You stared blankly at the wall sitting in the dark with a bored look in your beautiful eyes.
You were watching your favorite anime, Tokyo Revengers eating your favorite snacks when suddenly the power went out.
You swiped out your phone from your pocket, light radiating from the phone exposing your huge eyebags and dark circles. You hadn't slept in days, you reluctantly called your mother.
"Y/N. WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU???YOU DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL. DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I WAS," she yelled at you. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING."
You knew this what she would say instead of actually asking how you've been the past year. She disappeared from your life for two years and now she was you scolding for dropping out.
"I was thinking I didn't want to do that anymore" You shot back in a snarky voice. Now you didn't even want to ask for her help anymore.
"Y/N I'M NO LONGER GOING TO BE DEALING WITH YOUR BULLSHIT. I'M GETTING MARRIED NEXY WEEK AND MY FIANCÉ DOESN'T KNOW YOU EXIST AND I WANT IT TO STAY THAT WAY."
You both went silent. You had always expected this to happen and back then you thought you would be way on your way to college. You hummed, "I hope this one last longer than your previous ones."
You hung up the phone and deleted her number. You hugged your knees to your chest as you quietly sobbed.
You weren't always like this. You used to be a lively, optimistic outgoing girl that everyone adored. Your bright sunny personality that drew people in but that changed ten months ago.
-----
It all started two years ago when there was a transfer student from Kyoto, Yuri Kiyotaka who was rumoured to be an entertainer.
Yuri became the person everyone hated because she was sleeping with their parents and breaking up families even you knew she was bound to get bullied, and it wasn't in your place to help her. You remember there was a time when her nudes were circulating the whole school and how the boys forcefully raped her while the girls would record and laugh at her and cussing at her for being a 'slut.'
A month went by and Yuri was the joke of the school, everyday she would end up with new bruises and scars across her whole body. You had once tried to approach her but your friends dragged you away warning you about her previous deeds in her old school, she was expelled for having sex with her teachers.
Yuri was plagued with dirty roomers, you felt bad for her even though you didn't participate in the bullying.
"Ramen~" you sang shoving your books in your bag a toothy grin plastered across your face. You were excited for the new restaurant opening up close by your school. You had politely turned your friends down so you go there in hopes of running into Yuno. His parents owned the restaurant and the school so you figured he'd be there. "I'm going to eat some ramen~"
The door creaked open and Yuri poked her head inside the door, she stood by the door in her soaking wet uniform and you felt guilt instantly pile up in your stomach.
"Kiyotaka-san." You called out jogging towards the front of the class stopping infront of the girl, she didn't make eye contact. You unzipped your bag and handed her your gym uniform. Yuri accepted the uniform but kept her gaze low. "Thanks for the help."
You could see how skinny she was and you wondered if she was eating alright because people kept on stealing her money or food. You thought it was pretty low because how broke does a person have to be to steal lunch money.
"I was planning to go out for ramen at a nearby place and there is no one to go with."
Yuri looked at you quizzically, "ask your friends or something," she replied and you could sense the anger in her voice.
You threw your arm around the girl who only flinched at the sudden contact. "They all went home and you're the only one left wanna come?" Yuri looked up to face you for the first and you gave her the most cheerful smile you had.
She silently nodded. Ever since that day you two had been hanging out, you learnt that Yuri wasn't as bad as people painted her out to be. She was chill and easy to get along with so you didn't understand how people could possibly hate her.
You even found yourself telling her about your crush on the schools heart throb Yuno. She didn't support it considering the fact that Yuno was an asswhole to everyone and treated everyone like shit but she always listened to your fantasies about him.
You told her the reason you like him was because you had once seen him playing with his little sisters, the whole scene made him look human in your eyes and ever since that day your feelings for him grew stronger.
At first you only liked seeing him pass by the hallways but then you started attending his basketball matches and boy was he talented. You always made sure to cheer loudest for your school team and once he smiled at you and that made you blush.
You wished you could throw him in the back of your van and kidnap him not in the bad type of way but you wouldn't do that because it's "illegal'
Yuri made you promise not to tell anyone about your friendship in exchange for keeping your crush on Yuno a secret. You knew she meant well but you didn't care about what people would say about you two being friends. She threatened to end your relationship the moment you exposed your friendship. You found it sweet that she was protecting you but it bothered you that you couldn't even hang out publicly.
