Chapter 14

When I walked down stairs mom looked surprised to see me since it was noon I should have been in school but I had decided the night before Selena was right I shouldn't go back.

"Honey what are you doing home?" mom asked.

"Mom I have to talk to you about school"

"Sure honey come into the kitchen and I will make coffee and we can talk"

I followed my mom into the kitchen and waited till the coffee was done and we both had a cup in our hands to continue.

"Mom I want to leave my school I can't do it anymore."

"What do you mean you can't do it anymore I thought school was going good?"

I knew this was coming and now I had to tell her about everything they were saying about me and now about my relationship.

"Mom nothing has been going good for a long time now. I have been getting bullied and things are only getting worse. It started out with them just talking behind my back but when I broke up with Jake he started saying I cheated on him with a different guy every night and that I was a whore. People are calling me fat, whale, slut and every other name in the book. Now that I'm dating Selena people are texting me telling me to go cut myself."

I showed my mom the text and watched as her eyes filled with tears. I decided to leave out the part about me actually cutting and having an eating disorder the bullying and threats were enough. I didn't think there was anything else to say to my mom I laid it out for her and it was now up to her what happened.

"Honey why didn't you tell me before?"

"I was handling it but things aren't getting any better and even Selena thinks it's time I leave that school. She wants me to focus on my writing and singing."

"Selena is right it's time to get you out of there. You don't have to go back I will call the school and find out how to start home schooling as for the writing and singing I think that is an amazing idea. You are so talented and you could go far in the music industry. Ok baby you have my full support, oh and you and Selena being together, I knew that would happen"

I smiled up at my mom with tears in my eyes. She is amazing and so supportive I couldn't have asked for a better mother. I felt bad for not telling her the rest but I just couldn't bring myself to tell her yet, maybe one day I will and then I can really move forward. Until then I'm going to focus on music and Selena, who is waiting for me to tell her what was happening.

"I love you mom and thank you" I hugged my mom tight and went upstairs.

When I opened my bedroom door Selena was playing with Oliver on the floor and hadn't noticed I was standing there. I coughed to let her I know I was there and she jumped up asking what happened.

"She said I could leave the school and start home schooling. And she thinks that focusing on music is a really good idea. Oh and she said she knew we would happen."

Selena smiled at me and kissed my cheek. Just as I was about to kiss her lips I got another text. I hadn't changed my number yet.

"Don't read it you don't know who it could be from and I don't want you to get hurt again."

My phone buzzed again.

"I have to or it will keep going off"

I looked at my phone.
