Chapter One

Beep, beep, beep, beep! Alec slammed his hand down on the alarm and turned it off. Rubbing his eyes, Alec got out of his bed. Today was the first day back to from the school holidays. This meant going back to the people who hated him but loved to make his life a living Hell. He was an 'emo fag' to all of them. Not a person, just a punching bag. Alec walked over to his drawers, grabbed his normal black cardigan and black skinny jeans and went into the bathroom to have a shower.

It all started when Alec came out of the closet. His parents were disgusted by him and everyone else steered clear of him like he had a contagious disease. Unless they wanted to terrorise him, of course. Alec realised he was gay when he was fifteen. He thought he was in love with Jace, his younger brother. Luckily Alec got over that pretty quickly when Jace found out he was gay. Jace refused to look at him and would let his friends 'punish' him for being gay.

After Alec got out of the shower he walked like a zombie to the kitchen to find food. Alec hated mornings and can't work properly until at least eleven o'clock. After Alec popped some bread into the toaster he sat down on the stools behind the counter and rested his head on his arms. Hearing the pop of the toast, Alec got up and started buttering them.

"Morning" Said Max, walking into the kitchen. Max was the youngest of his siblings and was the only family member that acknowledged him.

"Shhh! don't say the Devil's nickname out loud" Replied Alec, earning him a smile from Max. Alec put his toast on a plate and walked over to the kitchen table, sitting next to his favourite brother.

"So, are you excited about your first day back at school?" Alec said with a smile forming on his lips. Max hated school as much as Alec did. Fortunately, it was for different reasons. He didn't even want to think about Max getting treated the way Alec did.

"Are you kidding me? I'd much rather be staying at home and doing something better with my day. Like reading" Max said after lifting his head up from his comic book. Taking the last bite of his breakfast, Alec pulled his bag onto his shoulders and waved to Max who waved back without removing his eyes from his comic book.

Alec got into his car and sighed. He really didn't want to face school today. I could always wag? He thought to himself. Shaking his head, Alec started the engine. It was now or never. Alec reversed out of the driveway and turned on the stereo. Hopefully his trusty music will ready him for his shit-filled day. When My Chemical Romance blasted out of it Alec smiled in relief. They were always his favourite band and rocking the crap out to them before school always put him in a better mood. Alec turned up the music and tried to block out his worries.

Turning off the engine, Alec rested his head on top of the steering wheel. Today was going to be a long day, Alec thought with a yawn. Alec stretched with another yawn, making his hair go into his eyes. Slowing, Alec flipped his black hair out of his eyes. He was in a desperate need of a haircut. Before his mum would've fussed over his too long hair and book an appointment for the very next day. That was before she found out that his son liked boys instead of girls, before she had a mental break-down claiming that her life was over and before she disowned him as a son. Alec forced his eyes closed and tried to stop the tears coming. How could a mother not love her own son?

Alec was rustling through his locker when he saw him. He had spiked hair with something that looked like glitter? In it. He wore a dark purple shirt with the words 'hugs not drugs' written on it, with neon green tight skinny jeans tucked into sparkly cherry red boots. The whole outfit just screamed gay. People around him either stared at him with open mouths or glared at him with disgust. But Alec didn't pay attention to them. All he could look at was the guy walking, no strutting, past Alec. He looked over to him and winked at Alec. Alec's eyes widened at his attention towards him and turned back towards his locker. Who was that?

Alec was walking back to his locker after his last class, not looking where he was going when he ran into one of Jace's friends. Alec bounced off him and onto the ground, his books going everywhere. Jace's friend, Sebastian, fell to the floor too but got up faster than Alec.

"Watch where you're going, faggot!" Sebastian said to him, anger in his voice. Alec pushed himself up from the ground while mumbling an apology and went to pick up his books. Sebastian, seeing the perfect opportunity, roughly pushed him back down to the ground.

"You know what I think? I think that you did that just so you could try to come on to me!" Yelled Sebastian with a smile. Alec curled his lip at such a disgusting thing and tried to get back up again.

"Hey, I'm not done with you yet." Sebastian said, pushing him back down. Sebastian kicked in while he was down and spat on Alec's face.

"People like you make me sick." Sebastian said, walking away from him. Alec clutched his side in pain, Sebastian's saliva running down his cheek. Alec blinked the tears away and, with a grunt, stood up from the ground. Should've wagged while I had the chance, Alec thought, nobody would notice and my so called parents wouldn't even care. Alec picked his books back up and ran to the bathroom. The teachers never notice when this happens. Students don't come up to him to see if he was ok. Nobody ever notices what happens, unless they were the ones doing the harm, which was most of them. Alec dropped his books on the ground and looked in the mirror. Why can't people just realise that I'm an actual person? I feel pain like them, I have feelings. Just because I like the same sex doesn't mean I'm actually different! Alec yelled to himself. Losing his temper, Alec punched the mirror. Sending bits of broken glass everywhere. He stared at his knuckles in winder. Blood was pouring out of the skin and down his arm. Alec realised that it brought him out of his misery and distracted him from the emotional pain. He picked up one of the broken pieces of glass and before he could change his mind he rolled up his sleeve.

No, Alec thought. I will not give them that power over me. Sure, his life sucked monkey balls. But what teenager's life didn't at some point? Alec sighed and put down the glass. Remembering his bloody knuckle, Alec grabbed some paper towels and cleaned his arm. Then he grabbed some toilet paper and wrapped it around his hand until the blood stoped soaking through it. Satisfied, Alec washed his face until all traces of Sebastian's saliva was off his face. He shuddered at the thought of something coming from Sebastian's mouth on his face.

Alec picked up his books and walked out of the bathroom and walked to his locker. Hepopped his books into his bag and shut his locker. No longer wanting to be in that Hell Hole anymore, Alec tried to stop himself from running out of there. He settled for a half gallop half run instead. Alec was so caught up in getting out of there that he didn't notice a pair of sparkly eyes watching him with curiosity and wonder.

Hi! So I thought I'd try something different and write a TMI story :) I was going to make it so that Alec would self harm but then I thought "No! Just because he wears black, likes MCR and gets bullied does NOT mean that he'll turn into someone who cuts themselves!" I was making a stand against stereo types I guess xD

So, I don't really have much to say besides that a new chapter for New Start will be out soon and to review :)

So did you like it? Should I continue it or just throw it away in a bin? :P

Random fact: I have the Ghost Busters theme song in my head ^_^
