Missy POV.

My heart felt so heavy, in everything I did. It had been two weeks since I found out, I would never see my best friends face ever again, I would never hear her laugh, see her smile. Nothing, she was just gone. Just like that.

There's a knock on my bedroom door, my sister walks in and gives me a sad smile.

"Mum says you need to go to school today, you've had too much time off"

I scoff, "I just lost my best friend, you could all at least try and act like you give a shit!"

"We do Missy; you know we do"

I shake my head, "NO! NO ONE CARES, I HAVE JUST LOST MY BEST FRIEND. AND YOU ALL DON'T CARE!" I screech, as tears fill my eyes.

"Missy, just get ready for school" She says before leaving my room.

I let a small sob escape my lips.

I stand up, and grab a pile of clothes from the side of my bed. I slipped them on, it was just a pair of plain black leggings and a grey large jumper.

I was broken on the inside, so I wasn't going to pretend everything was okay on the outside.

I put my long curly hair, into a messy ponytail. I don't bother with make-up like I usually did. I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked so unlike myself.

Sighing loudly, I grab my school bag and leave my house.

My phone buzzes.

Dread fills me up.

PRIVATE: Little birdy tells me, that you're finally coming back to school. Can't wait! You might even have a few surprises waiting for you!

Lots of love S.

My body panics slightly, what did they mean surprises?

"Missy! Come on you're going to be late!" Mum snaps, as she gently pushes me into her car.

"I-I can drive you know" I say stiffly, as I stare out the window.

"Yes you can but that doesn't mean you'll drive yourself too school"

I sigh loudly, as she begins to reverse. The entire drive was like how everything seems lately, a big painful blur.

"I know you're upset, but try and get over it sweetie" Mum says as she kisses my head.

I shake my head, before storming out of the car. I could feel people's eyes on me, I wasn't in my usual cheer uniform, I had no make-up on, I had no massive grin on my face.

"Missy" A voice says causing my head to whip around.

I see Josh stood there, with a concerned expression on his face.

"I'm fine" I lie, placing a false smile on my face.

Before he can argue that I'm not, I quickly walk away.

Come on Missy, just make it too your locker. Just too your locker.

I finally, make it my locker, I put in my combination and open it.

Shock runs through me, as I see the word 'SLUT' written all inside my locker. I whip my head around, and search for someone who had a dark red lipstick, in their hand.

Tears burn my eyes, when I re-examine my locker and I see a picture of me stood in my underwear on a polaroid.

How did someone find this?!

I had only sent this photo to one person, my ex-boyfriend and he didn't even come to this school anymore.

I quickly grab and it and rip it furiously.

No-one could find this; my good reputation would be tarnished.

I could hear loud laughter behind me, causing me to whip my head around in curiosity. My entire body goes into shock.

Tears roll down my face, as I feel my heart beating that fast, I thought I was going to have a heart-attack. My breathing becomes uneasy.

There on the student notice board, is the picture of me on the polaroid blown up.

"HERE SHE IS!" A voice shouts, as people begin to point at me.

Laughing fills, my ears, I could vaguely hear some people mutter comments about me.

How could someone do this to me?!

My phone buzzes, for the second time that morning.

PRIVATE: I hope you liked my little treats! Don't worry, this is only a sample taste.

Lots of love, S.

I shake my head at my phone, before anger bubbles inside of me.

"SHUT UP!" I screech before my anger takes over and I throw my phone at the wall across from me.

Causing the entire hallway, to go silent.

Everyone stares at me strangely.

"WHAT?!" I hiss loudly at them all.

"SHE'S FUCKING CRAZY!" Someone calls out, causing people to laugh.

Tears burn in my eyes, before I quickly run down the corridor, I needed to get away from everyone, everything. I needed it all go away.

Relief washes over me, when I see Boy's locker room, I knew for a fact no-one would come into here on a Wednesday, due to it being a half-day, no gym classes were held today.

I look around before going inside, I sit down on the benches before sobbing loudly.

Who was 'S'?

Why did they hate me so much?

Why did Sarah have to die?

More loud sobs escape my lips, I couldn't help but cry. Everything was too much.

