secret life

Chapter 11,
Cindy knew that she was powerless under Brittany and Amber. This only made her fear intensify. Libby put her hands on her hips and stared down at Cindy.
"Running away just proves your guilt, Cindy." Libby said and Brittany laughed.
"Yeah, girl, why run when you got nothing to hide." Amber said and Cindy looked at her.
"Why are you two doing this?" Cindy asked and Amber smiled.
"Well, Amber wants to be more popular, and Libby promised to get Nick to date me." Brittany said and Libby shrugged.
"Cindy, Cindy, Cindy." Libby said, reaching down and grabbing her by the neck.
"You lied to me, Cindy." Libby said and Cindy shook her head.
"No, I didn't lie, I swear." She said and Libby clicked her tongue.
"Then how do you explain that poem, Cindy?" Libby said and Cindy shrugged.
"Some idiot put it in my locker." Cindy said and Libby craned her neck.
"You know, I don't believe you. Because Jimmy was at your house last night, and you didn't tell me. There is a sexual note in your locker, obviously from a boy. And who is there to comfort you when I leave? Why, Jimmy fucking Neutron. Your in a relationship with Jimmy and your straight-up lying about it." Libby said before kicking Cindy in the ribs.
"God!" Cindy said and Libby smiled.
"Aw, did that hurt? Do you even know what pain is?" Libby asked and then she kicked her legs.
"You live in a protective bubble!" Libby screamed and Cindy felt her face heat up.
"You play the piano, you constantly leave town to compete in stupid contests, your the richest kid in our school, and Damn IT, Cindy your one of the prettiest girls in school. I hate your protective bubble." Libby said and Brittany giggled when Libby kicked Cindy in the crotch. Cindy's eyes watered when she got kicked. She knew that guys were sensitive down there, but she felt like Libby's kick shook her entire uterus.
"Libby, please." Cindy pleaded and Libby glared at her.
"'Libby, please.' 'Libby, please.' You are so pathetic." Libby said and then she slapped Cindy. Then she grabbed Cindy by the chin and Libby chuckled.
"I think I'll try to avoid your face. No need to alarm that idiot teacher, Miss Fowl." Libby said and Cindy shuddered.
"You need you hurry, Libby. I don't have a watch so I don't know how much longer we have left of lunch." Amber said and Libby glared at her.
"Are you trying to avoid popularity?" Libby said and Amber blushed.
"Ok, then." Libby said and she stepped away from Cindy for a moment. She tilted her head and looked up and down Cindy's body.
"Well, I doubt that you will want to screw around if your legs are all fucked up." Libby said and Cindy's struggle became more urgent. The next thing that Cindy felt was something sharp against her throat and she froze.
"Did you forget about my knife?" Libby said and Cindy swallowed, which cut her a little. Libby saw the small amount of blood and pulled the knife away. She licked the blood gently off her knife and smiled.
"Strange. Your blood is actually a bit sweet. The only comparison I can think of is a pomegranate." Libby noted and Cindy bit her lip.
"Just remember, Cindy. This is punishment, not anything else." Libby said and she removed Cindy's pants. Cindy thought she saw a shadow on the door, and she wanted to scream. But right as she was about to shout, Brittany put her hand over Cindy's mouth, and covered her nose. Libby didn't notice Brittany had done this until Cindy's struggles became much more desperate and urgent.
"What are you doing?" Libby asked and Brittany shrugged.
"Just keeping her quiet." She said and Libby grabbed Brittany's arm.
"We are punishing her, not killing her." Libby said and Brittany rolled her eyes before letting Cindy breathe.
"Party pooper." Brittany said as Cindy gasped for air. Libby chuckled at Brittany and then turned her attention to Cindy.
"Actually, Brittany, you can cover her mouth, just not her nose." Libby said and Brittany smiled as she covered Cindy's mouth. Libby traced the tip of the blade against Cindy's legs.
"What to do, what to do." Libby said and finally she cut an upside down triangle on Cindy's left thigh. Cindy muffled scream, only encouraged Libby to carve another triangle on the other thigh. Cindy's tears started to fall unto Brittany's hand.
"Shh." Libby hushed, gently rubbing Cindy's knees. Libby then stared at Cindy's knee and with a sadistic smile she carved a treble cleft of it and went ahead and carved a bass cleft on the other knee.
"You know that I can't fight the music." Libby said and Brittany giggled. Cindy looked over at Amber and she looked a tad horrified.
Perhaps this one will squeal.
