Tony Perry "Music Saved Me."

School

Hello there, my name is Leslie, and I go to a piece of shit school, with shitty people in it, well, except for one, my best friend Cara. You see if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be where I am today. I'm 18, and yes, I attend high school. So yeah, I love bands, especially the following, My Chemical Romance, Sleeping With Sirens, Suicide Silence, Bring Me The Horizon, Of Mice And Men, All Time Low, Falling In Reverse, A Day To Remember, Asking Alexandria, Black Veil Brides, and my favorite of all, Pierce The Veil. Well you see at my school, people there are judgy, they honestly care only for money, and fame, and here I am, with Cara the only two "freaks" at school. People constantly judged me for the way I dress, my music taste, my unpopularity, and most of all, I was always covered in bruises. Yes, it's exactly what you think it is, I have abusive parents. Sadly my twin brother Alexis died when I was only 14, and so now I'm here, having to cope, with the struggles of being myself.
*Later At School*
-Leslie's POV-
I arrived at school, to the usual, stares, judgment in people's eyes, and even teachers staring at you like you were crazy, but I cant help but smile.
As I was walking to my first period class, I was stopped dead in my tracks, by a pair of hands, I'd recognize those hands anywhere.
"Cara!!!" I screamed as I turned around and hugged her.
"Hey Leslie, I thought it'd be cool if I walked you to your first class?" Cara said.
"Of course it would be cool, no duhhhh!" I said laughing.
We got to my classroom, and I proceeded to do the same as any other day, sit in the back, headphones in, music blasting, and drawing notebook, and pencil out.
I did this for all my classes, and magically, managed to maintain straight A's.
When I got home, it was the usual, questions about why I was 5 minutes late, or why I was such a bother, and they even went as far as to blame, my own twin brothers death on me. Thats when I broke, and I lunged at my father, who was 5 times bigger than me. He immediatley pinned me to the floor, and started punching my stomach, and my arms. After all that, I couldn't move, so I just stood there, waiting for him to go to some bar. Just when I thought it was over my mom comes over, and throws ice at me, after she kicks me in the stomach. I got my self assituated, and limped up to my room, I cleaned up any open wounds, and crawled into bed. At least it was the weekend, and Cara said she had a surprise for me, and I couldn't help but wonder what it could be.
