BEEP!

...

BEEP!!

...

BEEP!!!

The fire alarm started going off. Was it a drill?

Sarah looked around and got up.

I grabbed her hand, "Please don't leave me here Sarah!" I said.

"I'm not, don't worry. Let me get your clothes." She said calmly.

I let go of her hand and wiped my tears as she walked over to my locker, and then hers. She handed me my dress and my purse. Sarah started undressing, taking her shirt off first leaving her bra on.

"When did you get so hot.."

"What did you say Ellie?" She asked.

Shit I said that out loud..?

"Oh, um nothing." I said turning around and pulling off my shirt. I put my dress on and took my shorts off. I stuffed them in my locker.

"We should use the back door." Sarah said.

I nodded and followed her out of the back door. We went outside an saw smoke come from the cafeteria. We stood by all the other kids outside in front of the school. I heard James calling my name frantically.

"I'm over here James!" I yelled raising my hand above everyone, waving at him.

He ran over to us. "Oh my god Ellie, are you okay?!" He said, hugging me tight.

"Yea, I'm alright." I said with a fake smile.

He looked over at Sarah and then looked back at me with a confused face.

"Are you two friends again?" He asked.

"Well.."

"Yes, yes we are!" Sarah spoke up, sliding her fingers into my mine.

I looked at her and smiled; she smiled back.

"OKAY EVERYONE! THE REST OF THE SCHOOL DAY IS CANCELLED!" I heard the principal yell through a cheer cone.

I head a bunch of excitement from all the students. Sarah led me away from everyone.

"You haven't told James about it, have you?" Sarah asked.

"Umm.. I don't know what your talking about.."

"Don't play dumb Ellie. You know what I'm talking about."

I looked down and said.. "How am I supposed to tell him I got raped..?" I asked her, breaking down in tears.

She lifted my face up with her finger and wiped my tears away.

"I don't know, I'm sorry to bring this up.." She said hugging me.

I hugged her back and heard someone walking up to us. I turned to look and saw James.

"Hey you two, I was wondering where you ran off to. What's going on?" He asked.

"Oh you know, girlie things." Sarah said.

"Alright well we should probably get going." He said.

James, Sarah, and I walked home. We finally got to James house. Sarah was still with us.

"James, you know it's your street now." I said with a smile.

"Can't I come to your house princess? We can all watch movies and eat snacks." He begged me with puppy eyes.

As much as I wanted him to come over I couldn't let him..

"I'm sorry baby but you can't, me and Sarah are going to have a long overdue girls night!" I told him.

"I thought the puppy eyes always worked.. Well I hope y'all have a nice day and night then." He told us.

I giggled and thanked him. He kissed me on the cheek and walked away.

"We're having a girls night?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah silly, we are." I smiled.

We got to my home around the time we would usually have lunch. Dalton and Jason were no where to be seen. That's a good thing I hope..

I opened the front door cautiously, looking  around for my daddy. I didn't see him so I called out for him;

"Daddy? Are you home? I got off of school early.."

"Elizabeth? Why are you home so early?" He asked in an angry tone walking out of his room.

I opened the door all the way.

"There was a fire at school so they let us all go home.." I said.

He opened his mouth and hesitated when he saw Sarah in the door frame behind me. What was he going to say?

"Oh hello Sarah." He said.

"We were hoping to have a girls night, I hope that's alright." Sarah said with a smile.

"Nothing's stopping you." He said going back into his room and closing the door.

I let out all the breath I was holding in. I walked into my room and Sarah followed. I put down my purse.

"I'm going to change, could you step outside for a second?" I asked Sarah.

"Oh yeah, I'll be right outside." She said, opening the door and closing it behind her.

I pulled off the straps of my dress and let it fall down my body. I looked at my body and stood there criticizing myself.

I am so fat.. I don't deserve to eat..

I am so worthless and ugly..

I pulled at my skin and compared myself to what I could look like. What I could be like. I started crying, my makeup running down my face. I looked at my right arm.. I brought it up to my mouth and bit down hard. I stopped and did it again in another place. I sat down on the floor and tried to cry silently.

"Are you okay Ellie?" Sarah asked me through the door.

"Yea, yea I'm fine. Give me a few more minutes, I'm almost done."

She opened the door anyway and saw me on the floor, my ruined make up, and then the bite marks on my arm.

Sarah's pov:

I went over to her and sat on the ground next to her. I took her right hand and stared at the bite marks she made on her arm.

"Why, why are you doing this again?" I asked her.

"I just want to feel loved, I want to feel like I'm beautiful and not a fat slut."

"You are loved Elizabeth. I love you, James loves you, all of your friends loves you. You are so beautiful too, your the prettiest girl I know. When you walk around the school you sparkle and shine, especially when you walk into a room, the room lights up because of you. You are not fat let alone a slut! Listen to me when I say your beautiful just the way you are. Everyone has flaws, but that's a part of being human. You can't let others bring you down. You are a strong independent woman and you know that. Don't let the little things get to you. We are going to make sure that those guys don't hurt you again okay?"

"Okay.. and thank you for the amazing speech like always." Ellie said with a small smile.

"Your welcome. So um do you wanna get dressed now?" I asked.

"Yeah sorry about all this.." She said while getting up. Her cheeks are a bit pink, I think she's blushing.

"It's okay, don't be sorry. Let me wipe off your make up really quick." I got up and took a few makeup wipes and wiped off her makeup.

Ellie's pov:

When Sarah was done, I opened my dresser and got some sweat pants and a tank top.

"Oh my god your butt? Did your dad do that?!" She said.

"Shhhhh!" I shushed her. I quickly put on my clothes and sat down on my bed.

"I'll tell you later.. I want to take a nap if you don't mind..." I said quietly.

"Yeah that's fine." She said softly.

I grabbed my mr. cuddles teddy bear. I kept him close and closed my eyes. I soon felt a blanket drape over my body. I smiled and dozed off to sleep.

Longest chapter yet! I think lol. I hope y'all liked it :)
