Love Can't Die |M.C.|

Chapter 1

Beep beep.

Stupid ass alarm clock. I sit up and shut it off and glare at the first thing I see. A picture of my family. I roll my eyes at how happy I was when I was 7 and how I thought that life was full of pink bunnies and unicorns and rainbows. Oh how stupid I was.

I get up and grab a towel, a All Time Low band shirt with a black and white flannel and black ripped skinny jeans, and my phone. I walk in the bathroom and slam the door shut as I turn on the shower. I rip off all my clothes and jump in washing my whole body. As much as I hated going to school, I had too. I couldn't stay in this hell hole 24/7. Once I was finished I jumped out and dried myself off and looked in the mirror. People were right. I'm just an ugly mess and a disgrace to my family. I had this black hair that no one in my family had and these icy cold blue eyes that no one would dare look into. And I had these ugly scars on my wrists and thighs.

No one would ever love me. That's what I keep telling myself. I sigh and pull on my clothes quickly then start brushing my hair when I hear my dad yell "Hurry up Emily! You're going to be late for your first day of school!" I roll my eyes and quickly gather my hair over my left shoulder and quickly brush my teeth before going in my room and grabbing my backpack and pulling on my black converse and going downstairs and start walking out the door.

"Why didn't you grab something to eat honey?" Dad asked as he peeked out of the kitchen. I shrugged and said "I'm not hungry." And grabbed the keys and walked out of the house. It bothers me so much how he can just act like everything is ok, and that he's a great dad. Note the sarcasm.

The school is only about a 5 minute walk from my house so I can easily walk there. I take my my phone out of my pocket and scroll through twitter as I walk. I was about to turn the corner when someone pushed me in a front yard and yelled "Sorry!" I glared at them then looked up and saw a guy with a blonde fringe standing there.

He held out his hand and said "sorry. That dick don't understand how to be polite. My name's luke by the way." I look at him in the eyes then look down at his hand. I look back up at him then get up on my own. He smiles down at me and at that moment, I realized how much taller he was than me.

"Emily. My name is Emily Robertson." I say as i dust off my jeans. I reach out my hand and shake his outstretched hand. His smile widens and he says "do you mind if I walk with you? Wouldn't want that to happen again to my new best friend." I smile slightly and say "sure."

I clutch onto my backpack straps and start walking beside Luke. Looks like I've already made a friend here without me even trying.

********

We walked up to the front doors of the school and I suddenly felt uncomfortable being around all these people. I'm just not the very social type, at all. Luke must have noticed because he looked down at me and grabbed my hand and whispered in my ear, "It's going to be fine Emmie."

I looked up at him and said "We just met and you already gave me a nickname." He smirked and said "I have special abilities Emmie. Very special abilities." I roll my eyes and feel him grip my hand tighter and start running, dragging me behind him. We end up at the main office and I look around while he gets my schedule for me. 

I turn around and see a guy with blonde hair cut in a fringe walk in the school with 2 other guys, one with black hair and the other with dirty blonde hair cut in a fringe as well. Luke turns around and looks at me then sees what I was looking at. 

He smirked and yelled "Hey Michael! Get your lazy ass over here, and bring Calum and Ashton with you!" I glared at Luke and punched him in the arm and whisper-yelled "What the hell? They look like they could beat your ass." 

He scoffed and said "Oh please. They couldn't even hurt a fly." He walked over to them and gave them all some sort of bro hug then wrapped his arm around my shoulders and said "Guys, this is Emily. Emily, this is Michael," he points at the blonde haired one "Calum," he pointed at the black haired one "and Ashton." he finally pointed at the dirty blonde haired one. 

I nodded and gave a little wave then said "I better find my locker and homeroom, so see ya later guys." I turned around and started walking away until I felt someone grab my shoulder. I flinched but turned around and saw Michael looking down at me. Dammit, how is all these people so tall?

"L-let me see your s-schedule, to um.. see i-if we  have homeroom t-together. Please." I take my schedule out of my pocket and hand it him and watch his eyes scan the paper. He smiles a bit and says "We have every class together except history and science." 

I smile and say "Then Mr. Charming why don't you show me to homeroom?" He smirks and says "Why did you call me 'Mr. Charming'?" I shrug and say "Because when you came in I saw some girls practically drooling over you."

He smirks and wraps his arm around my shoulders and says "Well it would be my honor to escort the lovely Princess Emmie." I throw my hands in the air and say "What is it with people I just meet calling me Emmie?" 

He looks at me and says "Do you have a problem with me calling you Emmie?" I shake my head and say "No. It's just when I met Luke earlier today, he just randomly started calling me Emmie, and now you're calling me Emmie. It's weird." 

He chuckles and gently squeezes my shoulders and says "It's just a talent us Aussies have." I roll my eyes and say "Let's just get to class you goofball." He laughs and starts to lead me to homeroom with his arm still wrap around my shoulders.
