My Protector

Chapter 1

Lauren's P.O.V

I woke up to my alarm clock buzzing. I rolled out of the bed and turned it off. I walked to my closet and grabbed my blue crop top and black skinny jeans. I then walked to my bathroom and hopped in the shower. When I got out I heard my phone ringing. When I looked at the screen it was my best friend Elena. I answered it. "Hey boo are we still up to meet at McDonald's for breakfast this morning." she said. "Of course all I have to do is get dressed and do my makeup. So I will be there in about thirty minutes." "Okay see you there boo." After we said goodbye I hung up the phone and got dressed. I then put on my regular makeup which is mascara, eyeliner, and blush.

I then French braided my long blonde hair. After doing my hair I put on my white converse shoes and ran downstairs. I grabbed my car keys kissed my mother goodbye and walked out the door. When I got in my car I happened to see a car at the house next door. Some one must have moved in there this weekend.

I would never forget the day that I lost my very best friend. I met him when him and his brother Derek moved in next door. He was 15 or so I thought. I was nine. One day I was playing with my purple ball when it rolled in the road. I looked before I went to get the ball and didn't see any cars coming. Right when I picked up the ball a car came speeding down the road. I was back in my yard in a second before the car had almost hit me. I noticed I was in a hug. Damon had saved my life. That's when I started to hang around him more. When I started school he offered to take me. From every morning on he drove me to school. When I became 10 I realized that I thought of Damon of more than a brother. I loved him. When I turned twelve I asked him to take me to my school dance he said he would take me. That night came and I looked beautiful. I walked over to Damon's house. When he opened the door he had a suitcase. "Are you going on vacation after the dance Damon. " He looked very upset. "Hey princess you look beautiful. I am so sorry but I have to go. I can't stay here any longer. " I began to cry uncontrollably. "You can't leave I ... You are like a big brother to me. I need you in my life. " I felt a warm hand wipe my tears off my cheek. He then engulfed me in a hug. I would never be able to feel his long arms wrap around me and make me feel safe. "Don't cry princess you will see me again when you become a teenager. " With that he hopped in his black 67 impala and drove off. I was left crying on his front steps. I ran inside up to my room and cried all night long.
