After wrestling with it for days, I finally worked up the courage to tell my parents what happened.
Their first response cut deeper than I expected—
"Why would they target you and not someone else?"
As if I was the problem!
Why does everyone always find a way to make it the victim's fault?
Of course, my parents still loved me—in their own way.
They stormed into school, demanding answers from my homeroom teacher.
But what happened next shattered me.
The teacher—covering for her nephew—spun the lies into something worse, feeding my parents a twisted version of the truth.
Then, in front of everyone—my classmates, my teachers—my father's hand struck my face so hard my vision blurred.
"How could we raise such a disgraceful daughter!"
My cheek burned, my ears roared with white noise.
Surrounded by stares—some pitying, some mocking, some disgusted—I drowned in humiliation, in despair.
Through the haze, I thought I saw Sophia Lowell in the crowd, her mouth forming words—maybe calling out to me.
But I couldn't hear anything.
All I knew was I had to get out.
Out of this place.
Out of this nightmare.
So I turned toward the window.
And as screams erupted behind me—
I jumped.
