Lola's (POV)

I could feel tears start streaming down my cheeks. I quickly wipe them off. I place the note next to me and picked up the small box. It was about the the size of my hand which is pretty small, and it's wooden.

I open it to find my mother's old silver necklace that has a small guitar. I remembered how my mother would always wear this. She used to love it so much she wouldn't take it off. Before I let any other tears come out I put it back in the small wooden box, into the bigger box along with the letter and set it on my desk top.

I walk into my bathroom, turning it on, I strip my clothes off and got in. I spent about 30 mintues in there. When I come out I put on my pj's and lied on my bed putting on my headphones listening to ATL's Weightless. Later on drifting off into a deep sleep.

I wake up to something breaking. I quaikly get out of bed and head downs stairs. Darkness is all I see. I see the downstairs bathroom door ajar and a small light inside. I enter the bathroom to find the mirror above the sink broken. Blood everywhere.

"Oh look who the fuck is up you little slut." I hear a womans voice behind me. I turn around to find the one and only, Anna. My father's fucking whore girlfriend. She has long brown wavy hair like me but has darker brown eye color. People ask if shes my mother, before I could say no she cuts in and says that she is.

We look nothing alike just our hair is alike. She's 5'3 and I'm 5'5, I'm a lot taller then she is. Her skin color is darker then mine, like J Lo and I'm a lot more paler, like a vampire.

"what do you want Anna and why did you break the mirror?" I ask

"I needed to punch something so I imagined your face, now my hand hurts." She slurred looking down at her bloody knuckles.

"Are you drunk and where's my father" I ask worried

"Maybe a little and he's in bed sleeping."

"oh, ok. I'm going back to sleep." I yawned

"oh no you aren't missy, your going to fucking clean this shit up!" she yells

"What! Thats not fair you broke it so you clean it up!"

"Life isn't fair." She grined. "This better be cleaned up before I wake up in a few hours." she says with a evil smirk on her face.

With that she left the bathroom and enters my father's bedroom and closing the door behind her. I sigh as I walk out the bathroom passing the living room were the stairs are underneath is a small closet, like where Harry slept in the Harry Potter series. I pull out a broom and a dustpan.

I walk back to the bathroom and cleaned up all the broken glass. After that I put the broom and dustpan back and grabbed one of the bathroom's towel to wipe the blood.

Once when I'm done I put the bloody towel into the washer and head back upstairs to my room and once again fall asleep.

************

I stared up at the sun,
Thought of all of the people, places and things I've loved
I stared up just to see
With all the faces, you were the one next to me

You can feel the light start to tremble,
Washing what you know out to sea
You can see your life out of the window tonight

I groan into my pillow not wanting to open my eyes. I shut my alarm off and get out of bed. I strip off my pj's and put on black ripped skinny jeans and a white Tonight Alive tank, along with my black vans and lastly I wear my mothers old guitar necklace. I grab my stuff and quietly tip toed downstairs trying not to make any noise so neither both Anna or my father could hear. I quickly run to the front door and head outside.

Once when I get to school I sit down at one of the benches in front of the schools library. I sit quietly listening to the quiet wind blowing. I get goosebumps on my arms whenever the breeze of the wind hits me. I take out my journal from my backpack and start writing down my favorite lyrics from different songs.

Luke's (POV)

I for reason couldn't sleep last night. I keep thinking about Lola and that song. At the beginnings of the song it says that the young girl lost someone that she loved. He left her broken because she fell for him but he didn't. He just played her.

"Hey Luke, are you going to see that one girl today?" Ashton says making me snap out of my thoughts.

"Uh... Yea I am. Why?" I ask

"Just want to meet this young lady, that's all."

"Well you'll have to wait. She's shy and doesn't really like people that much."

"Ok fine but I'm going to meet her sooner or later."

"Yeah, ok. Whatever. Have a nice day with the other idiots"

"Your an idiot too, not just us." He fires back making me laugh

After my conversation with Ashton I head out of the hotel into a rental car that we got and drove to Lola's school. When I get there, I see her sitting alone on a bench focused in her writing. I start walking to her when five girls walk pass Lola and the tallest burnet says something that make all of the other girls laugh but makes Lola angry. I walk closer trying to hear what there're saying to her.

"Seriously, you have a fucking journal? Let me guess you write about how muck you hate your life don't you? Or is it how your going to turn out like your mom, dead." she says laughing and everyone else joins her.

"Leave me alone Trisha." Lola says coldly

"Why don't you make me cunt" Trisha says back

"Nice necklace. Where did you get it? At the 99cent store?"

"No, it was my mothers." Lola says looking down at the ground.

"Oh well in that case I want it." Lola looks up at Trisha about to say something but instead Trisha yanks Lola's necklace, drops it on the ground and walks away. Lola puts her journal in her backpack and pulls out a small wooden box. She picks up her necklace and places it in the box. About to say something to her I get stopped by Katie, the one that works in the office.

"Hello Luke. Surprise to see you here, but if you want to stay around you need to come with me"

"Ok" She takes me into the schools office where I have to sign in into a binder saying that I'm a visiter. I get a name tag and a pen to write my name on it. After being done with that stuff, about to head outside to talk with Lola, the school bell rings. Great now I'm gonna have to wait.
