Hold on 'Till May (Vic Fuentes fan fic)

Chapter 4

I woke up in an instant. I look around too see what had just woken me, my vision still blury. I then saw Jim standing there, with a belt in his hand. As I got up, the pain of realizing I had just been whipped in the head had caught up too me. I stumbled a litte bit, but I caught my balance before I had the chance too fall. I glance at the clock, it read '6:30 a.m.'. Wow.. This is the latest I have slept in months.
"You have too get your ass too school in an hour." Jim said as he slowly walked out. I didn't know which too be shocked at more, the fact that I actually had too return too my messed up high school, or the fact that Jim wasn't already drunk. I go too my closet, I grab a navy blue Linkin Park tee, throw on some light blue jeans. I walk up too the mirror.. Oh god, that was a mistake. I was a mess. My make up from yesturday smeared all down my cheeks, & my hair looked like a huge ball of black fuzz. I combed through it, & hurried into the bathroom. I went over my hair with my straightener a few times. Not enough too make it dead straight, but enough too escape the ball of fuzz. I didn't feel up too putting on make up. Yes, I'm ugly as fuck & probably will be judged & ridiculed. But.. I will have that either way today, so why & try too look good? I walk downstairs too find Jim past out on the couch with the t.v. on full volume. I walk past the scene & into the kitchen. I didn't feel up too eat today.. I guess I was hoping more too my mom being down here & saying it was all a big joke. That Adam really wasn't moving, that I will get too see Lainey today, & that I don't need too go back too the hell hole called, 'high school'. But she was no where in sight. She was a nurse, so she worked the weirdest hours. So honestly, I don't where the hell she is 75% of the time. I run up stairs & take on last look in the mirror, trying my hardest not too cry. I grab my keys, knowing that the way I look now is the best it's gonna get. As I get in my car, I hesitate too turn on the radio. I already have a headache from the stress of everything, I really don't want too make it worse. Eh, what the hell. I turn it on, & an Avenged Sevenfold song is on. I turn it up on full volume, fuck the headache. I got into the music, & I forgot all of my problems.. Until that is, I go too my damn school. I found a parking spot in the back lot. Only 4 or 5 other cars where parked there, so I thought I would be safe from people. But boy was I wrong.
"Katherine??" I hear someone from behind call my name. I flinch at the high pitched voice, & when I turn around I see her.. Ashlee. She used too be my best friend in middle school. That was before.. Well everything.
"Hi Ashlee." I say quietly waiting for her too catch up too me. Once she does, she hugs me for what seems like forever, even though it was most likely only a few seconds.
"Where have you been? You didn't show up for the first two months of school." She said as we continued too walk into the empty building. I remembered everything from this school, the smell, the classrooms, the lockers, how much I fucking hated it.
"Katherine? Earth too Katherine." My thoughts got cut off by Ashlee & her bickering.
"Oh sorry, it's just been a while since I've been here. But everything looks exactly the same." I say wondering around the halls. I had gotten here 20 minutes early just for that purpose.
"Yeah, nothing ever changes around this lame ass high school. But anyway, tell me what happened too you. Some people thought you were dead.." She said as she grab my arm & made me follow her.
"Ashlee where are you takin-" I got cut off as we wondered into a room with 4 others it in.
"Katherine, this is.." Before she says anything they all stand up & turn towards us. There was one who was taller than the rest. With brown hair down too his neck, he had a lip ring. He was the palest of all of them. Even though all of them were extremely tan. By his side was a guy with hair that stuck straight up, with a blonde streak running down it. Then after him, there was a guy that looked familiar. He had shorter hair, with some sort of braid sticking down. He was wearing a snap back & had the most beautiful eyes. Then, I noticed him.. The guy from the park the other day, Vic. I failed too notice how cute he was yesturday. In fact, they were all adorable, that's never good.
"That's Mike," She said pointing too the tall guy. "That's Jaime, that's Tony, & that's.." Before she could say his name, he walked over.
"Ash, she knows who I am." He gave me a hug.. What's up with all this goddamn hugging?
"Why are you here? Did I leave too strong of an impression yesturday, & now you can't stop thinking about me? Damnit.. That always happens." He said as a small chuckle slipped out.
"Yeah, in what world?" Jaime said coming up from behind him, along with the others. Jaime came over & gave me a hug too.
"Nice too meet you, Katherine." He said backing up to re-join the rest of the three.
"Call me Kat. I can't stand my full name." I said as I rolled my eyes. I know they didn't know better but it still annoyed me that they called me my full name.
"I'm suprised you guys don't recognize each other. Katheri-" She paused & saw the glare I sent at her as I heard my full name slip through her lips. "Kat.. went here her first three years."
"Well I'm new this year so, I couldn't possibly remember her. Trust me, I would remember a beautiful face like hers." Jaime said as he smiled at me. My cheeks went red, no one had ever called me beautiful. Especially not a stranger.
"Well, I have too go too the office now, so, ugh bye." I said as I practicually ran out of the door.
