Taking all shattered ones to where we belong-Chapter 1
I stood in front of a small desk located in Mckinley highs main office. A small women typed furiously on the computer. Her brown eyes met my honey colored ones.
" your name again sweetheart?" she said with a smile.
" Amorrie Monroe." I stated softly. I hate this damened routine. But he says we can't stay in NYC anymore. To many memories. More because his fucking drunk ass is broke and this was the cheapest place. I smiled as the secretary welcomes me and hands me my schedual. I stare down the list, I basically had maybe 4 classes out of nine and was free. 1st period, Free. I walk down the crowded halls getting looks of confusion and there giggles and chuckles penatrate my ears. Fuck them. My NYC attitude is something to watch your back about. I arrive at my locker and toss my shit in lazily . I stare in the locker mirror. My black long hair and bangs covered my pale dead features. I seem to always look this way since, it happened. Since she left me . She's now in a better place where as she left me down here with a drunken bastard , a troubled step brother and a cancer ridden younger sister .Thanks mom. I slammed my locked shut in anger.
I flinched and curse out loud as my arm aches . I slowly push up my sleeve to check on my severe black and blue , he left last night. I shook my head and held back tears from the pain. I haven't cried since I was nine years old, and I said goodbye to my mother for the last time. Ive held in all of my emotions and kept a straight face for another 8 years. I sighed and made to turn around. Suddenly a hand tapped me on my back. I jumped. A natural reflex I developed in the last 8 years.
" Im sorry I didn't mean to scare you, Im kurt." I turned to find a petite boy standing there with a friendly smile. I smile back and take his hand. I examine him. Head to toe I knew this boy found the opposite sex non appealing. Cute.
" Its ok kurt. Im Amorrie Monroe." His smile widens.
" I love your name and your sense of style for that matter ," He says linking arms with me. " Indie , very delcious." He says laughing. Indie? Labels? Oh no. I was now in degrassi slash mean girls. Was indie a good thing here? Whatever. All I know is that I am me. As we start walking he takes hold of my schedual. His eyes scan the page and a smile reappears.
" Your in all of my classes. Except the art ones. I perfer the performing arts. In fact im heading to glee right now, if you'd like to join and watch." Glee? Like a show quier? Should've expected that from him. Not to be stereotypical or mean, he just seemed like he was a broadway futurist. He pulls me toward a room filled with,whoa. Two asians, two cheerleaders, two jocks, a pregnant blonde a kid in a wheel chair a black girl future r&b singer and a high maitence bouncy girl. I smiled awkwardly as all of there heads turned in on me and kurts entrance. A man with short curly hair and a flawless smile walked up to us.
" Are you recruiting for us kurt?" he said shaking my hand.
" Oh no, im just here to watch if thats alright. Im free this period kurt said it was ok." The teacher laughed and nodded.
" Of course, we'd love an audience." I smiled and sat on the piano bench. He turned around to the class and got there attention. I turned to the keys of this baby grand black piano. My fingers lightly touch them. I could feel her again. Like a sudden rush lyrics and notes ran through my head.
"Ok guys, Unfortunatly our pianest is sick today so we'll be doing acapella." He said walking over to the board and writing it down. Im still getting starred at. as they call him turned to them once again. " Oh and everyone were going to have an audience today." He motioned for me to stand I did. " Guys this is …." He trailed off, Guess thats my cue.
" Oh sorry um Amorrie Monroe." I smiled awkwardly. He smiled at me. I could sense his eyes examine me as I stare back at the keys. I haven't seen a piano since we sold it 8 years ago.
" Hey amorrie, Do you play?" I jump slightly at voice bringing me back. I let a sad small smile cross my lips.
" Yes , I used to . I mean I remember notes and such." His eyes brighten.
