Chapter Text
*Luke's POV*
"LUKE!!" I heard my mum shout
"Yeah"
"It's time to get up c'mon i'm about to put breakfast on"
"LUKE!!"
"I'm up i'm up"
"Your breakfast is getting cold, your going to be late for school"
I lay in my bed for a minute before getting up before I realised I didn't want to get up because everytime I got up and went to school I felt like I didn't want to be alive. I had no friends and everybody laughed when I got made fun of by Michael the school bully.
I grabbed my glasses from my shelf and put them on my face. I really liked my glasses they were big and thick rimmed. There was only one problem with them though, they had been broken in the middle to many times from being punched in the face by Michael and his stupid friends. Because it had happened too many times I had just decided to keep taping them up with white tape. I acctually think it looks really cool
I had eaten my breakfast and went back upstairs to get sorted for school.
I picked out an outfit for school and got changed but I noticed I didn't have a jumper
"MUM!! Do I have any jumpers ready"
"No. what do you need one for its hot today"
"Ummm nothing are you sure theres not one there"
"I'm sure Luke honey sorry"
Shit what was I going to do. I raked around in my drawer and gotten the nesscessary amout of bracelets and put them on.
I went back downstairs and my mum greeted me.
When we were in the car she kept looking at my wirsts suspicioulsy
"Are you Ok Lukey"
"Yeah I'm fine how?"
"Nothing just wondering" She said with a hint of worriedness in her voice
The closer we got to school the more nervous I got. My mum pulled into the car park and I got out the car. I nervously walked into school.
"Heyy there fag" Said a familiar voice
I started to walk in the other direction but I felt a big hand on my shoulder that pulled me back.
I was expecting more verbal abuse but I barely had time to turn around before I got punched really hard in the face. I started crying and noticed that my glasses were at my feet. One of the lenses were smashed.
"Crybaby" Said Michael as he walked off laughing.
I bent down and picked up my glasses. While I was down I dried my tears and when I got back up I noticed these two seniors watching me at the other end of the corridor. One of them was quite tall and had Black hair that was slightly wavy and the other one had Dirty blonde hair that came over his forehead He was very cute I thought
We shared eye contact for another minute before I got back up and put my glasses back on when I went to look again they were gone.
I noticed them again at lunch time watching me as I sat alone (as usual) One of the boys I think his name is Ashton, but as usual i'm probably wrong, pointed in my direction. I had no idea what he meant so I turned around. Before I could turn around fully I felt something getting poured on my head. I could easily tell what it was by the smell. It was Milk
I left my lunch on the table and ran to the bathroom crying again. I stood at the sink and as I was looking in the sink to wash my face I felt a hand on my shoulder and I flinched away
"Woah Woah Woah It's alright Its Ok I'm not gonna hurt you"
Still not looking I felt the same arm go around my shoulder.
"That was very mean what they did to you . I also hate the way that they treat you Me and my friend Calum, with the black hair, have been watching the way they treat you and its absolutly appauling so we are going to defend you if it happens again"
"Why would you want to waste your time defending me. Look at me I have no friends everyone hates me"
I was still refusing to look up at the boy I flinched again because I felt his hand on my wrist.
This caused me to look at him he had the most perfect smile
"I'm Ashton by the way"
"I-i-i'm l-luke" I said stuggling to get words out.
The perfect moment was ruined by the bell for 5th period.
Ashton hurried out of the bathroom and he turned to me and said "You shouldn't do that you know trust me I know its hard but you have to promise me you'll stop by the way your worth protecting" He said looking at my wrist he winked at me and exited the bathroom
I nodded and stuttered goodbye. I got myself cleaned up and went to class. For once I didn't pay attention because all I could think about was Ashton I think I'm in love with him.
Ashton was on my mind all afternoon. My thoughts however were interupted at my locker after school when Michael approached me. I was expecting the worst but all he did was wink at me and walked stright past.
I was totally and utterly confused I was thinking about both Michael and Ashton for the rest of the night. There was 2 questions going through my mind all night. "Did Ashton and Calum talk to Michael" and "Was Michael finally being nice to me"
I was able to rule out that last question when the next day at school I got hit so hard I was knocked out before school started
When I finally came to the halls were empty and before my vision was finally back to normal I saw two figures standing over me
Calum and Ashton