You had tried to convince her to out a couple of times and she would reject almost immediately saying you should hang out at her place or yours.
Four months later you got tired of it when you saw her sitting alone, eating fried rice. She didn't dare look up at anyone in fear of being bullied or noticed. You got up from where you were seating and dragged your chair all the way from the front to her seat and placed your bento on her desk. You sat down earning shocked looks from everyone including Yuri.
"Did you see the new anime that just came out?" You asked mindlessly taking a bite out of your onigiri. You looked around to see the stares you were getting and scratched the back of your neck." Do you guys not watch anime?"
In a matter of seconds your whole class gathered around discussing the new anime that had recently came out and they were being so friendly to Yuri.
The rest of the school year went smoothly, Yuri had quit her job as an entertainer and got a job at the ramen restaurant you had went to and the bullying reduced because there were still a few people that would shame or blackmail her, but you always had her back and told them off.
The problem began on your last year of high school. The year you had decided to put all your focus on your studies.
At first you thought you were imagining it, but your friends started hanging out more with Yuri instead of you and it seemed like Yuri was the centre of attention, it didn't bother you, but it hurt knowing that people preferred her over you.
Your friends all started making excuses to not hang out with you and Yuri was also doing the same. They seemed to all be avoiding you and you brought it up to Yuri but she dismissed you saying that not everything was about you. You knew it was true but it still hurt hearing that from your best friend.
You were sweating bullets after an intense P.E lesson and you were ready to take a shower but you got distracted by a beautiful butterfly. Without any other thoughts you chased the butterfly trying to catch it in your hands and you heard your name being mentioned in the girls locker room.
"Argh y/n is so annoying doesn't she get the hint." Your eyes widened in shock, you hid behind the locker room to listen in on what they were saying.
"She's acts so innocent. It's annoying like we know deep down you're a whore so why you acting like you're better."
"Like grow up everyone has sex it's not a big deal"
"Her innocent act isn't even cute to begin with I wonder why I ever liked her in the first place."
You stood there listening to them throw dirt on your name. You didn't want to do or what to think because you had never been in that situation before. Were you supposed barge in there and confront them.
Instead you went home. That night you cried so much that your eyes were still swore the next morning and you missed school the whole week unable to face your so called-friends who had berated you behind your back.
The following week you had returned to school. Everyone pretended you didn't exist and you did the same even with Yuri, you didn't know why you were angry at her but you certainly didn't want to talk to her and she got the message. A month went on with you ignoring everyone around you. You ate alone. You sat alone. You didn't talk to anyone, you felt lonely.
You didn't want to talk to people who belittled you or made you feel like you weren't important.
You were one day approached by Yuno.
"Y/N" he called out your name and it had been so long since someone said your name that you forgot to reply. "Are you deaf?"
You shook your head." No." You noticed the whole school surrounding the two of you a thick tension growing in the air. You furrowed your eyebrows, "so is everything alright?"
The young man grinned not in cute warm way but in a weird scary way that managed to creep even you out. "From now you're my slave."
You didn't comprehend what was going on so you nodded your head and people erupted into cheers as if Yuno had done something great.
Things got worse after that. You would always find worms in your lunch box or receive death threats in your desk. You started failing classes because someone always messed with your homework or test sheets and teacher's knew what was happening and did nothing. After school they would gang up on you and beat you up.
Yuno was much worse. He went around the school parading you like some kind of trophy in a leash. He made you walk on all fours the whole day no matter how much you complained about your knees hurting. He forced you to be his training partner and all he did was use as a punching bag and you would end up with a new scar on your body everyday. Your once clear skin was now battered and bruised.
You hated him. You hated it. You hated them. Everyone was so annoying.
You unknowingly started changing your once bright eyes that were filled with warmth were now flooded hatred. The warm aura had disappeared and turned into a cold chilling one. You killed y/n.
You confronted Yuno infront of the school. "YUNO I'M DONE BEING YOUR PUNCHING BAG."
He looked at you angrily cocking up an eyebrow. He closed the space between him and yourself. "What?" he growled trying to intimidate you.
You repeated your sentence much louder this time. "I WON'T BOW DOWN TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE IN THIS FUCKING SCHOOL."
