The Nerd Boy Saved Me.

Chapter-1 The first day back after the summer vacation. P.O.V. of Eleanor Hemsworth.   I want the darkness to take me entirely since everything around me is dark. Every day, I see myself in darkness, yet I can't bring myself to end my life because of it. Why does it hurt so much that I couldn't commit suicide after living a wretched life for so long? Is it too much to ask that I die and put an end to this torment once and for all? I turn around and picture myself falling down the cliff, but I see his face before I can even fall. Who is the worst nightmare I've ever had? Rather of tumbling down the cliff, I was now standing in front of his hideous face. I desperately wanted to flee and hide from him, but I couldn't. It seemed as if I was stuck in one spot and couldn't move. When I saw him give me an awful grin, I wanted to crawl back. When he started approaching me, I mumbled "No, don't," and backed away. "Come here, Eleanor. I'm not going to hurt you in any way." I shook my head and started walking back. I turned around to see myself on the edge of the cliff.  I took a deep breath and turned to face him. Who was having a good time seeing me in this stage? He does it all the time. "You see, you'll never be able to get away from me. Faith is on my side." With a shake of my head, I expressed my dissatisfaction with the situation. "No," I whispered, backing away and falling down the cliff. Ending my life, putting an end to my unhappy existence as a result of my nightmare. This is the wish I've had my whole life, and my nightmares were about to come to an end, but before I could even grin for the first time in a long time, I shouted as he got a hold of me. When I awoke from yet another nightmare, I panted gloriously. My sweat-covered forehead was the first thing I touched. "Eleanor, don't be afraid. It was nothing but a nightmare " I took a deep breath and soothed myself. But what if he returns and does much more damage than before? I escaped from his cage for so long, but what if he returns and does what he had planned to do with me since I was 13 years old? I brushed my tears away with my sleeves and dashed into my adjoining bathroom. I rapidly searched the area and discovered what I was searching for. I got a grip on my razor and held it on my wrist with my trembling hands. My torment will be ended by just one slice. I closed my eyes and attempted to s***h my wrist but lacked the confidence to do it. I groaned and sank down against the wall, and I burst out crying. I had a nervous breakdown in my bathroom, like I did every day. Why couldn't I get the courage to put an end to my dreadful existence? Why couldn't I finally put a stop to my nightmare? "Are you alright in there, honey?" My aunt, Hannah Hemsworth, called out. I brushed my tears away and stood up shakily. "Yes, Aunt Hannah, everything is well with me. In a few minutes, I'll be downstairs." "Okay, be ready on time. You have school in an hour." I could hear her walking away. I approach the mirror and examine myself. I'm really pale, and I've lost a lot of weight. Under my eyes, I have black circles. Overall, I appear to be in worse shape than previously. This year, I believe I will be bullied again because of my appearance. I should be used to bullies by now, but I am not. I still feel horrible for being bullied, and no one is willing to help me deal with the matter. I don't even have any friends that might be able to help me. I let out a sigh and began brushing my teeth. I'm hoping that this year will be better than the previous one. I'd prefer to stay invisible for the entire year, but because I'm a girl, everyone loves to pick and choose when they want to bully someone, I am sure I will get the same attention as I got last year. My wish couldn't be granted for being invisible. I took a quick shower after brushing my teeth before wrapping a towel around my tiny body and another around my hairs. I quickly changed into a t-shirt and a white hoodie, which I paired with black leggings. My hair was pulled back into a ponytail and I wore white Nike sneakers. I grabbed my back bag and dashed downstairs since I was running late and didn't want to be late for my first day back after summer vacation. "Finally, you're all set. Come on, have a quick breakfast "With a shake of my head, I accepted an apple. "Aunt Hanna, I'm already late. I'm not looking forward to being late. Could you just give me a lift to the school" She gave a nod and reached for the keys on the kitchen counter. "All right, then, let's go," I tried to smile but couldn't.  Since my parents' deaths, I've forgotten how to smile. I climb into her car and fasten my seatbelts, and she quickly follows. The entire ride was spent in silence, as it should be. When we arrived at my school, I swiftly exited the car. "Bye, Aunt Hannah.  