Help Me Forget

Help me with my new beginning?

Chapter 1:

"Daddy can I go over to Claire's tonight" I ask my father who is sitting on the couch.

"Sure." He responded nonchalantly.

That day I wouldn't have guessed anything was wrong with him. I was wrong.

So completely and utterly wrong.

"Okay. Ill see you tomorrow daddy! I love you!" I yelled from the front door.

"I l-love you t-too." He responded shakily.

I walked out the door and skipped to my car.

Only didn't I know that was the last time I would ever speak to my dad again.

BRING BRING BRING!

I slammed my hand on my alarm clock and opened my eyes. The lighting through the curtains was too bright for my liking. I rolled over groaning.

A few minutes later aunt Nancy came in to wake me up.

"Rowen come on sweetie it's your first day! You have to get up!"

"Exactly..." I muttered rolling back over.

Aunt Nancy sighed and literally drug me out of the bed. She turned on the shower for me and left me in the bathroom to get ready.

After my hot, relaxing shower I went to my closet to pick out my outfit. I decided on a mint green over the shoulder sweater and dark washed ripped jeans. I paired it with a pair of brown gladiator sandals. I pulled my hair into a messy bun and but a big white bow underneath it. I decided to just put mascara and powder on not really trying to impress anybody.

I jogged down the stairs to grab my breakfast before I had to catch my bus. Aunt Nancy made me some toast. I grabbed it while running out of the house screaming a thank you.

As the bus came to a stop I notice the bus was barely full except for one seat. I slowly stepped on the bus.

" you can go sit with Keegan over there sweetie." Said my bus driver.

I looked over at the boy with two earbuds on his ears, im guessing listening to music.

I walked down the isle until I got to the seat and slowly sat down next to the boy. He turned ever so slowly making my nervousness worsen.

He raked his eyes over my body and slowly smiled at me.

"Hi. I'm Keegan." He said sweetly.

"H-hi." I stuttered. God I'm such a failure.

He laughed. " don't be nervous I won't bite." He said obviously humored by my stuttering.

I shyly smiled at him as he asked what my name is.

" my name is rowen." I said quietly.

"Nice to meet you." He smiled.

I simply nodded as he turned around to listen to his music again.

I slowly studied him an I realized he was really good looking. He had sandy brown hair with a well built body. He was a typical jock I guess. He seemed really friendly though.

When I stepped into the school I noticed no one was in the hallways. I slowly walked to the office being careful not to draw too much attention to myself.

I got my class schedule and looked at it wondering where room 718 was. I looked around clueless. I turned around but suddenly I was bumped into by a short blonde girl.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" She apologized.

"It's okay!!" I said

She looked at me curiously and notice I was lost.

"Are you new here?"

"Yeah." I said shyly.

"Oh ill help you! My name is kaylee by the way!" She introduced herself.

" I'm rowen." I stated.

"What a pretty name!!" She complimented.

"Thanks." I said shyly.

She took my schedule and led me to my homeroom.

As we walked in I noticed one thing and one thing only.

Right in the very back , with his earbuds in, sat Keegan. The same Keegan from the bus.
