Is It Real?(possibly deleting)

First Day Of School

"Dude get up! We both forgot to set our alarm clocks. Come on. Get your ass up!"

Diesel rips the blankets off me causing me to roll off the bed with them, jumping awake.

"Ok ok I'm up!"

I groaned and rubbed my head, still half asleep.

"Kirt if you don't get moving now you'll be late."

I jumped up and looked at the time. Absolutely no time for a shower. I sigh and get up, walking over to my dresser and looking through it. I throw on some better boxers when Diesel goes in the bathroom. I grab some jeans and one of my band tees and throw them on. Diesel storms out of the bathroom, his hair no longer messy. I rush in there, quickly brush my hair and teeth then run to class with Diesel.

~small time skip~

I catch my breath as me and Diesel make it to algebra with some time to spare. Turns out I have my first class with him. And Grim. The desks are organized into pairs.

"Sorry Kirt"

Diesel slapped my back playfully.

"I gotta sit with Grim."

He chuckles and walks over to Grim, sitting next to him. I look around and shrug as I walk to the paired desk behind Diesel and Grim. As class is about to start the door creeps open and I look at it to see Reece come in. She looks around and I realize the last open seat is by me. I look at my desk, not wanting to stare at her. Reece walks over and slowly sits by me, putting her bag in her lap and hugging it. God I wish I had the courage to tell you how beautiful you are..

-time skip to close to the end of class-

"I hope you like who you sat next to because they will be your partner the rest of the year. And," the teacher grins, grabbing a stack of packets and handing them out. "Here is your first project of the month. It's due in 2 weeks."

I look at Reece as she takes the packet and flips through it.

"W..would you rather us work on it in your room..?"

Reece looks at me, her beautiful green eyes that I get so lost in staring at mine.

"Sure.."

Her voice is so soft and calming yet very quiet and shy. More reasons to love this girl I barely know..

-time skip to dinner-

I was the first to make it to dinner so I went ahead, got my dinner and sat at our table. Reece walked in, got her food and sat next to me. She sat there for a bit, staring at her food then she looked at me.

"Tell me more about you.."

I set my fork down and looked at her.

"Like what?"

I asked nervously.

"Like...more about..your mom. You sounded sad talking about her.."

She sounds like she's whispering at all times but her voice is some how soothing. I looked down at my hands on the table when she mentioned my mom.

"When..my dad left...she started drinking a lot."

I paused for a bit, tears threatening to spill again.

"I felt like I had to become the adult for her. Always having to pick her up places and bring her home and stuff. Eventually..she went to rehab and got a bit better. But she still has her times. She got a boyfriend but..he abused me..she didn't seem to care so..I moved here. I hated leaving her but...I couldn't stand more abuse from him and fights with her."

I looked at Reece waiting for a reply only to see her with her hands over her face and soft sobs coming from her.

"Oh no I didn't mean to make you cry.."

I pull her into a soft hug and she cries in my chest.

"I..I'm s..so sorry.."

She gripped my shirt and kept crying.

"Don't apologize Reece..there's no need..it's ok."

I rubbed her back trying to comfort her. I saw Diesel and Quin come in laughing but Diesel's face turned cold when he saw Reece crying in my arms. Diesel ran over to us.

"What the hell happened?! What did you do Kirt?!"

Reece kept crying in my arms and I motioned for him not to as she cried more when he yelled.

"Why did you make her cry??"

He tried to take her away from me but she shoved him away and looked at me.

"Please come to my room with me..please.."

She wiped her red eyes waiting for a reply. I hesitantly looked at Diesel then at Reece and nodded. Diesel kind of..growled at me and I could have sworn I saw his eyes flash a gold color but they went back brown when Quin touched his shoulder. Reece growled as well then took my hand and pulled me all the way to her room. Why were they growling..? And why did Diesel's eyes glow..? Reece pulled me in her room and shut the door then walked around pacing.

"Reece wh-"

Reece leaned against a wall, slid to the ground and put her hands over her face crying.

"What's wrong Reece..?"

I walked to her and sat next to her.

"Talk to me please.."

Surprisingly, Reece climbed into my lap and cuddled up against me while crying.

"My parents abused me too.."

She broke into sobs and I knew nothing more needed to be said and so I just held her tightly in my arms, rocking her till she calmed down and fell asleep.

"Everything will be ok.."

I whispered to her and she seemed to hear me as she gripped my shirt and whispered, "Don't leave me alone.."
