Maka's P.O.V
I woke up to the very familiar sound of my alarm clock. I quickly got up and shut it off. Praying my father did not hear it go off. I got dressed in a black t-shirt and some old jeans. Threw on my old Nikes with duck tape over the left toes. Brushed my hair and my teeth and ran down stairs.
I was welcomed once again by the scent of beer. I wrinkled my nose and grabbed my black worn out messenger bag. I looked at myself in the old and cracked mirror. I winced I had a split lip and a black eye not to mention the hundreds of bruises on my arms. I ran back up stairs trying to be quite so I would not wake the sleeping beast.
I changed my t-shirt to a long sleeved black sweater. I mean it was early winter so no one would question it. Actually no one cared either way. I mean come on at school EVERYONE hates my guts. Well not Stein but he only cared cause be for my mom and twin brother, Mike, moved to Japan he was like my second father.
However that was along time ago. Before my mom and dad divorced. Before my mom moved away taking my twin brother with her. And WAY before my father beat and butt raped me every night. Back when my life was easy and happy. Then my parents divorced. My father began to drink and smoke. Then to make my life worse would call my mom and say I did all that and he tried so hard to stop me. My mother even believed him! My brother didn't though he loved me but I hardly am able to call him, so to summaries I'm all alone.
I ran down the stairs and out the door. I started to walk to school. That is my other nightmare. I get bullied everyday. I have no friends there so I'm still very much alone. But my cries and sadness fall on deaf ears. I tried not to care but it hurts to be alone and the one person who loves me was so far out of reach. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard kids laughing. I then noticed I was at school.
I walked fast to get to class. On my way I passed the biggest group of my bullies. The Thomson sisters, Crona, Soul, Tsubaki, and my once friend Black*star; He hates me now. I looked over at a new guy he was hot. I blushed as his golden gaze landed on me. Something flashed across his eyes. Was it sadness, or pity? I could not tell. I tried to pass them but Tsubaki got in my way.
"Hay bitch! what's up whore?" Liz asked with a sneer on her lips.
"You look like road kill!" Patty laughed
"She always dose!" Soul laughed evilly.
I ran past Tsubaki and straight for the music room. With my horrible life I could ever only let the pain out by singing or drawing. Reading doesn't help as much. It used to until I wished so much that I could be in the books instead of in the real world. So all they did was make my heart ache more.
I went to the piano and started to play a tune as familiar to me as my eye color. After a second I sang.
The voice of winds heralds winterStraining my ears to it, I trembleNext to you, I see your white breathIt looks freezingIt's time of year for life to wither againAnd eagerly wait for the next springI listen to the spiral of lifeIn the light sprouting out like a budKnowing I'm fated to rust away,I desperately wish yet to liveI still wanna singI hope to make my mark on the worldProof that I did live...I don't want a tearjerker songI mean it, please, at this momentLet me still smile happily...next to youI wanna sing more heartwarming songsHaving over wintered a few times,I finally realized what this feeling wasI had no chance to tell it to youBut I believe our souls are linked straightI can't see anything but darkness...I can't hear anything at all...I'm scared...I feel painful...I'm lonely...Despite everything is witheringYour gentle smile stays in meI'm taking it with me...Please keep singing heartwarming songsEven if you are despaired of lonelinessDon't forget that I'll be always around youYou'll never ever be aloneI'm not lonely because I have youI feel your warm hands holding meI can't hear anything but I feel,Through your fingers..."I love you," your heartI don't want a tearjerker songI mean it, please, at this momentLet me sing with you moreI wanna sing heartwarming songs with you yetI'll dedicate a farewell song to youBefore I depart this life, I wanna tell youThank you
I started to cry but ignored it. The bell rang and I got up and ran to my first hour; science with professor Stein. When I got inside, Stein looked at me sadly. He knew, I know he did, he simply looked away. He couldn't save me just make it worse. I took my seat and was relived, no push pins on my chair.
"Everyone today we have a new student. I want you to be nice to him okay." Stein said.
"Okay." the class replied
"OKAY COME IN!" Stein yelled.
