Six

Time: Unknown.

Today I received two acceptance letters and one rejection letter. My mother was ecstatic (and relieved) to hear of my acceptances. When I revealed the rejection, it was the complete opposite.

I suffocated from the criticisms. 

"Why are you so stupid?"

"Why didn't you work harder?"

"Do you even care about how much we've done for you? And this is how you repay us?"

"I don't deserve having such a stupid daughter."

"No school would ever want a daughter like you anyway."

...

I didn't fight back. I never do. I walked into my room closing the door behind me and hoped my pillow would drown my painful screams. //

I don't want to feel like this anymore. I don't want to feel so pathetic and empty. I wish I had someone to comfort me. I wish I had someone to cover my ears for me so that I didn't have to let my mother's words affect me so much. 

I want to leave. I need to leave. Someone please save me before I try and save myself in the only way I know how. //

Please let me disappear. //
