8. Hate Train
That @kyliedeming girl on Twitter has gotten annoying. Well more annoying...
I unlocked my phone clicking on Twitter.
"@reeddeming: I can't control my feelings for you."
"@kyliedeming: @reeddeming aww Reed 😍 I can't either."
"@SophMendes: Stop trying honey you're embarrassing yourself."
"@kyliedeming: oh get over yourself honey. ✋🏻 he doesn't want you. Go suck on your dummy"
"@sophmendes: wow I'm not 3."
"@kyliedeming: but you act like it."
"@sophmendes: Honey it's not nice to talk about yourself."
"@kyliedeming: you have part hectic written all over you."
"@sophmendes: wow worst insult ever honey."
"@kyliedeming: you're ugly why would he go for you?"
"@sophmendes: At least I don't paint myself in make up and draw on my eyebrows."
"@kyliedeming: no make up in the world could fix you honey."
"@sophmendes: no skin care product can fix your damaged skin sweetheart. ✋🏻"
"@kyliedeming: that was pathetic. Like you."
"@kyliedeming: honey here's how it works. Reed is mine, he prefers someone pretty. That you ain't."
"@kyliedeming: I'm surprised he didn't throw up when he looked at your face for the first time."
"@sophmendes: wow that was so lame and fake. Like you." I mocked her. I rolled my eyes at the screen and then noticed she stopped in directing me so I switched my phone off. Shawn stared across at me but I fake smiled and grabbed a huge packet of Doritos and hibernated into my bed, closing the curtain. I switched on my phone as I munched on a Dorito. My Twitter was blowing up with notifications and messages...
I checked my notifications, some were a few fans asking about my indirected and others were hate... I had never gotten hate before so to suddenly be exploded with lots of hate is a shock to me. I carried on eating the Doritos as the read every word of hate I received...
"You're so fake."
"Leave Reed's fans alone."
"Whore."
"Attention seeking whore."
"Why do you think Reed likes you?"
"Ew kill yourself."
I absorbed every word. There was a lot of really bad messages but it wouldn't be right to repeat them. I pulled the covers over me and switched my phone off, staring at the wall of the bus. There was another show tomorrow so I had to pretend to be happy... Shawn and Reed had performed at two shows already and the next show was coming up in Chicago.
*morning*
I braced myself for the comments and death threats I'd be receiving today.
"Sophie." I heard Shawn's soft voice. I groaned and opened the curtain slightly.
"What?"
"It's time to get up princess. We'll be reaching the venue in 30 minutes." He smiled at me with tired eyes.
"What time is it?"
"6.00 am." He told me and I groaned again, rubbing my eyes. I grabbed my phone and shuffled out of the bed until I was stood in the hallway of the bus. Reed was typing on his phone on the couch. I grabbed my clothes and changed in the toilet as it was the only private place to get changed. I stared at myself in the mirror and ran my fingers through my hair.
I wasn't ugly was I?
I pulled on my clothes and put on a thin layer of foundation, mascara and eye liner. I sorted out my hair and then opened the door walking out.
We all walked out and into the venue for sound check and practise. I wandered backstage after the practising and setting up and it was time for the sound check. I disappeared into Shawn's dressing room as the audience started arriving.
"Hey do you want tow arch the show? Reed's about to go on." Shawn walked in hyped up. But I shook my head.
"I don't feel too good so I'm going to stay here." I told him. It wasn't completely a lie.
I didn't want to see Reed perform. I didn't want to do anything.

Poor Sophie. :( Cyberbullying is a huge issue in today's society and I am strongly against it. It makes me sad to see kids and teens my age going through the Cyberbullying. We're all unique and different and they're NOTHING wrong with that. No one is perfect and everyone should accept that. ❤️ YOU are beautiful never forget that.
Much love
