4 hours later,
I was packing my books when the physics teacher gave us our assignment.
The bell rang and Lucas stood up while I stared at him.
“Wait for me here, I need to get something,” He said while I nodded and smiled thinly at him as he walked out of the class.
“Hey baby, I see Lucas getting all cozy with you,” Leticia chirped behind me while I rolled my eyes standing up.
“Where you up to?” She asked gazing at me and I held my stomach which was grumbling.
“Hungry… I need to fill my stomach, I’m going for a break, are you coming along?” I asked her.
“Nope, I gotta write some notes I missed in the library,” She smiled zipping up her bag.
“Okay,” I said as I slung the straps of my bag over my shoulder.
“Tell Beatrice I would see her later,” She said.
“I’m getting jealous, you’re stealing my best friend,” I pouted while she chuckled at me.
“Nah I can’t do that, we’re all friends,” She said and I waved my hand at her as I quickly thought of going to the canteen and have my lunch and get back to class before Lucas arrives.
I walked hurriedly to the canteen receiving stares from the snoopy teens hanging around.
I got into the canteen and saw it was almost crowded making me wonder if these students don’t wait for the bell to ring before they hurry in here while I went over to the counter Immediately.
“One hamburger, donuts, and banana milkshake,” I smiled as the lady nodded and prepared all that I’ve asked for.
“Just pack in a Ziploc,” I said and she nodded and did what I asked for and handed it to me.
I passed through some tables when I stumbled into someone.
I looked up to see Jenny in front of me with a stern look.
Does this girl ever have a sense of break even when I almost signed those documents for her and Lucas to be arrested and here she is staying in my way?
I glanced at the back expecting her two puppies to be with her but they were not there seem she was the only one here.
“Excuse me!” I said flatly while she just bored holes into my head.
“Why don’t you die along with your parents?” She asked with hate taking me back as I stared at her in shock.
I wasn’t expecting her to say that…
“Or did you kill them, maybe they never liked you, that’s why they left you?” She said as she placed her hands on her chin as if she’s thinking for an answer while my eyes watered with tears as I stood rooted to the ground.
Trust me I’ve asked those questions a thousand times by myself but she saying it out made my heart wrench in pain.
‘No, Camilla! Don’t listen to what that bitch is saying!’ My mind said.
“Maybe they didn’t love you after all since you’re a witch,” She sneered while I gasped as tears slid down my face.
I could hear those haunting voices coming back to my head as my heart started beating faster.
She needs to stop!
“Out of my way!” I managed to say.
“Yeah sure, but I have one more thing to say,” She smiled mischievously as she walked closer to me and leaned forward so she could whisper in my ear.
“Everyone you love will somehow find a way to leave you to wander deep in sorrow, you don’t even belong here after all, so it’s better to be dead,” She said lowly moving back when she was done with a satisfied smirk plastered on her face while I whimpered from where I was standing as the food in my hand dropped to the floor.
She was right…
Dad left at first without realizing how things were fucking hard for us then Mum left too after a while because of a sickness she hid from us, then Lillian… How couldn’t they think how much it affected me before they all left me behind?
Maybe they didn’t love me as she said…
“Camilla, don’t listen to that bitch,’ My mind screamed but I was wallowing in dejection.
‘Hahaha! It’s true, no one wanted you in the first place,’ Those voices were back to tormenting me as I staggered.
‘No one wants to be with you, you’re misfortune,’ Another voice echoed loudly.
“Stop” I whimpered as tears strolled down my face as the voices kept coming in.
‘Everyone will just leave you one way or the other, hahaha!’ The voices laughed as they were enjoying my torture.
“Stop!” I breathed out moving backward, I clutched my hands tightly on my head as I tried to shut the voices.
‘What are you waiting for? Just end your life!’ The voices said as I staggered, my head getting dizzy.
“No!!!” I screamed as everyone stared at me.
‘End it, Camilla! End it!! End it!!!” The voices rang making my head throb with severe aches.
I heard people murmuring as I tried to open my eyes staring around.
“Is she crazy?” I heard someone say.
“She’s acting crazy, what’s wrong with her?” I heard them talk faintly.
‘End it!!!’ The voices screamed as I collided on the table where some students sat and they were watching me with curious eyes.
‘I needed to make this voices stop, it’s more than hell,’ I cried bitterly clutching a cutlery knife on the table.
“Stop!!!!” I cried holding the knife tightly.
‘End it! It’s the only way out,’ The voices echoed.
I stood up staggering still holding the knife.
“Maybe you’re right, after all, Jenny!” I screamed moving back like a drunkard but I don’t know if she was fucking there seeing how crazy and deranged I was behaving.
“No one cares about me!” I screamed in pain staring at all the faces gazing at me, the voices of the demons doing their own part of demoralizing me.
“Camilla!” I heard someone scream my name from afar.
“And I’m ending it!” I chuckled bitterly and stabbed myself hard in the stomach as everyone gasped as the voices in my head slowly stopped when they achieved their goal.
“Camilla! No!!” I heard my name being screamed but it was too late, the piercing pain shot through my stomach as I stared down at the blood oozing out and adding a color to my cream shirt.
My legs were getting weak and my hands were shaking like never before as I stared at my front to see Lucas running to me in blurry vision as my tears fell in heavy downpour, I still managed to see the shock, fear and panic written all over his face.
My head was blacking out while my whole body went numb as I fell slowly aiming towards the ground.
I tried hard not to listen to those voices but it was too strong for me to fight off.
I tried but I was too weak…
Maybe I could get to see my parents and be with them again.