" Would you like to play for us? Since our pianest will be gone for a week?" I pondered his question in shock. Me play? I stare back at the black and white keys one last time. Should I ? I mean im so tempted. I couldn't take it. They were calling me like a drug. I nodded and whispered a yes. "Wonderful, thank you so much." He said handing me the music sheets. I scan them with my eyes. I can now remember everything she taught me. You found me by the fray. This song has been on repeat on my ipod for months. My smile increased. I looked up into his eyes. " You know it?" I nod with apprehension . He motions for everyone to stand , one of the jocks by the name of finn stood front and center. He smiled and winked in my direction. I blushed and looked down. What the fuck. I looked up and met his eyes once more. Something inside my chest started to race. My stomach did backflips. I took a deep breath. His eyes. They burned into mine. Mr. Shue motioned for me to start. I started to play notes. I closed my eyes. I was back in our small living room. Without realizing I started to sing.
Where were you Where were you?
Lost and insecure
you found me
you found me
lying on the floor
surrounded surrounded
whyd you have to wait
where were you where were you?
Just a little late
You found me You found me
Whyd you have to wait to find me to find me.
I pealed my eyes open but all I wanted was to be back in our small living room in nyc playing my mothers grand piano. When I looked up from the keys, everyones eyes were on me. I didn't know why. I mean anyone can play piano. The jock who was obviously the lead male singer had a breathless smile on. Mr shue look like he was about to explode his smile was so wide. Everyone elses was either jealousy or shock.
" Im sorry did I play it wrong?" I asked innocently.
" Your voice. Its so soft and peaceful and pure. Beautiful beautiful job." He said clapping. Everyone suddenly started clapping . Kurt ran up and hugged me . I giggled and hugged back. The jock aka Finn as they call him walked up slowly to me. My breath stopped in my lungs. I starred into his eyes.
" You did an amazing job. Im finn by the way." He stuck out his hand I took it.
" Amorrie." I whisper. I jumped as the bell sounded through the halls signaling 1st period over. I sighed and grabbed my bag. I made to walk out but stopped when a hand found my arm. I spun around to come face to face with Mr. Shuester.
" Amorrie,-" He started.
" Morrie, I perfer morrie." I smiled. He nodded.
" You have an amazing gift for music. You should join. I'd like another lead female." A thought entered my mind. Should I? I mean I felt so relieved to grace the black and white keys with my fingers , that I accidently started to sing. But that would mean thinking about her. A lot. Everyday. Was I ready?
" Um, Ill get back to you on that ." He smiled and accepted my offer. I said my goodbyes and left his room. Next period history. I starred down at the sheet music he had given me. It was like my entire Ipod contents. I smirked at me singing . I never really sang more of the instrument type. My feet aimlessly took me to the history room. All of a sudden I smacked right into a large wall. Or person. It felt like a wall. I stumbled back and fell. My books went flying. I groaned and rubbed my forehead.
" Shizza." I hissed in german. I sat up to see , Finn. Oh shit. Real Smooth Amorrie. He held out a hand and helped me up . I sighed and picked up my book shoving them in my shoulder bag.
" Im so sorry are you ok?" He stated franticly. He handed me my purse. I nodded.
" Yeah i've had worse. Fuck." I rubbed my arm. I Had landed on last weeks beat marks. Wonderful. I rolled up my sleeve to find a black and blue the size of a baseball. Oh yay, it grew from a golf ball to a baseball. Finn must've noticed cause I heard a gasp. I looked up to find his eyes bulging out of his head.
" What its a bruise, you're in football im sure you've had worse." He shook his head.
" No, but that looks really painful, maybe you should go to the-"
" Nah, I'll live finn. Promise." I laughed walking into class. He walked in after me. I made my way to the back sat in the last row, Hoping not to be noticed. Finn's ass plopped into the seat on my right. Doesn't Give up does he? I starred around the room and found the blonde pregnant one from glee glaring in me and finns direction. Uh oh. I think I crossed a line. A really thick one. Fuck. This was gonna be a long year. I put my head in my hands.
