Calum's POV
"Calum you need community service hours it looks good for college." I hear my mum call up the stairs.
"You find something for me to do and I will do it, otherwise no." I yell back.
"Don't talk back to me mister." I hear my mum scream as I shut the door.
The truth is I don't even want to think about college. It's all to much, leaving home, and having to think about getting a job and a house.
I put my head phones in and listen to Sleep Walking by Bring Me the Horizon so that I can tune out the beast.
I see my door open and look up and see my mum.
"What do you want now?" I ask annoyance present in my voice.
"That's it give me your phone. I am sick of your attitude." My mum says.
"No! Please! I want to listen to music!" I screech.
"No. Give me it now otherwise you are grounded."
"Fine." I give my mum my phone and slam the door behind her.
My mum and I have been fighting like this constantly since I was a little kid. Don't get me wrong, I love my mum to death but sometimes I just want to rip her head off.
I lay on my bed and decide to take a nap.
Luke's POV
I hear the front door slam. I flinch knowing what is coming.
"Luke." I hear my Dad bellow up the stairs.
I open my door and walk down the hallway.
"Yes sir?" I say fear present in my voice.
"Why did I get a call from the school saying you skipped school?" I hear him growl.
----- Flashback-----
I walk through the halls, keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact with anyone. I push my way through the crowded hallway and towards my locker.
"Hey look guys it's Luke, looking emo as always." I hear the all to familiar voice say.
I look down at what I am wearing, my black Sleeping With Sirens sweatshirt and my black skinny jeans with holes in the knees.
I cringe as I hear them approach.
"Hey fag." Mason shouts grabbing the collar of my sweatshirt and pinning me to the lockers.
His friends appear from behind Mason and hold me to the locker as he begins to punch me.
"Just kill yourself already. Do us all a favor." He says shoving me to the ground.
----End of Flashback----
"I didn't feel well." I lie.
"Bullshit." he yells as he walks up the stairs towards me.
I cringe knowing what will happen next.
He punches me in the stomach and I crumple to the floor.
He begins to kick me and yell things like worthless, fag, useless, and fat.
"Go kill yourself." He says walking away and leaving me there.
I don't get up I just stay there and cry. He is right. Everyone is right. I should kill myself.
I run to the bathroom and lock the door. I grab the razor I have hidden under the towel rack. I roll up my sweatshirt and press the cold metal to my skin. A line of blood surfaces. It no longer hurts me because it's what I deserve. I look down at my fresh cuts and roll my sweatshirt sleeve back down, not even bothering to clean them.
I make my way from the bathroom to my bedroom. I assume my dad left to go get drunk at some bar.
I lay down on my bed and stare at the ceiling. I look at the time. It is now 12:00 am. I plug my head phones in and turn on I'll Sleep When I Am Dead by Set It Off.
Looking at the ceiling I process everything bad in my life and try to find something good. Nothing comes to mind and feelings hopelessness come creeping into my mind. I just know I won't be sleeping tonight.