Your statement seemed to piss him off because connected his fist with your nose causing you to stumble back. You put your hand over your bleeding nose it was painful as fuck but it wasn't anything you weren't used to. You looked him dead in the eye and shouted "I WON'T SUBMIT TO YOU."
After nine minutes of him tossing and kicking around he stopped realizing you were going to keep getting up no matter how many times he hit you.
You stumbled up to your feet, grinning at like a maniac, blood pouring down from your head that was tinted by the scarlet red liquid. You were clutching onto your right hand that he had broken, it was all purple and blotchy. Your nose was also bleeding and had bruises all over your face.
He walked past you letting out a tutt sound, the whole school followed behind him leaving you dismantled both physically and mentally. They all went to their classes like nothing had happened and no one even dared to take you to the infirmary.
You knees buckled down your weight causing you to lose control of your balance and falling onto the floor a satisfied grin plastered on your face. You had won.
"Y/N." You glanced up to see Yuri looking at you with pity. "You look pathetic," she cackled wiping tears from corners of eyes and you could only watch in horror.
She rammed her foot onto your face, blood spat out of your mouth covering the young girl. "You have no ideas how long I've waited for this."
You rolled around in pain. "Remember my first month here. You ignored me completely. And then one day you befriended me just so you could feel good about yourself."
You knew you should have stayed quiet but you couldn't it. "Sorry but I really don't give a crap about your backstory," you retorted back. You earned another kick to the stomach.
"I didn't ask you." Yuri growled. "The good innocent y/n befriended me so she could look good infront of everyone. It was to be expected of you. I hated how after everyone knew you were my friend that they started acting like all's well. Like me getting bullied never happened. No one even apologized. It angered me. I wanted someone to feel the way I felt. "
"So you chose me. The only person that actually cared about you."
Yuri planted her foot on your face. "Yes you. I turned everyone against you and fucked your life up to make you understand how I felt." She pulled out her phone and called an ambulance.
"Hurry my friend fell down the stairs we're at Sakura high." She cried into the phone before hanging up and turning to you. Your eyes were started to get hazy by the minute you were going to lose conscience in a matter of seconds.
You weakly laughed recalling the first time you went with Yuri to the ramen restaurant where the two o you had a lot of fun. "If I had known you had turned to be such a bitch I would have never talked to you," you spat before you passed out.
No one visited you in your short time in the hospital beside police officers who interrogated you on what happened. You told them everything that happened. You weren't really surprised considering how no one cared about whether you were alive or not. It was a sad fact.
You were one day watching TV to see the news about your Yuno getting arrested for sexual and physically abusing a teenage girl. You were happy.
The week you were released from the hospital you dropped out of school and moved out of Tokyo to Nagoya. You didn't do much besides isolated yourself from humanity.
All your day's were spent watching anime while eating your favorite foods and going to the gym.
-----
You were pulled out your thoughts from the sound of running water, you were a bit spooked because you lived alone. You groggily got up from your seat and made your way to the kitchen, switching on the light on your phone.
The light shined on the open faucet in the kitchen and you quickly made your way around the counter and closed it.
"Huh?"
Just as you were about to turn around you felt a presence from behind you and before you could react you were hit with something hard and firm on your head.
You instantly dropped to your back, your head was ringing and heavy from the pain. Blood pulled under your head as you squinted your eyes to look at the person who was about to kill you.
"Yu....n...o" You said weakly as your eyes felt heavy.
The person you used to love stepped out from the shadows looming over your half-dead corpse, a sinister look on his face as he watched you loose consciousness.
He hopped on your stomach, lifting up his crowbar feeling too excited to kill you. He had been waiting for this day ever since the day you had disappeared before sending him to jail.
He repeatedly struck your head, each time your crimson red blood sputtered, there was this dark twisted look on his face making him appear more mentally disabled than he already did.
Your skull was bashed in and the sight was disturbing because you mouth hung open but all your teeth were knocked out. There were bits of your brain splashed across the walls and floors accompanied by your red crimson blood.
There was blood everywhere. Yuno stopped after his 30th strike and pulled out a pistol from his back, aiming it at his head.
"We could've ended up together if you hadn't ran away y/n" he snarled, tears streaming down his face. "I'll now be joining you my love."
He shot himself.
