Chereads / The Monsters We Hold Inside / Chapter 2 - Chapter 1

Chapter 2 - Chapter 1

To start off the morning I wake up to my mom yelling at freaking 7:30 in the morning as if the rest of the world needs to hear her scream like a rooster with its' head cut off.

"ALEX WAKE YOUR ASS THE FUCK UP RIGHT NOW"

Isn't it lovely to wake up to an abusive and drunk mother yelling at you to get up just to get ready and go and sit through 6 hours of slow and boring torture but anyways with that I get out of bed and walk to the bathroom just to look in the mirror and say the usual which is "Well damn I look like shit as usual but then again I do have to deal with this every day"

As I finish my daily routine, I put on my cloths for school which isn't really that exciting since its nothing but a black button up shirt with black ripped jeans with chains hanging from the pocket and 2 different silver necklaces to compliment the chains and a couple of rings that go with it since I don't really like wearing all that much jewelry.

As I grab my essentials such as my bookbag my phone and my charger and my concelar and foundation to cover the ever so visible bruise marks as a daily reminder of just how shitty my life really is but ive come to accept it. I walk downstairs, and I'm instantly met with a slap to the face without warning so I stumble back a bit and just for the record I'm not at all built I'm actually quite skinny and a bit pale but meh I plan on building some muscle sometime soon.

I'm snapped back to reality with my mom yelling at me yet again how much of a disappointment I am and continuing to lay hands on me so I pretty much just lay there and take it and afterward , so I just walk last her and head out the door grabbing my car keys and text James I'm on the way. But with that as I'm driving to pick up James, I realized I was crying but I don't care so j just wipe away the tears.

As I pull up to James's house, I can see he's energetic, but I've always wondered what it's like to have loving parents like his that'll actually care for and love you.

"YO ALEX WHATS UP BROSKIE" I can hear the energeticness in his voice but as soon as he gets in the car he asks, "It happened again...didn't it" and just like that I can hear the sad tone in his voice. "Y-Yeah it did" I say answering his question a bit dead toned. "Hey how many times I gotta tell you...you can live with me my mom and dad love having you around" I look at him a little sad now "Yeah I know but I'm gonna wait till I can get everything together without her noticing"

If you're wondering what I mean by that we'll I've been gathering all my things and have been saving up money from the job, I have as of right now and when I decide to, I plan on leaving and getting as all apartment I found for sale, but I'll initiate it in the upcoming 3 days.

"Alright fine but come on we can't be late to school" and with that I'm driving towards the other hell hole we call school

******

As I walk towards my locker and start to grab everything out of it, I notice out of the corner of my eye my bully Ethan walking towards me, so I quickly get everything out of my locker and hurry towards my English class. As soon as I get in my English class I go to the back of the class near the window where I usually sit because it's quite peaceful, but the class is pretty empty seeing as I always get here a bit earlier than everyone else, I don't mind it because I like the quietness. About 10 minutes later everyone starts rolling into the class and then our teacher Mr. Wayford walks in, and everyone gets quiet.

"Good morning class" he says with a bit of raspiness in his voice. "GOOD MORNING MR. WAYFORD" the class says in a mostly tired tone "Now to start the morning off today we have a new student joining us for the rest of the school year" Thats when I hear mostly everyone start whispering and most of them were along the lines of "I wonder if it's a boy and if he's hot" or "I wonder if it's another girl dude" and all the dumb whisperings you'll usually hear. "Ok now everyone please quite down and you may enter and introduce yourself"

Now what caught me off guard a bit was that he was very eye pleasing if I'm being honest that is he had like crystalized blue eyes that looked kinda like the ocean and you'd drown in them if you stared at them for a little too long and skin that you looked so smooth to the touch and is the color of a milky brown and he was quite defined in muscle might I add and his hair oh my god it looked so soft and curly he had like locks in his head that deafferented in to 2 colors black and red but I was snapped back to reality when he started to speak his voice was like a smooth deep bass.

"Hello everyone, my names Jayden I transferred from Eastwood Highschool I can speak 3 different languages which are Japanese Spanish and French I like wolves and horror movies and I hope we can be good friends" he ended it with a bit of a husky laugh and with that the teach said

"Ok Jayden thank you for the introduction now if you could I'd like you to sit next to Alex...Alex please raise your hand" and so me being caught off guard raised my hand a little too fast and with that he started walking towards me and I don't know how I just noticed this but he's very tall I'd say roughly 6'3 at least so he'd tower over me if we were to stand next to each other.

Skipping to the end of English class Jayden came up to me and asked if I could show him around the school and me being me, I stumbled on my words but eventually said yeas and while I was showing him around the school, I got to know a little bit about him and turns out he's a book nerd which is pretty cool in my opinion but like all good things must come to an end and so we parted ways to go to the rest of our classes and so the rest of the school day went pretty normal get bullied a bit at lunch get punched around a few times when I go to put my things in my locker and then I just went home which was pretty peaceful since my "mom" wasn't there.

In that time, I decided to read a new book I got at the library it's about a war between clans because apparently someone broke a treaty and blah blah blah but apparently, I got to into the book because it was now getting dark so it'd be around 3 hours till my mom gets home so i decide to take a little midnight stroll but an hour into my stroll I heard a scream from the woods that I was walking near and of course I decided to go and check it out but the interesting thing is that while I was walking towards the noise I saw a Large blur before being knocked out.

I woke up the next morning in my bed with a huge headache, so I tried asking Star (alter) if they decided to front, they said no so I asked the other 8 and they all said no as well so now what had me so confused is when I went to go to the bathroom in 1 step I was already in the bathroom looking in the mirror but when i looked in the mirror I saw someone completely different staring back my eyes they both were completely different colors my right eye was two different colors which were red and blue while the left one was gold and brown and my hair had changed to a pale white and I looked a bit more defined in muscle wise so of course I was shocked and didn't know what to do but it's like all my senses were upgraded to the max

But I did my usual morning routine still confused but when I got to school after picking James up is where it got a bit crazy
