Throwing Stones at Glass Houses
Chapter 2
My school day was great until the very end. "Barakat," I heard a painfully familiar voice ring out. It was Alex. Alex Gaskarth has been my worst enemy since as long as i could remember. He never had anything nice to say to me. I user to have friends and be popular until him and his buddies started picking on me. No matter what I do he finds a way to make me more and more depressed than I already am. I continued getting everything I needed in order to head home, pretending like I hadn't heard him. I heard him chuckle, "Don't you hear me calling you?" He whispered the words in my ear so gently and harsh it send a chill of fear through my body. I turned around to face him, closing my locker, "Leave me alone." I tried to move around him but he only pushed me back into my locker, "Where do you think you're going?" I felt trapped. I felt like my next move could be my last, "Let me go Alex," I said stumbling over my words. The hallway was basically empty by now I knew Jack was waiting for me in the parking lot. "Alex, just please let me go," I begged trying not to cry. "Stella," I heard Jack's voice call from not far away. I sighed in relief. Alex stepped back from me a bit and stood there waiting for Jack to come. "Stella, there you are." He turned and saw Alex standing near me smirking. "Get away from her," Jack said pulling me into him. "You have no control over who you're sister comes in contact with, so mind your own business," Alex said standing up to Jack. "She doesn't want you near her, " Jack said pushing him back. "This isn't worth my time and energy. She's not even worth it. You're nothing Stella, you hear me!? You're a worthless nothing," Alex said walking down the hallway away from us with clenched fists. That's when it hit me. The tears slowly rolled down my cheeks. "Stella, he's lying," Jack said. I looked up at Jack beginning to feel my temper rise. "No, Jack he's not. I am nothing. I'm nothing but a space filler. I don't matter, I don't have a purpose, I am nothing," I screamed at him. "Stella," Jack said speechlessly. I turned around running down the hallway towards my house.
So I originally found this on Mibba, but came over to this site once I saw it wasn't finished on there (and seeing you said you had a profile on here in an author's note), to see if you maybe finished it on here...
You didn't, which is a bummer. :( But you did get one more update up on here in comparison to Mibba, so that's something.
I really like what you have of this story, and bummed that you didn't continue/finish it. Especially after reading this last update; I had a feeling what all was between her and Vic was kind of rigged, but wasn't sure. Now... :O
I'm just wondering why Alex hates her so much. I mean, at first I thought it was because he liked her, so he teased her, but then he just started getting awfully harsh and then like almost took advantage of her... like WTF. I also can't believe Jack would be friends with him after seeing him hit his sister, just because he seemed "alright"... that was a bit weird.
But I think you're a really great writer, other than those missing factors. Some of those you were probably leading into explaining more and just didn't get to, which is really unfortunate.
If you ever find yourself wanting to write for this story again, I will be here to read. I also subscribed to it on Mibba too, although this seems to be the most up-to-date version. But regardless of which platform you post on, I will read. :) I think it's a really intriguing plot line and I would love to see how it all ends.
Hoping this comment will maybe inspire you to continue. If not, just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed this and just wanted to show you that people like me are still stumbling across your story. :)
