Beep Beep Beep

I didn't get to sleep again. I'm really tired, but I need to get up for school. 

I got up and took a shower. After my shower, I put on my uniform and made sure to hide my wrists again. I went downstairs, made lunch, ate breakfast, and right before I went out the door, I hear my phone buzz.

[Hey]

It was Ken.

[Hey.]

[wanna walk to school together?]

[sure, where do you want to meet up?]

[how about the corner of Seventh av. and Shire dr.?]

[sure, meet you there in 5 min?]

[sure!]

Ba-dump

Huh? Why is my heart beating? Maybe I'm walking to fast? I mean, it makes sense, because I'm not an athletic kid, so I get tired easily. I slow down my pace, thinking that was the reason.

When I got there, he was already there, so we started walking. We talked about our interest in games, and how we both liked to cook. I also found out that he liked to play soccer, and in California, he played on a team.

"So, what position did you play?" I asked.

"Oh, I played defense, since I didn't have to do as much work as other people, but still played the game enough to have fun." He said.

'omg! They are already walking together! My ship will sail!' I heard some whispering to the left of me and saw some girls from my class. I already knew what they meant. The where huge fujoshi's. I quickly glanced down, blushing a little.

"So! How are your parents doing?" I asked him.

"Oh, they are doing fine! But they are still fighting, and they fight about useless things. But enough about me, how are your pa- Oh. Sorry, I forgot." He looked down, looking sad.

"It's...alright. You did move away for a few years, you were probably focused on other stuff and forgot..." I say sadly.

"But how could I forget something so important? I'm supposed to be your best friend..." He said.

"It's ok," I said. 

"Ok, let's just forget that that happened. So, did you make any friends while I was gone?" He asked.

"No, you know how I am. I'm too shy to talk to people. And the only time I do is during group projects..." I said.

"Well, let's change that! Starting today, we will get you another friend!" He said.

"Fine...But only if you help me." I said.

"Sure! Then we can all be friends!" He said joyfully.

We then walk onto campus. Going to our class. We sit and talk until the teacher comes in.

"Ok class, you will be working in groups of three for our next project. Choose your partners wisely, because some of you make the others do the work. Ok, now find your groups." Said Mr.Idk.

"Hey! Let's be in a group!" Said Ken.

"Sure," I said.

"Hey! This would be a great time to get you another friend!" Said Ken.

"Hey, Ken! Do you want to be in our group?" Said, two girls, as they walked towards us.

"Sorry, I'm in a group, but we do need one more person." Said Ken.

" I'll be in your group!" Said a boy, with brown hair, brown eye's, and caramel skin. His hair was in a ponytail also, and he had a big build, which looked scary. But I knew him, but I wouldn't say he was a friend. Though he looked mean, he was one of the nice kids in our class. He was also the straight A student.

"Sure," Said Ken.

"Ugh! Fine!" Said one of the two girls who came up to us, as they left.

"Hello! My name is Sean! Nice to meet you!" He said to both of us.

"Hello! I'm Ken, and this is Lev!" Said Ken.

"hello..." I said quietly.

"Shy type, eh." Said Sean.

"Yep! But he used to so energetic, Just like me!" said Ken.

"Really?" Said Sean.

"Ya! And you know what! His favorite color is pink!" Said Ken teasingly.

"Whaa?! STOP IT KEN!! STOP GIVING PEOPLE MY LIFE SECRETS AWAY!!" I said, making sure not to disturb the class, or be too loud.

"HAHAHA! NEVERMIND! He hasn't changed!" Said Ken smiling.

 We then exchanged numbers with Sean, and we walked to Ken's place to do the project.

"Ok, so the project is about our plants. So, care to explain why we are doing kinder stuff?" Ken asks us.

"Mr.Idk just doesn't like to put a lot of work into what projects he gives us," I said as we walked through the door.

"OH! Lev is that you!? I haven't seen you in forever!" Said Ken's mom.

"Hello, Mis. Klein. It's good to see you again." I said.

"How is Mr. Jackson doing?" She asked.

"He's ok, but I haven't seen him for the past 2 days. Probably because I have to get up earlier than him." In said.

"MOOM!" Ken said in annoyance. "We need to do our work!"

"Ok, ok. Hey, would you like to stay for dinner?" She asked.

"Sure," I said.

"Sure," Sean said.

We then went upstairs and did our work. We got to know each other better, which was good because of that meant that I could get another friend.

"Dinner time!" Said Mis. Klein.

"Comming!" We said in unison.

We came down the stairs. When we came down, we saw Ken's father sitting at the table, talking to his wife. We sat down at the table.

"Oh! Hey Lev! I haven't seen you for a while. How are you doing?" Ken's father asked.

"I'm doing fine..." I said.

We ate and talked about stuff. We talked about our class, our interests, and about our favorite things.

After dinner, Sean went home. Ken's family talked with us, and then soon went to bed. It was just me on the couch with Kennow.

"Hey, would you like to stay over tonight?" Ken asked me. 

"Sure, if it's ok with you parent's," I said.

"It's always ok!" He said.

We then went upstairs. Ken set up an extra bed on the ground for me to sleep in while I took a shower. After my shower, Ken took one, and I got ready for bed.

After Ken came out, we talked for a few minutes, and then went to bed.

I saw blood.

I saw mother with blood over her, and father with a knife. I saw mother on the ground.

"Mom?" I asked.

Father looked at me with an expression that scared me. My face lit up in horror as he came towards me with the knife.

I was so scared. I stood there. I was too scared to run or do anything for that matter. My knees became to shake. I felt like I was gonna fall. But I just stood there.

He was next to me in a minute. He held the knife up, and-

"Lev wake up!" I woke up to Ken over me. His face was concerned.

I was sweating and crying. My breathing was a mess.

"It's ok. I'm here now. Nothing is going to hurt you. I promise." He said in a soothing voice as he hugged me.

 He then picked me up bridal style and placed me on his bed. He then climbed next to me and put his arms around me, which soothed me.

After that nightmare, I couldn't sleep the rest of the night. So Ken stayed up with me.
