Unlucky Me

Chapter 2

Once I woke up I felt unusually happy. "Oh my god did I die? Finally." Right when I said that I felt a slap on my arm. "Ow! What the hell!?" I look to my left to see Elisha glaring at me. Shit. This is why I should say more things in my head. "Hey E." I said nervously. "Don't 'Hey E' me Adrien why the fuck would you say that!?" There aren't enough convincing excuses that could fool him, E was INCREDIBLY smart. He had the opportunity to skip high school twice but, passed because he wanted to grow up with me.

"I um, ok look I'm not well what people say 'feeling well' as in depressed I guess." I shrugged my shoulders and looked out the window. I could feel his eyes on me then look away. "Me too."

My eyes widened and I looked at Elisha. "What?" "I said I'm depressed too. You're not alone." He smiled. I know this was a very important discussion to talk about but I couldn't help but smile too. E always finds a way to brighten my day. "Elisha this is serious." I laughed and he smirked. "Well if it so serious then why are you laughing?" I covered my face with my hands and hid under the blanket dying from laughter. Elisha sat on the bed hugging me and began to laugh too and honestly, this was the best moment of my life. Being able to be stupid with my best friend. "Ok ok" he said in between breaths "Now let's get serious." He said waving his hands in the air calming us both down. "Does this mean we're depressed friends?" I asked. He shrugged his shoulders "Guess so." We both smiled and hugged. "God I haven't hugged anyone in awhile." "Well, now you know how it feels again." Just as I was enjoying the moment someone walked in. My family. Shit so I don't get a happy ending. I reached over to Elisha's ear and whispered "Call me at like 5 tonight. Then I'll tell you everything that might happen with my fucked up family. Well not dad but u'know what I mean." He nodded and grabbed my hand tightening his grip then letting go walking out leaving me and my family alone.

"Oh my sweet baby!!" My mom ran towards me and squeezed me so hard that my arms began to hurt. "I'm fine mom." She grabbed my face and forced me to look at her. "Why did you tell me that this was happening again!" I looked at Kami and my mother's eyes widened. "Kami Eliza Carter!" She yelled making both Kami and I jump. "What is the matter with you!?" "I didn't know he wasn't breathing! He could've just said 'oh hey I can't breathe get mom and dad'!" My dad's jaw dropped as he started at her in misbelief of what he just heard. 'So what you're saying is that you don't give a shit about your brother?" He asked and she stood there crossing her arms. "Well I didn't say that I didn't care." He pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at mom. "Now you see? You see what happens when I tell you to stop spoiling the fuck out of her?" Before she could say anything he stopped her. "I'm the only one in this house who actually cares about him!" "What do you mean only YOU care about him!?" She yelled back and that's when they started to go at it. I just sat there and watched, I looked at Kami once in awhile too, just to see her in tears which made me laugh a little bit.

Seeing her cry is funny. I laughed. After awhile we all went home and had a quiet dinner which I enjoyed. Kami didn't talk the entire time, which was one of my wishes granted now just three more to go. How could things get any better.

********

Welcome to North East High School, the second worst place in the entire world. Full of bullies, sex driven teenagers, alcoholics and failures. What could be better? Literally anything. I'm glad I only have one more year of school so I could stay away from this place forever. "Adrien! Wassup man!" I groaned after feeling a heavy arm on my shoulders and look up to see one of the twins. Well I think it's Jacob, 'cuz well their identical. "Jacob or Elisha?" I huffed. He started at me with a confused look, "Oh come on! You know us well enough to tell us apart dude!" He said shaking me. "Well based on how strong you are and your vocabulary your Jacob." "Bingo!" He yelled fisting the air. I chuckled and shook my head. "Where's E?" "Sick at home. Had a huge fever. Don't worry though! I made him his favorite food, cleaned our room, and did all his chores before he left!" He gave me a huge smile just like Elisha's. Out of both of them Jacob was the positive one. "You're a good big brother Jacob. Can you teach Kami to do that? She's horrible." He nudged me with his elbow, "Don't say that. She's probably doing her best trying to be a good big sis!" "You might know me but you DEFINITELY don't know Kami that's for sure."

⚠︎TW: HOMOPHOBIC WORDS⚠︎

As soon as I was about to walk into the school someone grabbed me and slammed me into the wall and I yelped in pain. Then I was grabbed by the neck and was lifted up, my feet barley touching the ground.

"Well well well. Look who we have here." I look to see Chad, the school bully who beats me every time he sees me. "W-What did I do now?" I asked struggling to breathe but, that was normal for me now. "Nothing. I just saw a faggot and felt like beating his ass today." He said smirking and just before he was about to punch my face in Jacob came in and kicked him right in the mouth. I fell to the ground coughing like crazy and watched as Jacob beat his ass. "Never call my friend that disgusting word ever again!" He yelled throwing punches like there's no tomorrow.

Chad grabbed his arms and flipped them both over and put his knee on Jacob's back while pulling his arms trying to break his spine. I ran up to him and tried to pull him off. "Stop! Chad your gonna kill him!!" I yelled almost in tears pulling on him just to realize I'm making it worse. The more I pull the more likely Jacob would die. I turned around just to see if there was anyone to help and I saw Ashlynn, Jacob and Elisha's little sister. "Ashlynn!! Help!! It's Chad he'a trying to kill Jacob!!" That was enough to get her attention 'cuz less than 30 seconds later there was a pencil stabbed into Chad's back. Deep.

He screamed in pain trying not to land on his back while Ashlynn and I where checking if Jacob was ok.

⚠︎TW OVER⚠︎

"Jacob!?" Ashlynn yelled. Ashlynn, Jacob and Elisha are the same age yet they're not triplets. The twins' dad got Ashlynn's mom pregnant and here we are. So for birth order its Jacob, E, and Ashlynn. "I'm fine, I promise." He said rubbing his back. "Are you sure? That looked pretty painful." I said worryingly. "Yea, I'm sure."

"Well this is one way to start second semester isn't it?" Ashlynn chuckled. She's not wrong but I was hoping for a fresh start this year. No bullies, no complications just me and Elisha.

You know what. I can't take this anymore.

I'm gonna just give up already.
