Uneasy

Chapter 1

Friday 3:20 pm
Isn't it funny how someone can just walk down the halls of high school and all the girls swoon, all the boys nod their heads and do weird fists bumps as if they have been friends forever and I'm am not one of those people.

My name is sky long , I'm 17 years old and I'm not one of those girls to swoon over a boy looking at me, like right now I'm getting books out of my locker while everyone else is to busy looking and 3 guys walking down a high
school hallway.

I have dirty blonde hair that sits in the middle of my back when it's in a high ponytail, light blue jeans with rips in the knees and a light pink over sized jumper match with my white converse shoes, just trying to blend in with the crowd.

No I'm not a nerd and I do have friends well one friend her name is Maddy she has short blonde hair and dresses all girly she love to stand out. I know what you are thinking ' why am I friends with a girl who loves to stand out?' Well I don't even know she approached me on the first day of school and just hasn't left me. True friend.

"How can you not be looking at them? I can't take my eyes off them." She ask me while leaning on the locker next to me.

"Easy. " I replied with. " I just don't see what is so interesting about them, there is nothing special about them?." I said still not caring about what's going on behind me.

"Have you even looked at them?" I heard In my right ear.

I turn around to see three boys walking down the hall. To the right was James Shane he is tall,  with blonde shaggy hair, bright green eyes with dark green spot in them, he is well built. He is wearing a green top with black jeans, black shoes and you guessed it a leather jacket. He is the charmer out of the three boys.

To the left was Andrew Phillips he the shortest one of the group but still one of the tallest people in the school, he is wearing a dark blue top with grey skinny jeans and a black leather jacket. He has brown hair and light brown eyes with little gold highlights in them if you look closely. He is the prankster also a charmer but the nicest one out of the boys.

And in the middle was Ace Connor the bad boy, the one everyone wanted to be friends with or be dating. He is in a black top with black skinny jeans with rips in the knees and black shoes and a leather jacket . He has black long shaggy hair and bright blue eyes that almost looked grey when he gets angry, I know this because he gets piss off a lot. He has the total bad boy look and attitude down, he is one of the moodiest people I know.

"Wow they can walk. Someone alert the media!" Did you notice my sarcasm?

"Don't worry I am on it." Wow I'm not the only one who is being sarcastic today. "But how can you just not fall to the ground just looking at them?"

"I'm not interested in them, they are nothing but dick with legs and arms." I said while close my locker.

"Shush they are about to walk past!" She whisper shouted to me.

"I don't care if they hear me, what are they going to do?" I said back not care or giving them a glance as they go around the corner, everyone has gone back to doing what they where doing or talking about that just happened like 'omg he look at me.' Barf.

"Okay i need to get home, do need a ride or are you going to walk?" Who does she think I am?

"Ride please" hey don't judge me it is cold and I don't want to walk, I never do. Is not that I'm lazy but it's to far for me to walk and since I don't have a car, I just get my mom to drive me because she has work in the morning so I just catch a ride with her.

And when I say my house is to far I mean it, i live on the outskirts of town and school is kind in the middle. I sometimes walk because mom can't pick me up or Maddy doesn't offer me a ride. But today it was misty outside and I'm not about to ruin my white converse.

After 10 minutes of bad singing and dancing I was home lay on my bed waiting for mom to get home. I have two dogs named Balto he is a husky, I loved the movies when I was a kid... so that's why that is his name, and my other dogs name is Sage, she is my little baby Corgi, she has to be the  cutest little baby girl alive.

My room is nothing special it has a bed with white sheets and a black and grey duvet with a medium-size panda and a large unicorn laying where my pillow should be, I have a walk in wardrobe and a desk that I never use, to be honest I don't know why I have it. I have a bedside table with a lamp and all my power cords laying on the ground, I have two dogs beds with their name hanging on the wall with some cute photos of them with me and my family on the first day we got my babies.

As I was scrolling through instagram I heard a weird noise coming from downstairs i thought maybe it was one of the dogs but Balto was in his bed and Sage was laying beside me on her back, I slowly get up to walk to my door but only to end up on the floor....Why does Balto have to be so strong, so I guess I was not the only one to hear the noise by the way he went rushing downstairs barking which woke up Sage who jumped off me bed and landed on my back, she may be small but when she land on my back she weighed a tonne.

Finally getting up to slowly walk downstairs to find where the noise was coming from. I walk into the lounge to find my mom sitting on the couch sleeping and the tv turn on, I guess she just got home and turned the tv on and fall asleep. She has been working so hard so I can have a roof over my head and food on the table, she is my hero. She has sacrificed so much for me like her family, she had me when she was 16 and her parents kicked her out of the house because she wanted to keep me, and for that she will always be my hero.

I place the blanket that was on the back of couch over her so that she doesn't get cold and walk back up to my room to get changed into my Pj, I look at my phone for the last time to see that the time was 10pm I decided it was time to sleep as I jump into me bed feel the warmth take over my body and sleep into a deep slumber.

Hearing my mom screaming "YOU CANT TAKE HER!" "SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE WITH YOU". "YOUR THE ONE THAT HURT HER".

I get out of bed to go to my mummy's room, when I get in there she's not there I start to panic, I run out and try find her but I can't but the screaming gets louder and louder. I start screaming out "MOMMY WHERE ARE YOU! I CANT FIND YOU!" But the her screaming gets louder.

"MOMMY!" I wake up in a pool of sweat and tears, my hands are white from me squeezing my bed sheets to hard as I slowly release, my hands hurt so much I can just see the marks where my nails had been digging in my palms.

"It was just I nightmare" I would like to say this was the first one but this had been going on for a while, it all started when I was a kid and my mom introduced me to her boyfriend at the time, he was nice at the beginning he would bring me lollies and cool little toys but things start to change and he stop and start telling me and my mom what to do and said if we don't do it we will be punished, I still have some scars from him.

Balto and Sage must have know I had another nightmare because they both came over and jumped on the bed, snuggling up to me showing me that it was safe and that way would protect me from him, this mad me feel safe but in that back of my mind i new he would come look for me and my mom but right now we are safe.  As I slowly fall into yet another deep slumber.
