8 years

part 1

authors note:

so I have multiple things to say so bear with me

1. this is my first ever book ive wrote so im sorry if its written terribly

2. there will be spelling mistakes and not a lot of caps because I can't spell and prefer to write in lowercase

3. by the time your reading this I will have the next chapter written because I want to make sure I always have something to give to you guys

4.this is purely for entertainment (mainly for myself)

5. Alex is extremely loosely based off myself as I like to build and use stuff (you will find out what later) and im not too good with books, but my family is amazing and I love them. I was never abused or put in bad situations with them so do not worry.

6. every chapter I will try to write at least two thousand words

if you have any questions ask away and ill try to answer them, I hope you enjoy this (hopefully) thrill of a ride.

*gives cookies*

your truly,

mogo :)

Walking down the hallway with my books clutched in my arms, I felt three taps on my shoulder and smiled. Only one person taps my shoulder three times, "Alex are you coming out tonight? My dad isn't home for a while and I got a new packet of ciggs that need smoking." No we don't smoke a lot but that is how we tell each other its been a stressful week without all the emotions. "Yea of course, our place?" "Obviously", our place was an abandoned football field, a five minute walk for both of us, in between where we live. "well I have to go now, more bad grades to collect, see you at lunch?" "yea ill save a seat for you, Alex Taylor" "of course you will, harry styles, or ill eat your food"

School flew by surprisingly quick, most of my classes I sit beside Kirsten, she is really nice but not afraid to start a fight, she has had an eye for a girl called Nadia for as long as I can remember, but Nadia is one who needs to be tamed, she doesn't sleep around or anything, she just flirts with anyone or anything. Me personally, I think it's quite cute because sometimes I see them giving each other glances from across the room.

As I got up from my last class, just about to go home, I felt someone grab my arm, I look around and see Kirsten looking at me with hopeful eyes, "I know that you know I have a crush on Nadia but do you think I have a chance with her? she sends me all these mixed signals and it confuses the fuck out of me.''

"I honestly think you do, just give it some time and drop some hints yourself, start a conversation or something" im not good at relationship advice since ive never been in one, Ive been pining over harry since I met him, which was 7 years ago, im now fifteen, sixteen in two weeks, and harry is seventeen and ive never made a move. "your a godsend Alex I swear, thank you" "no problem, anytime"

I dreaded going home, no doubt my uncle was drunk again, I can't remember the last time he was sober. I moved in with him when child services took me away from my mum and dad, they both abused me. I was hit if I got below an A, which was extremely often, im not very good with books, I prefer to build stuff, but they saw that as useless and wanted me to become a lawyer, I guess im not the daughter they wanted.

 I moved school when I moved in with my uncle Jason, that's when I met harry, and it was going good for the first two years with Jason, we would go bowling every other week but when he got divorced from Sam, who loved me but never liked my friendship with harry, she thought he was a bad influence, fell down the rabbit hole of alcohol. I've learned to ignore it but it still effects me. that's why me and harry go out most nights, just to share a cigarette and let our stresses run away.
