Well This Sucks
An: This is sort of a redo of my first story Red Life because I sort of lost my inspiration for that one since no one seems to like it but that's alright. This one has some similar concepts but with a completely different story line, actually the only real similarity is the schizophrenia so never mind. Also I am dedicating this one to my brother and all those with schizophrenia. On with the story! Fly my pretties! FLY! HE-HE-HE! (Way too much alcohol)
I've made a key because the amount of voices Hailey hears can be confusing to some:
'Female voice'
'Male voice'
Hailey's thoughts
"Visual Hallucination with a voice, can be male, female, or unknown."
(Any of these text styles will only be heard by Hailey or Edward when he is reading her thoughts. Unless of course they are uses for to drive a point home such as: "I hate you!")
Chapter One: First of many!
Inside a small town courtroom sat a small dirty, blond haired girl with watery blue eyes. This three-year old child knew something was happening, and she knew it would change her life. Mommy and Daddy fight a lot. The little girl thought to herself, and looked down at her frayed skirt. She played with the strings as the grown ups talked. "This court is now in session." Said the old judge. "We can now begin the custody hearing of one Hailey Jean Stone, the Daughter of Alex Michael Stone and Susan Margaret Aston. Now correct me if I'm wrong Ms. Aston but you said that you wanted to give up full parental rights to Mr. Stone?" The old man said and Hailey looked up at the mention of her name. "Yeah, that's right he can have the little bitch. I don't want her." Hailey flinched at what her mother said. Why is Mommy so mean? "Dammit Sue I told you not to call her that! She's your daughter for Pete's sake!" She snorted. "Are you even sure she's yours? You never could satisfy me." Daddy might not be my Daddy? Alex sighed. "You know I had the blood test done. She's mine and yours." Oh Daddy is my Daddy. That's good. Sue sneered, and turned to the judge. "Can I just have the papers to sign so he can keep his little whore? I have a plane to catch." The judge handed her the papers, and she quickly signed them.
"I'm out of here." She stormed past Hailey who grabbed onto her shirt. "Mommy don't go... I love you!" Sue turned too look her daughter in the eye. "Listen I never loved you. You're going to end up worthless like your father, and probably end up as a slut baby factor for another worthless guy in this pathetic town. Now let go before I make you!" Hailey let go as her tears fell. 'Worthless...' 'A slut...' 'Whore...' 'Pathetic...' 'Just like your father...' Hailey flinched and looked around to find where the voices were coming from but she didn't see anyone. Her father came to her and picked her up as she cried in his arms. "It's alright Hailey, Daddy's going to make it all better." Still she cried because of those hurtful things her mother said, even if she didn't know what they meant. He carried her out to his truck and they drove home.

Hailey was sitting in Mrs. Sefferson's first grade class. They had just been let out for recess and she was about to go play. 'Don't play with the others.' What? Why? 'Because they're evil and if you play with them you'll be evil too. You don't want that do you?' 'Yeah. Your Daddy won't want you any more if you're evil!' Her eyes widened and vigorously shook her head no. I don't want to be evil! 'Good than don't play with them!' She nodded and sat down on a bench. She watched as the kids played. They don't look evil... 'They are! They are trying to trick you!' She frowned. Are you sure? 'What? Of course you stupid girl! I bet one of them even tries to come get you to play in a minute!' Sure enough in a couple of minutes a few of the kids came up to her and asked if she wanted to play. She saw their eyes flash into dark black holes and fangs grow out of their mouths. "Come play with us!" A demon girl with red pigtails said as her clawed hand grasped her own. She started to shake. "N-no...no, no, no STAY AWAY!" Hailey yanked her hand away and ran back into the classroom. The group of normal looking children stared after her. The red pigtailed girl summed up their thoughts. "She's weird." They all nodded.
