This Hell Called Life (an Oliver Sykes love story)

Chapter 2

In our first period class we watched A Christmas story. And I laughed my ass off as Oli did too. He sat next to me in every class but I wasn't complaining. In fourth period I was trying to get comfortable in my chair without disturbing Oli but he just laughed and grabbed my shoulders so I was leaning back on him.

"This okay?" He whispered. I just nodded and smiled. He crossed his arms behind me. This wasn't weird because we learned a lot about each other in the few hours we've know each other. He's such a nice guy. After fourth period was lunch and I just sit in the back table reading and listening to music. When the bell rang I got up as did Oliver and we walked to the Cafeteria because we didn't need to put anything in our lockers and Oli had his money for his lunch. When we entered the room I pointed to the one in the back and said

"I'll be over there." And walked away before he could ask any questions. Because I don't like people walking up behind me I sat on the side by the wall. I forgot my book so I just went on Tumblr. When I looked up I saw Oli sitting down.

"Where's your lunch Zoey?" He asked as he took a bite of his salad. Oli was a vegetarian and doesn't eat meat. I don't eat at all.

"Oh um I forgot it... at home... " I trailed off. I couldn't tell Oli I'm anorexic That's how I lost all my other "friends." He just looked at me and handed me an orange.

"Here eat. Please?" He gave me his puppy dog eyes that he used on me this morning when I refused to tell him my middle name. His is Scott and mine is Rose. I gave up after a minute because he looked like he was going to cry. I sighed and started to Peel it. He smiled and cheered.

"Yay thank you!" I just laughed and stared at the piece in my hand. The last time I ate was a a week ago and That's because I passed out I didn't feel anything anymore. Just numb. I sighed and ate the rest of my orange and I have to admit it was yummy. When I do eat on occasion its fruits and vegetables. When Oli finished his salad he looked at me.

"So Zoey, would you like to hang out with me after school today?" My head went up like I just heard the first note of Welcome To The Black Parade. I smiled.

"Yeah sure what do you want to do?" He just shrugged.

"Maybe hang out at the park or your place?" They both would be fine.

"Sure we could hang out at the park and then go to mine? Is that okay?" I bit my lip. Its been three years since I've last hung out with someone from school.

"Yes That's okay." He said just as the bell rang. He threw away his trash and then helped me up. He have me a hug. I love Oli's hugs they just make me feel so safe and warm. We walked back to class together and just enjoyed the movies together. Sitting like we did in fourth period.

The rest of the day went by fast and before I knew it I was waiting for Oli by the front doors.

"I hope you have a car because my mum dropped me off this morning. And she'll be fine about me not being home until later." He said as he struggled to get the other strap of his bookbag over his shoulder. I just laughed and helped him.

"Yes I do have a car now let's go to the Park!" I pushed him to the doors and led him to my car.

We sung along to the Radio as we made our way to the park that was only five minutes from the school. I parked the car and got out leaving my bag inside the car and put my keys in my pocket.

"Race you to the swings Pretty boy!" I screamed as I ran to the swings.  He almost caught up with me but I didn't let that happen. I thought there were two but there was only one so I sat on the ground.

"No." Oli said as he looked at me. He got up from the swing and picked me up then sat back down so I was sitting on his lap.

"Thanks." I said quietly as I crossed my arms in front of my chest. It was really cold.
