"Get the hell up to your room now, before I tear that ring right out of your nose!" Jade's mother snapped as she turned the kitchen light on, "I had a feeling this was what you would have done. Another cry for attention. You don't need any more attention than you already get."
"But mom, I don't want attention. I want everyone to leave me alone," she whispered, still curled up in a ball on the tiled floor.
"Well there is a reason that nobody likes you. You're anti-social and you carry on the minute somebody touches you! You're whiny and annoying! And quite frankly I'm sick of your shit. Before you go, clean the blood off the floor, I don't want it staining the tiles," she said, putting her bags on the kitchen counter.
Jade slowly made her way to the cupboard under the kitchen sink on her hands and knees. She almost slipped in her own blood in the process but she caught herself before she fell. She pulled out an old rag and ran it under the tap for a moment. She scrubbed the floors until the water turned the blood a pink colour.
Jade's mother slapped her in the back of the head, "Jade! You useless child! You're meant to use the detergent over there! I'm sick of you getting in my way, you pathetic girl. Go to your room! You can't even clean the floor right!"
Jade held back the tears to show she was defiant, but her chest seemed to ache at the sound of her mother's words. She stood up to her mother and tried to make herself seem tall and stronger than she really was.
"Well why don't you clean it up yourself, then. Bitch," Jade snapped shakily, shoving the dirty cloth into her mothers' hands, "If I'm so useless, don't bother making me do it."
The next slap Jade received was on her right cheek, and it was so hard it made her eyes water. She could feel blood trickle down her nose where her nose-ring had torn her skin. It wasn't too bad but it was still painful. More anger was building up in her chest. She couldn't stand her mother anymore. She leaped to her feet and ran back to her bedroom where she knew she would be okay. She locked herself inside and sat in front of her mirror as she cleaned her face up.
She sighed in disappointment at the realization that her nose would now be hurting for a few more weeks, just after she had gotten over the previous tear her mother had given her. It was an easy target and a serious threat her mother gave her when Jade was doing something wrong.
Jade pulled her laptop in front of her and opened it up. She opened the Facebook tab to look at her notifications. She had a new friend request, two messages and four notifications.
Three notifications on her list were requests from her aunty for some of those stupid Facebook games that people play. The last notification was from someone who supposedly went to her school, who was telling her that she was ugly and that her profile should have been some stick thin, blonde, bimbo of a celebrity with fake tits. He didn't say that directly, but that's how Jade's mind saw it.
She was surprised to have a friend request from an actual person, not just some weird guy from Asia or Europe that wanted her to send him nude pics or to have a one on one sexual Skype call. It was the girl she had talked to that day, Tori. She accepted the request and moved onto the messages. One of the messages was from her grandfather that she hadn't seen in years, who was asking for her to like his page about gardening. But the other was from Tori.
Tori: Hey Jade. I just thought I would look for you on Facebook so I would be able to keep in contact with you. Seeing as though we didn't exchange numbers or anything and I probably won't see you until the next sports class. So yeah… hi. X3
Jade's luck seemed to have changed as she could see the green dot beside Tori's name, showing that she was online.
A/N: The reason I'm updating so much this weekend is because one, I don't wanna leave you guys hanging, two, I'm impatient, and three, I don't have internet at home so there are gonna be times where I don't update for a while, you know? Anyway. I barely have a life outside of fanfiction. That's what being lonely and friendless does to you woops.
Don't be a silent reader, feedback is appreciated!
xoxo
