Valerie's POV (or Val)

"VAL GET THE FUCK UP AND MEET ME DOWNSTAIRS IN 20 MINUTES" I heard my brother Michael shout from downstairs.

"UGH" I groaned to myself as i tried to open my eyes. The key word here, tried. Ohhh shit i didn't introduce myself.

Hi, my name is Valerie Clifford and I'm 17 years old. My birthday is on the 20th November, same as my brothers. But that doesn't bother me because we get on well. Well, we were getting on well until our parents died in a car accident. Now he became very overprotective and doesn't let me talk to his friends when they come over, and he is gone most of the time. Any who, I have long beach wavy turquoise hair with black roots and few piercings. Now I'm waiting for my 18th birth day so i can get tattoos. Yep that's right tattoos.

Now back to my day. Its Monday which means its school day... fuck no. If I could I would totally skip but my brother always drives me because my car is getting repaired. My usual morning routine is like this: shower, get dressed, do my makeup (eyeliner, mascara, lip balm and eyebrows), eat breakfast (made by my lovely brother), brush my teeth and go downstairs to leave with Mickey.

"I'm ready" I said walking into the living room while grabbing my leather jacket.

"Let's go, by the way a friend of mine, Calum will pick you up today after school." He says as we walk out and make our way to his car.

"What? Why can't you?" I said a little confused.

"Because I have places to be okay, now get in the car, please." He said a little angry.

I decided to leave it like that and don't start another argument between us because it will end up like last time. You may wonder what happened, well my amazing brother didn't pick me up from school, didn't leave me keys out to the house and ohhh didn't leave any message as i tried to call him for the whole night. ANDDD I had to stay at Kate's house but then when I came home the next day he said he was worried sick and that I'm grounded. He's so annoying sometimes. Back to my day.

*after school* (only writing the important scenes )

As I walk out the school door I started to make my way to Michael's car.. oh wait his friend Calum is picking me up.

I know a little about Calum, we spoke before after parents accident and Michael actually let me speak to him, which is nice of him. However I'm not that close with him yet.

As I look through the parking lot, I finally found Calum leaning against his black matte Range Rover in his leather jacket and skinny jeans. I got to admit he is pretty hot.

"Hey Valerie, how are you feeling today? " he asked as I walked towards his car.

"I told you call me Val and I'm fine." I said and opened the door to his front passenger seat but he stoped me midway through.

"Listen, I know you little mad at Michael but he's doing this to protect you and he doesn't want to lose you. You're the only person that can keep him alive. Trust me. " he said.

"But what is he protecting me from? Huh? I can't live like this with him constantly leaving God knows where and locking me in the house for no reason! " I said a little angry. I know him and Michael are hiding something but they won't tell me.

"Its for the best to keep it away from you. Okay, want to grab some food on the way home I'm sure Michael would love some food when he gets back." He said changing the subject and letting the car door go so I can get in while walking to the drivers door.

"Sure, why not" I replied not wanting to stop the conversation about Michael and his protection.

I told Calum to drive to the grocery store so I can cook something because I'm not up for a take away.
