Fall For Me (On Hold)

Chapter 1

Megan's POV

I was still staring at the ceiling when my alarm went off for my first day at school. Damn it, I had to go to school, rolling over I buried my face in the pillow thinking about how messed up my life is. If you saw me right now you would think that my life was perfect, I had a nice family, a nice house and a nice well... everything, but the truth is so much more complicated and so much darker than it seems. I was just starting to drift off into a nice relaxing sleep when a vicious pounding on my door woke me up once again

"Oh my poor door, the beatings you will have to take every day from now on"

I thought as I lay there hoping that the pounding will stop, but no, it kept on going and getting louder with each passing minute.

"FINE I'M GETTING UP, SHEESH!" I yelled, hoping that the pounding will stop and thank the lord it did. Groaning I rolled over in my bed and once again, miss-calculated where the edge of the bed was. I landed on the floor with a very loud thump that echoed through the whole house, great now wait for it... 3, 2, 1.

"Honey, are you okay? Do you need us to come up there?" And there it was.

"No mom, I'm fine I just rolled out of bed." I yelled back

"I think we could tell." The deep rumble of my father's voice echoed throughout the house, after my father's comment, you could hear the booming laughter of my father and the sweet laughter of my mother which always reminded me of wind chimes. Shaking my head I rolled onto my back and stretched feeling to cold wooden floor, pressing against my skin and then it hit me like a tonne of bricks.

I was starting school for the first time in America and it was it going to be so damn different. I have to get through this year without any extra drama. Running my hands through my dark brown hair, I stood up and slowly made my way to the bathroom to do get ready for the hell hole that is awaiting me.

A couple of minutes later...

I stood in front of my full length mirror and looked at myself, I had straight thick dark brown hair that I normally wore out but today I had up in a high pony tail, my eyes, which were normally a dark green were a bright blue, due to my contacts, and my usually pale skin stood out. I don't know how but my body had somehow kept an athletic build even though I hadn't done any exercise in goodness knows how long and I wore nerdy glasses even though I don't need them. I quickly turned my head and saw that the sun was out and shining even though I wished that it would be raining or even snowing, call me strange but I hate the summer. I started to think back into my past when I shuddered and pushing those unwanted thoughts to the back of my head . I looked at the clothes that I was wearing, I had gone with some oldish boy-friend jeans and a black tank top with a big black Adidas jumper. Fiddling with the silver chain around my neck I looked down at my black, scruffy converses that had been with me since the very start. Looking at my reflecting in wonder, I saw nothing of the old me, the person who used to wear short shorts and mid-riff tops, I truly looked like a nerd. When I lifted up my tank top and jumper, the stark light of my room made my faint scars that criss-crossed my legs and arms shine, shivering my hand flew to my stomach where it trailed along a scar that went from my right top rib down to my left hip, even after all these years it was still red and shiny.

I stood there staring, transfixed upon the scar that still hadn't healed like the rest of my scars when I heard my mother shouting that it was time to go to school. Rushing away from the mirror I grabbed my school bag and raced down the stairs. Jumping the last couple of stairs I strolled into the kitchen, dumped my bag on the floor and started to eat my breakfast. Shovelling the food into my mouth as fast I can I didn't notice my mom talking to me until she took my food away from me. "Hey I was eating that." I whined reaching for my food again. Laughing she shook her head.

"Darling I think you had enough to eat already, you will be sick if you eat anymore. Anyway don't you want to drive your baby." On the second she said drive my head shot up and I stopped trying to get my food back (food is a very important thing to me so don't judge). I smile spread so far across my face my cheeks started hurting.

"OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG. You are actually finally going to let me drive my baby."

When my mother nodded I squealed so loud and started dancing around the table, as you might want to know my baby is my red Volkswagen beetle convertible. I gotten that car a few months after I turned 15 but my parents said I could only drive it when I turned 16, but I was turning 16 in a couple of months. Only my mom shaking the keys to my baby stopped my dancing, squealing again I rushed forward grabbed the keys and gave my mum a hug. "Thank you so much mom." With that I rushed out the door before she could even utter a single word.

==================================

"I'm walking down the line

that divides me somewhere in my mind

on the border line

of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines

what's fucked up and everything's alright

Check my vital signs

to know I'm still alive and I walk alone

Yeah, sue me, I like green day. So what?

I was still belting out the lyrics to Boulevard of Broken Dreams, when I drew into the school car park; the butterflies that I had forgotten about came back in full force, pulling the keys out of the ignition I rested my head against the steering wheel and took deep slow breaths to stop the panic attack I knew was coming. After about 4 deep breaths someone started banging on the car window, looking up I glared at the person banging on my window my I quickly changed my expression to one of puzzlement, knowing I couldn't be fiery and bossy like I normally am, I had to be shy, quiet and a pushover for my own sake. I slowly got out of my car keeping my face towards the ground and quietly shuffled to whoever the person was, just as I started to look up I got pushed into my car and slapped across the face, the girl's mouth was moving but I couldn't hear what she was saying, tears started welling in my eyes as a memory invaded my thoughts.

*FLASHBACK*

I placed my hand in front of me as I fell to the floor, the jarring impact sent pain flashing through my body. Rolling over I stood up and cradled my now broken wrist, salty tears fell mingling with the blood that covered my face, a slight gasp left my mouth as I backed away in fear when I felt 'His' hands touch me, only seconds later did I realise my mistake.

"What did I tell you about being scared of me?"

His cold hard voice cut through my thoughts and I looked up into his cold brown eyes, he was eerily calm and I know that it was always calm before the storm. Closing my eyes I looked away again only to be met my his hand on my cheek leaving a dull stinging pain, knowing the worst was to come I didn't do anything and just stood there with my eyes closed waiting for the beating to come. Normally he only used his fists, so naturally I screamed when I felt the cold feeling of a blade cut from my top right ribs down to my left him. The burning pain was cooled but the numbness that signified unconsciousness and I slipped away into darkness.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

Gasping I pushed the girl away and fell to my knees, the tears were now running loose down my face, I tried wiping them away but to no avail because they just kept on coming back. As I crouched on the ground sobbing I heard a guy's voice this time deep and husky that sent shivers down my spine, looking up I saw the most gorgeous guy I had ever seen, with bright green eyes and brown hair he simply took my breath away but my breath quickly came back when I saw him put his arm around the girl (I don't even know her name) and also when I heard his next words "come darling, she's just another pathetic nerd who isn't worth our time, come on look at her." With that he simply walked away leaving me lying on the ground trying to bare the mocking laughter from my school.
