Trying to Survive My Insane Heart...

Chapter Two:Rory

                My alarm went off; not school again... I have senioritis and we are only two months into the school year, I am so ready to be done so I can get a scholarship to some killer university and play football and soccer there. I pressed snooze on my alarm; I'm not ready to deal with school and girls yet give me twenty minutes. My phone rang, are you kidding me!? Can't I just sleep and not wake up for another two hours. I tried to let the call go to voicemail, but the person called again. I sat up angrily, grabbing my phone to read who was calling- it was Cassius. Why the freak is he calling me at 7:18? I pressed the yes button.

"Hello?" I said groggily in to the phone, until I realized I was holding it upside down, I switched the phone so it was right side up and said

"Hello?"

"Hey man, uh could you possibly pick up Scarlett for school? She's on pain killers and has to make it to Spanish or she'll kill me."

"Yeah sure, why are you calling me this early?" I asked rubbing my eyes.

"Dude school starts in 15 minutes." I looked at the clock again. It didn't read 7:18 it read 8:18.

"Crap. Okay uh yeah I'll pick her up, tell her to wait outside and I'll be there. I gotta go... Bye."

"Thanks, man bye." I hung up the phone as I jumped out of bed. I have never showered so fast in my life. I was out the door by 8:21 and in my car driving to Scarlett's house. She was waiting outside with a huge black cast on her leg and crutches; wearing a 'Pierce the Veil' t-shirt, hair in a messy bun, with headphones in her ears. She opened the door and got situated luckily it was her left foot that was broken not her right foot so technically she could still drive. The second her door was closed I drove as fast as possible- without getting a ticket- to school. Scar didn't even have a class for another ten minutes because she was injured and she could pretty much show up late to her one class and it wouldn't matter, she was going to pull an 'A' anyway. Lucky for her she didn't have to work on Fridays... I parked and ran into school.

I made it to AP Biology just in time, when the bell rang the teacher announced that we would in fact be learning about the skeletal system today. He droned on and on for an hour- I know most all the bones anyway from breaking them myself- after class I found Scarlett standing next to her locker flirting with some scared sophomores I put my arm around her shoulders.

"Scarlett dear we can't flirt with the sophomores and scare them to death." At this comment she started laughing hysterically- she was definitely on pain killers. I turned to the sophomores who looked more scared than ever, they probably thought she had gotten high.

"Guys she broke her foot yesterday; she's not high, she's just on pain killers." Scar laughed even harder.

"That's it come on Scar we are going to take you home and you can watch Bones, okay?"

"Okay," she giggled again. I told her to follow me; as took her to the office to show her to the secretary.

"I'm just going to take her home; she's on some pain killers from her broken foot and everything... if that's okay?"

"Yes sweetie go ahead and take her home." She smiled in a motherly way. I then led Scarlett back to my car to take her home; she had her music in again so there wouldn't be much chatting on the way I guess. Maybe I should call that girl Alex... She could probably find some people to come take care of Scar in her drugged up state. I dialed Alex's number the phone rang and rang until she answered on the second to last ring.
