Alex and Jay would always say something mean. It's like meanness was inherited. Programmed into their system. They'd make fun of her together along with Sean and their agonizing Crew: A bunch of thugs.

"The candy machine is free..."

J.T. laughed. "I guess, they're going to rob out the school. Remember that PA system that was missing last week...?" Of course, Jay and his Crew probably took it right out of media immersion. She glared at him and held back anger at Sean. She had to take a deep breath or she'd walk straight to Raditch.

Ellie chatted with Alex. Some small talk. Emma caught her flinch and saw a bruise. Was it caused by Sean...?

The day, she cornered her. "Did Sean cause that swell...?"

Ellie tried to sound emotionless. "No Nature Freak, my. Boyfriend. Did not cause it."

"I know what abuse is and if you don't tell someone, I will!"

The red head backed out of the door and said, "Tell and I'll LIE!"

"Come on Ellie, this isn't funny and you need to tell someone...!?"

Ever since, she had been keeping an eye on her and if things got out of control. Ellie snuck a glance at her. She looked down at her wrist and quickly pulled it down.

Sean came home very very drunk. "I warned you to stay away from Craig!" He grabbed her and pushed her onto the couch. Ellie felt a sting on her cheek. He was screaming and throwing punches at her. Ellie made a mistake by cheating on him. She didn't know about his history with his first girlfriend. No one knew. Not even Emma what happened to Celia.

Her name was Celia Young and she was 16, a little older. Their families were both drunks and poor. They lived in the trailers next to each other and were great friends before getting together. At first, Sean was okay. He didn't show signs of abuse. But, then, he got into all kinds of trouble and one night, his dad beat him. He took too much of the alcohol cause he lost another job. Sean was acting like Tracker. And his mom didn't care. His dad just really took it hard. Sean was beaten for it. Then, he beat her.

Tracker became better when they moved to Degrassi. He got off the drugs. But, Sean stayed the same: Hanging out with Jay. Doing drugs. Dealing drugs. And stealing.

He met Emma and for a while, things were good. Until he did something he'd regret.

Dumping her was what caused him to be abusive. Dumping her was the problem. She made his life better and Ellie made it worse. Along with Jay, Alex, and the rest of the Montreal. Everywhere they went, they carried bad vermin.

They brought the mood everywhere they went.

And they brought the bad out of him.

Ellie slashed so hard on her wrist. It was the worst cut she had. She also took a crack at drugs. Her first sniff of Cocaine. Violent and abusive. That was her boyfriend. Not the sweet boy from her past.

She just can't find the energy to care anymore.

So, she brought the knife down over and over in an arching motion.

She was losing it.

Sean can't seem to care for her crying. Her pain. He can still hear her in their room. She must be using cutting to get to him. Should have never went to Craig. Jealous bitch!

Emma was going to Raditch no matter. Ellie was being used as a rag dog by Sean and she needed to take a next course of action. She wouldn't humiliate Ellie but can't stand by and let it happen.

"You have to be a selfish little bitch, don't you," he grabbed her hair. She screamed as pain shot up her back. He had kicked her ribs. She crawled backward to get away from him but he had her trapped between the wall and him.

"I don't know why I put up with you and your stupid problems! You are nothing but a waste of my time!"

Those words really caused her great pain on the inside as she felt her eyes well.

"Ellie, you deserve to die..."
