove her toward that edge more and more every day. Her family's last name can be recited around the world, her great great grandfather's products consumed by almost 96% of the population of the world at least once… Crola-cola. Yeah, you know of it don't you? Just 4 years ago she and her Mother moved to Forks Washington because her Mother needed a calm safe place away from media and attention to heal after becoming a drug addict, her health in dire conditions.
She started abusing heroin and cocaine because of her father-in-law's suicide 6 years ago. He did it because of the heavy burden that the company was putting on him, or at least that's what his suicide note said… but everyone knew it was because of his wife's death. Margret Blaine had died just the year before of lung cancer that she'd developed from his second hand smoke. In his mind, he had killed the love of his life, his wife, the mother of his children, his best friend… He tortured himself for it every day since she was diagnosed.
And what made all of this even worse for the Blaine family was that Eos's mother was the one who found him in his closet. He had hung himself from his closet beam with his belt. So three weeks after that, Esther Blaine started doing drugs in her kitchen, unaware that her 11 year old daughter could see everything that she was doing to herself, destroying her body. Eos's father had been oblivious to his wife's new habit for several years after because now he had to take over his father's job. He hardly had any time for his family, he still doesn't have any time now…
Eos's first year at Forks high school was the best she's ever had at that now godforsaken and nightmarish place. She knew just about everybody in the whole school, but Tanya Conners was her closest friend. They didn't hang out the same way most people did with their closer friends. She was there only when Eos really needed her, somehow always being there for every instance Eos needed a shoulder. They never went to the mall together or the movies or stayed at each other's house. Eos couldn't let her in so close… Tanya always knew to give Eos space when she wanted it. Tanya was the only person who knew to the true extent how bad Eos's situation was. Eos didn't mind the fact that most of the people at that school were only nice to her because of who she was, but as long as she had these other people around to help her escape the drama and depression at home, she was fine with it.
But all of that so sadly and unfairly changed the day the Cullen's moved to Forks in the tenth grade.
It was the first day of school and everyone was excited for the new kids, buzzing and gossiping. New students were a commodity in Forks, the fact that there were five of them coming was really special, especially after they'd just gotten the Blaine girl. Eos, being the generally nice and kind hearted person that she was decided to show them around the school, new kid to new kids. She walked up to them and couldn't help but notice how incredibly beautiful they were, unearthly really. The five of them looked like they didn't belong there, in that school, in that state or even in that century. They appeared more like princes and princesses, belonging in a royal court, coming down for a day to experience life as a commoner.
As Eos walked up, she cleared her throat softly as she saw they were talking. She didn't want to interrupt or be rude, so she waited for them to notice her standing there. They all turned towards her with slight smiles on their faces and the short one, the pixie looking one with the spiked haircut, grinned broadly at her. Eos held out her hand so she could shake it.
"Hi, my name is Eos, Eos Blaine. I'd just like to welcome you to Forks high school." She said confidently. The pixie was going to shake her hand willingly and happily… but then he interrupted. Satan, the devil, the redheaded demon with the beautiful topaz eyes…
"What the hell are you supposed to be, a pitiful excuse of a welcoming committee? Disgusting... If you know what's good for you I suggest you leave us. We don't need your fake brand of pathetic greetings." He bit at her, hate emitting from him in waves to her. He glared at his sister and she shrank back, standing beside the blonde intimidating one who glared over at him with anger and confusion. Eos just turned around and walked away as fast as she could. She could hear voices in the halls whispering and murmuring nasty things about her suddenly and tears immediately threatened to spill over her eyes. What did she do that was so wrong? She was only trying to be polite to them...
And from that day on, everyone joined in on Edward Cullen's tormenting of Eos Blaine; it suddenly became cool to pick on her and call her names, to taunt and push and kick and jab… just because Edward did it first. All of the people whom she thought cared about her or even generally liked her, turned and became the faces that haunted her nightmares and ruptured her dreams. All except for Tanya, she stuck by Eos and tried to protect her and be her only friend, but even still she didn't do it always or else she'd become a target too. Everyone called her names, things that were fowl and that if repeated would make you turn your head away in shame.
Every day it was like people would place bets to see who could do the most damage to her, who could break her the most, both physically and mentally. She was pushed into lockers and down stairs and tripped and got things thrown at her. But for some strange and inexplicable reason, she couldn't blame anyone else for her pain and suffering but herself. She felt she deserved the pain, she felt that she just needed to be punished even more for whatever is was she'd done to make everyone want to taste her blood so much…
She began to destroy her own self just last year. Slicing into herself, cutting and bruising and burning, helping the process of destruction along anyway she could… after the last football game of the season that year, someone pushed her off of the bleachers, causing her to break her left arm and leg in six places. Doctors tried to call her home to tell of the damage that had been inflicted on her body, but she managed to keep things under wraps. Her mother and Father had no idea of the pain and suffrage their daughter was going through.
She always hid from everything and everybody, her skin breaking regularly, the smell of blood ever prominent in her nostrils, staining her palate; No one ever seeing her in anything lesser than a turtleneck and long oversized sweat pants, her entire body except for her face cut off from the world's view. As time goes on, the abuse from her classmates never stops. The other Cullen's never did anything to her, they were the very few who didn't cause her pain, anyone could tell they were ashamed of what their brother was causing. But even still they never attempted to stop it or tell of what was going on to the very oblivious adult staff of Forks high school.
So there she was alone and dying slowly, every breath a burden, every heartbeat a little bit weaker than the last, every thought of ending her life… she was lost. She was gone… and no one even cared.
AN: So, Hello everyone! As you can see i've decided to give this story somewhat of a second life. I started writing this a while ago when my writing skills weren't all that great. They were alright for what they were at the time, but I feel that i've improved. I'm still working on it, obviously so i might repost it again a while from now. I still haven't made it to finishing this completely, so I also decided to change the story line so it ends a little sooner and i've fixed some logic holes. If anyone has anything to say at all, feel free to leave a review. I would love to be critiqued, constructive criticizim is always appreciated. So, until next week, love and kisses and all that good shit lol c:
