Emery's POV 😁

I laid on my bed staring at my white ceiling, day dreaming. Alex popped into my mind, she was truly beautiful, grey eyes, dark brown wavy hair, light freckles, cute pixie nose with has a stud.

I really wanted her to like me, I know she already likes me but in that way? I'm stuck in the godforsaken place called the friendzone aren't i?

I pushed the thoughts to the back of my brain not wanting to get more frustrated than i already am about school. So i thought about where mom is right now.

Mom had gone out on a business trip with her boss yesterday, yeah I know what that actually means. She's a secretary, pretty and her boss is rich and handsome. Cliché right? She has no reason to go away with him. I just wish she wouldn't lie to us, just say your going away with your boyfriend mom.

She's has never been the same since dad left, she's still a great mom, but behind the smile there is sadness in her eyes.

See, dad cheated on mom with her sister, Aunt Silvie. Mom pretended like nothing was wrong, like she knew nothing about it, so that she could try and keep our family together. Obviously that didn't work since one day she just couldn't take it anymore, she threw him out and he blamed us for everything. Mom doesn't talk to either of them, neither do we.

My mother is a is very strong woman, i really do love her but she doesn't see that Jessie and i need her. She works all the time, and she is rarely around. I don't say anything because I know she needs the money. I have a job as a waiter in the mall to help her out even though it's not much money, every little helps. Jessie can't work, he is too busy with exams, trying to get into college and working on his football scholarship. Plus he had tried to apply for one (against moms wishes) and hasn't been accepted from any of them.

The alarm went off, 8:00, but of course i was already awake, i put my arms behind my head and sighed, i really didn't feel like school today. I could barely sleep last night just thinking about it, lets just say school and i dont get along. Also after a long summer, i have happily settled into a routine of sleeping in, swimming, listening to music and messing around.

People don't really notice me at school, the ones who do are just assholes. I have definetly expirienced bullying. Jessie is there for me, but he can't protect me 24/7. Actually i need to ask Jessie if he needs the car after football practice today. I scurried into the bathroom and jumped in the shower. I wrapped a soft towel round my waist and quickly threw on a pair of dark grey skinny jeans, a black shirt and one of my hoodies. I looked at myself in the mirror and just ran a hand through my messy hair, i wasn't ugly, but i was not considered a bloody god like my brother. I'm a bit dorky and i guess thats as good as its going to get. I walked to Jessies room and opened the door without knocking. It's usually locked anyway, this time it surprisingly wasn't so I stumbled into the room. After catching myself I looked at the shocking scene in front of me.

My eyes widened and i felt as if my heart had been smashed and shattered into thousands of pieces. I gasped at the sight in front of me, Jessie was holding Alex close to him, she wrapped her arms round his neck and leaned in. I squeezed my eyes shut as if to block out the image. Turning around, I harshly slammed the door. How could they?! i told Jessie last night that l liked her and he fucking went and did what ever that was. My heart beat sped up, my brain was spinning I ran back to my room.
