Broken to Unbroken

Chapter One

~Payton

I wake up to Disaterology blaring through my phone speaker. I groan and get up walking to my bathroom. I turn on my shower so that it could heat up then walk to the sink to brush my teeth. When I was done I took off my sweat shirt and under garments and stepped into the shower. The warm water soothing my body. As the water hits me I allow my mind to roan and enter my own little world. I was brought back to reality by cold water hitting my skin. Wow I was in here that long.. Oh well. I turn off the water and step out of the shower wrapping a towel around my head and another around my body. I walk out of my bathroom into my bedroom and over to my wardrobe to get some clothes for the day. I look through my wardrobe and pull out a pair of black skinnies, my favorite Batman shirt and my Batman converse. When I was dressed I walked back into my bathroom and brushed my hair and did my make up, which consists of eyeliner and a little lip gloss. I walked back in my room and grabbed my bag and my phone before I leave my room and headed downstairs. My dad was sitting at the kitchen table reading today's paper when I walked in. "Good morning Daddy." I said kissing his cheek before going to the fridge. "Morning Pay. Ready for school?" he replied setting the paper down in front of him. "Yeah, I'm about to go pick up Tory." I said grabbing a sandwich that I had made the night before and throwing it in my bag. "Okay Sweetheart, have a good day and you and Victory-Rose be safe." he said and I nodded. "I love you, Daddy. I'll call you later so that you know that I'm okay." I said as I hugged him and made my way to my car. Once I got out side I got into my car and made my way to my best friends house. When I pull into her driveway I see that Tory is already sitting outside waiting for me. She gets into the car and reaches over to hug me before putting on her seatbelt. "Morning Tony!" she says happily after we pull apart and I pull out of her driveway. "Morning Tory!" I say back with a small chuckle. We make small talk about music, like always, and within about 20 minutes we arrive at school. I pull into the senior parking lot and parked in my normal spot. I turn off my car and me and my friend get out. We walk up the stairs and into the front doors of the school. Here goes another day in hell. We walk inside and head to Tory's locker first since it was the closest. We still had about an hour til classes started so we did what we do every day. Went to our lockers and got all the things we needed for the first half of the day and then went to the rooftop garden. Technically we aren't supposed to be up there but we never get caught up here. It's Friday, meaning that today I have a science exam. Ugh. I hate science. Even though it is one of my best subjects I still have a very strong hatred of it. Me and Tory sat in the garden listening to our favorite band, Pierce the Veil, until about 15 minutes before classes started. "We should go back inside classes start in 15." Tory said. I nod and we get up to make our way inside. Once inside we go our separate ways telling each other 'see you at lunch'. I am walking down the hall to my math class not really paying attention when suddenly I run into something, or someone to be exact, knocking me onto the floor. I could hear people laugh. "Damn. Maybe you should watch where you're going next time, freak." a group of jocks chorused. All but one. The one I bumped into. "Guys leave her alone. It was my fault." he said kneeling down to help me up. "I'm Jacob. By the way." he said to me once I was off the floor. "Come on Jake, we know you're new here and all but you should know not to befriend this satanic piece of shit. She's worthless. There are a lot more hot girls in this school. Leave the ugly ones alone." one of the guys said. All his friends agreed with him. I'm not satanic. I felt tears well up in my eyes and turned away from the jocks so they wouldn't see them fall. "Shut up guys, okay. What's your name?" the boy by the name of Jacob said. I wiped the tears from my face and eyes before turning around to reply. "Payton-Gabrielle." I said looking into his emerald green eyes. "Well Payton-Gabrielle, you are just as beautiful as your name is. And I'm sorry about my friends being assholes to you." Jacob said with a sincere look on his face. "It's fine. I should probably be use to it by now. And thank you." I said before I walked away and to my math classroom. I entered the room and went to my seat all the way in the back of the classroom and put my head down. After about 2 minutes the bell rang and the last of the people filed into the classroom. I zoned out until I heard my name. "You can take a seat next to Ms. Jones in the back there." I heard Mrs. Anderson, my math teacher say. My head snapped up to see Jacob walking towards me. Oh God, why? I put my head back down on the desk until Mrs. Anderson gave us our assignment for the day. Right when she gave it I started working and was done within the first 20 minutes of class. Like every other day. I gave her my assignment and to nights homework since I'd finished that too and went back to my seat. When I was walking back I noticed that Jacob was staring at me. It was honestly really creeping me out. I sat in my chair putting my head down on my desk. For the next few minutes I could feel someone's eyes burning into the side of my head. I knew it was Jacob but it still scared the shit outta me. I got really nervous and it started getting hard for me breathe. Great, not a panic attack. Now there's gonna be more for people to make fun of me about. "Mrs. Anderson." I said raising my hand trying to get my teacher's attention. My voice came out as a horse whisper. I tried again and failed for the second time. By now I was hyperventilating. I stood up from my desk only to fall on the floor with a loud thud. That's what got everyone's attention. "Oh my gosh, Mrs. Anderson!" a girl screamed when she saw me on the floor unable to breathe. Mrs. Anderson jumped up and ran to my side telling someone to go tell the nurse. One of the guys from the class lifted me into his arms and carried me bridal style to the nurse's office. Then everything went black.
