Chapter 1: Love Off A Blade
??? POV:
I never had a chance to be soft. I learnt to always bloody knuckles and shards of glass. I wanted people to be afraid of hurting me.
Because way back then, jeers and laughter would ring through the air as those pip-squeaks who called themselves strong tossed me around and pushed me to the ground again and again. Sure it hurt, but I could take it. And that wasn't even the worst part.
Some people asked if I was ok, and a glimmer of hope would appear within me. I thought that finally -- maybe I had found someone who actually cared about me. But only now I realised how foolish I was.
Because every hand that reached out to pull me back up, would only shove me down deeper into the black hole the world created for me. And when the sadness hit me, it felt like I had lost me breath, I was drowning from within.
Maybe those kids were right. Maybe no one did love me. Maybe not a single person in this world would ever care about me. Dad left because of me, and Mom knows it. Now she doesn't love me anymore for what I've done.To her, her child's not here anymore. I am just a shadow, a person existing just for the sake of existing.
And if my family didn't even care about me, who else would?
She did.
When all had been said and done, when all those words and actions had sliced wounds so deep they would never heal. She had been the guiding light I longed for in the dark. She had been the person who reached out their hand, and actually took mine to pull me back up. She had been the kind voice I needed to hear all this time.
She had been the only one who cared about me in a long time. Even if it was for just a little while.
I felt alive again. I felt like myself again. I remembered that the people who bullied and neglected me didn't matter. And even after we moved to Hilketa, I never forgot her. And I never will.
When Dad first left, before Mom grew numb towards me, she told me that I wouldn't be getting a new Dad. That it would just be us two for a long time.
"Why?" My six-year-old self asked. "Why would you not want to fall in love again?"
"Because my dear," Mom replied. "I don't want my happiness to depend on whether a person loves me back or not. I don't want to stay awake at night wondering if they will leave. I don't want my feelings to be crushed when they eventually do."
She kneeled down to my level and looked me dead in the eye.
"Everyone is not who they seem. I learnt this lesson way too late, and I rather you not make the same mistake I did. Never fall for another person, because life isn't a fairytale. And true love, doesn't exist."
At that time, I took her words to heart. But now, I realised how wrong she was. A selfish, small-minded fool like her didn't even begin to comprehend what love really was.
Because true love did exist. If I had found mine, I believed that anyone could. I want my love. And I will get what I want.
Because when you're not fed love on a silver spoon, you learn to lick it off knives.

Katherine Sanda, one of the most popular girls in school and one of the most feared.
She was almost like Gretchen Weiners from mean girls but had a hint of Jenna Rollen from bmc too. She knew everyone's secrets.
Now she of course had a little group. It was with her sisters, Divina and and Serena Sanda.
Everyone knew not to mess with them, well except for one little idiotic soul who decided that badmouthing the Sanda sisters was a good idea.
Katherine leaned against a locker, scrolling through her phone. She laughed as she saw a particularly embarrassing video of someone on twitter and shared it with the cheerleader she was hanging out with at the moment.
In the corner of her eye she spotted somebody. It was the guy who talked crap about her and her sisters. She walked up to him and grabbed him by the collar.
"So I heard you've been talking crap about my sisters." She said menacingly as she pushed him to the ground. The students around them had now locked their eyes on the scene.
"Yes, I was. What are you going to do about it? Call your dumb sisters?" the guy said.
He expected a reaction. Not this one though.
Katherine grinned as she scrolled through her phone and tapped on a video. She put the volume on max so that everyone could see. The surrounding students laughed at the sight.
The video was about him and his embarrassing secrets. He scrambled to grab the phone out of the popular girl's hand but failed. He decided to run away but tripped in the process which made the crowd laugh even harder.
"CONSIDER THIS AS A WARNING TO EVERYONE WHO DECIDES TO BADMOUTH MY SISTERS!" She screamed as she gave the guy the finger as he was running away.
The bell finally rang. It was now lunch time.
"Welp! Time to see my sisters!" she then happily prance to the lunch room.
"Who was that? And who was she talking about?" a new boy asked. "That was Katherine Sanda, one of the most popular girls here. Her sisters are Divina and Serena." the girl showing him around explained.
"She's related to Divina? They look nothing alike." "Well Divina is adopted, Katherine and Serena are twins." "Oh, that makes sense."
