EMILY ROSE Once upon a time, there lived asaddened girl named Emily Rose. Emily Rose was notyour ordinary little eleven year old girl. Emily was the badgirl that everyone knew of. Her family always abused herbecause she was always playing with knives and razorstrying to cut her little brother Thomas. Thomas was threeyears old and he could barely understand what a knifewas. Emily didn’t have friends at all, she was alwaysalone and by herself. She went to a school called, SplinterHill Elementary School, and students always made fun of her and pushed her around like she was weak.One rainy day, Emily slammed thedoor opened with tears running down her face and herbody soaking wet. She was wearing black skinny jeansand a soaked black tank top with the label DC on it andworn out red converse that had mud all over them,making it seem as if they were brown converse instead of red. She slammed the door shut again and staggered tothe bathroom with her arms over her head covering herface as she walked passed her mom and down the longhallway. When she got to the bathroom she hesitated ….She opened the door and threw her back pack down nextto the sink. She looked at her face in the mirror veryconfused with what she saw. She turned the cold fauceton letting the sink fill with water… cold water. Then sheopens her drawer and sticks her hand upward reachingfor something…. What is she looking for??? As she slidesher hand back toward herself she finds a sharp knife upon

her little hand. The knife had been under her drawersince she was nine her mom always couldn’t understandwhere the knife had gone and didn’t think her daughterkept something like that... She should’ve thought again.She takes the knife and traces the lines in the palm of herhand fiercely and then a drop of blood comes tinklingdown. She drops the knife and takes her palm and facesit with her mouth and licks the blood onto her tongue.She then reaches for the knife and throws it in herdrawer. She turns the cold water off and looks in themirror again with sad and hateful eyes. She sticks herhand into the cold freezing water and watches the blooddrain from her hand into the water. She gets her toweland wipes the water and blood and drains the bloody redwater from the faucet and turns the light off. She closesthe bathroom door and walks down the long hallway andenters the kitchen where her worried mother is. Emilywalks over to the refrigerator and grabs a banana butalso cautious of her mom not finding her cut on her hand.“What happened I heard you slammed the door?”, hermother said anxiously but not worried.“IT’S SCHOOL MOM,” Emily explains to her mother. “Lookdo not talk to me with that tone young lady do youunderstand?!” her mom says frustrated.“No mom, No, today was just like any other day accept Igot picked on even more because stupid kids think andsay that I’m emo.” She explains. “And then I was walkingto my class and these sixth graders came up to me andcalled me loser and threw hard apples and my face, SEE!”

she says as she shows her mom the marks and bruisesthey gave her on her cheeks and underneath her eyes.“Well sorry but maybe you shouldn’t have been playingwith knives and trying to cut your little brother and hurtour family, if you hadn’t done that then you wouldprobably be like any other little girl with friends andstuff,’’ her mom tells her.“Well sorry that I’m not”, Emily says to her mother.Emily walks away and goes to herroom she opens the door and walks in to the smell of roses and pee wee scent. She goes to her closet andgrabs a black pair of sweats and a pink tank top. Shegoes into the bathroom again and locks the door and runscold water in the shower.After Emily gets out the shower shewalks back to her room and lies on top of the fluffy blackbed. Emily then falls into an unconscious sleep. As Emilywakes up the next morning she gets dressed and headsfor the door she looks outside and sees that it’s stillraining. It’s a Thursday. When she arrives at school shewalks to the gate and then finds people and mostlyeveryone around her looking at her like she’s crazy. Justanother original day. As the day goes by she findseverything to be ok. Nevermind, as she leaves from thegate to the sidewalk outside of school she finds herself approaching the three boys she regrets to seeeveryday….