The locker room door opens, I look up and see Josh stood there his face had an un-readable expression.

"What could you possibly want?" I ask bitterly, "Because seriously, I'm not in the mood"

"I just wanted to see if you were okay"

An un-humerous laugh escapes my lips, "Do I look okay? My best friend is dead, DEAD! And someone really hates me, and I just want it all to end, I just want everything to STOP!"

Josh sighs before kneeling down in-front of me and holding my hands gently, "I wish, I had the words that could just fix you but I don't"

"I wish you had them too"

"And, I'm going to find out who did this and Missy I swear to god I'll do something about it!"

I sigh loudly before leaning back, "You know, I never thought I'd have to go through something like this again. Not after my dad died, you know I decided after he died that I'd become a good person and make him proud"

"Missy, I promise you he's proud. How couldn't he be?"

"Really?" I ask my voice, cracking slightly.

Josh nods as he climbs up and sits down next to me, "Of course! Missy you are without a doubt, one of the best people I've ever known"

I smile slightly, "Thanks Josh"

I need to find out how got that picture, I need to the original owner first though.

"I need to go see Maya, I'll catch you later" Josh says kissing the top of my head before leaving.

I know, exactly where I needed to go. And luckily It was only a five minuet walk.

I leave the locker room, and discretely make my way out of the building, the gates where still open due to the fact that school hadn't even started yet. I make my way out as quick as possible.

I walk towards, the apartment building I needed to find.

Butterflies swarm, in my stomach as I finally reach it. With slight hesitation, I walk inside and begin climbing up the stairs until I reach the third floor, I search for the apartment number '13 C'.

My nose crinkles as I smell weed, disappointment fills my heart. I knock on the door anyway.

My heart skips a beat, as I see a familiar dark blonde haired beauty.

"M-Missy?" My ex-boyfriend, asks.

I smile slightly, "Hey Luke"

"A-Are you okay?"

I shake my head, as sobs escape my lips, I feel familiar arms wrap around me tightly.

"I read about Sarah online, I'm so sorry!" He mumbles, his voice cracking slightly.

I nod as I bury, my face further into his chest, I could feel him kiss my head which fills my heart with hope.

I pull away wiping my cheeks, "A-Actually, I needed t-to ask you something"

Lucas nods, and gestures for me to step inside. I follow him into the mess which is his apartment.

"What's up Miss?"

My heart swells, at the nickname he gives me.

"W-What did you do with that Polaroid I gave you, on our anniversary?" I ask anxiously.

Lucas rubs behind his neck, "The day we broke up, I threw all your stuff in a dumpster. Sorry "

I shake my head, "Don't be sorry, I was a bitch"

"And I was an ass, for not realising you only wanted the best for me"

"I still do, and it still kills me that you're still living here and you haven't gone home"

Lucas shakes his head, "H-he hates me Miss, he'll never let me go home"

"Of course he will! Luke, he's your dad. And he loves and misses you"

"He does?"

"Don't be stupid, he came up to me in Walmart the other day and asked if you were okay" I say truthfully.

"He did?" Lucas asks his voice full of hope.

I nod, I grab his hand, "Come on, let's go see him"

"You always bring out the best in me" Lucas says as we trail out his apartment.

Something triggers inside me, as I feel a familiar warmth.

Flashback- 6 months ago.

I smile slightly, as I feel Lucas stroke my hair as we cuddle up on my sofa, the rain pouring heavily.

"Missy, you're so beautiful, you know that right? I never get tired of looking at you" He mumbles.

My heart combusts, as my mood increases with happiness and love just fills me up.

"And you Luke are gorgeous, I could just stare at you for hours, I know that's creepy as fuck" I say laughing slightly, "And you're so funny, there's never been a day when I haven't full on cried with laughter when I've been with you. I hope you know I love you so deeply, and that I'm so lucky to love you!"

A familiar warmth fills inside me, as I feel lips on mine.

Flashback-ends.

Without releasing, I notice that we are stood in-front of his car.

"You getting in?" He asks softly.

I nod, smiling brightly, "Of course I am"