I ran to the classroom but found the door locked. I collapsed next to it and wrapped my arms around my knees, and cried. They were evil. 'Yes you idiot! Of course they were! Would we lie to you.' I shook my head no. 'You don't deserve us! Maybe we should go?' I startled. "No! You can't leave me! Please!" But they were silent and I cried some more. Mrs. Sefferson found me like that. "Hailey? What's wrong sweetie?" I didn't answer her. I couldn't, I was to busy crying. I cried while she called my father. I cried when he picked me up and when he drove me home. I even cried while he was questioning me on why I was crying. He didn't like that. I saw his face turn red and then he backhanded me across my cheek. That was the first time he ever hit me. It was so powerful it knocked me out of my seat, but I stopped crying. "When I ask you a question I expect you to answer me!" 'Wow you really are stupid. She actually thought we left!' In shock I sat up. "Are you going to answer me?" I nodded. "I thought they left." He glared down at me. "Who?" 'Don't tell him about us!' I flinched at her yell. "Um, my friends?" 'Ha! Did you hear that? She thinks we're her friends!' I frowned and looked at the floor. Daddy glared at me. "You mean to tell me, that I took time off of work to come and pick you up, because you thought your friends left?" Daddy's face turned red again. "God dammit Hailey!" he through a chair against the wall near me. "You need to learn people are going to leave you for someone better!" He came over to me and grabbed me by my hair and I screamed. "Oww Daddy! Stop it hurts! Please Daddy!" He dragged me to a closet and threw me in before locking the door.
I laid in the dark sobbing and holding my head in pain. "Poor little baby Hailey. She's got a boo-boo. Does she want mommy to kiss it all better? Oh wait mommy left. She didn't want you!' Shut up and leave me alone. 'You're lucky we are here to keep you company. Otherwise you might start to wonder what that is crawling in your hair. He was right there was something crawling in my hair. I slapped and pulled trying to get what ever it was off but it wouldn't come. They laughed. 'It's a spider incase you were wondering.' I screamed. 'Don't forget the other bugs as well.' I could feel them crawling and biting all over me. I screamed and begged my Daddy to let me out but he didn't. After a while a calmed down to where I was just sobbing because my throat was raw. I could still feel the bugs crawling over me. 'I don't know why she was crying over a few little bugs. I'd be more scared of the bogeyman.' I froze. I've heard of the bogeyman, from some of the other kids. Some of them say that he lives under their bed while others say that he lives in...c-closets, like this o-one. I started to shake and looked around. I was just able to make up his face in the dark, when I started screaming again. It was like a clown, and evil clown, like that one from that Batman movie Daddy likes. He started coming closer to me and I pounded on the door begging for my Daddy to help me. "Daddy please! Help me! He's going to get me!" Just before he was able to grab me the door opened and I tumbled out. I saw that it was my father so I curled around his legs sobbing. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please don't put me back. Please!" I begged and he just carried me up to my room and tucked me in before kissing my forehead. "I'm sorry too." I fell asleep. That was the first time I ever went into the closet but it wasn't the last just like that wasn't the last time that he hit me.

My Daddy bought me make-up. Though it wasn't like the kind of make-up other ladies wear. This kind was for me to cover my bruise with when my clothes didn't cover them. That's okay though it made me feel like a grown-up, because none of the other girls get to wear make-up. 'Yeah I bet their Daddy loves them and doesn't hit them or lock them in a closet. I shivered at the mention of the closet. Daddy loves me! 'Sure he does. That's why your face and body is covered in bruises.' I frowned. He always says sorry afterwards. They laughed at me and I covered my ears to block them out. Shut up and leave me alone. The laughing only got louder. "I said shut up!" I yelled which was stupid of me. "Hailey who are you yelling at?" I made up a quick lie about the birds. 'Oh yeah that's a good one.' "Are you ready then?" I made a few quick adjustments to my make-up and went downstairs. "I'm ready Daddy." He grunted and we got in the car.
I didn't like school, it was just too much. I mean my classes were easy but I didn't like all people. Most of them thought I was weird anyways so that didn't help. I didn't like my teacher either. Mr. John always tries to get me to participate in-group work and play with the other during recess but I don't want to. Is it my fault that the voices tell me that they are evil and then when they come up to me I see what they really look like? I don't think so. Though I think that's why he wants to have a conference with my father, after school. I'm not looking forward to that. For the rest of the school day I did my usual. Sat alone during class. Sat alone during lunch. Sat alone during recess. I've taken to drawing when I wasn't doing schoolwork.
