Chapter 1

I woke up with my shoulders killing me, well what can I expect falling asleep in the computer chair. But the new Photoshop was just calling me, that's the only upside to my dad working away all the time.

After stretching I padded my way towards the bathroom, the sky was a musky gray filled with clouds. Sighing, I turned on the hot water and popped some toast in the toaster. It was my normal Monday morning routine.

I stood in the mirror, looking at my hair curling at the ends from how wet it was. My eyes looked massive and dark against my pale skin. I looked on top of the medicine cupboard where the red hair dye sat, a present from Rae she sent with her last letter telling me to finally do something out of my comfort zone (She was put in foster care when we were 11 and lives on the other side of the country). I smiled, lifted my hand to the box and took a deep breath.

Time to do this thing.

Only that moment way too loud loud music approached from outside. Sighing, I threw the box in my bag and rushed out of my room, my hair still wet and dampening the back of my top.

I just about had time to grab my toast before Tori started to shout "OI BITCH HURRY THE FUCK UP", yes that is how she talks, all the time.

It makes me laugh now, I can't remember a time when she didn't swear or insult me. It's just her way of showing she cares. I dashed down the stairs and out the front door.

Tori already had the passenger door open and was waiting for me to jump in, I hadn't even closed the door before she started talking.

I don't have a clue how we became best friends, she's rude, aggressive and in your face while I'm the opposite.

Tori was cut off by Slipknot blasting through her speakers, she was the strangest cheerleader ever. I leaned over, turned the music down and changed it to CD, letting Edd Sheeran take over from the crazy guitar solo that had kicked in not a minute before.

"So when's your dad home" Tori asked taking a corner at 40 miles an hour.

"Not for another two weeks, he phoned last night" I said, watching kids jumping out the way as Tori's truck swung into her usual spot. The engine died and we sat in silence for a minute.

"What present did you get this time?" She asked, looking into the mirror to fix her lip-gloss.

"The new Photoshop" I replied, grabbing my bag and opening the door.

See, the thing with Tori and me is our parents. While my mum died when I was 5, leaving me with my dad, (not exactly farther of the year) he just doesn't know how to look after me, so I take care of myself mostly.

But Tori's mum and dad are still together, her mum is a complete bitch and repeatedly tells Tori she's a mistake while pampering her older sister. We sort of fit together with the malfunctioned family situation.

I turned around to ask Tori if I could have a lift home, only I kept walking backwards and tripped backwards over the curb.

A small scream emanated from my lips, when two strong arms wrapped around my waist, pulling my arms toward my chest and saving me from hitting the floor. Looking up, I was meet with a pair of dark eyes looking back. I was pushed back onto my feet forcefully.

Turning around he said over his shoulder "Watch where you're going next time." before sulking off.

"God, I can't believe I'm related to that prick" Tori said, picking up my bag and handing it to me.

I walked into school, looking at Derek's back, he was adopted but Tori classes him as family now no matter how much they hate each other.

Derek and his brother Simon moved here two years ago with their dad Kit, Tori's uncle from her dad's side. They moved because their dad got a job offer. Simon is the social one, blond with light brown eyes and olive toned skin, while Derek is antisocial with dark greasy hair. I wasn't too sure of what color his eyes where until her caught me this morning; dark green.

But other than that, there isn't much to their story.

Tori waved as she made her way to her locker on the other end of the corridor; we had been unable to get lockers next to each other. I placed my books in my locker, wishing I could go home and play with my new Photoshop. Instead, I closed my locker and made my way to the home room.

The room was already full by the time I got there, they boys were setting up a prank for our teacher and the girls were all huddled up gossiping about the latest party. I waved to Liz and sat down at the front. Liz is class president, newspaper editor as well as head cheerleader and once again I met her through Tori. I pulled out my timetable and waited for my first class to start.

My first two lessons passed and I once again stood outside my locker thinking whether or not I should take my drama book for fourth after PE, when a loud bang made me jump a foot in the air.

The sound of soft laughter made me look around my locker door, with a hand over my heart. And there stood Simon with a wide smile, showing all his teeth and his head tilted back.

"God Chloe, you're so jumpy" He said while laughing. I couldn't help but blush and look down, only looking down made me look at his chest, which was normally not a problem apart from today. He was wearing a white T-shirt which hugged his body very nicely.

Okay, I fancy Simon, a lot.

"Getting a kick out of scaring little girls now?" Tori said walking over to lean behind me and glare at Simon.

"Ah just the girl I wanted to see-" Simon said smiling and crossing his arms over his chest.

"Dad said to come round for tea tonight, he broke his camera" His smile widened just a little as Tori rolled her eyes.

"What you mean is he wants me to come around and fix his camera" She said, crossing her arms, too.

"Pretty much, but you get free food as well." he got distracted then, waving at some of his friends; he smiled once again, said goodbye and wandered off with them.

"Gym class baby!" Tori shouted before pulling me off to the changing rooms.

Today running the track was on the agenda, let me just make something clear for you, I'm skinny and small, skinny legs and 5 feet 1 is not made for running. At all.

I was plodding along the way behind everyone else, normally Tori would for with me but running is her favorite sport; her long legs were made for it.

Running at the pace of a snail gave me the chance to look around, there was only one other PE class out with us today, and they were playing football.

I watched as guys walked out, including Simon, who was laughing and messing around.

And my stupid infatuation with him is the reason I ended up with my mouth full of sand.

