Ocean

Ocean

I stumbled forward, entering my last class of the day. I was already exhausted, and it was only one o'clock. Then again that's probably because I haven't eaten anything since yesterday. I took a seat in the back corner, hoping not to be seen that way.
Aw is the poor baby scared.
Me and the voice inside my head don't get along. It tends to bad talk me. Although I do agree with what it says most of the time.
I pulled out my book, Lost in a Book by Jennifer Donnelly.
I was loving every moment of it, all the crazy things that were happening to Belle. I hadn't even realized that all the seats but the one next to me were full. When the door slammed shut, I finally looked up. Putting down my book, I saw a very good-looking guy standing near the door. He scanned the room before making his way up and sitting next to me.
I pushed my glasses farther up my button nose as our professor started the lecture.
The class had finished finally, and all the students started filling out. I waited for a couple minutes before proceeding to exit. I made my way to the front of the school, sitting down on one on the benches. I pulled my book out, waiting for my bus to show up.
I heard a snippet of a conversation as I stood up, seeing my bus in the distance.
"Dude, how's Vira?"
"She's good man."
"And Nicola? Any relationship yet for her?"
"Seriously, why are you so interested in my twin?"
I glanced over to see two of the popular boys chatting.
I got onto the bus, pushing my glasses up my nose.
I got off in front of a tall office building, with the name David's Incorporate written on it with big letters.
Walking into the office, I was greeted with a sour face. "You're late." The secretary glared. "Your work is on your desk, and the boss wants you home by six." She sighed dreamily as she mentioned her boss. If only she knew, I thought to myself.
I nodded at her, before heading up to my office.
Glancing at the large stack of papers on my desk, I sighed. I felt extremely tired, but I forced myself to work though as much as I could
I worked for four hours, before checking the time.
Only getting through half the pile.
Crap, I thought to myself.
Crap is right the voice in my head said. I was going to be late home as it was already six.
I ran out the door, barley managing to catch the bus.
I got off at the stop closest to the house, which was still a fifteen-minute walk. Well in actuality, it was more of a mansion. Yeah well that's what happens when you live with the CEO of the second richest company. I walked fast, trying not to get soaked in the pouring rain. Yup fun.
You look like a psycho.
I am well aware of that I responded to the voice in my head.
"Where the hell have you been?"
Oh great.
"Get over here you bitch." Lucas David's growled.
I did as I was told, shaking slightly. Lucas is the CEO of the David Incorporated. He has a very demanding presence. His eyes are such a dark brown that they appear black. He is tall, at least compared to me, standing at 5'10". His dark brown hair has started turning grey.
I stood in front of him, afraid. I promptly felt his hand slap my cheek.
Lucas often takes his anger out on me. I'm like his human punching bag. I'm used to it at this point. Feeling his foot rapidly tap my back made me wish I could just end it here, but I was too weak. I'm rarely fed, and when I am fed, once a week, it's very little.
I made it up to my room about half an hour later. I could feel the blood still dripping down my back.
I made my way to my bedroom and adjacent bathroom. Moving into the bathroom, I pulled my shirt off, "admiring" the many scars that littered my pal lifeless skin. I pulled off my glasses, which now had a crack in them. Looking up I finally made eye contact with myself in the mirror.
Your even uglier than yesterday.
I stood there, disliking every moment. My much too pale skin, my bright orange hair, and my dead grey eyes. Ok so my eye weren't grey but the looked grey. They were blue at one point. But that was before....
Before you became an ugly fat kid who has nothing to look at. Nobody truly could or will love you. I don't blame Lucas.
I felt tears threatening to fall, but I held them back. I was already weak enough as it is.
I turned the tap on and stepped into the shower. The icy stream of water made me shiver. I'm not aloud to use warm water. I finished my shower as quickly as I could, since I had to shampoo my hair.
Once out of the shower I dried off and pulled a pajama shirt over my head. Hopefully the pain of my back as well as my head and everywhere else will have subsided by tomorrow.
Grabbing my book from my bag I turned off the light in my room and read using my reading light. Reading is something I've always enjoyed. It's was a way to escape reality. And the only way to silence the voice inside my head. All the world that lived in other people's heads always interested me as well. After awhile I felt much calmer. Putting my book down, I slid into my seventeen-year-old twin bed. Yeah, Lucas refuses to get me a better bed seeing as I'm only 4'10".
Letting my thoughts go, I drifted into a troubled sleep.
