There was a new bruise on Noah’s body, Anon punched him for ‘talking back.’ A tear rolled down his cheek as he rubbed his cheek. Life was hell for sure, he couldn’t wait to get out of it. He wiped his tear, making sure nobody had the satisfaction of seeing him crying, especially Anon.

It was only right after lunch so… a couple more hours left of this shitty life and then it will all be over. Noah walked to his last class for the day, another useless hour of his day. He eventually fell asleep, dreaming of a happy life. A life he’d always wanted.

“Noah, you in there?” Said a voice. Could it be a voice in his dream? No. Noah woke up to his professor nudging at his arm. “It’s past dismissal. You slept in my class again, didn’t you?” Professor Lee sighed, rubbing his temples. “I’m afraid I’ll have to call your mother, this can not be a habit.”

Noah’s eyes widened, he was wide awake now. “P-please, don’t call my mother! She’d kill me…”

“Alright then, I’m assigning you to a project. Complete this by this weekend and I won’t fail you, nor call your mother,” Professor Lee said flatly, leaving a packet on Noah’s desk before getting ready to leave. “You have five days. See you Monday.” he said before leaving.

More homework made Noah pissed, he slammed his head against his desk before putting the sheets of paper in his backpack and leaving the classroom. At least tonight was the night, he wouldn’t have to do more homework, he wouldn’t have to be abused or bullied, he’d be free.

As Noah left the classroom, his worst nightmare showed up. It was Anon, apparently he had detention. Who knows what for? Noah didn’t want to be apart of it. He tried to walk past Anon, but it was too late. Anon grabbed Noah by the arm. Noah panicked, he didn’t want to be harrassed anymore, to be hit or punched anymore, he just wanted to be left alone for fuck’s sake.

“Please. Please don’t do this… Every punch hurts, all of your harsh words hurt, but do you want to know what hurts most of all? The fact that I still love you, the fact that I still await to be held by you some day,” Noah teared up. He had just admitted the truth to Anon. He doubted that Anon would change his mind, but he rather say what he had to say before he ended his life tonight.
