I stared at my reflection for what seemed like hours. Examining every detail on my face from my dark eye bags to my chapped lips. I'm too tired for this. I dug through my pocket and found a half empty tub of vaseline and slapped it onto my lips. I heard the bathroom door click open and close. I looked around the corner to check who it was. It was a tall person that looked very disheveled, their hair was frizzy, torn and dirty clothes that cling onto their body desperately.

"Excuse me, are you alright?" I asked gently. The person turned around to face me. My blood ran cold, legs stiffened into place.

"It's been a while Eleena." They said lifelessly.

"Auberon? I've been texting and calling where have you been?" I cleared my throat, masking the fear I felt in that very moment.

"You know just around." He laughed. Auberon began making his way towards me. Something was off about it, something dangerous. I walked backwards to put some distance between us.

"What's wrong Eleena? Come give me a kiss princesa." He licked his lips hungrily. My body trembled in disgust from that request. The light shone onto his face revealing his abnormally enlarged pupils.

"You're high Auberon, you have to go." I said firmly. I stopped in my tracks and stared directly into his eyes.

"Aw but I missed you my angel." His hand roughly pulled me into a tight embrace, i tried wriggling my way out but he was too strong.

"Please let me go Auberon, I'm late for my lesson." I pleaded.

"Let's have some fun shall we?" Auberon pushed me against the wall and pinned my wrists either side of me. My head hit the wall hard causing me double vision and an insane head ache.

"Auberon stop, I don't want to do this." Tears ran down my face, I couldn't get out of his hard grasp. My skin started to sting as he began placing his venomous kisses down my neck.

"Shut the fuck up slut." He slapped my face hard, creating a big red hand print on the side.

"Please I won't tell anyone what happened, just let me go." I screamed and begged for him to stop.

"I SAID SHUT THE FUCK UP, FUCKING WHORE." I braced for impact as Auberon raised his hand to slap me again.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING." A voice screeched from behind. A crowd of students and teachers surrounded the door of the bathroom. Mr Devenish and few other teachers tackled Auberon onto the ground, pinning his hands behind his back.

"YOU THINK YOU'RE SO SMART ELEENA, I'LL GET YOU SOON." Auberon's laughter sent chills down my spine.

"It's going to be okay Ele, you don't need to talk, come with me." Acacia took my arm and guided me towards the exit. My vision started to blur and my knees gave way.

"ELEENA? ELEENA ARE YOU OKAY? SOMEBODY HELP!" Acacia screamed. The last thing I remember is my body hitting the ground and everything going black.

I peeled my eyes open and looked around. The strong scent of hand sanitiser hit my nose.

"Eleena oh my god, GO GET THE DOCTOR!" Maria said. I tried sitting up but my weak muscles betrayed me.

"Dont try getting up now my love, you need rest." She said, running her fingers through my hair.

"What happened?" I said in a small voice. The doctor arrived and began checking my vitals.

"Okay Miss Delà Cruz, you fainted from shock and fatigue, we'll keep you here overnight to monitor your condition and you should be discharged tomorrow." Doctor Torres reassured me.

The door opened and I saw Acacia standing there with 2 police officers behind her.

"Hello Eleena, we're here to ask questions regarding Auberon Sinclair." And after so long, I broke down. I confessed everything to them, from the abuse to the drugs. For the first time ever, I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders.

I didn't feel like eating much after the police had left. I stared at the mini tv in the corner of the room, I've had Tom and Jerry on repeat since I've woken up. A faint knock landed on the door.

"Come in." I said sluggishly, I adjusted my pillow and sat upright to see who it was.
