Rachel

I couldn't sleep all night, just the thought of what I did hunts me. When I shot him, I didn't flinch… I didn't close my eyes. But I stared as the bullet made impact. But what caught my attention was that I shot him in the heart. My dad found it fascinating but I found it incredibly wrong.

He tried to joke around, and said if I was ever a part of his true business my name would be; heartless. I didn't say anything but kept walking behind him.

In a couple of hours I would have to get up, and go to school. I didn't want to, I couldn't face a crying Kori. Not now… not today… not ever.

What could I say? I was sorry for her lost? I couldn't say such things, since I was the one who killed him. This is why I can't have friends. I always do something that messes it all up. I only hurt people, even if I tried to make things right… it was all pointless.

My first friend and maybe my last, will now become friends with a monster. I knew I couldn't tell her, that I was the one responsible for her father's death. Not ever, it was a secret that I will keep as long as I live.

Kori

I couldn't sleep all night, knowing that my father is actually gone. My wrists feel numb, I feel lost. If only Rachel cared… maybe she could help. If only someone cared…

I lay on the same spot from before, on the floor next to my bed. I don't even bother to get up, I mean what for? I sit here, thinking about my life. My poor pitiful life, that is nothing more than a tragedy.

I hear my alarm go off, it's time for me to take a shower. I don't know if I should, I wonder if my cuts will burn. I wonder if I should, will it be worth it? To get up and get going, to face another day in school, another day of cruelty and disappointments?

Will I be able to hold on, should I forget that my dad is gone? But how about the part that my mother wants nothing to do with me? I know one thing that I'm sure of. I will have to face the monsters that scream my name, one day.

Hopefully when that day arrives, I would be okay to face them all.

I let the hot water sprinkle my body. I flinch as the warm water makes contact with my unhealed wounds. It hurts, but it feels so good. Like a pain that makes you feel a type of addicting rush, and makes you feel alive.

It feels like forever, but I just want to stay inside. Yet I know I must get going, because I have a long way to walk. I'm ready to leave, as I pass by the kitchen I don't see my mom. Just a rip piece of paper with a note inside, which indicated that my mom won't be here for some time.

I leave the note untouched, and open the door, I signed as I walk outside and continue the journey of a long lonely walk.

Rachel

I enter school but I hear nothing but rumors. They're all about Kori, the failure of a model. So many cruel things, I wonder if I should do something. I decide not to, why would I want any more trouble? I walk into class and I see Kori, she wearing a long pink hoddy with black leggings and brown combat boots, and her long red hair soaked as if she just took a shower. I sit next to her, not knowing if I should say a word.

She doesn't look at me either, before class starts two girls enter. I suppose they are from another class, because I've never seen them. Though I did know their names, the blond one with blue eyes is Terra, she's always wearing boy cloths, and I'm guessing she's a tom boy. The other blond girl who loves pink name is Kitten. They look the same from the back, but both have different personalities.

Kitten gets in front of Kori's desk, but Kori doesn't pay attention she just looks at her hands that laid on top of her desk. Terra is behind her, watching her friend drawn other people's attention. I try not to get involve, I don't need any trouble. But I do pay attention what is happening beside me.

"Oh look what we have here, the want to be model… Oh you're ignoring me? Are you sad because your father was found dead? He probably wouldn't be dead, if you didn't have to be such a failure."

Kori didn't respond, but I could see her trying not to cry. It was failing since her tears slid down her face. People kept turning around, and trying to see what was going on. My temper rose, I just wanted to punch her in the face.

"Awh, so the anorexic girl does have feelings… you want to know why you fail for a model. You were never good enough. And never will be." The girl taunted

"Leave me alone." Kori half whispered to them as her voice cracked.

"Or what? What are you going to do." The girl said as she leaned in to Kori.

Kori stood silent, and the girl called her pathetic and yanked her hair.

I stood up and yanked her hair back, and punched her straight in the face. It happened so fast people were amazed and began to cause more noise. As the Kitten hit the ground I spoke to her.

"Don't put your slutty hands on my friend. And it better be the last damn time I see you. Because trust me you won't like it."

Terra didn't do anything as I stared at her she just helped her friend. As her nose began to bleed she began to cry and they both walked out of our class. I look back at Kori who still wasn't looking up. Our teacher had entered the room and people quickly sat down. As I took my seat, I know my name would go around. Hopefully it wouldn't be a mistake I would regret later.

