Glee Drabble # 4

Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones But Words Will Cut and Hurt Me

Brittany knew that people thought she was stupid. She’d grown up hearing from her teachers, her friends. Her parents never said it, but she could tell when they looked at her sometimes that they were wishing she was normal. People thought she couldn’t hear their teasing.

She could. She’d go to Artie and curl up in his lap, and he’d just hold her and tell her she wasn’t stupid, she just saw the world differently, he wished more people saw it her way.

When Artie called her stupid, she couldn’t curl up in his lap and he couldn’t make the pain go away.