A boy walked in. He had black hair and three white stripes in his hair. I blushed when his golden gaze landed on me. I saw something flash across his eyes. Was it sadness, or pity? I didn't know. I did know he was the same boy. The same boy who was with the Thomson sisters this morning.
"Intro please?" Stein joked but the boy didn't laugh his eyes were still on me. But even I couldn't look away.
"HELLOOOOO ANYONE HOME!?" Stein asked waving a hand in front of his face. I looked away blushing.
"Oh my apologies." he started and I turned to face him again. His eyes were still on me but this time he spoke. "My name is Kid. I don't really use my last name so please just call me Kid. I just move here from Philadelphia to live with my father."
"Okay now one at a time raise your hands and Kid will pick one of you to ask any question. Tell him your name and when your done our kid has a mental break we can sit down and have class so start." Stein said
KID'S P.O.V.
I watched as EVERY hand in the class went up besides the girl who had my full attention. She had a black eye and a split lip. I could also just see some bruises on her neck that looked like fingers. When I first saw her I felt bad. Liz had told me that 'I just had to see this dumb bitch they make fun of' but she seemed so… broken it made me want to cry.
When she ran off I chased her and heard her sing. It was beautiful yet it held so much pain and sadness. When the bell rang I hid and she ran to class. She was so…. So interesting I wanted her to look at me with eyes full of happiness and not those sad and broken eyes. I took a breath and waited for a split second but her hands were on her desk and she was looking down.
I looked around and saw Liz. She scared me when I walked in the school she dragged me to her group and introduced me to her and her creepy friends. However her hand was up. I pointed to her.
"Hi I'm Liz and are you single?"
"Yes." I said pointing to her sister Patty
"I'm Patty! Do you like giraffes!?"
"Sure…." I pointed to Soul
"Do you like music? And I'm the coolest guy here Soul Evens!"
"Yes I love music." I noticed that girl perked up at that with a small smile. She must love music. I pointed to… fuck… what was his name!? Liz told me it!
"I'M THE GREAT BLACK*STAR AND CAN YOU COOK CAUSE YA LOOK LIKE ONE OF THOSE GAY GUYS WHO CAN COOK AND SSEW AND ALL THAT SHIT?!"
"Yes I can cook and I can sort of sew but … I AM NOT GAY!" I yelled and the class laughed. I pointed to Tsubaki.
"Can you draw? And I'm Tsubaki." she sad sweetly but I knew she was mean to the other girl.
"Yes I can draw and I like to draw." I said and I noticed the girl with those sad green eyes looked at me with a smile she must like drawing. I pointed to a pink haired …girl? Boy? I don't know the pink haired freak that was with Liz!
"I-I'm C-crona….. Do you li-ike to read?"
"Yes." I said and pointed to a bald dude.
"I'm Ox Ford. Are you smart? Cause you look dumb" what an asshole
"Well I passed with straight A's last year and the year before that so I'm gonna say….no" I glared at him
"I knew it another person with a rich parent to get them in this school!" he returned my glare
"Well my father is rich he is a mayor and let me think…. The principle of a school called the DWMA" ox looked like he saw a ghost I heard a soft giggle and turned to see the girl with the green eyes giggling.
"SHUT UP MAKA! YOUR ONLY HERE CAUSE OF YOU DAD!" ox yelled
The girl, Maka, stopped laughing.
" Ox last time I checked she is the one person smarter then you in this class.. Also isn't your mom like killer rich and paying to let you be in this school." stein smirked as ox sunk back in his chair.
I chuckled and pointed to a guy with awesome shades.
"I'm Harvard and are you really the son of principle Death?"
"Yes I am." I said and pointed to a girl with pink hair. This one was definitely a girl.
"I'm Kim. How old are you?"
"Sixteen." I pointed to a girl with long brown hair.
"I'm Jackie. What color do you like most and what color do you hate?"
"I like green." I said and looked at Maka "Green like her eyes it is a very beautiful color." I said and she blushed
"PLEASE HER EYES ARE U! G! L! Y! I WOULD KNOW!" Black*star yelled I looked at Maka her head was down.
