Lyla goes through hell after her mother dies in a car crash.
Her brother turned to drugs,
Her dad turned to alcohol and abuse
She sees no reason to live, until she meets the new kid, Jack.
Will he make her realise that she is worth it?
Over the next few weeks, the girls and the boys have gotten really close. They've been hanging out a lot, but Lyla still hasn't talked to any of them about herself
Lyla POV
Another school day, we all got to class, it was plain, simple and boring. I really wish I could just disappear. I don't want to be here at all anymore. I miss my mom, it's all my fault. Oh shit, I'm doing it again. I'm crying in class. I look around to see if anyone can see. They don't. I quickly put my head in my arms, and just act like I'm asleep. I stop crying, but I think my eyes are puffy. A few minutes later, I feel a tap on my arm. I look up and see the teacher staring at me, worried and disapprovingly.
"Miss Peters, I hope you were paying attention, but it doesn't look like your in the right space today. Why don't you go to the restroom and clean yourself up a bit?"
"Thank you ma'am"
I practically ran out of the room. I ran to the bathroom, and slid down the wall, balling my eyes out. I hear the door open, and see Christina. She walks to me, and grabs me into a hug
"Oh, sweetie, your gonna make it okay? and I promise you that I will always be by your side, no matter what comes up." I start crying even more
" I can't stop thinking about her, Chris. Every time, I feel like it's my fault. She died crying that night. I should have never been born, and then maybe my family and I wouldn't be so torn" I said in between sobs.
"Oh, baby. Stop saying those things. It was not your fault. You were upset, that's all. It was never your fault. It's ok to let out your emotions. It just got out of hand, that's all"
"I love you, Lyla"
"I love you too, Chris"
"Come on now. The demon is probably gonna ask us what took us so long" we laughed out loud. I felt good now. It's time for us to go back to class. However, the bell rang before we even made it out the door.
Class-
When we got back to grab our bags, I saw mine wasn't there. I looked around, and saw that our new friend, Jack, had it. I walked over, and he gave it to me.
" Hey, I just thought that you might wanna grab you bag, without going in there and get interrogated by the teacher aha" I gave him a thankful look
" Yeah, thanks, uh Jack" he smiled
" Hey, I noticed that you've been pretty down lately. And you don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but can I ask why you were crying?" I looked at him, wondering if I should tell him. Yeah, I thought why not, it's been that long, and were pretty close
" Um, well... 2 years ago, my mom died in a car accident. And ever since, life has just been really hard. And it's just difficult for me right now." He looked at me with sympathy in his eyes. Great, I just made myself look like a tragedy case. Next thing I know, he hugged me
" If you feel like ranting or talking, or if your going through a hard time, or even if you just wanna hang out, don't hesitate to come over to my house or find me at school."
I looked at him thankful. We both walked over to the guys and Christina. They all looked at us and started whooping for some reason. We sat down and immediately they all started talking.
"So, what happened back there" asked Daniel
"We spoke" jack answered
"About what?" Corbyn asked with a smirk
"Yeah, come on, tell us" said Zach
My eyes darted to the floor, and Christina got the message.
"Hey guys, can we talk about something else? Lyla doesn't like talking that much."
The guys all looked at me, basically saying sorry with their eyes for being nosey. It was quite for a bit. Until Jonah broke the silence
"Hey guys, we should all hang out tonight, wanna come around for a party?" Said Jonah
"Yeah, we'll make it" Christina said
"Great, be there at 6" Corbyn said

After school- Lyla POV
It was 5:45 and I was at Christina's getting ready. She didn't want me to go home, so she drove me back to her house and let me borrow some of her clothes for the party. Christina made me wear this->

We got in the car to drive to the boys address. When we got there the parking spots were packed. We walked in, and I almost immediately lost Christina to Corbyn. I just went over to sit on the couch. A few minutes later, I see Jack. He's walking over to me, with a drink in them.
"Hey Lyla, how you liking the party?" he asks
"kinda good actually. Your friend stole mine from me" I said with a sarcastic mad look on my face
"Oh, well then she wont mind if I have you for the rest of the night, will she?"
"Not if she's too busy with Corbyn" We both laugh, and then he goes off to get some food and drinks. But all hell breaks loose in me, when I see the one person I would hate to see: My ex, Lucas
WELL SHIT. I promise to make the next chapter more interesting and actin packed, but there will be sexual assault in there. So, if your feeling uneasy about it, you can just skip it and I'll write a short recap in the next one.
