Save Me

Chapter 1

"Come on, Lou!" my sister Lottie hollers from her spot at the front door. She's down there waiting with our three other younger sisters, Fizzy, Phoebe and Daisy.

Lottie's in a rush to arrive at school in order to suck face with her asshole boyfriend, Andrew Miller. I don't like him at all. Perhaps it's becuase I'm her older brother but I don't care, I don't like him. Lottie's a sophmore in school and I'm a senior.

"I'm coming, hold on!" I holler back. "Get your damn panties out of their twist," I mumble to myself as I grab my bag, wallet, phone and car keys as I walk out of my room.

Walking down the stairs I see all four of my sisters ready for school. "Let's go," I mutter to them as we walk out so I can shut and lock the door behind us.

Mum and Dan, our step-dad left an hour ago for work. Well, mum after she drops off our two youngest twin siblings, Doris and Ernie; mum and Dan's kids together. My sisters have a high probablitiy of having at least a set of twins if and when they have children when they're older.

Dropping Phoebe and Daisy off at the elementary school and Fizzy at the middle school, I then drive Lottie and I to my own personal hell known as high school.

I was skipped two grades. I don't even crack a book and I pass every quiz, test and exam and homework. I hate that I'm this smart, this it what gets me bullied, besides my sexuality at school. I've tried failing tests, exams and homework. It doesn't happen. I don't answer questions during class. Due to my 'nerdy-gayness', I don't have many friends; Liam Payne is my only friend.

Liam, how to describe him, let's see, he's 5 feet 10 inches with brown hair and warm brown eyes. Liam has this boyish charm about him, so carefree, a sweetness, well he use to be until he found out that I was being physically bullied at school.

Now, his life mission it seems is to protect me at all costs. He's a true friend and I have no clue as to why he's mine when he could be friends with others who won't give him as much shit as I do. Liam has two inches on me in height, since I'm only 5 feet 8 inches, my light brown hair and sea green eyes.

"Bye Lou, oh by the way I have cheer practice after school. Mum said she'd fetch me after as long as you pick up Fizzy, Phoebe and Daisy," she tells me as we start to head our sepearte ways down the hallways toward our lockers.

Nodding at her as I smile. "Okay, bye Lottie, have fun at practice today." She smiles as she fast walks to her locker to suck face with Andrew. Ugh.

Surprisingly today went by quickly and without my daily dose of my ass beating. Weird but I'm definitly not complaining. Once I've collected my three sisters we head home to find Dan there with the youngest twins. Let me tell you something, this house is never quite unless everyone is sleeping. I love the noise and having four younger sisters and younger brother. I want a big family myself one day but in all reality it'll never happen. Who in their right mind would want me.

Inside the house, my sisters all sit at the table to work on their work while I make them snacks as the littlest twins take their afternoon nap in their room. Right now, I'm the only one with my own room. Lottie and Fizzy share as do Phoebe and Daisy and Ernie and Doris. Once Ernie's old enough, we'll share a room if I'm still living at home.

"Lou, can you help me with my homework, please?" Phoebe asks me as I place the plate with their snacks in the middle of the kitchen table.

Smiling down at her as I lean over her shoulder to see what she's working on. "Sure, what do you need help with?" I ask her happily.

"I don't really understand these math problems," she says pointing to the section she's trying to work on.

Looking over her problems, I show her how to do them correctly, hoping she understands and that I'm not over explaining it to my 10 year old sister. She nods and quickly sets to work on her problems with a small smile.

"Like this, Lou?" she asks after she finishes the ten problems.

Nodding at her with a bright smile. "Exactly, good job, Phoebe!" I praiser her as she grins broadly at my words.

I spend the next thirty minutes helping my sisters with their homework as I work on my own. As I'm finishing my homework, mum enters the house, tired after a long nine hour work day. She smiles tiredly at me as she hangs her purse on the hooks by the front entrance.

"Hi Boo Bear, how was school today?" She sounds ever more tired than she appears. I hide the bruises and marks from the bullies at school.

"Good, mum. How was work?" I ask cocking my head slightly to one side. She seems even worse for wear today.

"It was alright, had a patient who died from cancer this morning." Mum works as a nurse at the hospital here in town.

Frowning at her, I try to give her my best smile ever as I put away my homework in my back pack before hugging her. "I'm sorry, mummy," I whisper into her hair.

Mum rubs my back before giving me a light pat. "Thank you, Boo Bear," she whispers pulling away to start dinner.

"Mum, I'll make dinner if you would like?" I offer her. Honestly I was planning on it anyway.

She gives me her famous smile as she nods, "Thank you, Louis." I nod at her before she heads to the living room to say hello to my sisters before heading to her bedroom to change out of her work clothes.

"Want help, Lou?" Fizzy asks from behind me at my position at the counter as I start putting together dinnner of baked chicken and sweet rice and veggies.

Turning my head toward her smiling. "Yeah, only when the chicken is almost done. Thanks Fizzy."

"Welcome," she replies as she leans against the counter to watch before she has to start making the sweet rice and veggies as I finish preparing the chicken so it can bake for an hour.