"And the color I hate is the color of Black*star's hair it is disgusting. I want to puke." I said and glared at him the room went silent and Black*star looked pissed. I pointed to one of the last people.
"I'm Kilik do you play any instruments?"
"Yes I play the piano ,guitar and violin."
"HOW MUCH MORE GAY CAN YOU BE!" Black*star yelled
I ignored him and pointed to Liz since her hand was up again.
"Would you date me?"
"Ummmm I don't know what the future holds?" I said but it came out like a question. Then I saw Maka's hand go up. I pointed at her WAY to fast if she asked Liz's question I would say yes SO quick.
"I'm Maka, Maka Albarn. Do you sing?" she asked in a small voice.
Liz answered for me, "SING! HE IS A MAN SO OF COURSE NOT! NO ONE LIKES YOU SO STAY QUITE!" She hissed Maka seamed to shrink
Stein seamed ready to yell but I cut him off. "Yes Maka I do like to sing, and I think something I would like to hear you sing . "
"Okay Kid you will sit next to Maka." Stein said and I nodded and sat next to her. When I sat down I accidentally bumped her arm. She winced slightly.
"Sorry did I hurt you?"
"No! no . I'm fine." she said smiling just then the bell rang.
"Well I got to go to music can you show me were it is." she was about to say something when Liz grabbed me and squealed dragging me away from Maka.
MAKA'S P.O.V.
I sighed and was walking to music room when Patty tripped me. I fell and hit the floor hard, I winced. She grabbed my hair and pulled me up then she threw me against a wall before she said
"Listen bitch Kid is already my sisters property. Touch him… no if you fucking talk to him you will wish you died."
She punched me and the stomach and I fell to the floor and muttered, "I already do." after a minuet I got up and ran to the music room. Kid was trapped by the Thompson group. I went to my seat as Mrs. Murry, the music teacher came in. she was a sweat looking old lady. I loved her he wa one of the best teachers here.
"Okay class do any of you want to sing for the class?"
"I DO I DO" Liz screamed and everyone groaned. Liz could do a lot, but sing was not something she could do.
"UMMMM you always sing for us what about Maka?" she looked at me with her owl like eyes. She knew I could sing she came to the room on more than one case to listen.
"WHAT SHE CAN'T SING SHE PROUBLY STINKS!" Liz, Patty and Black*star yelled
"She can if she wants to." Mrs. Murry said
"She doesn't though!"
"I might." I mumbled
"Then go a head dear." Mrs. Murry said
I got up and walked to the front. I plugged my ipod in. and went down to a song that did not have lyrics to it. It started to play and Liz Yelled.
"She is just gonna lip sink Mrs. Murry as you favorite student I object."
"I doubt that but let listen to it once without you singing my dear." she said turning to me. I nodded and after they heard there was no lyrics to it I re-started the song after a second I began to sing.
In a little port on the outskirts of a town,A young girl stands this sea, there existedAn old tradition from before."Write your wish on a piece of parchmentAnd place it in a little you let it flow with the sea, somedayYour wish will come true."Flow along, little glass bottleWith a message containing a the other side of the horizon,There, it quietly always did everything for my sakeAll that I wanted, and yetI was always so selfishAnd troublesome to , who grant my wishes,Are no longer my thoughts, on this seaArrive at their destination?Flow along, little wishTears and a little bit of I had realized my sins,It was always after everything was already along, little glass bottleWith a message containing a the other side of the horizon,There, it quietly along, little wishTears and a little bit of we were to be reborn...
When the song ended no one moved. Even Liz was speechless. Then Kid clapped and so did other.
"Wonderful Maka-chan! Mike-Kun would be so Proud of you!" Mrs. Murry and Stein yelled
Wait! When did he get here
"Stein when did you get here." I asked
"Oh I found your phone and came to give it to you. BUT REALLY I WISH MIKE COULD HERE YOU! HE WOULD LOVE IT!" he yelled
"I highly doubt that." I muttered Mike can sing so mush better than me
"Of course he would child he is you brother! He would love to sing with his Twin sister with that Pretty voice of yours" Mrs. Murry yelled
"YOU HAVE A TWIN BROTHER!?" kid yelled
"Ummm yeah I do but he lives in Japan." I said in a quite voice.
