Time seamed to freeze when Laney felt the cold sensation run down her back. She felt everyone's eyes on her, like she was something to be displayed in a museum. She could hear the eruption of laughter fill the room, echoing in her ears. To say she was embarrassed would be an understatement. Especially when her long-time crush, Corey Riffen, was the one who sabotaged her. It felt like a blow to the chest. She felt like she couldn't breathe, she was losing air in a matter of seconds.
Laney's POV
So, this is what heartbreak feels like, huh? The unbearable pain, the humiliation, the regret. I wish I could take it all back. I wish I never even though of him, that he was never the one to pass my mind every second of every day. No- I wish i'd never even met him. But, life's a fucking bitch that'll stab you in the back every chance they get. Kinda like Carrie.
I blinked and held back the tears that were threatening to spill from my eyes. I wanted to let it all out, to just sit there and cry. Maybe even break a thing or two. But hey, that's what life does to me everyday. Especially when you get thrown against a locker 5 times a day (at a minimum) and you get to feel the great sensation of a lock pushing against your back. I just love it when i can practically feel the bruises forming. Awesome, eh? But then again, nobody cares. Nobody cares that I come home everyday and cut. Sometimes I go deeper than the day before. Unfortunately, I don't have the courage to actually kill myself. I wouldn't do that to my aunt Maggie, the only one who takes the time to think about me and care. Even more unfortunate for me, she lives in Colorado, while I live in Quebec, and I can't go there myself.
I wiped the punch from my eyes to avoid them getting burned any further and just walked away. I straightened my jacket and took a deep breath. I opened the big wooden doors, all eyes on me. As I walked out, some people said a few rude things, but I just ignored it. Honestly, I was used to that by now. The only thing that truly hurt me was how Corey was the one to hurt me this time. I guess he isn't the guy I thought he was.
So I'm thinking about doing a contest for corney stories. (just for fun, i'm not doing this because I think i'm better at writing than everyone else, I love everyone's stories, and trust me, i'm mad at myself for my horrible writing) Like, whoever wants to participate will write a corney one-shot, and i'll chose 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. The one-shot can be depressing, fluffy, whatever you guys want it to be. Make it as long as you want. It could even be any rating. All you have to do is post it, and say that it's for my contest. But I'm not really sure if you guys would want to do it, so comment saying that you'd want to take part in it if you want me to go through with it. :D
