Bella's POV

TW: Bullying

 I had found out about my illness a week ago. Now, its once again Tuesday. Tomorrow is the audition, and the next day is my injection. I'm back at school today, for the first time in weeks. I try to blend in, but for some reason, everyone's staring at me. I mean, I'm literally the daughter of a broadway star but still. I've always been invisible. I've always gone unnoticed. I've never really mattered. So why is everyone staring at me? I walk to my locker, my head held low. As I walk by, I hear people giggling. "What's going on?" I ask Emily, confused.

 She looks at me sadly. "You didn't see?"

"Didn't see what?" 

 "Check Instagram." She instructs me. I open Instagram and see that everyone's been posting about me. Olivia posted a picture of me crying! I scrolled through. 

 "Are you ok?" Emily asks me. I ignore her, trying not to cry. I open my DMs. 

 Great. Everyone hates me and thinks I'm a crybaby. I feel the tears start to prick my eyes. I can't cry here. I open the door and start running. "Bella!" I hear Emily call after me. I ignore her and keep running. I eventually reach a Starbucks. I walk in and sit down at a table. I look down at my book, so no one will see my tear stained face. I'm such a failure. I feel someone tap me on the shoulder but I don't turn around.

 "Aren't you supposed to be in school?" They say. They sound so familiar. Weird. "Whatever." the person says, "It's not my business anyway. I'm getting cheese fries." Wait.... I turn around. 

 "Taylor?" 

 "Bella honey, why aren't you in school?" She asks. I start to cry, and I show her my phone. She picks me up and brings me back to the August Wilson, anger in her eyes. She pushes open the door and runs over to Barrett. "Barrett I have your kid!"

 "Oh thank goodness." Barrett says, her eyes bloodshot. "The school called. I was worried sick!" 

 I start to sob. "I'm so sorry mom! I-I'm sorry!" 

 "Bella, show Barrett Instagram." Taylor instructs. I do as she says. 
 

 "What the hell?!" Barrett screams. "I'm gonna go call your school. The show doesn't start for an hour. Taylor, watch Bella."

Taylor sits me in her lap and sings to me until I fell asleep. 

AN: Sorry for not updating for a bit. I will try to update more. Also for anyone who wants to know how I made the posts and DMs (I don't have Instagram), here's the website. https://zeoob.com/generate-instagram-chat/  Have a great day! -Lila
