The Life You Gave Me

Chapter 1

☀

Elliott got up from his bed realising that he's back to reality, to being the bullies's prey, to being depressed. For him, he was just a living desaster, he thought about suicide almost everyday, but he couldn't leave his mother, Anna James, a sweet mother and woman.

He went to his closet, got a pair of grey jeans and a blue sweater and got dressed. Then he put on his worn out black All Stars and went down to have breakfast with his mother.

"Good morning mom"

"Good morning sweetheart, did you sleep well?"

"Kinda, woke up a few times"

"But you didn't wake up has much as you did before right?"

"Yeah"

"That's good sweetie", Anna said while placing a plate of pancakes in front of Elliott and he devoured them in five minutes. He is one of those people who can eat an entire cow after waking up.

"ELLIOTT! You need to eat slowly"

"Sorry mom, you know what people say, big heart, big stomach"

"And who says that?"

"Well, me"

"Why did I have to raise a boy with a gigantic stomach?"

"Blame it on aunt Mary, she used to give me the double of food that you gave me when I was a kid"

"That's true, that woman can't keep her head in her business"

"Well I need to go mom or I'll be late"

"Okay, have fun sweetheart"

"Thanks mom, you too"

Yeah, fun... I'm going to have so much fun while being bullied, Elliott thought while closing the front door.

Elliott got to school, going straight to the classroom because he didn't have any friends he could talk to before classes. He never was the type of guy to have lots of friends, he had a friend before in freshman year but in the middle of the sophomore year his friend moved away and for more unrealistic that it looks he never heard of him again, it was something about a new start in his friend life.

After class, Elliott went to his locker to get some books but even before he opened the locker he felt a cold hand touch his shoulder. He quickly turned around and three boys were looking at him with an evil grin in their faces and he immediately knew who they were, his bullies.

"Hello there Elliott, how you've been?", the one in the middle named Owen said.

"F-Fine"

"Well, what about we change that?", with that sentence the fear in Elliott's eyes grow and he knew what was coming next. "He's all yours guys", Owen said while walking back, learning against the wall.

Yayyyyyy, they're back, Elliott thought, why do they have to do this to m-

"HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HIM?!", a boy screamed when he saw what was happening.

"Back off dude, this isn't your business"

"Well, you two where about to hit that guy, so it's my business"

Owen said "If you go now, nothing will happen to you" while walking towards the mysterious boy that showed up and the other guys also walked towards him, leaving Elliott with a chance of escaping but he was to curious about the mysterious boy to leave.

"I'm the one who should be saying that"

"And why is that tru-"

Owen couldn't finish is sentence because the mysterious boy knocked him off. As the other two saw what happened they got Owen from the floor and started walking the faster they could while carrying him.

"Are you okay?" the mysterious boy said while approaching Elliott.

Elliott took a moment to look at the guy. He had a Guns And Roses t-shirt, a pair of grey skinny jeans and black boots. He also had brown short hair.

"You okay there?" the boy said while laughing.

Elliott noticed as soon as he looked up (because he was obviously shorter than the other guy) a pair of sky blue eyes staring at him.

"Y-Yeah"

"Do you need anything?"

"You're talking to me?"

"Of course, why wouldn't I be talking to you?"

"Nobody has talked to me since sophomore year, well... accept Owen"

"Who's that?"

"T-The guy you k-knocked off"

"So that's the name of that little shank"

The bell rung and Elliott got scared, jumping and hitting the brunette chin.

"Someone is a little scared kitten", with that sentence Elliott looked down trying to hide his red face due to embarrassment. "Hey, there is no problem in that, you just get scared easily", the taller boy said while looking down at Elliott. Elliott looked up and they stared at each other for a few seconds and then the brunette broke the eye contact. "By the way, I'm Logan, Logan King, it was nice meeting ya" Logan said while walking away and disappearing in the middle of the other students.

Elliott got his books from the locker, quickly walking to the classroom to not be late, also bumping into other students while deep in his thoughts.

Well, maybe senior year won't be that bad, he thought while taking a seat in the classroom.

Hi guys, I just wanna say three things:

Thank you so much guys for giving my story a try and reading it and I really really hope that you liked the first chapter.

I have classes so the story will have slow updates, or maybe not, I don't know yet because one day I can write half chapter and the next day I can write three chapters.

And I really really really want to thank Kablynn because if it wasn't her, this story wouldn't even be published because it was her who gave me the courage to publish this story.
