“1st part complete,” Tia whispered into the microphone then cut off the audio.
“Well, there you go Light View High, the reign of Coin Clent stop- ends here and now,” Saf said over the speaker.
“Have a good day!” Tia said after and the announcement was over.
Boos, paper, insults, and objects were coming at me from left and from the right.
Harper whispered into my ear.
“Think Nic will still love you after this one, don’t you?”
Harper walked down the hall to where she met Tiana and Saf. She threw her hands over their shoulders ad they began walking down the hallway happily as they discussed.
I looked around me and felt like I was frozen in time.
A hand squeezed my shoulder and I turned around.
It was Nic.
“It’s okay Coy, I forgive you, don’t wor-.” I pushed him to the side and ran down the hall balling my eyes out.
“Coy!” I heard Nic shouting from behind me.
I got my car and it had been covered with toilet paper and eggs. I began pulling all of them off and wiping the windows with my hands.
I unlocked my door and drove off to CVS.
When I got there, I was no longer crying. My eyes were bloodshot red.
I barged into the door and went directly to the supplies aisle and got a box of razors.
I walked to the counter and threw the box of razors onto the counter.
The lady at the counter looked up at me and shook her head in disappointment.
“$4.98,” The woman said.
I dropped a 5 dollar bill onto the counter, grabbed the box of razors, which was now in a plastic bag, and left the store.
I got into my car and drove straight home. Thank god, nobodies car was outside the garage, meaning no one was home.
I went into my room and took out the bottle of vodka under my bed. I took a large gulp and took out a razor.
I brought the razor to my wrist and pushed deep and dragged it across my skin.
I was in anguishing pain.
As I continued to cut, blood began dripping onto the floor below me. I couldn’t control myself, I could not stop. I went all the way up my wrists and they were pouring with blood.
I grabbed the vodka from my side. This was where the actual pain came to play.
I took a deep breath and began to pour it on my wrists only causing me to cry out in pain and anger.
“Dumbass bitch, you’re always fucking up other’s lives. Your brothers, your parents, friends, now yourself too. Fuck you, Coy Clent, fuck you!” I shouted as I threw the bottle of vodka to the wall.
My hands were numb and immovable, but it was better this way. In fact, it was amazing this way. The pain is, or at least was, gone.
Chapter 35
It has been one week and I hadn’t gone to school once.
My phone was full of messages from Nic. Kingsley sent a few, but there were none from Tia.
“I miss you…” Nic would text.
“I love you, Coy.”
“Hey, where are you?”
“Coy, please reply!”
“You did nothing wrong. It’s Harper that is going to pay.”
A new text message came in from Nic, “I’m coming to get you.”
I had showered earlier in the morning but I was dressed in a Panic! At The Disco top and torn jeans.
I heard a knock on the door downstairs then my name being called repeatedly.
“Coy, Coy, Coy?” I could hear Nic shouting from the front yard.
For all he knew, I could be sleeping -- or dead.
I shook off the thought and continues scrolling through all the hate messages I had gotten over the past week.
“I will kill you.”
“@stacy61023 she’s the one!”
“Backstabbers get hurt!”
“Omfg ew, we were going to be lab partners, God is REAL!”
“@itsbritneybtch oh my god, looks can be deceiving…”
“Kill yourself, whore.”
“Boyfriend thief.”
“Most bastards are bound to end up like this guys, it’s okay.”
I heard my front door open and then the person calling my name became louder.
Oh shit, I showed Nic the replica rock with the front door key in it.
“Coy, I’m here for you. Everything is going to be okay.” I could hear Nic saying from the outside of my doors.
Tears slid down my cheeks but I quickly wiped them away.
Nic knocked on the door and began walking in slowly. He was holding a bag of items in his right hand and his phone in his left. He came to the foot of my bed and dropped the bag and his phone.
“Coy, you okay?” He said as he came and sat next to me.
My eyes began to tear up again, a few trying to slip away.
I shook my head ‘no.’
Nic swooped me up in his arms and held me tight.
“It’s okay. You’re going to be okay. I don’t care about what they’re saying. I only care about you.” Nic whispered in my ear before kissing my forehead.
“How did you know I was alive?” I said as a tear slipped down my left cheek.
“You left your messages on ‘read’,” Nic said.
And for the first time in a good week, I laughed. Nic joined along too.
“Just promise me you won’t do anything stupid, alright?” Nic held out his pinky to me.
“I promise,” I said as I locked pinkies with him.
He got up and got the bag at the foot of the bed. He then walked back to where I was sitting on the bed.
Nic sat down and brought out three items from the bag. A pink and red bear holding a heart, a chocolate box, and apple cider.
“Aw,” I said as I cleaned my
