Shattering

My life has never been perfect, not only am I hated in my own home but I'm also hated at school. I suppose if I talked more at school then people might have liked me, but I never saw the point. It wouldn't have mattered, who would like someone as broken as me?

I spent years building my walls up brick by brick to keep people out, to prevent me being hurt even more. I lost all friends and all love, I guess that's the best explanation for how I got where I am today.

"Janet! Get down here right now," That's my mom, after my older brother died in a car crash she started to treat me as though I was worthless.

Not wanting another beating after last nights I quickly get dressed in all black, a black sweatshirt over my black tank top, black ripped jeans, and black converse.

I quickly and quietly jog down the stairs, throw my back pack over my shoulder and walk into the kitchen to greet my mom.

"Mother," I look her in the eyes accidentally.

She glares and shrieks, "Don't look at me! Get out of my house, and don't come back tonight I'm having a friend over!"

You'd think she was divorced from my dad with how often she has a "friend" over but nope, they are still together somehow. I nod my head lowering my eyes so she doesn't see my face, as quick as quietly possible I jog out the front door and get ready to walk to school.

I'm not exactly mute when it comes to school but I try to say as few words as possible, eventually my teachers gave up on me, and if you go long enough speaking only at lost 10 words a day you start to forget you can speak.

After 30 minutes of walking I finnaly arrive at school, I walk in and am immediately greeted by the mean girl, Samantha.

"Hey mute, miss me?" No I didn't miss you Samantha, your two week vacation made school so much easier, but of course I dont say that I just smile and roll my eyes.

"Oh don't be like that mute!" She snarls, I forgot how much she hates me rolling my eyes at her, I guess I should repair myself for the beating I'm about to get.

She pushes me into a locker and laughs before punching me in the stomach, I keep my eyes down and stay silent, after a few minutes the bell rings and she leaves. Once I'm sure that the coast is clear I walk into my math class.

Thankfully I don't have any classes after lunch, so instead of going to lunch I head to the park. The park or "Almond creek park" is a few minutes a way from the school and is where I stay when my mom tells me not to come home.

Once I sit down at a tree and pull out a book the feeling of hunger I'm used to goes away. An hour or two passes before it starts to get dark.

About an hour or so later I feel a shoe tap my stomach. I open my eyes slowly adjusting to the darkness.

"Mute?" I hear a deep voice say before chuckling. "Man this is just my luck! I've been meaning to blow off some steam," still not knowing who it is I look up a little before seeing who it is... Jake Markson, oh no this is bad news, he doesnt just kick and punch for a little he stabs, I guess his brother being a star made him filled with hate.

He grabs me by my hair and slams me against the tree, I hear a little shing before I feel something in the left side of my stomach, in horror I look down and see his knife in my stomach. He pulls it out and makes one next to it, before pulling out again and adding a rainbow like curve under it, making it a frowny face.

I hear him laugh, before someone shouts, "Jake?" My head starts to feel light and as I pass out from blood loss I hear "fwat argh you dwing?" I try to figure out what that person said but then I pass out.
