      &quot;She really thinks she can break up with me? I'm the one who should have dumped her.&quot;
      &quot;Whatever man, she's a whore anyways. It's her loss.&quot;
      Did I just hear that right?
      &quot;Fuck did you say?&quot; I spun around, glaring at Lucas who was standing with Evan and Jack. I didn't hesitant before pushing Lucas against the lockers and clutching the collar of his shirt between my fist. &quot;Say that again, I dare you.&quot;
      Lucas smirked, &quot;You're little girlfriend Jazzy Snazzy is a slut.&quot;
      A grin grew on my lips. &quot;Thank you for giving me a reason to do this.&quot; I raised my fist and punched the bitch in the face at least three times before I was yanked off him and pulled back. I turned around to see John looking at me with wide eyes.
      &quot;Dude! Are you trying to get suspended again!?&quot;

      A knock on my room door interrupted my reading. I was reading 'Bloom', the book Zac had given me. He was right when he said I would like it. It was heartwarming and made me smile as I thought about my mom.
      Speak of the devil.
      Zac walked in, staring down at his shoes as he walked over to me.
      My eyebrows pulled together as I instantly noticed his knuckles that were cut up and bruised.
      I blinked, sitting up straighter. &quot;Zac... what happened? What's wrong?&quot;
      He didn't look at me as he sat down in front of me. &quot;Why didn't you tell me?&quot; His voice was soft, in a whisper and sounding hurt.
      I blinked.
      &quot;Tell you what?&quot; I had no idea what he was talking about.
      He sighed, finally looking at me. His eyes were swimming in sadness and hurt. &quot;About what Evan did.&quot;
      My heart stopped for a second. My mou

      I rampaged through the glove compartment in my car after I had driven far enough from Evan's house. I furiously was scrambling through the compartment box with tears rushing down my face, until I felt the familiar plastic tube I was looking for.
      I pulled out the vile that was filled with codeine pills that I had for a while now and had forgotten about until now. I hadn't used since that one day Bea and I got into a fight in the middle of the hallway.
      The vile practically slipped out of my hands as I tried to twist the lid off and pour some pills in my hands.
      I shut my eyes for a moment and exhaled slowly, trying to get my heart rate to settle down.
      All I wanted in this moment was that familiar buzz that got my head spinning and made my whole body feel relaxed. I was craving that high more than I ever had before.
      I sucked at coping with anything. I

      I shook his off me, fuming. &quot;I don't care.&quot;
      Lucas spit out some blood on the floor
