Chapter 1: Before MCR

(Jacquie’s POV):
What she fucken deserved it” I said
“I’m sorry Jacquie but you have been suspended way too many times I have no choice but to expel you from this school” said Mr Thomas “ plus punching a girl in the face because she accidentally knocked your stuff over isn’t the right thing to do”

“SHE DIDN’T DO IT BY ACCIDENT SHE DID IT ON PURPOSE” I yelled

There was a knock on the door and we both turned to see Miss Chambers the receptionist with my mum.

“Here’s Ms Valkyrie” She said

My mum had a very angry look on her face she hated it when I got in trouble.“Jacquie, Why must you be so violent to other kids” she said in a calm yet angry voice.

“It wasn’t my fault this girl has been teasing me and tormenting me for ages and this shit school hasn’t helped me at all” I replied “All the schools I’ve been to I have been the outcast and yes I know I always will be but I would really like it if people would stop teasing me and just let me have a couple of friends. I tried being normal and we all know what happened after that I nearly had a fucken break down”

“STOP BEING A DRAMA QUEEN” my mum yelled and then tried to calm herself before speaking again “You're 13 now you should act like it…”

Mr Thomas butted in “ Actually she is really quite mature she just doesn’t seem to get along with anyone”

“OH THAT’S FUCKEN IT IM OUTTA HERE” I yelled and walked out of the office.

“Oh it looks like the little emo goth is leaving thank god she was starting to make this place dull and EMO” she said

“Hey Jenny wanna black eye to match that broken nose?” I replied with a smirk on my face and I walked out the doors of yet another school I have been expelled from and I really didn’t care this school was full of stupid jocks and their bimbo’s. Yeah I’m a goth but that didn’t make me less of a person.

I walked home and found my mum waiting for me with my Dad. Dad always seemed to be drunk or tipsy but lately he had hit the bottle a bit hard after being caught five times over the alcohol limit while driving consequently he lost his licence. He then had to walk to work but he was also drunk he turned up 3 hours late to work consequently losing his job.

He immediately came up to me while yelling random slurs of words at me. I was trying to make sense of these words when he punched me in the face and I was knocked out.

2 hours later…
“Honey” I could hear my mum saying to me.

I opened my eyes to see my mum badly bruised and crying.

“Mum” I replied weakly.

“Oh honey I’m so sorry I didn’t think he was gonna hurt you”

“Its okay, Ill be fine what about you did he bash you?” I replied

“Oh it doesn’t matter okay as long as your okay” she said with a slight tremble in her voice “ Well he has gone to the bar I’ve called my sister Kerrie she said we can go live with her in New Jersey”

“What about dad?” I managed to say even though I didn’t care.

“ I broke up with him I was gonna do it ages ago but I didn’t have the guts to” she replied with a sense of accomplishment.