"DO YOU HAVE A PICTURE I ALWAYS FIND IT COOL HOW CLOSE TWINS LOOK!"
I stared at him for a second and the giggled. I grabbed my phone from Stein and pulled up a picture of Mike and showed him. He took my phone and looked back and forth between me and mike's picture.
"YOU LOOK JUST LIKE ONE ANOTHER!"
I snatched my phone and went back to my seat smiling.
(time skip to after school)
I ran home afraid Liz would kick my ass for second hour. When I got closer to home I slowed down. The same thought found its way into my head. I would walk in the house and it would be clean. And I would see mike. Holding a cake with welcome back on it. He would hug me an tell me dad quit drinking and smoking. Also that he would never leave me again. I didn't care if there was a clean house, cake, or a better dad I just want Mike to come home that has been my wish ever since the divorcé. I still remember it.
When my parent divorced my mom took Mike and left in the middle of the night. I never saw them again. I got a call telling me they were in Japan a month later. When they left my papa would drink and beat me like crazy. Stein however bought me things like a laptop, phone, Ipod, he even redid my room for me. He buys everything I need too. He is like my dad now.
I walked up to my door and opened it. I walked over the broken glass and to my room. I pulled out my key and unlocked it. Once inside I locked it. My room was untouched.
A bed in the corner, made up of purpled sheets and thousand of pillows. A nightstand was next to my bed with a green lamp, and a copy of the city of glass on it. Under it was a mini-fridge another gift from Stein. In another corner was a purple desk with my laptop, sketch pad, pencils, and pens on it. Above it was about four shelves. Each having a ton of books.
Then to the far wall was my closet and hanging on the door was a tall mirror. The only other door lead to my bathroom. The walls were a nice lavender color with splashes of other colors like, Neon blue, neon pink, red, black, white, and neon green. The floor was made of cherry wood. My room unlike the rest of the house was clean. I set my bag on my bed when my father yelled for me to get him a bear.
I ran out of my door and locked once outside. I put the key in my bra so my dad wouldn't look for it…. I hoped. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a cup. I filled it with ice and poured some bear in it. I poured to quickly and spilt a very small amount. I gasped an went to get napkins but my dad grabbed my hand and flung it away making me hit the cup. It fell to the floor with a loud "smash".
"YOU DUMB BITCH!" My papa yelled
He grabbed the back of my head and smashed my head onto the counter. I fell to the ground holding my head he took the chance and kicked me over and over again until I passed out.
KID'S P.O.V
I was at home in my room BOTDF'S Believe In Me was playing. I kept thinking about Maka. Why was she so hurt? Then I remembered that song she sang this morning. It would have been nice to play at my mothers funeral. My mothers death is the only reason I'm in death city. When she died I had to come all the way across the country to live with my dad.
My thoughts slowly drifted back to Maka. Then an image came to mind. I ran to my drawing room and opened my sketch book. I grabbed a pencil and drew for hours. I drew Maka on her knees. She was wearing a white dress and was holding a bottle with poison in it. She had angel wings. When I got to her face I left out the injuries but made her crying with those sad sad eyes of hers. She also had a chain around her throat the led to the hands of Liz. Liz in the drawing had a whip in on hand a devil tail and horns on her head. She was wearing thigh high boots. A top that did not cover much and matching shorts. I finished my work and I went to bed.
MAKA'S P.O.V.
I woke up hours later and went to my room. I took a shower then put on a blue tang-top and green shorts. I looked in the mirror. I looked like an old rag doll. I sighed and went to my desk. I grabbed my sketch book and a pencil and started to draw Kid. After a few hours I put down my book and went to my window. I opened it and Blair, a stray cat I let sleep in my room, hoped in purring. I chuckled and went to bed with the cat next to my chest.