I'll see you later" She gives a kind grin. "See you later, honey, but don't forget to eat your lunch because you didn't have breakfast." I nodded and walked away. I began to sense people's gazes on me as I walked through the school building. I began to feel anxious since I knew it would never end well for me. I instantly covered my face with my hoodie and kept walking. I breathed a sigh of relief as I arrived at my locker without being stopped. I ran to my first period after getting my first period books because I was already late. I was racing to my math class when I collided with someone, causing me to tumble to the ground with my books all around me. I glance up to find a good-looking guy with a frown on his face glaring down at me. I expected him to help me get back on my feet or apologies for crashing with me, but all hope was dashed when he just walked away from the scene. He didn't even say sorry for his mistake. What exactly am I thinking? Why would a stranger help me out if I know no one cares about me? I groaned and shifted my weight to my feet, picking up my books. I studied the way he walked away, and I believe I recognized him from one of my classes. He was attractive, and with his spectacles on, he was even more attractive. The start of my first-class period was signaled by the second bell, which caught me off guard. My first day is going to be a disaster. I began sprinting towards my class and exhaled a breath of relief when I noticed that there was no lecturer present. I took my normal place in the classroom's corner. The day progressed at a quicker rate, and before I knew it, it was nearly lunchtime. After securing my belongings in my locker, I proceeded to the cafeteria, which is my least favorite part of the school. It's the spot where the majority of the students choose to pick on me anytime they want. I took a deep breath and entered the cafeteria. I can hear the whispers and accusing comments being hurled at me as soon as they discovered I was in. Some people have even started pointing their fingers at me and laughing at me. I hated coming here, but I had no choice since I was hungry. I'd rather spend my time in the library than come here if I wasn't hungry. When I grabbed my meal, I was going to take a seat in the far corner when someone put their foot in my way and that led me to fall down with my lunch for the second time in a single day. I can hear laughter echoing across the cafeteria. Tears welled up in my eyes. When I looked around, I noticed that everyone was laughing at me, which triggered a panic attack. 'I need to get out of here,' I reasoned. I took a quick glance at the exit and immediately began sprinting towards it. But before I could sprint out of the cafeteria, I connected with someone's chest, but before I could fall, he grabbed my elbow and kept me steady. He looked exactly the same as he had in the morning. With his brunette hair and ocean blue eyes, he appears more attractive from this close viewpoint. I can get caught in his ocean blue eyes at any time. He was slim and had a superb jaw, giving him the appearance of a handsome teenage boy. In addition, the spectacles on his face enhance his attractiveness. "Look at her, she's back to her slutty ways." On the other side, someone made a remark. Another voice said, "She never changes her behavior." I tried to control my tears by blinking, but it never worked. They came crashing down. I wrenched myself away from him and bolted from the café before they could further embarrass me. I went into the restroom and slid into one of the stalls. I started crying and didn't stop till I couldn't anymore. How can somebody bully someone and not feel guilty about it? I know it was nothing since I've been through way worse, but I'm in the worst mood today. Not only is this my worst first day of school, but it is also the day when both of my parents passed away. I really missed them. I wouldn't be in this situation if they were here. We were a happy family, but since they died in a plane crash, I'm not sure what happiness means anymore. They took my joy with them as well. I skipped the rest of my lessons and went to the cemetery to pay my respects to my parents. I strolled over to their graves, which were next to each other. I sat down in front of their respected tomb and laid their favorite flowers on it. "Mom, Dad," I started. "I miss you terribly. Without you, I am nothing. Why did you feel forced to abandon me in this brutal world? I often feel as if I would have died with you. It's too difficult to live here without you," I said as I kissed my fingers and laid them on their gravestones. "I'm missing you all. If you were still alive, I'm quite sure how different my life would have been" A few tears streamed down my cheeks. "I love you, Mom and Dad. Next week, I'll come see you again. Rest in peace till then" I move away from them, giving them one final glance before approaching my own hell hole.