The end of the day came and my Daddy came in to the classroom to talk to Mr. John. "Ah Mr. Stone right on time, Please have a seat." Daddy sat with me at the table. He had that blank look on whenever he gets mad at me in public. It made me shiver a little. "So Mr. John, why am I here? Is Hailey failing or something?" Mr. John laughed and I thought that it was kind of rude. 'Damn right it was rude girly. Your Dad has every right to find out how stupid his little girl is.' I shifted a little and was upset that he called me stupid. "Mr. Stone your daughter is probably one of the brightest students I will ever teach. She is in no danger of failing. Though I must say that Hailey is severely lacking in social and inter-personal skills." My father was confused and didn't understand. "He said I don't like to play with anyone, Daddy." My father looked at me and than back to my teacher. "You called a meeting because my daughter was a loner? Seriously? I didn't know you graded recess." Mr. John frowned. "We don't but I have notice that your daughter often talks to herself and sometimes has irrational outburst. These are some symptoms that she may be-!" My Daddy broke in. "Are you insinuating that I abuse my daughter? I have never hit my daughter!" 'Way to go Daddy! What a great way to teach your daughter to lie!' Stop it he isn't lying! Daddy never hits me! 'Would you look at that? She's in denial!" I covered my ears to block out their laughter. Mr. John looked horrified. "That's not what I was going to say at all! I was saying that I think your daughter may have a personality disorder and should be checked out!" Daddy got that confused look again. "He thinks I'm crazy." I supplied and my father glared at me. "I know what he said! I'm not stupid!" I shrank back in my seat. My Daddy's blank face returned. "I think we are done here. I will take your thoughts into consideration and will see about getting her some help. Lets go Hailey." He grabbed my arm and led me to the car. As soon as we were out of sight, his grip became crushing.
We arrived home he shoved me through the door. "So you couldn't just play with a couple of kids?" I shook my head no from my spot on the floor. "Jesus fucking Christ Hailey!" He yelled at me and kicked me, hard. "Why didn't you say anything? Why didn't you tell him I was lying?" He screamed at me and with every question another kick. "Fuck, what do I have do to get you to tell someone? I'm sorry Hailey. I shouldn't hit you." I shook but wrapped myself around his legs. "It's okay. I forgive you." The was obviously the wrong thing to say. "You forgive me? How can you forgive me? I abuse you every day! I hit you every day! And when I feel like it I lock you in that closet and listen to you scream!" He got mad again. Really mad. "I love you Daddy! I don't want you to go away like Mommy!" Apparently saying Mommy really was the wrong thing to say. "Like Mommy? Fine I'll make you want to leave." He grabbed me by my hair again and started to drag me throughout the house."No Daddy Please! Not the Closet! I'm afraid of the dark!" He dragged me past the closet and relaxed a little but became confused when he brought me upstairs and into his room. He had never done that before.
"Take of your clothes." He said. I was really confused. Was he going to give me a bath? I thought he was going to hurt me? 'Oh don't worry princess. I'm sure it'll hurt!' I flinched at their loud laughing again. "I said take off your clothes! Now!" He yelled and I scrambled to do as he said. I saw him take off his own clothes as well. Is he going to take a bath too? Their laughing got louder. Daddy came up to me and cupped my cheek with his large hand. "Your so beautiful Hailey. Just like your mother." He slapped me and I fell to the ground. I felt me pick me up and place me on the bed while he crawled above me. I saw him stroke something between his legs and I watch as it became bigger and looked harder. What's that? I don't have one, do I? I could still hear their laughter in the background. He shoved himself inside of me and I screamed. He started to move and it felt so bad, much worse than when he hit me or when he used his belt. Like I did when he did that I tried to find my happy place but I couldn't so I watched him move in and out of me with tears streaming down my face. Soon enough he shoved himself all the way in and peed in me before pulling out. I noticed through my blood that his pee was milky white. He rolled off of me and I curled into a tight ball as the pain still raked through my body. "Did you like that honey?" He whispered in my ear and I shook my head no. I could hear him becoming mad again. "I was right. Just like your mother. Always ungrateful." He grabbed my hair and pulled me back downstairs and to the closet. I started to panic. "I lied! I am grateful! I liked it! I swear I liked it! Just don't put me in there! Please." He chuckled. "Oh I know you liked it. They all liked it." He shoved me into the closet and locked the door. My screams fell on deaf ears.

