How We Met

Chapter 1

"Alright, where do you guys want to go out to eat?", Mom asked as we drove down the road.

"I don't care where we go.", mom's roommate said.

"Subway!", my younger sister cheered.

"I'll have K.O. Burger. I don't really want something cold.", I said.

"Alright, Subway it is.", My mom said, my sister smiled, "What does everyone want?"

I didn't bother to say anything. I wasn't hungry anyway. I sighed and looked down at my wrist. I had thought about self harm many times in the past year but never actually physically did anything. I even thought about going to the police and saying I was a danger to myself. The only problem is, the nearest police station is another town over.

I had to go to school tomorrow and I wasn't looking forward to it.

-next morning-

I reached for my phone and turned off my 7 o'clock alarm. I grabbed my Ipad, school issued, and set it in my bag. I grabbed last night's homework and shoved it in my bag along with my binder. I went to my room I shared with my sister and grabbed my clothes before heading to the bathroom to change.

Once dressed, I put my shoes on. 7:34. I grab some breakfast which consisted of an apple. I took a bite as my phone rang. Mom.

"Hello?", I answered.

"Hi, Rose. I won't be home in time to take you to school so you'll have to ride the bus.", Mom says, "I got to go, bye."

She hung up and I sighed. Same old. By the time I finished eating breakfast, it was 7:45. I walked over to the bathroom and grabbed my hairbrush.

"You almost ready? It's past 7:40.", I told my younger sister.

"Yeah, I got it. Don't rush me.", she growled.

"Sorry I said anything.", I muttered, "I'm leaving. Make sure the dog gets in the kennel when you leave and make sure the house is locked."

I swung my bag over my shoulder and headed out toward my bus stop. One block. Two blocks. Three blocks. Just in time. The bus came shortly after and I got on. I pulled my phone out of my pocket.

'Morning.' - Chey

'Morning. Sorry I didn't get your message until now.' - Rose

'That's fine.' - Chey

I plugged in my earbuds and listened to music on the way to the school. Not long after, the bus stopped and everyone piled out. I walked straight to my math class. The five minute bell rang just as I entered the classroom. I took my seat and started on my review sheet. Before I knew it, the bell rang signaling class was over.

-lunch-

"Hey, Chey. What are you getting?", I asked, hiding my depression.

"Either the Orange chicken or the pizza.", Chey answers.

"Well, I know where I'm going. See you at the table.", I waved and walked into the pizza line.

When I got my food, I sat down at my usual spot. Chey came shortly after.

"So, what's new with you?", Chey asked.

"Nothing much. I'm getting my permit soon.", I smile, "You?"

"I have a new job. I'm mowing the lawn in the spring and summertime for my allowance.", Chey answered.

-end of school-

I got on my bus and headed home. The ride seemed extra quiet and extra long today. I got off at my stop and walked home. I quietly opened the door. The house was quiet. I set my bag down and heard the dog whining in her kennel. I thought at least someone would be home by now. I looked at my phone and seen I had a text from mom.

"I went to the store with your sister. Take care of the dog." - mom

I put my phone in my pocket and left the house. It's times like this that I really enjoy. The outdoors. I started walking my usual route. I stopped at a park and watched the children play. They were so free. I felt like I was chained to the ground with no means of escape.

I walked back home and seen my mom's roommate's car in the driveway. I wanted to keep walking, to never return home. But I couldn't. I was chained.

Megatron POV

"Lord Megatron, we have located the human. Soundwave is going to pick her up as we speak.", Knockout smirked.

"I have no doubt that Soundwave will complete his mission. Unlike you two failures.", I growled.
