Louis

Why I'm still here I have no idea. All these people hate me, absolutely hate me. All the snide remarks they make about me, trying to be subtle, but it's not. I just want to go back home, back to England, but no. My dad won't allow it. I have to stay in this shitty ass town until I'm legal to leave and do what I want. The day I turn 18 I'm out of here. Maybe not the exact day. Maybe a few days after. 

I sighed heavily and closed my locker. I really didn't like school here. I'd been attending for just over a year but I never adjusted. Not like Jade. She was so bubbly and just fit in so easily. She made so many friends. It probably helped she had her girlfriend with her. I on the other hand had no one. Never had. Boy I wished I had someone. I always had my eye on someone, but I could never gain the courage to speak to any of them. Not since the day I got humiliated in front of half the school after asking one of the football players. I didn't know what I expected. But I was young and stupid. I never made the mistake again. 

Across the hallway, I saw Jade standing next to her locker, he hand holding her girlfriends hand while talking to some of the cheer leading squad. They weren't on the team but they were friends with a lot of them. I envied her so much. All the positive attention she got. It just made my blood boil. 

See, Jade is my sister. Well sort of. We share the same sad excuse of a father and that's about it. My mum couldn't raise me, she was a little crazy, and left as soon as I could be fed by a bottle. My dad did a pretty good job raising me. It was only when I was 13 things started to change. He begun to turn to alcohol. I blamed the fact he couldn't find love again. But that wasn't the only thing that changed. A girl knocking on our door with a bag full of gear is what changed everything. 

Jade came to us when she was 13, the same age as me. She had no where else to go, her mum kicked her out when she found out she was gay. Jade's "dad" left her mum when he found out he wasn't the biological father of her. So there she was. Standing out the front of our house wanting to live with us. A random girl we had never even met. Of course we got some tests done and she obliged willingly, so that was a positive start. When it came back positive, she became a permanent resident with us. I liked it at first. I had a sibling to talk to and harass. It ended pretty quickly when our dad declined deeper into alcoholism and I started to withdraw from talking to people. Jade didn't let anything bother her and took charge of caring for our dad when he stumbled in home late most nights.

She did the little tidying up here and there, that I helped with, I'm not going to make her do everything. Especially when she started dating. I began locking myself away when she came into the picture. They were just so happy all the time and I didn't need to see it in my own house when I get enough of it at school. 

We moved to America not too long after Jade started dating Perrie. The only girlfriend I've known her to have. Apparently our dad had some new job lined up for him in the States and decided to pack us up and move. Perrie came with us. 

Now in America, a shitty small town a few hours out of New York, we all lived in a cramped three bedroom apartment. It was pretty run down and small. I had the smallest of the rooms, reasons being Jade and Perrie needed room for both their stuff and got given the biggest bedroom. My dad, being the father got the second biggest, it left me with the smallest. I had barely any room to store any of my things. I still had gear in boxes piled up in the corner of my room. You can see my hatred for the life I had. I couldn't wait to leave and start fresh. 

"Louis. Perrie and I are going out tonight, you'll be alright at home yeah?" she smiled brightly, still holding on to Perrie's hand. 

"Yeah, sure" I mumbled. I never liked to talk much, or loudly. I always had the fear the wrong thing would leave my mouth and I'd end up embarrassing myself again.

"Awesome. Don't wait up for us, we're celebrating" they both giggled. I just pulled a disgusted face. Not only did I not want to picture my sister celebrating, the thought of girls having sex together just didn't agree with me. "You know what to do if dad comes home drunk?" I rolled my eyes and pushed past them both. I hated being treated like a child, I wasn't that much younger than Jade but yet I was incompetent to anything around the house.

Leaving the pair behind me, I let out a deep breath that made a weight come off my body. That was until I saw the blue eyes of Niall. I had the biggest crush on him, for the past year he was all I could think about. I never spoke to him though. If I never spoke to him there was a chance I could date him. Not speaking guaranteed the option of making a complete fool of myself. It also gave me the chance to see he had a boyfriend. He was a total tool in my opinion. He believed he was better than everyone else, just because of the fact he was tall, good looking and had tattoos. I didn't see the attraction in tattoos personally, unfortunately, everyone else thought they were great. 

I held my books tighter to my chest and looked forward as I passed Niall, he was casually chatting to a brunette boy I didn't recognise. As I passed him, I couldn't help but breathe in, the air wafted the scent of his cologne. I felt goosebumps rise on my skin. He always smelt so good. I wanted to be close to him all the time just to be able to have his scent on my clothes, feel his skin against mine as we did something as simple as holding hands, just be next to him. 

I tried not to make eye contact with him. If I did I knew I'd do something like trip, or walk into someone. I couldn't allow that to happen. I had already made a fool of myself in front of him in Phys Ed. One time we were playing dodge ball. It ended with me getting hit in the face with a ball and the whole class laughing. I had two black eyes for a few weeks. Niall saw it all. He didn't laugh, he didn't sneer, he didn't throw the ball. He kind of just looked at me. 

"I can't believe they're really going ahead with this stupid college trip. No one is keen on these colleges. We aspire to something bigger" Niall grumbled and ruffled around in his locker. 

"I think its more to do with showing the experience of the lifestyle. Plus some people don't mind staying close" Niall rolled his eyes. 

"Well I don't want to stay close. I want to go back to Ireland. I'd already be gone if I were 18. Parents want me to finish my year and turn 18. Then I no longer have to live by their rules" his Irish accent so strong it melted my heart. 

I didn't know how long he had been here. He was already here when I began attending the school. Niall's accent was too strong to have been here for a long time. I was betting he came not too long before me. 

"You have your roots I have mine" the boy shrugged. Niall slammed his locker shut and I jumped in my spot. 

I hadn't realised I stopped altogether to eavesdrop on their conversation. I quickly began to move away from the two boys. Not before I heard the unnamed boy whisper something about how I'm a weirdo for listening to them talk. Niall's response is what got me. 

"He's not weird, just different" it wasn't necessarily what he said, but how he said it. Like he knew me. That he paid attention to me and knew more about me than what he showed people. 

And that was all I needed to make my day better. The knowledge that Niall Horan, my biggest crush, knew who I was and thought more of me then the 'weird boy who barely speaks'. 

Short crappy first chapter, but you've met like four of the people who are the main people in it. You'll get to know the others more personally as the story goes on. I don't have a big plan for this so it's more of a as I go type of thing, but because there's so many cast I have to write about I'll do my best to keep up with it all!

Not sure who will be next, if it will be someone I haven't mentioned or one I have. We'll see how I go. Share with any fans of 1d, little mix, teen wolf, vampire diaries and eyewitness!
