His Misunderstood Mute

°•°chapter 1°•°

*Cassidy's Pov*

I wake up to the sound of glass shattering. I role over, inwardly  groaning as I glance at the clock. 4:36 A.M. I immediately tense up as I hear my brothers door slam open. That's when I hear it. the thing that my father never once said to either of us in our entire life. "I'm sorry."

I hurriedly jump out of bed and rush to my brothers room, knowing somethings up. I burst through the door to see my father pointing a gun at my brothers head. "NO! PLEASE! DONT HURT HIM ILL DO ANYTHING I SWEAR! PLEASE ILL SELL THE DRUGS! I'LL LIE TO THE COPS! ILL EVEN KEEP LYING TO VERONICA! PLEASE DADDY JUST LET HI-" I yell but am interrupted by my father's voice.

"SHUT UP! SAY ONE MORE WORD EVER AGAIN AND ILL KILL HIM THEN AND THERE! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!"My father continues with a string of cuss words.

We stand there like that for a good 20 minutes, my brother frozen with fear, my father stone faced and emotionless, and me trying to convince my nine year old mind that my brother will live, when something flashes in my father's eyes- guilt. Im confused for a second until he turns the gun to face himself, pressing it against his chin.

He looks me dead in the eye as he says his last words, "Its all you're fought you know? You and you're stupid resemblance to her. You even have her voice."

Then he pulled the trigger.

I look at my brother to find him already looking at me. "Cassie... Cassie... CASSIE!!!!"

I bolt up and jump out of my bed, only to trip over my sheets and fall straight on my face.

Instead of getting up I just lay there sobbing silently with my face burried into the carpet.

My brother, Jace, comes over and pulls me into his arms and rocks me back and forth slowly. "Were you remembering again?" He asks, visibly shuddering.

I nod my head and think of anything to distract myself. I glance at the clock in my room and it reads 5:56A.M

I inwardly groan and smile sheepishly at J and he gets the message and gets out of my room so I can get ready for another long day at school.

After showering quickly I dont bother with makeup and run a brush through my straight, brown, waist lenght, overall boring hair, before tying it up into worlds messiest bun.

I head over to my closet and grab a pair of dark jeans ripped at the knees off the floor and smell them before deciding their clean. I know what your thinking- Ew. But hey my lazy butt is to lazy to clean.

Grabbing a red t shirt with the Coca-Cola logo on I get dressed and grab my phone. I head down the stairs and glance at the time on the stove. 6:24. I flop on the couch and shut my eyes until I have to leave.

Two minutes later my brother screams at me to get my fat, lazy, butt up. I glance down at my phone only to see its 7:56. School starts at 8:00 and its at least a 10 minute drive.

I throw on my combat boots and leather jacket and let my hair fall down. I grab my school bag and walk out the door.

My idiot of a brother is wearing pretty much the same thing just his shirt is white and his jeans aren't ripped.

Hes already on his bike and he tosses my keys and i hop on mine.
We put on our helmets and without a word we turn on our bikes and he holds up his fingers.

We take off racing towards our school. I let him think he was gonna win but just as we are at the school entrance, I zoom ahead and cut through crazy school traffic. Dodging cars left and right , i beat him parking in his spot since there's a white jeep parked in mine.

I cut my bike off and frown at the jeep only to see it full with a group of boys. The driver gets out with his jaw drooping to the floor. The other four get out mirroring his expression.

My brother pulls his bike in the space in front of me. And cuts his off. We look at each other and nod. And at the exact time we take off our helmets and the guys jaws drop even further to the ground as they stare at us.

I turn to put my helmet away and grab my school bag. I hear one of them whisper to the other, "Damn  shes hot."

By now my brothers standing next to me and we whirl around at the exact same time. I look at the guy who the comment came from and walk slowly toward him.

As I get closer he smirks and leans in. But before he could come closer I punch him in the jaw. Not hard enough to break it but hard enough to bruise it.

I hear my brother chuckle as i walk back to him. "Oww. Damn she hits hard." He groans in pain. I smirk and my brother throws his arm around my shoulders.

"Bro. That's her punching lightly. You dont wanna see her punch hard." My brother says. The guy eyes go wide and i smirk again before we strut off. My brother kisses me on the temple and i look up at him confused. He just winks and looks back at the guys. He stops and says pointedly to the driver, " If that jeep is in her spot tomorrow your dead bro." And with that we walk into the school.

We were only late by like two minutes so I took my time grabbing my crap from my locker. I slam my locker and guess which five idiots walk through the school doors lost in conversation.

"Dude. That girl was badass." They all stop when they notice me. I smirk again and turn around and strut towards the gym, swinging my hips a   little.

As im walking to the gym I see my brother making out with some poor innocent girl. Disgusted I walk faster.
I enter the gym and Coach P. Yells at me to get changed. I flip her off but head towards the changing rooms anyways.

I come back out to see five smirking idiots. How did they all get the same class. Im guessing their new for two reasons...
1. They parked in my spot. No one park's in my spot. NO one

2. They don't know who I am. And even though im a junior im still one of the most known people in school. Not exactly popular cause i have one friend. And we're related. What can I say I dont like people.

They all stand there staring at me as if im a piece of meat. All of sudden two of then came at me. Lucky for me they charged from the side. I grabbed then by their hair and slammed their heads together.

They fell to the floor in a daze. I didn't even have to move my feet for that one. I raise a challenging eyebrow at the other three. One charged at me from the front and i kicked his feet out from underneath him only to notice one guy standing there.

I quickly did a spinning kick to the guy coming from behind knocking him out completely. Hes the one I punched earlier.

And then there was one.

I looked at the last guy and recognized him as the driver. He came up to me but before could touch me I elbowed him in the gut. With a grunt he stumbled but didn't fall so I grabbed his shoulders and kneed him where the doesn't shine. Hard.

I realized a small crowd has gathered as well as the very angry  principal. He pointed for me to follow him. But Instead of following him immediately I walked back to the locker rooms and changed into my regular clothes. I walked out to see all five guys standing even though the one I knocked out still looked dazed.

I follow the principal to his office.
