Saving Alex

Chapter 1.

I sat up in bed the cold air stinging my bare chest. 

i layed back down pulling the blankets a bit farther up my chest. 

i looked over and grabbed a shirt and pulled it over my head. 

i jumped out of my bed and out the door to the bathroom. 

Im Nick, and im a 17 year old who still shares a room with a 8 year old and sleeps on the top bunk. 

i went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror, i wasn't that bad looking, i had my flaws but everyone does, i worked out a bit so i was a bit muscular, skinny, and tall, im pretty awkward looking really. 

my sister who is 2 years younger then me walked in throwing her long brown hair over her shoulder, she wasnt snobby nor rude like most girls here in England. 

she was pretty though and i took care of her the best i could, i never let anyone hurt her in anyway and if they did, i would hurt them. 

she looked over at me and smiled as she turned on the water in the sink. she pulled her long chestnut hair into a low messy bun and splashed some cold water on her face to help her wake up. 

she dried off her face and turned to me "are you gonna get ready for school or are you just gonna sit there and stare?" she asked i laughed a bit and shook my head, okay she is rude but just to me. 

i moved from against the wall and over to my sink we have double sinks, and grabbed my toothbrush and so did Mary. 

we both stared at each other as we brushed our teeth almost in-sync with each other. 

we both cleaned up and i left as she was still in there doing her makeup. 

i walked into me and my little brothers room and looked around, i found what seemed like a clean uniform and pulled it on. i brushed through my brown hair and put it up in a little quiff and added some hair gel to make it stay. 

i went downstairs into the kitchen our mum making us breakfast, and our step dad sitting at the table, me and him.. we dont get along that well, we have disagreements, often. 

i sat down my mum placed a bowl of oatmeal in front of me "thanks." i said as she kissed the top of my head. 

our mum is the sweetest person you will ever come across, the only way to get her on your bad side is to mess with us or her "babies" as she calls us. 

i finished eating and i put my bowl in the sink everyone else was downstairs, i had 4 other siblings you could say it gets a bit crazy, and i was the only guy other then my little brother. 

so there was Kate who is 5, Claire who is 8, Mary who is 15, and Jarred who is 8 as well. him and Claire are twins. 

"we all have to talk about something." our mum said everyone got quiet and looked over at her i sat up on the counter and she looked around at us "me and Chris are going on a vacation for 2 weeks since you all know we never had a honeymoon, some days Grandmum will take the younger ones but for the most part Nick and Mary are in charge." i shrugged my shoulders and jumped off the counter grabbing my bag and head out the door. 

i walked down the pathway a bit and i herd the door open again Mary walked out and met up with her friend who walked behind me. 

i walked by myself for a bit until i herd running i turned to see one of my good friends Paul run up to me "hey." i said, he didnt say anything back he was on his phone "are you gon-" he cut me off by shoving his phone in my face a picture of a girl was on it. 

she had dark brown hair, big bright green eyes, and a beautiful smile. "who is she?" i asked as we started walking again "Alex." i looked at him "who?" he threw his head back in frustration "Alex, i met her off that site i was telling you about, you should make a account its fun." i shrugged my shoulders i might. 

i sat on my bed and looked at the home page for the website Paul was telling me about, i clicked on 'sign up' and typed in my information. 

i clicked on the chat i was in with Paul and typed in 'i made it.' he sent back a high five emoji and i closed the window. i added some information about me on my profile added some pictures and made it look better over all. 

my mum came in my room i shut my laptop and looked over at her "we are leaving come say goodbye." i hopped off my bed and went downstairs.

i hugged my mum and shook Chris's hand we waited for them to pull away before we all went off and did our own things. 

i walked into my room and jumped back in my bed and started to look through the site itself. 

there was definitely a lot of.. interesting girls on here..

most of them had almost no clothes on in their pictures, it was.. a bit much. 

Paul sent me Alex's username and i quickly typed it in the search bar, 

i clicked on her profile and smiled the second i opened it, all of her profile pictures were clean and nice, no dirty ones, in every picture she posted she was fully dressed. 

i read through her bio which mostly consisted of bands, quotes, and her love for Manchester United, she seems pretty cool. she definitely from what i can see isnt like the other girls on here, they all have on their profiles "i want a guy who can show me a good time." the only guys she brings up is her love for screamo bands and that Oli Sykes is her boyfriend but he doesn't know it. 

i can tell i already like this girl, i quickly hit "send message" and typed away some stuff about myself,

"hello Alex! I just came across your profile and you seem like a really cool girl, my name is Nick and im 17 i live in the UK, and i have a small obsession with xbox, please message me back!."

i read over it a couple times to make sure it made sense and i didn't seem like a major willy and then logged off and shut my laptop, i rolled over in my bed and eventually fell asleep.
