till death do us part

I wake up, its about 2:30 in the morning. I'm covered in sweat, i hate my nightmares. I can't sleep, im not the only one who is awake though. My mother, drunk off her ass just walked through the door. All i can feel is sympathy for her. She's been like this ever since daddy died.

"whaa the hell, why are you shtill upp?" She slurred.

" I just woke up momma, let me help you." I say.

I expected a good punch in the face or a flinging into the wall. But She looks at me with love in her eyes love ive never seen before and reaches for me. I wrap her arm around me to help her. I get to her room and lay her down on her bed. I cover her with a blanket and begin to walk out. I stop to here her say something i haven't heard her say in a long time.

"i love you Skylar." She says softly before falling asleep.

I walked back to my room and began to cry. She has never said that before. Maybe it's the liquor talking the smell was stronger than usual so she must of had more than just a couple shots. Her "friend" must have brought her home. I lay back down a quickly fall asleep.

"SKYLAR GET YOUR ASS UP!" I hear my mother say.

"ok ok!" I say back.

I knew it was the liquor talking i shouldn't have helped her. I should have taken her back to the police station. For the 5th time this week she's came home drunk. But all i feel is sympathy. Well, the bad thing is i'm still laying in bed and she walks in.

"YOU FUCKER I SAID GET UP 15 MINUTES AGO!" I hear her scream as flips on the light.

She grabs me by my hair and throws me off the bed. She picks me up off the floor and slaps me across the face. I fall back down onto the floor this time catching myself. She tries to pick me back up but i push, kick her away. I push her out the door and lock it. Nothing like waking up on a school day.. This is what i wake up to every fucking morning this is my life.. I get dressed. I look in the mirror, my black hair all messed up from her episode. I put on dark makeup. I walk out of my room cautiously.

"honey i'm.." I stop her in the middle of her sentence.

" yea whatever." I say

She tries stopping me but i walk out the door. The bus was waiting for me. We stop by a few other peoples houses. Normally we only stop at two houses, but we stop ay a third. A boy about my age maybe 15 with me being 14. He had black hair and pale skin, but he had bright green eyes. And i mean bright he had a lip peircing and a nose piercing also a tattoo like thing on his wrist. Is he even allowed to have a tattoo? he went all the way to the back of the bus which was where i was at. He sat on the other side. He kept staring at me, even when i looked at him he didnt look away.

We finally got off the bus and thank god we did i was starting to get uncomfortable. I begin to walk down the halls. Taylor the captain of the cheerleading squad,most popular girl in school, dating Peter the captain of the basketball team is talking to the other girls. Before a few seconds peter comes walking up and they start eating eachother's faces. Peter being my crush it was hard him seeing a girl who i knew was cheating on him but never knew how to tell him. I look over to see a girl staring at me. Kendra Thomason, ex best friend. She flips her hair and gives me an evil glare. I starting speed walking to my locker C183. I see someone slide next to me.

"so bitch how is your momma treating you" i hear a familiar voice say, Kendra.

"Fuck you Kendra." I spat at her.

" still beating the shit out of u seeing how u have a huge red mark on your face" she says

" THATS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS" i say. I cant let her get to me i just cant

" By the way hows daddy?" She asks with an evil smirk.

I finally broke and slammed her into the lockers holding her there.

"if u EVER talk about my dad again i will fucking put you in the hospital." I said and let her go.

Her eyes were full of shock. I opened my locker, grabbed my books, slammed my locker shut, and left for class leaving her there. She knew what happened to my dad and new what i'd do if anyone said anything bad about him. She knows what happened to him.

I see someone else slide next to me. I clench my fists and turn to see who it is. A pair of unforgettable green eyes were staring right at me.

"jeez u scared me." I say quietly

"what u did back there was... Amazing" he said with a small smirk.

" oh, uh, that, um thanks i guess" i say looking down.

I look back up to see those beautiful green eyes staring up at me. He gave me a feeling of love, warmth, comfort. I wanted to kiss him. No, i can't that is just weird and creepy. I see a piece of paper hanging from the wall... Winter dance January 17.

"ugh " i say forgetting he was next to me.

" what?" He said he looked in the same direction as me and squinted his eyes. " winter dance?"

" yeah just a huge dance where they serve spiked punch and boys grinding on girls not to metion that is also my birthday." I say

He chuckles and smiles at me. God he had a sexy smile.

" So um, whats your name?" I ask

" Axel Deniko.. And yours?"

"Skylar Willing" i say shyly
