Taken Back

Prolouge

I should've seen it coming if we were being honest nothing lasts forever and one thing I've learnt is that you must be strong not show your emotions and never ever let anyone too close because that's what ends up destroying you. It should be noted that I didn't to listen to my own advice my life hasn't been easy far from it it's been pure hell my parents died ,someone shot them all because they didn't pay the rent money on time I was only 13 and I had to move away and be adopted which was also hell because no one actually wanted me so I had to stay at a girls hostel and of course no one liked me there either. After spending two years there (I turned 14 that very year ) I was finally 16 and went to live on my own in a much nicer area. I got a part time job because unfortunately for me I couldn't leave school as its against the law here until I'm 18 so I was in my first senior year of high school , I didn't have any friends  because people never spoke to me . I don't know why but on this one particular day something felt different I had a feeling something was gonna happen but what I couldn't tell you. I walked into school as usual headphones plugged in music loud my favourite band Rise Against was currently playing this band has helped me through everything without them I don't know where I'd be probably dead . I couldn't be bothered going to class, there was no point because no one cared if I attended and I had no one to sit with so I just didn't see the point. I was heading to my favourite spot that no one knew about or went to within the school when suddenly I heard loud footsteps behind me I froze , luckily I was near some trees so I leaned against the branch closest to the wall I put my music on pause and held my breath. Once I was sure that no one was around or could hear me I let out a sigh of relief because the last thing I wanted to do was explain why I was wagging class , however that relief was very short lived.       " I knew someone was there you know hiding doesn't help when I already saw you " a voice says the tone is full of amusement well I'm glad they find it funny (Sarcasm) . "And why would you care what difference does it make ? " I snap I'm annoyed I don't know why this person cares they don't even know me no one does. "It's not a matter of me caring it's me being curious I never see anyone come this way so I assumed this was my spot. " "You assumed wrong " I'm about to say that I thought or "assumed" that this was MY spot but suddenly my breath catches as a guy around my age emerges from the tiny little corner he had been standing in , dark straight hair with a flipped fringe and clear blue eyes met my own slightly darker blue ones he has snakebites and a black lose tshirt and dark skinny jeans and black shoes to match I've never seen this guy around before so I'm wondering if he's new. "Jasper " he simply says I look at him confused before realising that he was telling me his name. "Ruby" I reply. I'm very thankful that I didn't stutter or anything else that would classify as stupid because this guy is cute I'm not going to lie to myself it's true. "So Ruby care to tell me why you were hiding ?" Jasper asks he's straight to the point I like that wait ..what am I saying I don't even know him I shouldn't think that. "Oh.. I didn't want to get caught by anyone I always come here I hardly go to class there's no point since no one cares if I go or not " I say casually. " I see and I'm sorry to hear that I thought you were new here since I didn't see you in any classes or seen you until now and for the record in case your wondering I'm not new either I've been here for awhile like 2 years " he says back. His voice is sorta deep but still young sounding it's cute like the rest of him ahh! Wait again wtf am I thinking? Stop it Ruby it's not like he'd be into you even if he looks like the type that would listen to punk and metal bands like you you're so plain compared to all the other girls in this school not even people who are similar to you want to hang out with you. "I was wondering actually just now if you were new or not so thanks for clearing that up " I finally respond, Jasper nods. "So what are you listening to ? " he asks pointing to my phone with my headphones attached to it , he gives me a small smile and I have to remind myself again that it doesn't mean anything. "Oh Rise Against they are my favourite band " I press play and take my headphones out so that Jasper can hear the music too. " I've never heard of them
tbh " he says "but they sound good" I look at him shocked and that's how my first encounter with Jasper went and I didn't even realise that it was just the start of many more problems. A/N: Soooooo very long prologue but it was necessary for the story to begin it shows you what Ruby has already gone through and also shows you her first ever encounter with Jasper ! There is not too much drama or mature content In this chapter but it'll be coming very soon for the first chapter we will still be 5 years back in time but the other chapters will be in the present . I really hope you enjoy the story as always Rock on! \m/
