Flashback
Two days later
It was now the beginning of the week and everyone was back to school after the homecoming dance. Emilie was walking in the school when something went wrong.
"Yo Emilie take it off!"
"Yo Emilie get any new boys lately!"
"Emilie Vandalite or should I say Emilie Sexterlite!"
Emilie heard many people calling our rude comments out to her and laughed at her as she was walking to her locker. When she finally reached her locker which seemed like it was miles away and she saw Jen there. She immediately ran up to her and wanted to know what was going on.
"Jen what the hell is going on?" Emilie whispered.
"….The picture. Everyone saw the picture of you…well you know."
Emilie's eyes widen she couldn't believe what she just said. "Come with me!" Emilie dragged Jen into the closest bathroom.
"Em calm down." Jen tried to calm her down, but it wasn't working. Emilie was breathing really heavy and fast. She was also moving around a lot.
"Jen how can I calm down when everyone in this school-" Emilie was cut short when she saw something on the wall. "What the hell?" Emilie yelled. The wall had slut, Vandaslut, and Vanslut on it. "Jen who the hell sent out that text!" Emilie asked as she got a wet paper towel and tried to rub the marker off the wall.
"I don't know why or who did that."
Emilie was trying to wash the marker off, but it wasn't working at all it was just making the wall wet. "Give me a pen now!"
"Uh ok." Jen opened up her book bag and found a pen and gave it to Emilie.
Emilie took the pen and was trying to black out the marker. "Damn it!" the pen wasn't working at all. "Why won't it work!" Emilie was starting to break down and fell to the floor.
"Emilie come on get off the floor…which is filthy. Go talk to whoever you sent the text to first. The person probably made the text get out there." Jen helped Emilie get up off the floor.
"Oh my god that son of a bitch!" Emilie yelled and walked out of the bathroom. Emilie was looking all over for Drake when she finally spotted him. She walked up to him with an angry face.
"What the hell did you do!" Emilie yelled at him.
"Look if you're talking about that text you sent me I didn't do anything with it. I didn't send it to anyone I don't know how it got out.
"Oh so now you're thinking of me as a fool? Well think again!" Emilie slapped him in the face which caused him to fall to the ground.
"Ow!"
Then Kiersten casually walked up like nothing was going on. "Hey Emilie before you start a slap fight I have to show you this new wallpaper I got. It's super sexy. I was thinking about sending it to . Do you think I should?" Kiersten showed her the text as her wallpaper.
"Oh shut it Kiersten! Oh wait I meant to say Kiersten Bitchy Kline!"
"Hey that's not my middle name!" Kiersten protested.
"Oh shut it! And you!" Emilie looked towards Drake on the ground. "I'll be back and I'll want answers!" Emilie ran off with anger.
Present Flora's POV
"I don't know what happened, but whatever happened must've been bad since she killed herself."
"Well do you have your daughter's phone with you right now?" Emma asked.
"No, I left it in her room. I'll go home and I'll look at it and maybe in the next couple of days we'll see each other again."
"Ok I'll be free." Emma said.
I got up and left. After that conversation with Emma I couldn't believe it. Emilie may have been cyber bullied and I didn't even realize it. Yes, I realized since homecoming she was acting different, but I just thought it was because she was a teenager and well I changed a lot during my teenager years so I just figured. Now I really wanted Helia with me he'd comfort me right now. Since he left me I always wondered why he left me. I just wished that I could contact him somehow and tell him his only daughter that I knew of was dead. I shook my head and tried to focus on what was going on and thinking I had to find out why she killed herself.
Once I got home I went back up to Emilie's room and got her phone. Once I turned it on I looked at her photos. I couldn't believe it there had been like ten photos of my daughter pretty much naked. All she had on was her panties. I couldn't believe it so I decided to snoop on her accounts online. Good thing Emilie left her passwords and usernames on her computer. When I got on her Facebook account there were mean comments all over her wall. I wrote a couple of the names down and I decided just to rest for the rest of the day and think of my next move.
Next day
I decided to go to the school and talk to the principals about some of the students who were bullying Emilie. I was in Mr. Smith's office and the vice principal, Mrs. Knot, was also in there. The principal was on his side of the desk while Mrs. Knot and I were across from him.
"Mr. Smith I'd like to have a work with some of these students. I believe they were part of cyber bullying my daughter." I handed him a sheet with a couple names on it.
"Let's see…Jackson Miller, Ariana Klingsmith, and Blake Zane." Mr. Smith said and then gave Mrs. Knot a look. She then shook her head no. "I'm sorry Mrs. Vandalite, but we can't help." he handed me the sheet back.
I looked at him with disbelief. "Wait you can't help me or won't help me?"
"Can't." Mr. Smith got out of his chair. "Those students don't go to school here. You said they were cyber bullying so they were dummy account probably "
"Fine if you can't help me the someone will." I got up and left his office. I knew the one person who this all started with and I knew what class he was in. So I waited outside for him. Once the bell rung I looked at each student closely at every student. When Drake finally came out I pulled him aside
"Mrs. V….I have to get to class." Drake said.
