Days went by and things were still hectic. 

"I can't put my life on pause because of this shit." Jelena shook her head. "I'm going back to college tomorrow." 

"I'll drive you." Mark said. 

"But-" 

"No buts about it Jelena, I want to make sure you get there safely." Mark said. "I'll be there to pick you up too." 

Jelena wanted to argue back but she knew she would get nowhere. 

"Okay." Jelena nodded. 

Jelena stood and walked to the kitchen. She reach into the back of the fridge pulling out a bottle of Soju. Ready to down it Mark walked in. 

"Put it back." Mark said. 

"Oh come on." Jelena wined. "Just one shot?" 

"You have class tomorrow and it's almost tomorrow." Mark looked at the clock in the kitchen. 

"One shot isn't gonna hurt me." Jelena rolled her eyes. 

"Don't argue with me." Mark walked over taking the bottle from her.

"Are you sure you're okay with going to class? You know I don't have any classes today." Maria said on the phone. 

"Yes, I know and I will be fine." Jelena said. "If I quit college then I'll definitely have to go back to America."

"Alright." Maria sighed. "Don't let though bullies get to you." 

"I'm hoping I won't get bullied." Jelena looked out the window. "But some people are just cruel." 

"You got this." Maria said giving Jelena a little bit of courage. 

"Mark is waiting for me, I'll call you when I get home." Jelena hung up. 

She grabbed her bag and hurried to the car. 

"All set?" Mark asked. 

Jelena nodded her head as she buckled up. The ride there was filled with music from the radio. Mark could tell Jelena was scared. As he pulled into the parking lot Mark placed his hand on Jelena's thigh. 

"You will be okay." He said. "And if you don't feel safe just call me, I'll come and get you." 

Jelena nodded her head. 

"See you later." Jelena said as she got out the car. "I love you." 

"I love you more." Mark smiled. 

Jelena turned towards her college. She took in a deep breath and started walking. She looked back to see that Mark was already gone. 

"What if I had a change of mind? You're already gone." Jelena sighed. 

With every step Jelena could feel everyone staring at her. She kept her head up ignoring the ugly looks people were giving her. 

"Hey you!" Jelena turned and right as she did an egg hit her. "You're such a whore." 

"You don't even know me." Jelena kept her cool. 

"I know you enough to know that you don't belong here." The girl snapped back. "You're better off dead." 

Jelena rolled her eyes as she continued on. She made a stop at the bathroom to wash the egg off of her. As she was ready to leave five girls walked into the bathroom. 

"You know you're ruining his career." One girl said. 

"No, I don't think I am." Jelena said. 

The girls rolled their eyes walking closer to Jelena. Jelena backed up until she bumped into the wall. Flashes of her past ran through her mind. 

You're better of dead. 

Just kill yourself already. 

Nobody likes you. 

You're just a waste of space. 

Jelena suddenly became dead inside as her last tears ran down her eyes. 

"If you're going to jump me make it fast, you're going to miss class." Jelena said. 

"Okay then, we will." The girls laughed. 

Jelena laid on the bathroom floor trying to gain some strength. Once she did she looked at herself in the mirror. She sighed washing her face off. She watched as the blood ran down the drain. 

"I don't know what Mark sees in Jelena." Jelena overheard. "She's a nobody. She's not even pretty." 

"If I was in her I would've killed myself already." Another girl said. 

"Yeah, Jelena is better off six feet under." The first girl said. 

Jelena took out her mask and put it down. She put her hoodie. Jelena walked with a limp as she made her way off of campus. She pulled out her phone calling Mark. After about six attempts to call him she gave up and took the bus. She held back her tears as she scrolled through twitter. Jelena over heard a couple of teen girls talking about her. Seeing it was her stop Jelena pressed the button and got off. 

When she finally got home she broke down. Jelena stood in front of her full body mirror as she striped. She winced seeing the bruises on her body. She even had a busted lip. Jelena grabbed her towel, phone and speaker. She turned on the water making sure it was just right. She turned on some soothing music. As she sat down in the tub full of water her body relaxed but her mind didn't. Tears rolled down her face once again. 

You're only ruining his career. If you really loved him you'd end things with him. 

Make the fandom happy and just kill yourself.

Jelena sighed, she's had enough of people talking bad about her. With tears streaming down her face she texted Mark. 

JelenaI loved you in this life and I'll love you in the next. Thanks for saving me but this time you won't be able to. I'm sorry that I'll cause you so much heartache, but when you find me I'll already be at heaven gate. I love you so so much Mark. Goodbye.
