The Apple Doesn't Fall Far

The day was cold and dark. The pegasi have decided to schedule an emergency storm to   make up for a two week drought. Apple Bloom was walking home the same path of trees she would walk to her home. She was in school still a filly but Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo already had their cutie marks and they would ignore her in school. They would tease her and call her “Blank Flank” and “Farm Girl”. She would go to the tree house that had been the Cutie Mark Crusaders Head Quarters. She remembered all the fun they had trying to find their special talent. Sweetie Belle’s cutie mark was a microphone with swirls symbolizing how it was hypnotizing when she sang. Scootaloo’s cutie mark was a red scooter with wings symbolizing her tricks with a scooter and how she still couldn’t fly but was so advanced with the scooter that she could rival train speed.  Apple Bloom was in tears in the tree house. She would cry so much that her eyes would start to bleed, she would cry so hard that her coat was stained with the tears and blood of the poor yellow filly. How could this happen?... she thought to herself as she was curled up in a ball from the recent teasing from her ex best friends and the whole class when it let out. Today’s bullying was worse however when Scootaloo asked Apple Bloom to see her in the alley behind the school. Scootaloo looked at her lovingly and acted like she was going to kiss her but instead punched her in the muzzle as the other kids popped out from around the corner and started to beat her screaming at her calling her “Filly fooler”,”Lesbo”,”Blankie”,”Cunt sucking bitch,” and other profound names. She had feelings for Scootaloo and told her on Hearts and Hooves day but Scootaloo just punched her in the face and started beating her with Sweetie Belle joining in. Ever since then her so called friends would beat her up and she’d come home with bruises and sometimes bleeding. She told Big Mac but he couldn’t do anything except hug her. Her sister Apple Jack found out about her confession and told her how it was wrong and it was a crime against Celestia herself and she wouldn’t become an angle because of her life choice. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash had a loving relationship and Twilight was starting to have feelings for a blue mare named Trixie. When she mentioned that she got hit in the face for bringing up that in their house. Apple Jack accepted the fact that Twilight and Pinkie was a lesbian but not her little sister. It brought tears to her eyes. Apple Jack knew about the bullying and so did Big Mac but was afraid to tell rarity or the school because they felt the same way about mares loving mares. Apple Bloom was too afraid to ask Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie in fear they would tell Scootlaoo then she’d get more beatings for being a snitch.

Apple Bloom laid there on the cold wood of the club house and cried over the day’s events. Apple Bloom just got beat up by the whole school. Sure she got beat up after school but she seemed like it this time she lost all hope. Not to mention the love of her life joined in on the “fun”. She got a paper and pen and started to write. She started to write her feelings down all of them. She wrote poems, stories and pictures. She needed an outlet but that hurt her even more. She started to write things like “blank flank”, “Pig”, “Filly fooler” and taped it to herself. Apple Bloom finally wrote something which would be her last words. Apple Bloom got the rope that pulled the bridge up to the club house and chewed it off. She decided to end it all. She wished everything could change. She wished somepony would love her for who she is. It wasn't her fault she liked mares she was just attracted to them.

She made a noose with the rope. She set it up in a way which it would support her weight. I’m sorry she thought with tears pouring down her face. I wish there could be another way but there isn't. She tied the rope to one of the railings and put the noose around her neck. Mah family Mah friends I’m so sorry. When she took off the rope the bridge fell little did she know Apple Jack was on her way to see what had happened. Oh Celestia I’m sorry. Please forgive me and she jumped. There was a crack and Apple Bloom thought it was her neck but it was a lightning bolt striking a tree in the distance. She was still alive but the rope was choking her out. Apple Bloom saw Apple Jack and heard her screaming but it wasn't very clear. By the time she drew her last breath Apple Jack arrived screaming. Mamma papa….I’ll see you soon…That was her last thought as she drifted away to an endless sleep. Apple Jack was and screaming her lungs out as rain fell upon her face. Rainbow Dash arrived there as soon as she heard Apple Jack scream and saw the little filly hanging there and she just hugged Apple Jack as the rain fell heavily on them. The paper was falling off the filly’s body as the words floated down toward them. “Filly fooler”, “Blank Flank”, “Pig”, “Farm Girl”, all of those names fell on the ground as she was there on the rope. Apple Jack just kept crying and Rainbow Dash was trying to get Apple Bloom down from there. The rope was too tight even for her. She couldn't pull it lose. The rain was falling like lead onto the dead filly tied to a rope and the ponies down below. If Apple Bloom would have looked at her hips before she jumped she would have saw it. An apple with a rope tied around it.