I felt something hard slam into my back and my hands went up too late to stop me from hitting the floor, coughing and fighting to get up I found myself pinned to the floor by Tori.

"God, you really are slow aren't you?" she laughed, getting up and pulling me with her, she grabbed my hand and made me run with her.

Full out sprint, 500 meters, twice.

I had almost collapsed by the end of it, while Tori ran backwards laughing.

I couldn't help smiling at her.

That's as eventful as my day got, I walked across the parking lot towards Tori's car, where she sat head banging to whatever she was listening to. Opening the door I found the seat full of random wires and what looked like the remains of a DVD player.

Throwing them to the floor Tori took off, hitting 50 miles an hour before we had even left the parking lot. The thing with Tori is that her dad is a cop and her mum works in medical science so they're quite rich. Her mum pays for the car so Tori trashes is and breaks speed limits so her dad pays the fine, a little bit of payback or so she says.

Today, however was not that kind of day, it started to rain in big heavy drops and taking a corner at 50miles and hour was a very bad idea, there was a loud pop and the car skidded to a stop, slamming me against my seat belt.

"SHIT, MOTHERFUCKER!" The swear words continued for a good five minuets before she finally climbed out to look at the front of the car. I climbed out after her, shaking from the cold and drenched thoroughly within seconds.

It was just like a horror film, two girls with a broken down car in the dark and its raining.

And I can't run.

" What broke" I asked, looking up and down the road, a good half an hour walk from my house.

"The fan belt" Tori replied from the front of the car.

I leaned against the bonnet and waited for her to either fix it or call her mum.

Only at that moment a pair of headlights came down the road, the car stopped suddenly and two doors opened and two men ran up to us.

"Tori" I said, her head came around the bonnet, I couldn't see their faces through the rain and headlights.

"Grab the crow bar." Yes, Tori has a crow bar with her at all times.

Mainly for me, she's okay in a fight, it just makes me feel safe.

I reached into the window and grabbed the crow bar

"Whoa, Chloe, its me, Simon!" I squinted as they got closer and recognized Simons blond hair plastered to his forehead and Derek standing behind him.

"Can you lie down please." Derek said, I looked at him then.

"Your legs are covered in blood, lie down please" I could hear the irritation seeping out of his voice.

Looking down I saw red all the way down my tights and all over the left side of my skirt, I couldn't help being shocked.

"Shit Chloe I'm so sorry" Tori said coming around the car.

"It's fine, it doesn't hurt at all." I started to move my arm down to where the blood was when Derek's hand grasped mine stopping it from moving further down. I could tell he was only holding my hand lightly but it still hurt.

"Lie down please, if it doesn't hurt then it might be to the bone" He said anger filling his voice.

I started to lie down, the floor hurting my back, I felt Derek's hands on my ankle moving upwards, asking if it hurt at all and if I could move it.

I felt no pain.

Then I felt a blush creep up over my chest to my cheeks as his hands found my thigh.

"Erm, I could just check myself over, honestly" My voice came out strangled as he started to push harder against my thigh.

The first boy to have his hands up my skirt and it was to checkif my hip bone had popped out.

"I cant feel any cuts or anything." He said, sitting back, I pulled my legs under me and sat back.

Moving my hand to the blood and smearing it on my finger, I brought it to my nose.

"It's not blood, it's hair dye" I said wiping my finger on the floor

"God, you had me so worried then Chloe." Simon said. Derek just stood up and stepped away, he looked angry again.

How was I supposed to know it was my hair dye?

"You're going red?" Tori said looking at the dye on my skirt.

"Thinking about it" I placed the crow bar in the back of the car, all the tension had gone.

"Give me a lift." It was Tori's way of being polite.

"What about your car?" Simon asked, grabbing some boxes from the back seat.

"Let someone set it on fire" Tori answered, grabbing the last boxes.

"She's going to get red all over the back of my car" Derek said moving his head in my direction

I felt small and out of place as everyone looked at me.

"I've got a spare of Joggers, if you don't mind putting them on" Simon said.

"Erm, sure." I started to walk towards Tori and Simon, staying clear out of Derek's way.

I sat in the back of the car, my top was glued to me, Simons pants hung on me, making me look smaller than I am.

Tori called shotgun. I was huddled into the door of the car, as far away from Derek as I could get

"Nice place, Sanders." Simon said and whistled.

"Thanks" I said with a small smile.

Saying goodbye I ran to the front door and let myself in. The cleaner had been here, I found a microwavable pizza and stuck it in

After jumping into the shower and throwing on my lazy clothes I started up the computer and messed around on Photoshop.

See, the problem with me is I get to excited about things like this, I have everything mastered and if I don't get off it soon I never will. So instead of climbing into bed I got a bowl of ice cream and put a film on, settling in with a blanket and the ice cream.

Have you ever just felt perfectly comfortable and were happy where you are? Well, that was how I was.

Until the doorbell went off.

Tori stood on my doorstep, drenched to the skin and holding a bag and a sleeping bag under her arm

"Mum went fucking crazy about the car." she said walking past me.

I don't get why she still brings the sleeping bag she always ends up sleeping in my bed anyway.

She told me about the argument, how her mum embarrassed her in front of Kit and so on. Then she showered, got into her PJ's and curled up on the couch with me, a bowl with melted ice cream and the film.

Well what is everyones Opinions ?x

Review, even if it's just this once please x
