Alone in the Darkness

Ch 1. Just Another Day...

**Hollys pov**
" see you later !" My mum smiles as she Drops my brother and I to school.

" bye "
I mumbled , slamming the door shut .

My Name is Holly , Holly Hagan .
I'm a 16 year old brunette who is 5'7 .
I have bright blue eyes and waves in my hair .

My Brother is James he's 18 and 'in' with the populars . I'm on my own ... But he doesn't know that .

Yeah I have no-one really . I'm afraid to make friends ... No one has ever liked me . I'm the laughing stalk to most of the school .
My brother is never really in because of injuries in sports , so he has no clue .

I walk on proud that no-one will treat me bad because my brother is by my side . That doesn't stop the dirty looks I get though .

"What's their problem ?" He quirks an eyebrow . I say nothing , " holly ?"

It doesn't matter .

" you okay? You won't answer me?"
" fine , just tired " I weakly smile .

He frowns but keeps walking .

" James!" A familiar voice calls .
It was Kian Lawley my bully , my Brothers bestfriend .

" holly .." He frowns .
"Bye !" He said orderly .

He walks a little and my brother follows , my brother sympathetically smiled and I shrug .

I walk down to my locker to grab my books when suddenly I notice something on my locker .

This locker belongs to a LONER !!
Was written on it in black paint.

No , this can't happen . I ran to the bathroom , tears filling my eyes .

I grabbed lots of tissues and wet them all ,running back trying to wash it off . It wasn't working I threw the tissue in the bin .

This Locker is all that came off.
I sit on the floor , my back facing the locker and cry suddenly to hearing laughter from people walking by.

"Holly?" I hear my brother yell .

" what's wr-" he bent down and looked at my locker . " oh god .." He sighed .

Kian and his girlfriend Ashley were laughing hard .

" SHUT UP!" He screamed at them . They went really quiet .

" who did this ?" He looked at me .

"Idk , honestly " I blinked away the tears .

' I'll find out okay ?' He smiled sympathetically .

"No."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want you to..." I sighed .

"I'm going to wether you like it or not " he furrowed his eyebrows.

"Oh shawn !" James said as he walked past us .

" hey bro ! Nice to see you! Hi holly , How are -What's wrong ?" He suddenly stopped when he saw me .

"Her locker " James hissed .

" wow .." He looked at Kian who turned away .

" ugh gtg" Kian with Ashley ran away .

" take her to the nurse . Just to get her away from this please ? I'm gonna have to help clean this " he ordered Shawn .

" no problem " he smiled .

Shawn is his closest friend . He's been his best friend since he was 9 years old and has never been mean to me .
But he doesn't really talk to me unless James asks him to do something for me .

" she feels really sick in her stomach .. I think it's her .. Time of the month " shawn awkwardly makes up an excuse .

" oh honey , don't cry . It's okay !" The school nurse says
." Come inside the office . Thanks young man , you may head to assembly now ."
She orders him . He smiled at me and walked away.

" what's really the problem ? " she chuckled and sat beside me on the small Bed .

"Bullies . This locker belongs to a loner was written on my Locker " I cried .

She can read me like a book .
I often came here when I was younger if I was alone . She's a really lovely Lady .

" Kian Lawley again? Last time I heard about him was when you were 13?" She frowned .

"Yup.." I sighed ." My brother is cleaning my locker for me apparently .
He doesn't know about this Kian thing and I don't want him to."

"That's okay . Just lie down and relax and get a little sleep , you look really exhausted , all red in your eyes . You need sleep to calm you down or you'll be a wreck by 3:20pm after school!"

She smiled and walked into the small storage room .

I wrapped the covers around me and lay down . This is going to get worse .. I can tell .