That became a weekly occurrence. Always on Fridays so that I would be okay for school on Mondays because he liked to get rough sometimes. When I started my period he got me birth control. He didn't want any more children. I didn't sleep in my own bed any more. He didn't want to have to walk if he wanted release. He never did take me to get help. I guess even though he punishes me for not telling he still really doesn't want to tell. That's okay I don't plan to tell anyone anyway. I was excited because I was starting High school today, heard that there is going to be new kids at the high school so maybe everyone will focus on them instead of picking on me. I decided to cut my hair this morning so now my pale blond locks fell only to my chin and my bangs covered my eyes. I had to use extra make-up because Daddy wanted to choke me while his was um...doing me and he left a large bruise. He yelled at me to hurry up so I did and rushed down the stairs.
He dropped me off at school and I kissed his cheek before getting out. "Bye Daddy." He grunted at me before driving off. I frowned. I saw the new kids get out of their shinny new cars and noticed they were all beautiful. A tall blond man got out first and on his arm was a short dark haired pixie. Next was another man but younger looking and with a copper color of hair. He was holding hands with a dark mahogany haired girl. Finally another copper haired one came out and it was a girl. Now if what I heard was true then they were all adopted and each of them except for the blond were freshmen like me. He was a sophomore. Also they had two older siblings. One is supposed to be a new gym coach here and the other is supposedly the new psychologist in town. I broke my stare away from them when I noticed the copper headed boy looking my way. 'You really are pathetic you know that.' I frowned again when I saw his eyes widened as if he heard them to. Can he hear you? I thought I was the only one? 'Don't be an idiot of course he can't hear us, unless...of course he can read your mind! Quick protect your mind! People can't read minds. 'You stupid girl have we ever been wrong? Weren't we right about the evil ones?' Yes but... 'Just do as we say! They're evil, really evil monster who just want to eat you! I gripped my head in pain from their yelling. No! You are wrong! Just leave me alone! They can't be monsters...they don't exist... they don't exist... if they're monsters than that means he's real...and he can't be real! He'll get me! Next time! I'm bad and get put in there he'll GET ME! I was on the verge of a panic attack. So I gripped my head with one hand and held myself with the other before rushing off to find my class.
Across the parking lot a certain vampire flinched. The other noticed but the one holding his hand questioned him. "Edward what is it?" He turned to the love of his life. "That girl. The one that just ran off. They were so loud and so... painful." Bella looked confused. "Her thoughts were loud?" Edward shook his head. "No they weren't her thought or maybe they were I don't know. They were like voices. A man and a woman were talking to her in her head. Some how they knew that we weren't human. They called us monster that wanted to eat her, and they knew I could hear her thoughts. She said that they were lying. That monsters weren't real. That's when it became painful. She freaked out saying that if we were real monsters than he was real too and that he would get her. I caught a flash of looked like a monstrous clown and what looked like a closet." They were silent for a moment and then Alice chuckled. "Sounds like the bogeyman to me." Edward glared at her but jasper responded. "Sweetie what I felt coming from her was pure terror, on a silly child's fear." She didn't say anything else and they went off to class.
