New Tomboy

Kaiden

Danny's POV

It has been a month since I started dating and everything has been going really well. Its Thursday and we have a game tomorrow. Right now its lunch time and im going to get water when I feel my phone vibrate.

It was a message:

Im back. Miss me?? 
            -Take a guess;)

I froze. I was frozen with fear. I didnt have to guess, I already knew who it was.

Kaiden Dominquez.

Kaiden was my bully through out middle school. He would call me names,punch me, kick me,etc. Eventually it got really bad i stopped eating, started cutting, and i became really depressed. I hated everything. I am still really self concious because of him. I still cant look at myself in the mirror without being disgusted.Time to time I wish I wasnt here, but since we moved here I havent thought about him.

I wasnt on guard anymore but knowing hes back makes me think back to the time Ive been here. Ive gained alot of weight. To doctors and everyone else im underweight but to kaiden and myself I am the fatest peron ever. No matter what I weigh I will always hate myself. I used to be anorexic, now that I think of the weight Ive gained makes me sick.

I dont cut anymore. I am almost 4 months clean,but thinking of kaiden again makes me want to hide in my bathroom and cut till I cant feel anything. I still have suicidal thoughts but not as much as I used to. Now it just from time to time.

I guessed I stood there for along time because when I came to Drew was trying to get my attention.

"DANNY!!" I heard Drew yell while shaking me with my phone in one hand,"Whats wrong your paler than usual? And whos this person texting you??"

"Nobody just an old friend." I barely whispered.

"Are you okay??" He asked.

"Yea im fine nothing to worry about." I said giving him a sad smile.

"No ur not u look sad and scared whats wrong?" He asked pulling me into a hug.

I really wanted to tell him whats wrong but I cant because I dont want him to be part of it. Last time I told someone about Kaiden everything got worse and no one did anything about it.

Of course no did anything, who would believe me. Kaiden was the most athletic, smartest guy in school. He was everyones favorite.

Thankfully Kaiden moved the summer before 9th grade.  The bullying stopped when he left but I was still depressed.

I was woken from my mindless daze by Drew shaking me and calling my name.

"Hey come on we should get going its time for class." I just responed with a nod as we headed to class.  He said the one thing i wanted to avoid. "This isnt over. Were goin to talk about this later."

I didnt talk much the rest of the day. Right now im waiting for the final bell to ring. I was ready to run out the door so I wouldnt get questioned by Drew.

When the bell rang I tried to make a run for it but i didnt make it far because Drew had gotten a hold of my arm.

"Danny is everything is ok??Your quieter than usual and why are you avoiding me?" He asked releasing his grip on my arm.

"Im not avoiding you." I muttered quietly but loud enough so he could hear me.

"Why dont you tell me whats wrong? Im really worried about you." He said as we started walking to get our boards. I stayed quiet I didnt want to talk right now, but I knew I was upsetting Drew about not telling him but I didnt think it would be a good idea. When he finds out who I really am he might not accept me anymore. "Please just tell me i want to help you. Come on danny you need to trust me."

"Drew trust me I do trust you more than anyone but theres nothing wrong." I said avoiding eye contact.

"Danny I know theres something wrong your always happy you never seem down but im not really sure, but you gotta talk to me."  He explained as we were walking out of school.

Before I could responed I saw the one person I never wanted to see ever again.

There he was. Kaiden. Watching me with a smirk on his face. 

I was frozen in place i couldnt move. All of a sudden Drew let go my hand and walked towards Kaiden. I didnt know what he was doing but then I see Drew embrace Kaiden in a hug, but Kaiden never stopped smirking at me his eyes never left me.

Once again i fell under his control.
