Everything from Nothing

Chapter 1

'I thought I would start writing this diary kinda thing! So when I'm older I can see all the awesome things that happened in my childhood! All the friends I hang out with and all that!

Anyway, today, after having a massive lunch, I hung out with Cordie and Kelly, we were playing truth or dare! I was dared to kiss Chester, one of the school nerds! Then, Nathan got jealous and asked me out!!! AND I SAID YES We are officially goin.......'

Who am I kidding? My life is crap! I only started writing that because I thought maybe, just maybe, if I did, I could fool myself into thinking my life was amazing. If only if only...

I don't belong with the cool kids, like Cordellia and Kelly. I'm not popular at all. I don't belong with with the clever people either, like Chester and Dave. I don't belong anywhere.

I had one friend, Sadie. She was brilliant! She was beautiful and intelligent and always stuck up for me... but she's.... she's... gone. 

So now I have no friends, no happiness, no hope.

When I got home, I managed to avoid my brother, I don't even want to think about him.

Now I'm sitting in my room, reading. Thinking about what it would be like to just give up on life and live in a book instead.

I put my headphones on and listen to music. I'm listening to Ed Sheeran. He's the BEST singer in the universe! I especially love his song A Team! I have the volume up really loud, so I can't hear anything else from the real world and for a moment, just a moment, I forget my life, and just get carried away in music. I feel free, listening to the heart melting symphonies. But it's just too good to be true. I suddenly feel a strike of pain in my left cheek, my head jolts and my headphones fall off. I'm grabbed by the collar of my dirty school shirt that I haven't yet changed out of, and am slammed into the wall.

"Don't you dare ignore me!" He spits as he says it through gritted teeth. "I asked you a question, I expect and answer!" He's still pinning me against the wall.

"I... I... I'm s...s...sorry, wh....what did you, what did you ask?" I'm suddenly thrown onto the wooden floor, my head hitting it hard, making me cry.

"Awwww, are you gonna cry, like a little cry baby?" he teases. "GET UP! I asked, for the headphones!"

"Oh. R...Right. I... Please no," I whisper.

"Pardon? I didn't hear you!"

"They're my only means of escape!" I say wanting to shout, but restraining myself.

He kicks my shin, and I fall to the floor, gripping my lower leg.

"I asked nicely," he grips my t-shirt, pulling me towards him, then releases as his fist contacts my eye, throwing me to floor yet again, "Now lets try again."

He leaves me on the floor, bleeding, collects my headphones from beside me and slams the door when he exits.

Yes, there's something you should know about me. I'm 14, I like reading and I like music. I live in Hemel Hempstead and I'm abused by my brother.
