'Well we're going with you then!' I exclaim loudly. The nice couple from the table over looked up at us.
'Sorry' I whisper. They nod at me and go back to their food.
'You can't! Lexi has just started her new school, we can't just take her away. We aren't just leaving her with Chris and PJ again,
Remember what happened last time?' He has a point. Last time we left Lexi with Chris and PJ was when we were going on a cruise of the Caribbean for 2 weeks for our 10 year anniversary. That was when Chris decided it would be hilarious to give Lexi numerous cans of red bull and let her stay up until midnight every night, on school nights.
'I just won't go, it's fine' he says, slightly sadly.
'No, baby you have to. I can look after Lexi, when do you have to go?' I hear a beep. Lexi pulls out her phone and frowns at it.
'Whats up sweety?' I ask her.
'Oh, it's nothing' she puts it back in her pocket and carries on eating.
'I have to go next Friday if I'm going'
'You're going. Opportunities like this don't just happen!' Dan smiles at me brightly, his beautiful chestnut eyes glowing in the light of the restaurant. We all finish our meals and get a taxi home.

I don't fully understand why I said yes. It was just a spur of the moment thing. I barely know him!

[Paige]-8:45pm
Just dump him!

[Alexa]-8:47pm
Yeah but if I do, Caspar will be even worse to me, and Leigh-Anne and Zoe hate me. What do I do?!

[Paige]-8:49pm
Look, just get rid of him! You clearly don't want him! And you have me anyway, you don't need the others!

[Alexa]-8:51pm
Yeah I guess you're right, thank you Paige :D xxx

[Paige]-8:52pm
No problem babe 3 xxx

I gather my thoughts together and tap a quick text to Jack

[Alexa]-8:57pm
I'm sorry, Jack. I'm don't really understand why I said yes to you, I barely know you, I hope we can still be friends?

[Jack]-9:01pm
Whatever

I lay back on my bed, throwing my phone onto the beanbag on the other side of the room. Not even a week into secondary school and I've had a boyfriend, I've dumped one, I made a friend, I lost a friend and I get bullied. Yay for growing up!

I open my laptop and log into twitter. I've gained 3 more followers.

Great. 3 people that hate me. I spend the next hour wasting time, scrolling through my home feed, reading people's tweets. I check my dms.

So what's it like living with 2 faggots? Do you have to fight over bathroom time?

Direct from Casparrrr37
Your brain must be fucked up

Direct from Casparrrr37
No wonder you're such an ugly whore, being brought up by 2 stupid faggots.

Tears roll down my face, and they don't stop. They just keep falling and falling, like nothing could stop them. I run to the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror. He's right. I am ugly. Scraggly dark brown hair, a big nose, a fat stomach. I slide down the wall onto the floor. My head falls into my hands and I keep crying, balling my fist so the nails dig into the skin. As my hand starts to bleed I feel a strange sense of release...pleasure almost. So I keep doing it. Doing it until I have no tears left to cry, no energy left to squeeze. I go back to my computer and check my dms again. I have 3.

Stupid girl, don't you know that now you have nobody to stick up for you around Caspar? Diddums.

I type a quick reply.

AlexaLester357
I can look after myself I'm sure.

I look at the others.

Direct from PinnockPineapple
You'll soon realise that you were stupid for shouting at me, and i won't be forgiving. Stupid bitch.

I thought she was so nice! I don't bother replying, I just read the other dm.

Direct from Casparrrr37
Nothing to say? Probably crying your eyes out like a pussy! Stupid fat cow, go back to wherever you belong!

I slam my laptop shut and fall back on my bed. I'm already in my pyjamas so I just lay there until eventually the sweet release of sleep overwhelms me.

Only a short chapter, I know, but I'm building up to bigger things!

Thanks for everyone's constant support!

R&R for infinite malteasers!

Love you all,
