The Street Fighter’s Love

I’m walking home with the usual black eye and limp after another day of being jumped at school. My names Rae Lynn De’Luca and I’m 14 years old. I have jet-black straight hair, grey eyes with a ring of blue around my pupils, pale skin, and I weigh 198 pounds. I know I’m fat and that’s why I get jumped at school. Although I have bad anger issues, I can’t fight back because it will only be worse for me since there’s only one of me and multiple of them. My neighbors are shaking their heads at me as I walk by. Stupid old bats don’t even know the full story yet they judge me. Just like everyone else does. I finally get to my house and walk inside, my mom doesn’t know that I get jumped at school. She thinks I get into fights because my knuckles are always bruised though it’s not from me fight other people. I punch walls to let my anger out but if I tell her that she’ll take me back to anger management and I don’t want to go back. I don’t want to have to listen to her criticize me so before she can say anything I run upstairs into my room and lock my door. I have blood and dirt all over me so I decide to get in the shower. I’m taking my clothes off and cussing because it f*****g hurts when I accidentally hit one of my bruises. I finally get in the shower and just sit there for a second letting the water calm my aching body. After I finish showering I get out to get dressed all while avoiding the mirrors so I don’t judge myself like everyone else does. I get dressed and grab my phone and decide to text my best friend Cassidy to see if she wants to hang out. I wait for her to text back because she usually texts back within five to ten minutes but she isn’t answering so I decide to just walk over and check on her. I finally get there and just walk in since we’ve been best friends since I was eleven years old. I go upstairs to her room and walk in but when I seen her on her bed kissing my boyfriend my heart broke but at the same time I was enraged. I walk in and scream at them and they both jump apart startled from the sudden noise. After Cassidy gets over her shock she smirks evilly at me and my soon-to-be ex boyfriend snarls at me shooting up off of the bed and begins yelling at me. I punched him in the face so hard he falls on the ground and Cassidy screams. I turn to her and I say, “What. The. f**k. Cassidy!” She looks at me and laughs. SHE f*****g LAUGHS IN MY FACE! I walk over to her and punch her in the mouth and she immediately stops laughing and spits out blood. I snarl at her and cuss her out but I hear movement behind me and turn around to see Chance my soon-to-be ex boyfriend get up and walking towards me cussing me out. I smack him across the face and scream, “You f*****g cheated with my best friend! I hate you Chance!” And I kicked him in the balls he leans over and I take the chance to knee him in the face sending him to the floor. I didn’t realize Cassidy called the cops until I heard the sirens. I turn to Cassidy and ask, “How could you be so cheap to get with my boyfriend? You were supposed to be my best friend!” She grins and says in a sweet evil voice, “He didn’t really want you Rae, he used you to get closer to me and for the best friend part. I was only friends with you in hopes of being closer with your sister Grace. But she never liked me but I still tried.” She sighs and walks to Chance, helping him off of the floor. I was about to punch her in the face again when suddenly I’m grabbed by a cop and slammed to the wall as he put hand cuffs on me. The cop was taking me outside to his car where a group of people were on the side taking pictures of me and I was so annoyed that I jerked out of the cops hold and screamed cuss words at them startling them. I get in the cop car and he begins to take me home. He pulls over, turns, and asks why I did it. I look up from the ground and I say, “She was my best friend and he was my boyfriend and I just caught them together. They deserved to get hi-“ he cut me off “Nobody deserves to be hit like that.” I squint my eyes at him and say, “ I have been betrayed all my life and they knew how deep I take betrayal yet they did it anyways and I found out they were f*****g using me so I’ll be damned to sit here and listen to you try to tell me that what I did was wrong because I don’t f*****g regret it!” He sighs but doesn’t say anything else just takes me home. When we finally get back to my apartment he takes the handcuffs off of me and goes to talk to my mom. He tells her that he talked them out of pressing charges. She thanks him and as he’s leaving she pulls me into a tight hug. My mom sighs and says, “I understand why you did it but I’m still a little disappointed.” I didn’t want to hear it so I just pulled away and walked inside and went upstairs to my room and cried myself to sleep.
