Hey! So after the release of the song "Glowing in the dark" by The girl and the dreamcatcher (aka Dove Cameron and Ryan McCartan) I had this idea and decided to turn it into a fanfic.
In the video the girl feels something lonely she even imagines a boyfriend and that inspired me, with a little twist ;)
Riley Raymond was just another girl at her school. She was 16, almost 17 and had a older sister in the year above her, Emily.
She enjoyed studying because it keep her mind away from the nightmares that hunted her. She was pretty good at all her subjects, particulary Literature. She loved reading. It was one of her true loves, apart from dance, of course. She always loved those romantic stories, especially the forbidden ones. How ironic...
She was in the dance club of her school along with her sister. She loved dancing. It was as if while dancing, Riley became a completely different person, a more confident one. Though she was too shy to ever show how good at it she could be.
Riley was a sweet girl who was always willing to help others, but for some reason they decided she was a good target.
Maybe it was because she was short, maybe because she was ugly, maybe because she was a nerd... Riley didn't know at this point... All she knew was that, the moment her feet stepped into the school there would always be some popular kid making fun of her, shaking her until she feel on the ground or simply laughing at her.
Her sister was considered a popular girl and she tried to help her but she failed at it.
It was never nothing too serious, or at least that was what Riley thought, until this day.
Riley was walking around the cantine, trying to find a spot to eat, alone, just enjoying some peace. But destiny didn't want that. She got distracted with some kid throwing food at another one, and she didn't see them. She pumped into Charlie and Beth, the most popular couple in school. The captain of the footbal team and his cheerleader girlfriend. Her food was all over their clothes and they were looking at her as if trying to kill her.
Riley thought about running away but it was too late. The mess was done, now she had to deal with it.
'Well done, Raymond... Well done' she thought to herself, afraid of what was coming.
"You stupid bitch! You do you think you are! You just ruined my clothes and embarrassed me and Charlie-Bo in front of the whole school! You are gonna wish you were never born!" Beth shouted at Riley and slapped her. She felt her left cheek burning but she ignored it, too scared to even understand what had just happened.
Charlie, who was way taller than Riley, approached her and grabbed her by her neck, throwing her to the floor and quicking her in the leg. "You heard her, Raymond. Death will be least of your fears because of this"
Riley got up as quickly as she could, her legs shaking, and ran out of the place. She went to the bathroom, her safe heaven in that school.
'God help me...' She kept think to herself. Tears were streaming down her face but she made no noise. Afraid that would worsen the situation.
XxX
When her last class finished, Riley terrified of what was going to happen.
She knew they could be very mean, she had experienced ot first-hand.
She had asked Emily if she could give her a ride home but her sister said she was going to her boyfriend's house (Hunter) and couldn't drive her.
That made Riley fear her life 10000 thousand times more.
She got out of school, trying not to be seen and she thought she was making a good job at it.
It was only 7 minutes walking until her house, but she did pass by some pretty suspicious dark alleys.
She was only 1 block away from home when it happened.
She felt someone grab her by her waist, a hand covering her mouth. She was dragged into one of the alleys and thrown to the floor.
In front of her were Charlie, Beth, Jake and Tobby, the best players of the football team.
"Hey, bitch! Ready for some fun?" Beth asked her, pressuring her high heel in Riley's thigh. She let out a cry and that only made Beth slap her again.
"Shut up!" Charlie roared and hit her where Beth had hurt her.
It wasn's long until the others followed him, hitting her eveywhere. Pain took over Riley's head.
Their anger was insane and they didn't stop. When Riley's cries started to faint, it only made them hit her harder, as if enjoyed her screams. Which they actually did. Beth kept laughing, enjoying it the moest.
She tried to retract herself, turning her body into a ball, but nothing helped. She legs were completely sore, some of her ribs probably broken as well as one of her fingers, from being stepped on. She had several cuts and blood covered her.
She protected her head to avoid more damage and the tears in her eyes dried. She just wanted it to end. she wanted death to come once and for all.
She was sick of her life anyway... All the bullying, all the familiar issues, all the anxiety...
If death meant it would all stop, then maybe that was what she wanted.
All of a sudden, they all stopped and Riley thought they were going to leave her. She was actually relieved.
She was mistaken. Beth kneeled next to her and grabbed her hair in her hands, pulling it. "You are gonna die!" She whispered in Riley's hear.
She saw Charlie moving his foot closer and closer to her head and then all went black.
