Slave

The Day Before.

The day before.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. The sound of my alarm clock reminding me I have school to attend. I trough the blanket from me and walked to my bathroom which is attached to my room. Just before I entered my bathroom I walked past my man size mirror and stopped dead in my tracks. Looking at the mirror to see my half-naked body with a purple and blue color forming on my ribs, just below my pecks. Stupid football Jocks from yesterday making me their own personal punching bag yet again.

I am a senior this year I am turning 18 in 4 months from now, I am just your normal invisible nerd or so I am told every day. My name is Jack Green. Walking into my bathroom opening the water of my shower and stripped down my boxers while checking to see if anyone is staring even if it's my own bathroom. Got into a warm shower, steaming warm water running down my back making me relax and feeling ever so sleepy. Almost falling asleep again when suddenly my bathroom door swung open. Now I don't have to tell you this but I am a very scared and paranoid person for many obvious reasons. Jumping in shock causing me to slip on the wet floor sending me out of the shower and into someone's arms with the manliest scream possibly.

"You are naked and on top of me," Tina said covering her eyes.

"Well I would not have been naked nor on top of you if you knocked like a normal person," I said while scrambling for a towel like a fish on land.

"Sometimes I question why you are my best friend," I said while wrapping a towel around me covering my most vulnerable parts.

"So care to explain why you are here this early and more specifically, why are you in my bathroom?" I said all red in the face avoiding eye contact.

Looking at me with amusement in her eyes and obviously trying to hide her smile she stood up from the floor folding her arms ever so dramatic. "Well I was waiting for you in the kitchen with your mother but you took too long so I had to make sure my little princess is alive and well."

She turned around and walked away leaving me there with no idea about what just happened. Well, I guess my shower is finished now, Walking to my closet to get dressed. Taking my skinny jeans and a white V neck and my Vans. Looking in the mirror to see normal me nothing special. Staring into my own empty eyes I wish I could find meaning to my life. Every day is just another day nothing special. Same things every day! I wish someone will just take me away!

Walking into the kitchen where my mother and Tina is talking and laughing so hard they did not notice me until I sat down at the kitchen table. My mother just looked at me passing me my plate with pancakes on them not even saying a word instead she continued talking to Tina. Once again I live in a world where no one notices me and if they do they could not care less. I ate my breakfast in silence just as I took my last bite Tina kicked me giving me the sign its time to go.

"Thanks, mom breakfast was good as always, but we have to get going or we will be late," I said grabbing Tina by her hand and pulling her away.

"Your mother is a sweet woman," Tina said walking beside me.

"If she was only sweet to her own son, I would agree. Then again the only person sweet/ kind to me is you" I said giving Tina a small smile.

"So what happened to your body? Why do you have bruises?" She asked me looking concerned as we walked along the street.

"It's not a big deal don't worry about it and don't look at my body next time," I said blushing again looking down at my shoes. I still can't believe someone saw me naked.

"Would you rather me looking at your friend down there? Speaking of that you should really think about trimming that bush," she said with a big smile I assume. I could not look at her out of embarrassment. Besides, why should I trim that? I don't have anyone romantic in my life I am still a virgin and have never dated anyone in my life. The closest thing I have to a relationship is me and my bed. That is pure love, probably the best love in the world.

"So are you ready for the last day of school?" Tina asked with a bit of hope in her eyes probably knowing I never had it easy in school. I have been saving up for my trip to Spain for a while now. It's all I have wanted for the past 2 years and honestly its been the only thing that has kept me going all this time.

"Yes, I can't wait for this day to end and tomorrow its the big day! Finally going to Spain" I said with excitement. We continued walking to school in silence. As we walked through the front doors the school was just like any other day. Groups, everywhere you had your Jocks your cheerleader's geeks nerds and so on. All standing next to the lockers in small groups. I always wanted to be part of a group like that but never got to the Nerds would not even talk to me. I only had Tina and she was somewhat popular so I only saw her time to time at school. Opening my locker I saw a paper falling to the ground, I bend down to pick up the paper when someone pushed me from behind causing me to bump my head against the locker. Pain rushing through my body and a cold feeling started to cover my body as I grabbed my head in pain. The cold feeling slowly found its way to my hands and everything became silent. Looking around confused as to what just happened things became blurry. My legs became shaky and I leaned against my locker for support when everything went black...

I woke up with my head feeling like it was used as target practice. I slowly tried to stand to get off the bed and saw this handsome guy in front of me. He grabbed my wrist and stopped me from falling down.

"Best to take it slow, You had quite a blow to your head," he said touching the side of my face. Who is this guy and why is he talking to me? Why is he smiling at me? Am I dead? Most probably.

"Am I in heaven or is the how Lucifer is punishing me?" I asked looking at this guy for some answers. He looked at me a bit confused and took a step back rubbing his head now.

"Not sure what you are talking about," he said still confusion written all over his face.

"Why are you speaking to me? Is this some kind of sick joke of Lucifer or are you my angel?" I asked a bit worried about what he might say.

He started laughing and walked towards me slowly taking my hand again so I could follow him. He led me to a chair in the corner so I could sit down. I bent down so I could see his green eyes. Handsome might be an understatement.

"Jack you got injured, some football jock pushed you causing you to bump your head into your locker. Very hard I might add, I think you might have dented your locker. So I brought you to the Nurse" he said smiling at me with a true smile. No one has ever given me a true smile.

"Wait are you sure I am not dead?" I asked when I realized he knows my name. "Wait how do you know my name?" I looked at this handsome green-eyed man.

"Jack I know exactly who you are or I hope I do," he said smiling again.

He stood up and walked to the door turning around and looked at me "Don't read my note now read it later when you feel better" he said shooting me another smile walking away.

What note? I looked in my hands to see I was holding onto a note. This has to be the paper I tried to pick up before someone pushed me. Wait why will this handsome guy write me a letter.

I slowly unfolded the paper and saw:
