Chapter 10 – Giving Up
Kacey's POV
I didn't dare tell everything what was happening every Saturday night as they would think I am dirty and a slut, I was starting to emotionally fall apart and my body was damaged.
My face was fine I never got attacked there anymore as mum had realized it made people suspicious, my ribs were aching from the guys throwing me on the bed forcefully and I think they had broke them but would not dare say anything. I kept bleeding as the guys were really forceful but as it was my fault I was in this situation I didn't tell anyone.
I was falling apart I didn't even enjoy football anymore as that was what started my troubles, and had told Tom I was leaving the team seeing I was upset he didn't object thinking I would come around but I hated it after what it has made me go through.
I had started to lash out at people and was starting to get the rep of Barry, I was giving up on everything, I was back in the PRU and not improving and I hated everything and everyone, I did nothing all day just sat in my room hiding waiting for my pain to end.
XXXX
On Monday I walked through the door to school and got the shock of my life when I saw a familiar face standing there, the black hair with the purple streak and still pretty, ZOE.
She spotted me and ran up to me and hugged me, I was so happy everything would be ok if she was back I had REALLY missed her.
Zoe's POV
I hadn't told Kacey I was coming back as I wanted to surprise her but she was in a bad way and compared to last time I saw her she was damaged.
Her hair was greasy and unkempt, her amazing aquamarine eyes were cold as if she had nothing left to live for and red and sore as she had been permanently crying, she was in a light blue tracksuit which looked as if she had been wearing it for ages as it was stained and she never made eye contact but looked at the floor.
Class was starting in a few minutes but I took us to a cafe we like on the outskirts of town to talk, she needed help.
'Why haven't you been answering your phone I have been super worried?'
She had not said anything yet but she replied 'Cause I had it took of me didn't I?'
Her voice was cold and lifeless as if she was a zombie
'How bad have things got? I can tell you are in a bad way?'
She didn't respond and just continued to look down I was scared she was angry at me for leaving her so I took her hand and her sleeve rolled up slightly and I noticed the scars.
'Kacey did you do this?'
'Why does it matter if I did or not everyone hurts ne anyway'
I looked at her what had happened to our Kace, lively, cheeky, funny and full of life who was this shell of a girl in her place? It broke my heart and I had to wipe the tears away from my face.
'What has happened between you and you're mum'
She looked right at me and lifted her top showing me her burn I couldn't help covering my eyes my Kacey was hurt and it was my fault for leaving.
