Sleeping Sickness ✖ Luke Hemmings

0.2

She'd woken up from another one of her terrible misery. Her dried tears still stained on her face and the fresh blood had dried up over night. She groaned. Her back hurts like shit and her eyes puffed from crying so much. 

She got up, cleaned up her wound and applied concealer carefully so no one would notice and took a long warm shower to help her get through the day. After she was done in the bathroom, she walked out to her room to find that it was 7:30, which gives her a good 30 minutes before going to the hell hole once again. She changed into her ripped blue jeans, nirvana tank top and a cozy beige jumper before going down stairs. 

As she expected, wine bottles were smashed onto the floor while the wine dried on the wooden floor. vases were scattered all around the floor and there was her Mother lying on the couch with her famous vodka wrapped with her in her arms. Bruised was an understatement. Her body was purple and Eleanor could just feel how numb she is just looking at her. 

Eleanor sighed. She was used to this happening everyday for 2 months. She walked over to her Mother and took the bottle of vodka out of her arms then covered her Mother with a blanket. 

She walked to the kitchen and turned on the TV quietly without waking her Mom up because her Mom with a hangover is like fucking zombie apocalypse. She grabbed her cheerios and quietly munched on it while watching an interview with this new band, 5 seconds of summer. They're really good at singing and they're good looking too. She had that feeling whenever she heard them on the radio or watch them on the television, she always feels like she knows them. It feels like a weird de ja vu kinda thing that she can't really point her fingers on what happened.  The one with blond hair defiantly caught her attention. She feels like she knows him more than others.    She put her cheerios away and started to walk to school. 

School wasn't that far from her house, 10 minutes of so. Eleanor noticed there was a crowd around the field which wasn't usual for a Wednesday morning like this. She heard screaming and guitar strumming. Out of curiosity, she found herself walking towards the crowd to find 5 seconds of summer. Holy shit. What were they doing at this old high school? She tried to squeeze her small body past the crowd but was shoved back by some people who thought they were the kings and queens of the school. Like honestly, why are they so desperate? They always torment her. She doesn't know why though. After she came back to school 2 months ago, everyone who she didn't know glared at her and threw hurtful words towards her. She didn't know any of them but they claimed she knows them. Every day she was shoved against the lockers. She was tired of it, but what can she do. 

"Wow guys look, this bitch trying to get through our crowed," Katy Padderns sneers while all her minions laughed along. They completely ignored the 'mini concert' and turned their attention to Eleanor. They pushed her back and made her fall bum first. Eleanor tried to hide the shame and started to get up and walk away but her hair was pulled back causing her to shriek. She turned back to find more eyes staring at her and laughing at how pathetic she looks. She didn't even realized the music stopped playing. 

"Hey El, did you kill someone like you killed your brother," Tom Wells, the 'king' of senior class.

Eleanor felt her eyes starting to well up and glanced down to the grass, wincing whenever Katy's stupid hands tugged on her pony tails. 

"Stop this bullshit right now," THE HOT BLONDE HAIR GUY FROM 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER. exclaimed helping her out of Katy's grasp and gently dragged her. She heard faint sounds of people gasping and gossiping all the way to god's knows where they're going.

They stopped at the parking lot and found that the whole 5 seconds of Summer is here. She can't help but fangirl. 

"Oh my gosh, El! I missed you so fucking much!" The, I assumed kiwi guy??? Hugged her tightly as she got confused as how he misses her and calls her El even though they don't even know each other. 

The others also took turn and hugged El as they said along the lines that they missed her. The only who didn't hug and talked to El was the hot blonde hair guy. He just stared at her with hurt flashed across his eyes. 

They boys looked confused as why El didn't return the friendly hug and friendly remarks back to them like she did 4 months ago. 

"Uh well I don't know how you guys know my name or missed me but I really like your band! Omg you're all so good!" El can't but fangirled even though she doesn't even know their names. 

The boys shared a weird look together. 

"Great joke El but what was that back there?" The boy with the greenish hair asked.

El was confused." Um, I don't remember telling a joke but I really want a photo with you guys because your famous and shit." 

"Eleanor. You know us. Right?" The kiwi boy stared at her. 

"Yea of course, your 5sos right. I'm sorry I'm not a true fan. What are your names again?" She asked dumb folded of the whole situation. 

"What the fuck Eleanor! That's not fucking funny." The blond hair who finally talked, shook both of her arms. Eleanor can't help but feel uneasy.

"I-I-I 'm sorry, I really don't know who you are. I mean I know you're 5 seconds of summer if that is what you're asking me ," Eleanor stuttered.

The blond hair boy's eyes went from angered to glossy and dropped his hands from her arms. He ran his hands through his blond hair and stormed away. The others looked at Eleanor in concerned but followed the blonde hair by leaving Eleanor shocked and alone.