"It'll only take a minute." I pulled out Emilie's phone and showed it to him. "I know you saw it. Now tell me who did you send it to?"
"Mrs. Vandalite I didn't send it to anyone…I have to get to class." Drake turned around and headed off to class.
Well that didn't work at all. I decided to wait outside until everyone was done with class. After about another hour I saw the students coming out. Then I saw who I was targeting next. I got up and walked up to Jen who was talking to some of her other friends.
"Jen can I talk to you alone?"
The rest of her friends left so I could talk to her.
"So what did you need to ask me?" Jen asked.
"Do you know why Jen killed herself?"
Jen walked away from me and went to go sit on a bench. I sat down next to her and waited for an answer.
"Mrs. V I really want to know why she killed herself, but I don't know."
"I think you know something. I saw a video of her talking about some stuff. She said you two were talking. Why weren't you two talking?"
"I don't know…some dumb fight we had."
"Do you think she left any other videos?"
"Well she had a vlog and posted some of them, but I think she took it down before she killed herself."
"Jen I know you're leaving something out…but if you don't want to tell me right now I'm not going to force you." I got up. "You know where I live if you want to confess some more later." I left Jen to sit there on the bench to think.
Later that day
It was around four when I heard a knock at the door. I got up and went to go answer the door. When I opened up the door I was kind of surprised at who it was. It was Jen. I was thinking she'd come by in like a day or two not this soon.
"So you want to help me now?"
"Let me search her computer and maybe I can find some videos."
"Ok, but first let me show you the last video she made."
I lead Jen up to Emilie's room. While the computer was loading Jen was looking around some of Emilie's old stuff in her room. It looked like she really missed her.
"Here come here. Here's the last video she made."
I showed her the video about Emilie crying and talking about how her life was being invaded and how she and Jen weren't talking. While Jen watched that it looked like she was amazed.
"Not easy to watch is it? I've seen it so many times I think I'm numb."
"Let me on I'll try to look for anything."
"Ok I'll be back in a minute." I got up and let Jen do her thing.
In the meantime while she was doing that I picked up my cell phone and a piece of paper and called the newspaper company.
"Hello I received your let about my article and you said you could publish it. So I can just revise it then you can publish it?"
The person told me to make the fixes and then I send it back in and it could be published.
"Ok I'll get my article revised and send it back to you. Bye." I hung my cell phone up and went back to Jen. "So you find anything?"
"No…she only left those few things you already saw. Nothing else about why she killed herself."
"I don't understand why would she only leave those few things?"
"I have to go." Jen got up and left to go back home.
I needed answers. Jen wasn't giving them and Drake wasn't either or at least not yet. I needed to try someone out of the school. I gave Emma a quick text to meet me at Starbucks again tomorrow.
The next day
I meet up with Emma again wondering if she had any answers.
"Emma did you see this picture before?" I pulled out Emilie's phone and showed it to her.
"Yes…I saw it from a friend. She went to the all star camp Emilie went to."
Flashback Normal POV
Emilie was walking up to the registration table when to girls came up to her.
"Hey I'm Haily. You go to Greenburg right?"
"Nah…Wolverine High and my name's Emilie." Emilie corrected.
"Oh my gosh! I've heard of you! You're like the Wolverine High's best player they've had for a while. Oh by the way I'm Lindsey."
"Yeah you're right. I'll see you two on the field I guess then." Emilie walked off to the registration booth and got into the game.
The girls were playing some friendly games of field hockey and Emilie was showing off some mad skills. When the game was over Emilie walked back over to Haily and Lindsey.
"Hey Emilie those were some mad skills you had out there!" Lindsay said.
"Yeah they were. Hey I'm going to get something to drink you two wanna come?" Haily asked.
"I'll go with." Lindsey got up and followed Haily.
"I'm good you two go." Emilie remained sitting down.
When the two left everyone's phones started going crazy. Everyone was starting to receive a text and everyone was starting to whisper about something and glancing at Emilie.
"Hey Lindsey look at this." Haily showed her the text.
"Oh my gosh you have to delete that Haily!"
"Why? Just as long as Emilie doesn't know I have it, it doesn't matter."
Meanwhile with Emilie she was starting to get annoyed with the people at the camp. Finally she gave up grabbed her equipment and left.
Present
"You said your friend received it at all star camp. Did anyone else receive it?"
"She told me everyone received it."
"If everyone at all star camp saw it then how far do you think it spread?"
"If everyone forwarded that text then….it went viral."
Yay another chapter done…I think I'm about a quarter of the way done! Yay! SNEAK PREVIEW!
"Hey mom." Kiersten greeted as she got in the car.
"Hey Kirsty how was school?"
"Not bad, but there's reporters everywhere."
Hmm…what's going on? Keep reading to find out! And please review your thoughts: )
