Last Chance?

Prologue

This is the longest prologue you will ever read, haha, but it does give you the basis of the story. Hope you enjoy it! :)) xx.

**********************************************************************************

Louis and I have been friends for 11 years. It all started when we were 7 years old. I was sitting in a park alone, crying my eyes out when a 7 year old boy decided to sit with me. I turned and saw a goofy face on the boy's face, which made me giggle.

"I knew I could make your pretty face smile!" he said with a huge grin. "Now, what is a girl like you, sitting in a lonely park on a bench, crying your eyes out?"

"Oh. I don't think you want to hear my problems..." I said shyly. He took my hand, my first reaction was to flinch and pull away. When I did, he grabbed it again and held on a little tighter.

"Whoever you are, I would like to hear your problems. If that meant you having to smile on your face after, it's worth it." the strange boy said with a smile.

I don't know if I should trust him. He might not see me again, so, why not? At least I have someone to tell my story.

I nodded and told him about the girls in my neighborhood. They would pick on me and occasionally would beat me up. I showed him the bruises on my body from them. I also told him about how my parents wouldn't believe me about the bullying and after my mom goes to bed, my dad beats me for lying. By the end of my story, I was crying, much harder than before. The stranger let go of my hand and wrapped his arms around me, embracing me with a hug I always needed.

I let go of the hug and looked into his blue-green eyes. It was full of sadness, sympathy, and, most importantly, rage.

"My name is Louis. And I promise it won't ever happen again." Louis said with his hand out.

"Don't make promises you can't keep." I replied. He nodded and instead of shaking his hand, I hugged him. At first he was shocked form my sudden action but melted into it and hugged back.

I let go of his hug, turned, and walked away.

"Hey!" I turned around to see Louis standing up, "You didn't tell me your name!" He shouted at me.

"Jamie!" I shouted back.

"Jamie." he said quietly. "Meet me here tomorrow, same time!" I quickly nodded and walked away.

****************************************************

For the next month, we met at the park always talking with each other. Suddenly, the girls that would bully me, followed me to meet Louis. Everyday, rain or shine, I noticed they would see me and watch me go by.

When they saw Louis walk up to me, they ran towards us and pushed me down and started talking to Louis and asking him all these questions.  Everytime I would try and get up, someone would push me back down. Louis ignored all of them and helped me up. I had scrapes on my hands and knees. Louis took me to his house to clean up my wounds. When I met his family, they all welcomed me with open arms.

We decided everyday, Louis would come to my house and walk me to his house and talk there, sometimes even stay over. We would share the same bed and just talked until we slept. My dad never suspected my friendship with Louis. He always thought I needed alone time.

All this time it was summer break, I had to go back to school. Louis and I haven't talked about school when we were together, until the day before I had to go back. Louis was happy I was going to school the next day, but I had no idea why. On the first day of school, I walked in to the classroom and noticed a brown haired boy in the corner of the room, with his head down.
