The three siblings' story

School Starts

Melissa's POV:
I woke up to my alarm screaming in my ear. I heard Brayden groan. I sat up and felt a chill crawl up my spine. It's cold in here. I thought to myself as I stood up and headed to my closet. I grabbed a Panic! shirt and slipped it on along with some black jeans and my black hoodie. I went to the bathroom and locked the door.

I pulled my sleeves up, my arms were a mess. They had scars and cuts all over them. I couldn't help but to want more. I grabbed my razor and left trails of cuts up and down both of my arms. They were deeper than usual but that didn't matter to me. I avoided cutting my wrist since it would be seen if I stretched. I cleaned up my arms and washed the blood off of my razor.

I grabbed my hairbrush and roughly brushed my hair, pulling out knots instead of brushing through them. I covered my left eye with my bangs. I sighed. I'm a mess, cuts all over my arms, Black, baggy clothing, and my hair over my eye. I'm gonna be stereotyped as an emo kid. I rolled my eyes and walked out of the bathroom after brushing my teeth. I went to my room, Brayden was in the living room eating a pop tart. I grabbed my book bag and got a piece of toast to eat, I wasn't that hungry. We walked out to Skyla's car and I sat in the front seat with her while Brayden sat in the back. None of us liked Brayden, he was rude and hit Skyla and I. Skyla slaps him in the face whenever he hits her, I'm too scared to.

We arrived at the school and I saw my friends Stacy, Stella, River, and Sam. They were my only friends besides Kari who I only saw in theatre and lunch. I was closer with Stella than I was with the rest of the friends group. She liked me I think. I kinda liked her too. I denied it for a few days but she kept flirting with me and walking with me every day. She'd call me things like "Princess" and "kitten." It was weird. I wasn't used to it. About a week later she asked me out and I said yes. My siblings knew about my sexuality. Our relationship didn't last long though, she didn't have much time for me plus I found out she had a small reputation for cheating so I ended that. I had a friend Jason in one of my classes and I annoyed the hell out of him. It was a lot of fun. We joked around with each other, but deep down, I felt like he didn't want me as a friend. We texted every now and then, but not a lot.

+— September —+
I was in math class and got an email from a student who I didn't know. Tyler? I read in my head. I didn't know a Tyler. I sighed and answered him. Apparently he wanted to know if I knew Jason, we messaged back and forth for a while and then class ended. I saw Jason walking with a kid I didn't recognize. I threatened to hug Jason and he didn't take it seriously so I hugged him.

The random kid just whispered "Damn." 5th period came around and I emailed Tyler again. He told me he was the kid in the hallway who said "Damn." I just replied with a "oh okay! I didn't know that was you." He and I emailed throughout the class period. I had given him my number through the school email. He texted me later that day. I smiled and texted him. I also messaged Jason and he told me that Tyler liked me. He just met me today though, and we didn't even speak in person. I thought to myself as I sat on the bus. My friends Ethan was sitting across from me, he was buried in his phone so I didn't talk to him.

Eventually I got home and went to my bathroom. I grabbed my razor and left more cuts, this time on my thighs. As I pulled my pants back up I winced at the pain of the fabric raking against my fresh cuts. "Dammit" I muttered under my breath. I sighed and went to my room and started on some homework. Once I had finished, I went into the kitchen debating on eating. I shrugged and got a glass of water. I didn't like going in my room anymore since Brayden was in there a lot. He hadn't done much, just the same thing he did the first time repeated itself sometimes. I drank the water and went to my room. I sighed and put in my headphones. I texted Tyler.

T= Tyler M= Melissa

M- Hey!
T- Hi
M- So, how's it goin'?
T- Eh, it's ok.
M- well, Jason told me a thing
T- Was it a thing about a thing?
M- Well, it's about a crush
T- I guess that makes this awkward
M- haha, nah not really
T- well...uh, yeah I guess
M- Why do you like me, we barely even emailed
T- I fall for people easily, I just thought you were beautiful and had an amazing personality.

I blushed and texted him back. We texted for hours. Brayden decided to sleep on the couch so I called Tyler and we talked for hours until one of us fell asleep.

—+Friday after school —+
I heard there was a football game so I asked Tyler if he wanted to go with me. I was starting to like him, a lot. "You'd have to pick me up." He sighed.

I looked at him and smiled, "Okay! My bro Aaron will pick you up."

"Alright, well see you at the game then." He blushed a little and I simply smiled. I had already texted Aaron and he said he'd do it. Eventually, time passed and it was time to pick Tyler up. We got to his house and I messaged him letting him know I was there. He came outside and hugged me. I looked at him and covered my face with my bangs. I felt heat in my face and I smiled and ignored it. We got into the car and he held my hand. We headed to the stadium.
