It Only Hurt When I'm Breathing

Chapter 2

Elena woke up the next day dreading her life and all that was in it. She wanted it all to end and very soon. She didn't have a reason to live so she wasn't going to live in her life pretending that it would ever get better. Elena got out of her bed that creaked a lot when she got out of it. She hoped it hadn't woken up her mom. The last thing she needed was another brutal beating and pleasuring yet another man so she could make her mom money as punishment. She just couldn't handle that anymore.

Elena took out a piece of paper she found in the trashcan and wrote down the note that she had been waiting to write ever since they put her in this broken down foster home. She exhaled and jotted down her suicide note explaining why she had to do what she was going to do.

A knock on the door startled her out of her thoughts as she shoved the note into her pocket.

"You better be ready for school Elena if you're late again I have a four o clock appointment whose into younger girls and I have no problem selling your body as punishment. Now get a move on."

Elena broke her pencil and shoved it into her pocket so that if her mother wasn't true to her word she could stab the guy in the neck later. That would lose her mom a quick buck. Elena exhaled and got ready to go through yet another day of torture at school.

The day had started out exactly as Elena had expected. The populars had tortured her but this time they were being extremely torturous .

"Hey slut." Rebekah Mikaelson had said grabbing her by the collar.

"Wow Elena. Don't you wear anything besides this shirt you're so disgusting and we should treat you as if you are disgusting. Right Rebekah?" Katherine said with a devious smile.

Rebekah smiled with her as they took me into the bathroom stalls and shoved my head into the toilet drowning my face in the nasty toilet water that was there and giving it a few flushes while making me admit that I was disgusting and wasn't worthy of anything. They picked her head back up by her hair and threw her on the floor laughing while they kicked her in the sides and on the face.

Elena pulled her hand back to see blood on her lips.

"God Elena. It's sad that you never fight back." Rebekah said giving her one last kick to the face as the others laughed and exited the bathroom.

Elena pulled herself back up and cleaned herself up a little bit while the rest of the period was dedicated to calling her the sewer slut who liked it down and dirty. A few guys had even said they would still tap it if they could put a bag over her head and fuck her into oblivion because she obviously needed it. Elena had hid her head ad Rebekah had said that Elena probably wouldn't mind because she pleasured some of her whore moms clients without a single resistents so she must have been the biggest slut ever. One boy even went as far to give her his number so he could receive a killer blow job sometime. They all laughed and left the classroom as Elena gathered her stuff and ran straight into a guy that she had never seen before.

She thought he would be angry with her, but instead he helped her up and smiled at her handing her a spare shirt from his backpack.

"I'm sorry about that. Here you can use my extra shirt for the rest of the day. It might stink a little but it's better than being wet and reeking of toilet water."

"Thanks. I guess you're going to bully me or ask for my number too right?"

"No offense, but I don't know you or anyone well enough to do that. Plus I would never bully anyone and I'm new here so I get how brutal these people can be. Also I'm Damon Salvatore and you are?"

"Elena Gilbert."

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Elena Gilbert."

"Even when I smell like toilet water?

"Even then."

Elena smiled as Damon picked up the suicide note that fell out of her pocket and started reading it with a face full of concern.

"Elena I-"

She snatched the note out of his hand and shoved it into her pocket. She so didn't need this right now.

"I have to go. It was nice meeting you Damon really."

She gave him a half smile and ran away. That was so embarrassing. Now she would be a suicidal freak on top of everything else and she couldn't bare that any longer. She needed to find an exit strategy out of this life and she had to do it quick before it got any worse.
