his broken love

 My name is Zera, my mom thought I looked like a fairy when I was born so she gave me a pixie name, and I am now 17 years old living with my father that doesn't really care if he hurts me when he's been drinking. I miss my mom so much, but at the same time I don't want my dad to put me in the basement with her again. He locked her down there when I was about 5 and told me that she left us. I was shut down there for the first time when I was 10 because I had told him that I missed mommy and I hate him. He laughed as I tumbled down the stairs then he said maybe if I was a good girl he would let me come up to feed him. I found my mom in the corner of the basement with her neck split open and blood everywhere in a glass case. At first I didn't realize that she was dead. I tried talking to her and cried when she wouldn't answer. When I shook her and finally realized that she was dead I screamed. My dad laughed at that for days and I tried to tell an adult but my teachers all said that I needed to stop making up stories. I just can't wait to get away for my dad and go to collage. My birthday is in two days and he says he has a real present for me. I don't think that I want it though. He has never given me anything before. The only thing I will accept from him is a car so I can drive as far away from here as I possibly can. The school already said that I can graduate early, and I don't have to worry about leaving any friends behind because I don't have any. I'm probably the only person in this town that doesn't have anyone. I don't let it bother me though I actually enjoy getting all my work done without any distractions. The boys here are all animals so I never even thought of them as the same species. Maybe I will meet a boy far away from her that won't remind me of a gorilla or rhino. There was supposed to be a few new people starting at school today, but I haven't seen anybody that I don't recognize yet. All I can think about is my birthday coming up and getting the hell away from here. Now that I think of it, I'm trying to get outta here and there are people that chose to come to this little s**t hole. Why would anybody want to come here? There are no jobs and no clubs. Everybody has to go five miles away to go to a fast food joint. So what's the appeal? Just when I am thinking that the lunch bell rings and it pulls me back to reality where I see a note scribbled in my hand writing saying to not accept anything from "HIM". When did I write this and who is "HIM"? I quickly gathered my things and ran to the cafeteria to get a light snack. Dad can't know that I ate today he gets mad when I eat anything he didn't give me. I don't want to miss any days before I get to graduate, and if I get a split lip or a black eye I will definitely miss school. "Excuse me, but can you help me right quick?" Said a voice that I didn't recognize in the slightest. "Sure what do you need?" I replied before I turned around to see a beautiful girl and a really really hot boy looking at a piece of paper together. "The principal told us to find a girl named Zera to help us get caught up with class work during lunch. Can you point her out for us please? We are apparently way behind in almost every subject." The girl was so pretty I almost missed everything she said. "That's me actually. Do you mind if we get a bite first? I haven't eaten yet and I can help you both while we eat." I promised myself that I would not make any friends here so I'm going to have to find something not to like about these two. The girl didn't respond but the boy nodded his head and then got in line behind me. I got a salad some ranch and a helping of ham for the top. He got everything the same as me except he got all the meats ontop of his and he got two grape juices. I didn't see what the girl got until we sat down. It was just meat toppings no salad and no dressing. I took a big bite of mine and they watched me until I swallowed it. "My name is Angela and this is my brother Lucy. We just moved here and our old school wasn't this far in any subject." she said while I nodded and her brother gave her a very dirty look. "My name is Lucious, not Lucy like my twin pain in the ass would have you believe. I appreciate the help so we can get caught up to everyone else. I don't think we will cover everything over lunch so is there anyway we can get together after school too?" He said in his sing song voice that could hypnotize a raging bull. "Sorry I can't I have to go straight home so I can cook for my dad. It's just the two of us and he is useless in the kitchen. I don't want the house to burn down." I said very apologetically. "I can only tutor you for a couple of days because I'm graduating early and I plan on that being by the end of the week. But I will do what I can until then. Do you have a free period coming up? Mine is the next two hours after lunch." Lucious pulled out his schedule and handed it to me. "This is an exact copy to my schedule so I guess we have plenty of time to get you caught up. Do you know which ones you need help with?" I asked handing him back his schedule, and taking the paper his sister was handing me. "Just the classes on my schedule we just turned 18 a couple months and planned on graduating early too but I didn't get the credits in those classes before we moved here and my sister only needs one class as you can see there." He replied in earnest. Her schedule only has one class on it the rest were free periods. How does that happen? The one class she needed help with was English. The easiest class at this school and she is in need of help? "No problem. So do you want to start with English or Science?" I asked feeling like an i***t. She doesn't need Science and He doesn't need English. Why did I ask such a dumb question? What is wrong with me? I'm not usually like this, and now they're going to think I'm some kind of moron. "How about today we just try to see what we both need to catch up on. How does that sound?" He asked trying not to laugh. I don't think he can do anything to come off as a jerk, even laughing at me he would be the sexiest thing on planet earth. I just nodded and got out some of the books and papers I had from last class. I completely forgot about my dazed scribble and he just had to see that first. "Who is 'HIM'?" He asked sounding truly curious. I was mortified and for the first time in a very long time I couldn't think. "I-I d-don't know." I finally managed to get out between panicked breathes. They both just looked at me with confused expressions on their faces.
