How to Save a Life

Chapter 2

*Mai's POV*

I woke up feeling as sore as ever, already absolutely dreading today. After I got to thanking I'd rather be at school then here at home with him.

I got up and got black skinny jeans and a red hoddie, I grabbed my vans and put them on then making my way to the bathroom .

Once I was in there I turned my straightener on and let it heat up, looked t myself in the mirror and saw a little cut on my lip and a bruise on my jaw and a little around my lip where the cut was. I groaned as I put make- up over it to try and cover it up and from my perspective I did.

After i out my face make- up on, I got my eyeliner out and put it on and then mascara, once I was done with my make-up I was about to do my hair until he (step dad) started banging on the door yelling at me.

"GET OUT OF THERE NOW AND FIX ME SOME BREAKFAST" he yell through the door. "Can I please fix my hair and then I will" I said nicely knowing thank it might work but sometimes it doesn't. I did hear anything so I just did my hair .

When I was done cooking his "breakfast" I left to walk to school.

I made it to school walking in. I started walking down the long hallway making my way to my locker. I was walking with my head down as usual, right when I raised my head up is when I saw him walking down the hallway. His dark brown hair in his beanie with his black shirt and black skinny jeans made him look perfect.

He looked at me making eye contact, we walked right up to each other Just look in to each others eyes as he smiled putting his hands in his pocket.

"You never text me back last night." He said. "Ya, sry I had some stuff come up so I did get to it, sry." I said dropping my gaze back down to the ground.

"Ok, so where do you want to work on the project at?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

I looked back up at him no knowing where a good place was, I would say my house but considering my dad is there I'd puffer home not coming over.

He laughed look down and then back up at me, "How about my place?" He asked. "S-sure, sounds good to me" I said stuttering nervously. "Ok, you can just ride home with me is that's ok?" "Ya that's fine with me" I said giving him a small smile trying not to make it look like I was nervous.

School is finally over. I made to my locker and sat my stuff in it. I was walking down the hall when I felt someone's arm go around my shoulder making me flinch and close my eyes tightly freezing in one spot. "Are you ok?" Alec asked as I opened on eyes seeing it was him but still a little scared. "Y-a I'm fine" I stuttered trembling with fear hoping he wouldnt try and hit me.

We approached my locker and of course my stuff fell out of my hands. I looked down at it felling stupid as I raise my sleeves up and bent down and picked my stuff up. I put my stuff in my locker as I saw Alec starring at my arms, I quickly pulled my sleeves down moving a peace of hair behind my ear.

I looked up seeing him starring at me with worried eyes. I locked gazes with him as he grabbed my arm, her pushed my sleeve up and looked at my scars rubbing his thumb slowly and softly against my fresh and old cuts. He looks back at me and was about to say something when he was interrupted.

I looked to my side to see that it was Eeddie one of the most popular guys in school. "Aww look at the little slut" he yelled out. I looked down trying to hold back tears as heard Alec talk. "Come on man, just leave her alone" he said, "oh and who's going to make me, you?" He said pushing Alec by his shoulders. "Ya I will" he said and they were now inches away from each other, I grabbed Alec's arm telling him that it was fine an to stop but before I knew it they were going at it.