Cindy thought without any real hope. Libby looked at her work, while gently tapping the knife against her fingertips.
"I think one more and your punishment will be over." Libby said and Cindy cried a little more. Libby seemed to get an idea because she got close to Cindy and lifted her shirt, so that Libby could see her stomach.
"I could put one right here." She said dragging the tip of the knife around the area of Cindy's bellybutton.
"What sounds better, Brittany? A Lambda or a Labrys?" Libby asked and Brittany raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know what those are." She said and Libby rolled her eyes.
"One looks like an ax and the other kinda looks like an upside down Y." Libby explained and Brittany shook her head lightly with understanding.
"Oh, well, perhaps the ax. Ax's are cooler." Brittany said and Libby shook her head.
"My thoughts exactly." Libby said before carving the Labrys into Cindy's stomach. When she had finished she stood up and smiled down at Cindy.
"Amber, Brittany. You should leave." Libby said and the two girls let go of Cindy, who remained broken down on the floor, and left the closet. When the door shut, Libby turned to Cindy.
"See the things that you make me do, Cindy. I do not appreciate the things I hear in the halls about you. You shouldn't be sleeping around. You are MINE! Not Jimmy's, but MINE! Or any other boy for that matter. You're mine." Libby said while she cleaned off her knife with the inside of her own skirt.
"And it's not like I am worried about another girl stealing you, because it's not like there are any lesbians at this school." Libby said that with a lot of pain in her voice. Cindy just cried and Libby looked at her.
"And I'm not a monster, by the way." Libby said, throwing her a small first-aid kit and a sandwich in a plastic bag.
"Just territorial, I guess." Libby said, and then she left the closet, leaving Cindy alone.
I should just lie here until I bleed to death. Actually that's ridiculous because I can't bleed to death today. The blood here isn't even a fourth of the blood that I spilled on that horrible, horrible night...
Cindy sobbed, and sobbed, until she thought about life after school. Perhaps she will leave Retroland forever. Leaving behind Libby, her parents, and even Jimmy. Because why would he believe anything she has to say. All he cares about is his inventions. He didn't even notice when Libby started to abuse her. Sometimes she feels like the only reason Jimmy even realizes that they stopped dating is because Sheen is still crazy about Libby.
Oh, Jimmy. I wish that we never left that island. Or at least returned to Retroland. If I tell my parents then they may make my situation worse by forcing me and Libby together every night. If I tell a teacher then Libby will find out. If I tell the principal then they may have an unscheduled anti-bulling assembling, which will tip Libby off. Where can I go? Who can I tell? What can I do?
Not coming up with an answer to her problems, Cindy decided that it was better to just tough it out for the day and barricade herself in her house for the four day weekend. There she can hopefully come up with a better plan. She sniffled and sat up, her body aching. She opened the first aid kit and wiped her cuts with a moist towelette, which burned like hell. Then she got a good look at her cuts. She was amazed at how thin they were, almost like paper cuts. She put on roughly 50 band-aids all over her body, and carefully placed her clothes back on.
She wiped her nose on her arm and looked at the sandwich that Libby left her. It looked like a bologna sandwich, and Cindy didn't really care. She ate it mostly to distract herself from the pain, then from actual hunger. When she finished the sandwich, she placed all of her band-aid trash and tossed it in a nearby trashcan. She slowly stood up, which made her knees feel as if they were being cut opened again. She noticed a sink and mirror by the door, which she must not have seen because she was distracted with the currant events.
She walked over to it, and her eyes made her look drunk. She blew her nose into her hand and washed off the snot with the water from the sink. Then she used the water to wipe off her forehead and the back of her neck. She had finally started to calm down when she heard the bell rang. She rushed into the hallway so that people wouldn't ask why she was in the closet; and she kept her head down so they wouldn't see her face. But she did see Jimmy walking in front of her with his friends, and she couldn't help but stare at him.
Save me, Jimmy
Her mind instantly thought, but then she shook the idea out of her mind.
Goddard stopped the hologram machine and Jimmy fell to his knees without leaving. Goddard went ahead and opened the machine's door and stared at Jimmy.
"It is time for you to evacuate your bowels and get something to eat." Goddard said in his electronic voice. Jimmy still didn't move. Instead, he just started to cry. If he had followed Cindy when she ran away then she may have never been cut. What good is he, if he couldn't even realize that those girls had followed Cindy so that they could hurt her? Goddard hopped up into the machine and placed his head on Jimmy's knee. Jimmy picked up his dog and held him as if he was the very last thing on earth.
