'My Saviors, these Lads'

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Avangeline's (Ava) POV

I woke up with a start to see I was happily home and safe. But then the images from yesterday came rushing back to my head. I almost fainted again from dizziness. I got up and got a glass of water to drink and some Advil. My head was pounding badly. I looked at the clock hanging on the wall besides my parent's and little brother's picture to look at the time. The clock showed that it was 6:50 A.m. Shitt, I'm gonna be late for school I thought hurrying to the bathroom.

I started showering and while I was doing that I started thinking of my family. Wish they were still with me now. Thinking about them made tears cloud my eyes. I still remembered my mom's smile, my dad's laugh and  most of all my little brother's twinkling eyes. The reason they are dead is all because of me. I stop crying and start singing my favorite song "Lego house" by Ed Sheeran which my parents would sing to me every night.

   "Lego House"

I'm gonna pick up the pieces,

And build a Lego house

If things go wrong we can knock it down

My three words have two meanings,

There's one thing on my mind

It's all for you

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm

If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm gonna paint you by numbers

And colour you in

If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall

And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before

Now I'll surrender up my heart

And swap it for yours

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

Don't hold me down

I think my braces are breaking, and it's more than I can take

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm

If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done I will love you better now

This song described exactly how I felt or how my parents were. After I'm done showering I walk to my bedroom and start getting dressed. I choose to wear black skinny jeans, a long sleeve black shirt to hide all the scars from the past, combat boots and a leather jacket.

I walk out and lock the the door behind me. 15 more minutes until school, I think as I walk.

****

I'm nearing the school and again I can't help but think of my now dead family. I keep replaying their lat words to me over and over in my head. "Remember darling, we love you and will always be nearby and in your heart. And don't blame yourself for any of this.  And remember don't sit around and let yourself be bullied. Let yourself shine". Oh if only they could see me now.

I was so out of thought that I didn't know I walked into school and slammed into a muscular back. The person turned to look at me and I saw it was Riley with his cronies Jace and Hade right behind him.

My heart starts beating faster and faster and I wait for the abuse and bullying.

"Had fun yesterday, slut?" Riley smirks.

I didn't respond and noticed that everyone else was quiet.

I was slammed into the wall and then repeatedly punched, slapped and kicked everywhere.

"Slut we're talking to you. Answer back!", roared Hade.

"Shouldn't you know better than to disobey, Think you'll have to learn your lesson", Jace said.

From then on I was beat up until the bell rang and everyone scurried to class. But Riley, Hade and Jace were still here,"Your a worthless space of air. Why don't you just go kill yourself. No one want you here. Everyone hates you. Your're a fucking fat ass. No wonder your family was murdered cause of you", yelled Riley.

Out of all the things I've been told, those were the worst things told to me. They actually hurt me more than the others.

I closed my eyes and waited for them to leave. As soon as soon as I heard the last of there footfalls I dragged myself off my feet and started limping home without a clue to my whereabouts.

Life just isn't worth it anymore.
