I run through the crowd of people. I must keeping going. My legs ache and I'm getting tired. Why? Why did I have to do that. I run to the town centre. I look up and see something unusual. Instead of one moon there is two. I stare at it and they slowly form a shape of a heart. I laugh at myself. I look around. I walk off. "Galaxy!". No. I run as fast as my legs can carry me. My brown long hair whips me in the face. My bag flaps on my back. I run just thinking if I can see the world I would do it. Fly into space. I would go anywhere at this moment. Away from the torture.
My name is Galaxy Levesque. Yes a very unusual name. I am unpopular and any mistake I make EVERYONE notices. I go to Brookeville County High School. I'm in year 10 so I'm 16. I'm doing driving tests and hopefully soon I will pass. I have blue eyes, long brown hair, faint freckles, I'm average for my age, as in height. I live with my little brother, Tyde, my twin sister Gabrielle and my older brother Tyler. My mum, Aubrey and my dad, Christopher. We have a dog and a kitten.
I walk into school trying to look for him. I see a blonde mop of hair in the crowd and walk up to him. I hug him, breathing in his warm scent.
"Troye" I whisper.
"Galaxy where have you been?" he asked.
"Oh you know here and there" I say unconvincingly.
Really I had been in serious trouble. I hung around with some bad people for a while. I eventually realised and got a wake up call when I was on deaths doorstep. I took a beating everyday.
"Galaxy, seriously where have you been?" He asked. A bit concerned now.
" Okay, you really want to know? I have been in hospital for the past 5 weeks". I replied.
" Galaxy Oh.My.God seriously are you okay" his face furrowed in a concerned frown.
"Yeah it's just..." My thoughts trail off. I look up into Troyes eyes. My eyes start to water.
"No Galaxy don't cry okay it's going to be okay. I'll look after you". He says in a protective way.
That's what I like about Troye he's so nice and protective over me. He's the only friend I have and I'm grateful for that. I need someone right now and that someone is Troye. We say goodbye just in time to here the siren go and we head off to our classes.
School drags first I have maths then English, history, French, ect. It's hard to pay attention to the classes with what's going on around me. Boys are making paper aeroplanes with nots on them and sending them to each other. Girls are gossiping quietly or passing notes. I feel invisible and I feel like I'm missing out on part of my life. Oh well, you can't always get what you want.
After school I put my music on.
Kiss me on the mouth and set me free.
But please don't bite.
Troye Sivan is my favourite artist. Then it is Ed Sheeren. Me and Troye meet up to walk home together. We walk in silence for a while. I look up at him and remember the day we first met. It was 9 years ago now. Wow that was a while ago. We met at a park. A boy was teasing me about my face. Saying it was dirty and ugly. Troye came and told him to go away. Pathetic yes I know but I was 7 and he was 8. I just love him. I could never say that to him though. I am always worried about our friendship and I'm scared in case I mess something up and we get into a huge fight. As I'm lost in my own thoughts I feel someone's hands intertwine with mine. I look over to Troye and I see he's smirking. I push him a little careful not to be to hard even though I am a girl.
"What was that for missy" he say cheekily.
I lift up my hand his hand still intertwined with mine.
"What was this for" I say.
"Well I felt you tense soo..." He say.
"That gives you no right" I say in a jokey angry tone.
We walk with our hands intertwined for the rest of the way. When we get to my house I give Troye a hug and say goodbye and give him a quick kiss on the cheek. When I get back in I see mum crying.
"Mum what's wrong?" I drop my school bag and run over to her putting my arm around her to comfort her.
"It's... Tyde" she sobs
I drop to the floor my baby brother no it can't be. He has always threatened to commit suicide, but I never actually thought he'd do it. Wait maybe he hasn't. I rush up stairs ignoring my mums anxious calls saying not to. I run into his room. I see blood everywhere. I see Tyde laying there in the middle of the room.
"MUM WHY IS HE STILL HERE CALLED A FREAKING ABULENCE!" I scream.
Dad comes up. " it's no use Galaxy..." He pauses before going on. "he's dead"
I completely freak.
" YOU COULD'VE DONE SOMETHING YOU COULD HAVE CALLED AN ABULENCE FOR FREAK SAKE. CANT YOU SEE HE'S NOT DEAD!!!!" I run to the phone filled with anger. I dial 000.
"Hello emergency here what do you require ambulance, fire truck, or police?"
I do all the details and I wait next to my brother and I start singing;
I just wanna see the starts with you
I don't wanna say goodbye
Someone tell me why
I just wanna see spthe stars with you
Don't give it up just yet stay grand for one more minute
Don't give it up just yet stay grand for one minute
And don't wanna let this go
I don't wanna loose control
I just wanna see the stars with you
And I dont wanna say goodbye
Someone tell me why
I just wanna see the starts with you...
About that time the ambulance arrives. I can go with him so I wait in my room. The wait is agonising. I ring Troye and when he picks up he's extremely concerned when he hears me sobbing. So he drives over...