Renesmee broke off from her family and found her first class. It just so happens that the girl from earlier had it as well. Nessie could clearly see a separation between the girl and the rest of the class as there was about to rows with no one around her. The girl in question was staring at her notebook as if she was reading it. The only problem was that is was closed. She shrugged and sat next to her before retrieving her own notebook from her backpack. The girl noticed her and flinched. She smiled at her and extended her hand. "Hi I'm Renesmee Cullen." She looked at the hand for minute before shakily taking it in her own. "Hailey Stone." She flinched and yanked her hand back Renesmee looked at her curiously. Off all the time I wish Dad were here. It didn't take long before a red haired girl came up to her. "Hey there! You're one on the new kids right? I'm Sandra Colton, but everyone one calls me Sandy!" Renesmee turned to her. "Renesmee Cullen." She said. "Well you now what Renee? I wouldn't sit near Hailey over here, she's the school freak." Nessie could see the girl frown and glared at Sandy. "It's Renesmee. Renee is my grandmothers name, and I'm comfortable here." Sandy scoffed and went back to her seat. Hailey didn't even look up once. It turns out Nessie's schedule was a complete duplicate of Hailey's, and every class was the same until lunch.
I grabbed my bag that Daddy had made for me and made my way to my table in the corner. I had just taken a bite of my sandwich when Renesmee sat down followed by the rest of her family. I flinched and became extremely uncomfortable. 'See we told you they wanted to eat you.' No they don't now shut up! 'I bet Penny over there is reading your mind again. Just leave! Please... 'Well if you really want us to go then will go.' WAIT! No! Don't leave please. 'Ha! Stupid girl actually thought we would leave again.' I bit my lip before taking another bite of my sandwich. 'I didn't know you like to eat human flesh.' Wha..? I looked at my sandwich and sure enough it was flesh and still bloody. I gagged and threw it away. Daddy said it was turkey? Why would he lie? 'Why does he hit you? Why does he lock you in the closet? Why does he fuck you no matter how much you scream? I shook my head no. No! No! No! Daddy doesn't do that! He loves me! He said so! Their laughing grew and I fought the urge to cover my ears.'That's right. He whispers in your ear how much he loves you while he cums inside of you doesn't he?' Stop it! Just stop...please. Why can you be nice to me? 'It's because your mother was right. You are nothing but a pathetic little whore that no one wants!' Daddy wants me... 'Oh yes he wants you. Until he finds someone better, didn't he say that?'
I paled and started to feel sick. 'Maybe he'll want the Renesmee girl. She's pretty, much prettier than you. He'll get rid of you and take her...unless of course you get rid of her first.' I froze. Get rid of her? I could do that...No one would... no..NO! Wait! I can't do that! I'm not bad. You're trying to make me bad! And Daddy won't want me if I'm bad! Their laughter grew. Renesmee smiled at me. "You okay Hailey? You kind of spaced out there for a minute." I blinked at her but nodded. "So as I was saying this is my family. That's Jasper, and the pixie is Alice. Then this is Bella and that's Edward." I noticed both Alice and Edward were glaring at me. Edward. I froze and paled drastically. He's the one that can hear my thoughts, that means he heard... I quickly rose out of my seat. "I have to go." I grabbed my bag and practically ran out of the lunchroom.
Renesmee looked shocked at her abrupt departure and turned to her family. She noticed Alice's and her father's sharp glare. "What is with the glares? I think you scared her away!" They turned to her with their black. "That...girl! Just contemplated killing you so that her father wouldn't replace her with you as his sex toy!" I became horrified at my fathers sharp tone. "I even saw that the car bomb would have worked and killed us all!" Her aunt said. Like usual her mother became the voice of reason. "Wait a minute. Are you saying her father is sexually abusing? From the bruises I saw it look physical as well. You also said she is hearing voices right? You also just said she thought about killing Renesmee because she thought her father would replace her? Edward what does that sound like? Think about it as if you were her therapist." Edward ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. "She sounds like a Rapidly Deteriorating Paranoid Schizophrenic with severe abandonment issues. That combined with the fact that she is obviously in an abusive home situation and appear to be un-medicated and gone without any form of treatment I would say that she is highly unstable and requires immediate treatment. I'll call Rosalie." Renesmee shook her head at her mothers smirk. "You see sweetie woman always have a clearer head than men."
