Louis POV

I was abruptly awoken by the soft sound of Ed Sheeran playing through the speaker of my phone. Being awoken from a long night of restless sleep, I'd rather lay in the peacefulness and silence that is trapped within the four walls of my bedroom.

Reaching over to turn off the alarm that is now echoing throughout my room I got up and quietly made my way to the bathroom just outside my bedroom door. I tried my best not to wake up my father who was most likely passed out on the old stained cushions of our couch. As I made my way to shut the door of my bathroom I made sure to lock the door for some sort of comfort, a feeling that wasn't so known in my house.

Looking up at the mirror I see me. I've got tired eyes and black skies that are making their ways under my lash lines forming shadows holding restless nights of sleep while carrying the tragic memories and thoughts that replay like a broken record repeatedly each and every night nonstop no matter how hard I've tried to stop them. I've got discolored patches that are formed throughout my body creating different shapes with different stories.

Stories that should never be told.

As I leave my run down house toward the school it started to rain. Great just my luck right? I pick up my speed wanting to get there as fast as I could in hopes I wouldn't get too soaked.

Making it just on time for the school bell to be heard signaling for the first-period class to begin I turn the corner of the school hall in a rush. The squishing of my water-filled shoes can barely be heard throughout the halls which are filled with commotion but that is all I can hear myself. Walking through the halls with my head down just trying to make it through the crowds of students only to be stopped.

Falling to the floor dropping my belongings I take a moment to comprehend what just happened. It was all so sudden.

I let out a quiet "Sorry" looking up only to see a pair of emerald green eyes peering down at me. Shyly looking away I picked up my belonging and took off.
