Alex POV
I groan as I look in the mirror. Another black eye. My lip was cut and I could still see the stains of where blood ran from my nose. I lightly wash my face, wincing when I touched any brousies or cuts. Even though it was just water it stung.
Claire banged on the door with her fists. "Get out you little fag!" Claire is blakes girlfriend. Blake being my brother.
I unlock the door slowly and it slams open and she pushes me back with so much force I fall into the bath.
I rub the back of my head where it hit the tiles and lift myself out.
" out! Out! Out! Get out or I'll get Blake you perv!" She screams in my ear I jump up and walk to my room still rubbing my head.
" oh hello sweetie! Do you want some toast before school?" This is Kim my stepmom. She's wearing her hair tied back in a ponytail and has a tight latex bra let on letting her boobs pop out practically only covering her nipples. She also wears a tight mini skirt barely covering any flesh.
She's only a year older than me meaning she's 19. And my dads turning 40 this year. Yes it disgusts me too. She's only here for the money. My dads a lawyer and earns quite a large salary.
I shake my head at her and Blake enters. He's shirtless sand in a old pair of joggers which I bet were originally mine. He slaps Kim's ass and she squeals slightly then he sets his eyes on me and I'm overcome with fear.
" what you looking at? Piss off!" He shouts and I nod and walk to my room tensing as I walk past him.
A year ago he stabbed me. I was rushed to hospital and no one visited me for the whole two weeks I was there. I barely survived and the nurses pitied me.
I have a couple of mates in the football team with me who hang out with me sometimes but otherwise I don't really see anyone and the nurses wouldn't let them in because they weren't family.
I hate this place. I want to leave. Run away. And I can't wait till I do. I have one week left here. And only I know this. I'll just disappear and no one will notice.
What have I got to loose.
"THE BUS IS HERE ALEX!" Kim shouts
Fuck
I pull on a shirt and a jacket and run.
I miss the bus by a second. Ughhhhh
Kim won't drive me because she doesn't want me to make a mess in her car, Claire and Blake would kill me and dad... well I don't know where dad is.
I start to walk. Luckily it's pretty warm today so I'm not too cold. I'm in an old pair of jeans that have a couple of holes in and a tight Nike top that outlines my abs. And a leather jacket that I found in our attic yesterday. It's pretty comfy I got to admit.
I see Chris walking on the other side of the road. He crashed his car last week and I don't think he's getting another one for quite a while.
"Hey! Alex! Sup mate!" He runs over to me when he notices me.
"Hey I'm alright how's you? Is Kate alright?" Kate's his fiancé. He proposed on her 18th birthday. They've been dating since they were ten
" I'm good and Kate's happy or well I hope!" He laughs and I chuckle " she's going shopping tonight again"
" she draining you bank. You see this is why I'm single." I say and we laugh
We finally arrive at school and part our ways.
I grab my maths books and my art books. Yep I'm a weird person I'm sporty smart and artistic. But it's gonna land me a job so I'm not complaining.
There's a loud bang and I watch as Blake walks towards me.
Oh shit what have I done now.
"You dick! Claire says you wouldn't leave the bathroom when she needed a shower you pervert!" He punches my stomach and lifts me by my shirt.
I can see people crowding now.
" no I didn't I was just leaving when she entered!" I whimper yeah I guess I'm a wuss.
He pushes me against the lockers so hard i hear my ribs snap and I am winded.
" next time your dead." He threatens while giving me one last blow to the chest.
Another snap.
Everyone turns back to what they were doing except Bradley another one of my football mates.
He lifts me up and puts my arm around his shoulder
" jeez dude you need to slow down on those fries!" He says trying to pull my weight
I splutter back to life " I'll live it's just a couple of-AH- broken ribs." I say wincing and clinging onto him.
"Mate it's a rule you never leave your brother with broken ribs by his locker fighting for air like Abraham Lincoln said that then George Washington made it a law like last year or something." Yeah he's not too bright but he's still my mate
" thanks brad. Your gonna be late tho." He nods
" it's only drama I'm sure they can go without Sherlock Holmes" he says groaning as he drags me to the infirmary
" that's the main role idiot!" I laugh and he chuckles
The nurse walks in and sees me and sighs. I think she must think I'm a bad kid. Brad waves and runs off. I lie there as she huff and groans before calling 911. I guess it's worse than i thought but then again I should have expected it I do have a history you know. Of being different
