Luke P.O.V - September 2013

A few weeks I got beat up again, but this time it was worse, I got stabbed. The last words I heard before I blanked out were "Die you fucking nerd", these words circle my mind and cause me deep distress, triggering my new found anger problems. Some nights I'd find myself smash plates against the wall while I hear my mum whimpering on the staircase trying to keep out of my way. I didn't want to hurt her, I loved her but I just couldn't help it. A few days later my mum had enrolled me in some anger management classes which continue once a week until half way through October, if I'm good. I was sick of being the nerd, so I changed everything about myself, my style, my attitude, my personality. I'm not getting stabbed again.

A few days before school restarted there was this massive party with all the popular kids across the town, my new found confidence needed to be tested out somewhere and boy was I lucky.The alcohol kept pouring down my throat and I hooked up with at least 6 girls, I also made some new friends, Ashton, Calum and Michael, they were such nice people, the next few days leading up to school they invited me round to theirs and out to places, I finally found somewhere I belong.

On the first day back Ally was acting really weird, I guess she didn't like my new style? I didn't want to be the nerd that crushes her chance of a social life. We were best friends but I didn't like her in that way, but maybe Ashton did, or was it Calum?

October 2013

The boys (Ashton, Calum and Michael) had brought me to this weird warehouse thing, we met outside Ashton's house and he blindfolded me and shoved me in the back of his car, not saying a word. I began to struggle and started kicking

"Stop struggling you dumbass, we are only blindfolding you because we can't show you where you are going, we can only tell you if you agree" Calum hissed.

Why where they being so mean? Don't cry Luke, don't be a pussy.

"Agree to what" I said trying to hide the fear in my voice

Calum just laughed and the rest if the car journey was deathly silent.

The blindfold was removed from my eyes to a dimly light room with boxes and old sofas etc dotted around.

"What the hell is going on, where am I" I yelled.

Ashton : "Luke just shut up, unless you want to be shot"

Me : "Shot?! What the actual hell, I want to leave" I began to walk forward to find an exit but Calum's hand pushed me back against my chest, god that boy is strong.Michael was laid on a couch in the corner texting some girl probably, not giving one shit about the situation.

"Just wait here for our boss, we aren't going to hurt you so stop whining Luke" Calum laughed.

"Word of warning" Ashton started "Our Boss is a bit cranky, don't give him any sass or he will kill you on sight, we are only here to make you an offer, he's called John but the way, John Delf"

A few moments later a tall grey haired man stepped out of the shadows, what the fuck, was he here the whole time?!

"Is this him" John spoke softly

"Yep this is Luke" Ashton gulped

He walked around me slowly and spoke quietly " Do you know why you are here Luke"

"No Sir" I replied and Calum sniggered, John then swiftly smacked Calum around the head whilst murmuring the words "be quiet fool" and Calum walked off over to Michael whilst rubbing his head where he got hit.

John: "Luke I have a proposal for you, you work for me and I will pay you £10,000, you don't work for me and I shoot you in the head right here and go and torture your family, also Calum here will loose a hand"

Calum: "WHAT, why me?!"

John : "because you are a whiny little bitch now shutup and sit down"

Calum : " I'm already sat down" he murmured

John : "HAND"

Calum soon shut up at the thought if his hand being chopped off

I then decided to speak up and show my assertiveness, "S-so what do you want me to do"

John : " Well there is this man who owes me a lot of money, he took something precious from me, he arrested my son for manslaughter and he got sentenced to death, I miss him deeply but I need revenge, I'm going to take something from him, I'm going to take his daughter"

"Who is this man, what have I got to do with this" I spoke harshly

John : "Well this man is Simon O'Brien and his daughter is called Allison O'Brien"