Kori

When I entered the school, people had already knew about my dad. They all eyed me and began to talk about me. I just kept walking trying not to look at anyone in the eye. I wanted to cut, so bad. I wanted everyone to just leave me alone. I entered my class and quickly sat down, I wanted to avoid everyone at any cost. But I knew it wasn't going to be possible, Kitten and Terra had come in and began to bully me. I tried to be strong, I truly did. But I wasn't as I began to silently cry, I need help. I wanted someone to help, and I knew Rachel wasn't going to get involve. As she also tried to ignore what was happening to me.

Kitten had yanked my hair and called me pathetic, I didn't do anything because I knew was true. But before I knew it Kitten was in the ground and Rachel was threatening them. I didn't know what to do, I mean it was the first time someone actually defended me. The two blond girl had walked out, and I saw Kitten bleeding, I kind of felt bad.

After class had ended Rachel gave me a hug and told me she was sorry. I wonder why, I knew she didn't care for anyone's feelings. She always told me it was pointless to worry about anyone else. I hugged her back and began to cry. It felt good to have someone care about you, it warmed me up. After our hug ended I gave her a small smile, we told each other we would meet outside next to the tree in lunch.

Rachel

I was called to the principal's office a little after my second class had started. I knew I was going to get in trouble, hopefully I'll be alive to come to school tomorrow.

As I sat down in the principal's office, Terra had just walked out with kitten. If only they were off the school I could actually just kill them. My eyes winded as that my thought had past, I can't believe I thought that. But whatever is not like I wouldn't if I had the chance. They hurt Kori, and I didn't like that.

"You know why you're here Rachel?" he asked as he took a sip of his coffee.

"I guess." I said as I looked around.

"Why you do it?"

"I don't like bullying."

"But did violence have to get involve?"

"People don't understand if they aren't treated harshly." I told him as I looked at him with no emotion.

"Okay, I'll just contact your father and let him know what you did today."

"Do as you wish, but don't call me you for dumb things. I unlike other prefer my education." With that I walked out of his office and began walking straight to my class.

When lunch arrived Kori and I talked about things that made her happy. I wanted to cheer her up, only one or two real laughs came out of her. As the end day ended we both departed, as one of my dad body guards drives me home, I hoped to the gods above me that my dad would just ignore what the principal said.

I arrived home, and many guards are guarding my house. I enter to see my dad talking to a man. I quietly went to my room and changed to construable clothing. I try to do my homework and get distracted from the noise below me. I hear a gun shot, and I knew who ever the man was is now dead below me. I shiver on the thought that maybe one day I would die by the hands of my own father.

After I finish my homework, I lay in my bed wondering how bad my punishment might be. Well that's even if I get one. I hear my name being called, my heart beats fast. I suck up all my nerves and go down stairs. I see my dad sitting down in a table, and I see our cleaning ladies cleaning up the evidence on the ground.

"Yes father?" I questioned as I sit in the other end of the table.

He blows out a blow of his cigarette. And looks upon me with his evil eyes.

"Are you aware of the call I got today from your principal?" he questions with an annoyed voice.

"I do."

"He says you punched a girl straight in the face… causing her to bleed and break a bone from her nose. For a girl who was getting bullied?" he questions looking straight at my eyes looking to see if I lie.

"That is true." I say scared half to death.

"You know I hate it when you get in trouble. People start to notice you and they get suspicious."

"I'm sorry. I will not do it again… if they don't bother me anymore."

He smiles at my answer, and tells me to get closer. I know what's about to happen, I walk to him trying not to show fear. He stands up and looks down at me. He raises his hand and it quickly makes impact to my face. I fall down, and quickly get up.

"See… now I know you'll try to be a better girl."

"Yes father." I say as I retrieve to my room.

Tears threaten to come out. My throat feels dry, and my face feels numb. All of a sudden I lose my hunger, I just want to lay in my bed and hope the day to be over.

Kori

I won't cut today. I don't actually feel like I have the strength. My mom still doesn't arrive, I truly hope she is alright. I hope Rachel doesn't get in trouble, because of me. I sit alone in the dark on top of my bed.

Wondering how I even got into this mess. Where did I go wrong? How could I change myself, to become a better me? Will I be able to go back to the happy cheerful Kori I was? Or will I end up dead like my friends inside the white room?

I close my eyes, as I try to relax in this isolated room. Hoping things will get better, even if it's in death.

Review... Tell me what you think.
