|Mitches POV|
I was startled awake my alarm going off. I looked around taking a deep breath. The air in my room was still cold as it was dark out. I had to be out of the house before my father woke up so I wouldn't have to feel with more then I already did.
I stood up walking into my small bathroom looking in the mirror. I was thin and bruised. My arms still had the round patterned cuts from the stabs of the bear bottles. He was drunker then usual last night. Fresh cuts where still scattered on my arm from my own abuse.
I sighed grabbing the outfit I had set out the night before. My eyes where black with bags but I couldn't change that. I pulled off my sweatpants replacing them with jeans. I winced in pain as the tight jeans scraped my cuts. I held back I yelp so I wouldn't wake up my dad. I sighed as I finished pulling on a shirt and a open hoodie.
I walked back into my room grabbing my bag as well as my phone and headphones. I pulled them onto me head, throwing my bag over one shoulder pushing my phone into my hoodies pocket.
I grabbed my shoes sipping them on. I walked out of my room seeing my mom asleep on the sofa. She had it worse then me last night. I shook her softly her eyes fluttering open. She smiled at me knowing I was okay. Even beaten black and blue she was beautiful(IN THE MOM WAY CALM YOURSELF!). "I'm off. You should be two. Don't wake him up though" I told her. She nodded pulling my head down kissing it softly. I smiled getting up walking out the door.
I started my walk listening to my music smiling happily. I hummed as I walked tapping my leg softly.
The air was cool and crisp making my pail cheeks a light pink. I wasn't cold usually but I had lost so much weight that now I was. I shivered slightly as car drove by. My music drowned then out though. My headphones where my only escape.
Even Once I reached the school I didn't slip them off. Rather I walked threw the empty halls with them still on my head. I saw no one until I turned the corner to my locker seeing my best friend ember (not amber or emerald) I smiled softly at her. "Hey dork" I said slipping off my headphones.
She smiled back at me tossing me a Apple. "Eat. You look like your dying" she chuckled.
I threw it right back shaking my head. "Wait. There going to go for my stomach and I'd rather not puke" I pointed out talking about Jamie and his little group. Jake, nick, and Alex. I was there favourite target.
She nodded putting it in her backpack. "I'm not letting you off though. Your eating" she hissed walking towards her locker a few feet over. I nodded in reply. I walked to my locker opening it quickly throwing my bag in. I grabbed my books standing next to my locker.
Ember gave me a sad smile as he ran off to student council. She was on the bored but that didn't give her much power. Never the less every one left her alone because she was on the bored. I waited patiently as my music played.
My alarm went off as the time turned to eight. I turned it off looking around the corner seeing Jamie, Jake, Nick, and Alex turn the corner. "Right on time I see" I smiled as they spotted me.
Jamie was never one to be late. He chuckled nodding. "Right you are" he smiled. Alex walked behind me chuckling. Jamie had is hair black in a hat as per usual. He was tall and built thanks to foot ball. Alex had his brown hair in a man bun again. He had the same body type but a little thinner and shorter. Jake and nick where twins. Thin and tall with brown hair. Freckles with strong legs. Soccer.
I sighed as jamie walked over. His fist collided with my face. I fell back only to be caught by Alex and thrown into Jamie's fists again. I almost fell but I caught myself. I looked up only to be punched a few more times. I didn't last. I tumbled over gasping. It wasn't over then. Jake and nick walked over starting to kick my torso continuously. My cuts and scrapes from last night burned but I didn't shed a tear.
I heated foot steps as all the hits stoped. I got to my knees looking up at the group. I face was bleeding and I knew it. I let out a breathy chuckle. "Same time tomorrow?" I asked. Jamie smirked nodding walking off. I hobbled to my feet walkin- limping over to the washroom. I entered noticing a pair of legs.
I grabbed a paper towel wetting in washing the blood off my face. I threw the towel in the trash looking at my distorted face. I groaned softly pressing my hand to my face. It wasn't always like this. I actually was liked. When I hit high school apparently I was considered hot. When word got out from a friend that I was gay it spread like wildfire. Everyone hated me. Accept for ember. She has been my best friend since preschool. She's basically my sister.
I was torn away from my thoughts as the bathroom stall opened. I looked over seeing, captain of the football team and hottest guy in school, Jerome Acei (I think I spelled the right). My eyes widened as he looked at me.
I walked out.
I couldn't deal with him today. Not any day. I'd rather watch him from a distance. I grabbed my books off the floor walking into homeroom. I slipped back on my headphones putting my head down on my desk.
//Time skip: End of day\\
I ran past the football field into the forest. I ran as fast as I could to the top of the highest tree, watching the football team practice. I watched as number 14 threw the ball. It swirled perfectly number 21 catching in running past three quarterbacks as they tried to tackle him. He just missed the last one hitting the end of the field. He jumped up and down in victory taking off his helmet. Jerome was smiling widely as he had finally did the drill perfectly. The captains praise seemed to help as well.
I watched as everyone left. Jerome looked towards the trees. I hid a bit further back trying to hide. I saw him shake his head walking towards the rest of the team. I smiled softly starting my way down the tree seeing ember tapping her foot. I cringed slightly hoping down next to her. "Hi?" I asked. She chuckled rolling her eyes pulling me towards her car.
I sighed smiling as I slipped into the passengers seat. She did the same starting the engine giggling softly. "I always know how to find you" she laughed.
I nodded. "It's the only time I can watch him without being 'creepy' or without him noticing" I huffed.
She nodded. "I understand. I mean have you seen faith. Shes QUALITY!" she chuckled. I laughed as we drove. Faith was a tall girl with brown hair that was clearly dyed black. You could see the brown roots but ember loved that. Faith was thin with large...chest and...behind? She was hour glasses shaped I guess. Ember on the other hand had short blue hair with blonde roots. He was short with no butt BUT! She had a nice waist. Her chest was well sized if she wasn't wearing a binder all the time. (She's not trans just gender fluid pansexual).
We pulled into her drive way both getting out. "Can I stay the night?" He asked. "Don't want to deal with Dad tonight" I sighed. Ember quickly nodded opening the door for us.
I smiled taking out my phone telling my mom before walking in.
