DON'T CALL ME ANGEL

ELLIE'S POV

At evening, sitting on this terrace once again,where the sun goes to rest silently mocking me of the fact that another painful and hurtful day was sure to come again, I see it slowly drifting with all it's mighty rays of light and taking the world by surprise.

I look up and I see blue birds chatting making

"tweet tweet"

sounds , probably talking about the wonderful day they had,with that thought crossing my mind,a new wave of tears flushed my eyes

"I'm going to kill myself!!!"

"I'm going to kill myself!"

I heard myself say as I ran to the kitchen and grab a knife

"you're only fifteen...you don't have to do this"

"how are you going to face everyone tomorrow....just end this!!"

so continued the battle between my angel guardian and inner demon.i didn't even realize when I dropped the knife into the sink and started pulling my hair, screaming until my head started to throb in pain and before I knew it , everything went pitch black.

"wake-up!!!'

I felt a sharp pain coming from my cheek,which woke me up instantly,I held my already burning cheek and shifted back a little,I tried to process who just slapped me,but my eyesight was blurred by already gathering tears,another slap landed on my cheek ...Now this made come back to my senses

"fat bitch !! if you're gonna die then go do it outside!!"

aunt Maggie roared to my face ,my hands were on my cheeks,my entire body was shaking because of the effect of her slap, I looked around and noticed I was still in the kitchen,I then looked at aunt Maggie her robust body frame hovering in front of me

"fat bitch!!..don't tell me you fainted cause KLARA showed everyone in school your shapeless ass"

she made the statement and started laughing,it made burst into new sobs

"now listen you fat pig!!"

she said dragging my hair, making me get up

"I want you to wash those dishes and prepare something for me and Klara to eat "

she said pushing me to the floor:my elbow broke my fall,it was still very painful.

"Klara did a good job today!"

she said finally and I laid on the ground for some minutes trying to digest all the emotional and physical hurt; I got up eventually and started doing the dishes

"everything will be alright"

I comforted myself, trying to lighten my mood,images of what went down flashed through my head

"oh this is a nightmare!!!"

FLASHBACK

AT DAVIES ACADEMY: SHOWER ROOM

" a free bird leaps on the back of the wind ,

and flows downstream till the current ends

and dips his wings In the orange Sun rays

and dares to claim the sky....."

I sang a melody I composed myself as the cool water gently got me clean.i wasn't able to get a shower before coming to school because of the huge chores Aunt Maggie gave me,in fact I hardly ever took baths at home only in school.sometimes I'd question aunt Maggie's harsh treatments towards me....but I had read somewhere that little girls that undergo a life of heavy chores grow up to become respectable women of the society and so I did everything with a happy heart , keeping in mind that aunt probably wanted the best for me,I'd do her bidding with a smile and keep my heart on God.

I was enjoying the bath ,until I felt a gush of cool air coming from my back it was the door , someone had opened it .I turned around to see Klara and her friends laughing at me ,I turned all different shades of red as I switched off the shower and tried to reach for my towel.

" Grab herrr!!"

I heard Klara command the other girls

"what?!"

was the only thing I could say as I was utterly confused.

"please stop it!!!..."

I tried to free myself from their hold,but with my resistance came along a stronger hold on my body.They started dragging my hair ....well one of them did :Daina!

"you do have nice hair ...too bad I can't say the same for your ass!!!"

she said which made the other mean girls giggle.

"please don't do this to me....I'm your cousin!!!"

I pleaded with them,tears in my eyes and goosebumps all over my body,but they all laughed and continued to drag me to the student's hallway

**************

I felt my moist body slide on the floor and then stop, at first there was dead silence,then after few seconds a roaring wave of laughter erupted,my eye were closed shut,my face on the floor and I was sobbing uncontrollably, I heard Klara and her friends rub salt to my wounds by raining all sorts of insults on me. I felt someone raise my head up with my hair, making my face look at the laughing faces, I couldn't see anything as tears blurred my vision

" look at them!!!"

I recognize that voice,it was my own cousin Klara.

I don't know whether it was Me or my body acting for itself but I felt myself getup, my legs were shaking badly, I felt an icy coldness all over my body not just because of the fact I was naked but because of the eyes that felt like thorns on my body .I used my hands to wrap myself but that couldn't keep me warm

"here!"

I heard a masculine voice say, I looked up to see the face but I couldn't see anything because of my tears, with shaky hands I collected what seemed like a jacket and wrapped myself in it

"thanks"

I managed to silently mutter. I left the scene making a swaying motion as if I was about to fall down

**************

Since that day , I realized a painful truth,I was in a home where I was hated and unwanted both mother and daughter despised me ,my only family was God.Ever since my parents died I was made to live with my aunt.So since then God has been my only family and trust,though at a very young age I had learnt to know I was alone in this world and God was my only friend.

I had thought about how I'd go to school and face everyone the next day but fortunately and unfortunately Aunt told me I had to stop going to school because the expenses were too much ,which I knew was an obvious lie.

It was because of my creepy cousin Klara,the creepy girl has always hated me for some odd reason right from when we were little,She was more popular,more beautiful,why would she still hate me so much after I tried my very best to please her.

she'd always hit and slap me at the slightest opportunity..yeah life was unbearable with them.....but I had nobody else...I had no other home....so Ellie will just have to get used to this .....I told myself

Besides what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

but what if it does?....
