A Dark Desire

•ONE

~Flashback~

Today was my first day of Senior year, I stretched on my bed before looking at my calendar. One more year and I can finally move out of this hell hole.

There were times where I would think of running away. I could take dads car, drive somewhere far with all my savings. Maybe find a good place to stay but then knowing my dad, he would call the cops and report the car as stolen. Then he'd probably throw me in juvie.

I got up and threw on some black, ripped jeans and a blue shirt. My hair was thrown into a messy bun with a few strands sticking out from the sides, but I honestly did not dare anymore. I still looked hot.

I ran down the stairs and looked at all the family photos again. It started becoming a habit after a while. Seeing them reminds me of how happy we were, how loving and caring this family was. But now it wasn't. My heart ached.

A honk threw me out of my thoughts. It was probably Ava. I ran down stairs, grabbing a dark, red apple on the way. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Even though I skip it half of the time. It's fine!!!

I locked the door behind me and walked towards the red honda civic in front of me. Ava pulled down her sun visor and started applying glittery gloss.

"Damn, you look-" she paused, rubbing her lips together. "beautiful." she finished with a fake smile. I shook my head, ignoring the fact that she curled her hair, put on a ton of makeup and has a short dress on, for school.

"Before you say anything, I'm meeting up with Lucas later, If ya know what I mean." She smirked, sending a wink my way. I wouldn't say she's the type to sleep around a lot but she did go out with many guys. In school, she's the popular cheerleader. Unfortunately some people don't like her cause she's friends with me. The girl who was once popular. And who is now weird.

"Lucas Pierce?" She drove off, not caring where she was looking. "Laura's ex?!, no. You're going to start drama!" I shook my head. Laura is the queen of the school, I guess that's what they call her. Nobody wants to get on her bad side.

"Girl chill, she doesn't have to know." She let out a laugh before lifting her sun visor up. I rolled my eyes at her, this girl never learns anything until something happens. No matter how bad it is.

I turned my head and stared outside. Watching all the tall houses pass by. Rich people lived here, it's pretty obvious.

Before I knew it we arrived to the worst place ever. Or the most toxic place ever, as I like to say. Ava and I walk together. I hear snickers and feel the glares of many people burning through the back of my head. I sometimes wish I could just disappear, just for a minute.

The sun started to peak through the blinds, which annoyed the shit out of me. My alarm was supposed to ring at 8am, waking me for work but what do you know. It's 7:30 in the fucking morning, my nerves got the best of me.

I got up and grabbed my scrubs from my dresser, walking to the bathroom. I have been waiting for this for a long time. Hoping that my dream job would work out for me. It's been hard for me ever since my dad kicked me out. He abandoned me when I needed him, I didn't expect anything from him I just needed shelter and food while I studied in nursing school. But I guess I wasn't that important to him.

I quickly threw on my light blue scrubs. I may have checked myself out for a second but hey, you can't blame me. This new look on me made me feel...good. And proud in a way.
