Ceces POV
My name is Cecelia Hanna, just don't call me Cecelia, I much prefer Cece. I was born in Nottingham England, I came here four years ago, when I was eleven and a half, this was when I met my best friend, Virgil Tate, and his twin brother, Harley Tate. I moved over here with my nana, after my mum gave up custody of me and my seven younger sisters, and one younger brother. Victoria, London, Ellie, Amber, Zara, Hayley, April, Summer, and Matthew.
As I walked downstairs to get breakfast, I could see that nana already had out three plates of toast, two plates of eggs, nine glasses of milk, two plates rashers/bacon, a giant stack of chocolate chip pancakes with strawberries and cream, hash browns set all around the table. My nana loved to cook and bake things, she would do it all day of she could, it's what makes her happy. I smiled at her, "Morning nana!" I said cheerfully, grabbing an apple. She looked at me with a shocked expression "Excuse me! I did not wake up at 4:30 for you to have an apple for your breakfast young lady! And since when do you eat just an apple in the morning? You usually have two of everything!", "sorry nana, I woke up a bit late today, had trouble sleeping last night, besides I have to go to Virgil and Harley's house to wall to school with them, and you know how impatient his royal highness Harley is". Nana giggled at my little joke, and motioned for me to go "alright then, will you be back for your tea?". I rushed out the door, "yup!" I yelled, running down the drive.
The walk to the twins house didn't take long, since they only lived about 20 minutes away. "Boys! Cece is here!" The twins mom, Ms Tate, yelled, as her twin sons tiredly walked out the door. "Mornin'" They said in unison, walking passed their mom. I always thought it was kind of funny, whenever they would say the same thing, or do the same thing at the same time.
As we got into the school hallway, I put on my headphones, and began singing along to save myself by Ed Sheeran.
I gave all my oxygen to people that could breathe
I gave away my money now we don't even speak
I drove miles and miles, but would you do the same for me?
Oh, honestly?
Offered off my shoulder just for you to cry apon
Gave you constant shelter and a bed to keep you warm
They gave me the heartache and in return I gave a song
It goes on and on
I watched as the twins entered the music room for glee club, they were natural born singers,. I was not.
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
No farewell
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
Principal Figgins passed me in the hallway, "Cecelia, come to my office at the end of the day!" He mumbled, I nodded my head in response. I knew what he wanted to talk to me about, it was about my school work, and how my grades had decreased a significant amount this year, I went from As ans Bs to Cs and even Fs.
I gave you all my energy and I took away your pain
Cause human beings are destined to radiate or dream
What line do we stand upon cause from here it looks the same?
And only scars remain
I walked into my English class, placed my bag on the ground
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
No farewell
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
I looked through my bag, trying to find my homework.
But if I don't
Then I'll go back
to where I'm rescuing a stranger
Just because they needed saving just like that
Oh, I'm here again
Between the devil and the danger
But I guess it's just my nature
My mom was wrong
Cause I'm not like my nan
Cause she'd just smile and I'm complaining in a song
But it helps
So before I save someone else
I've got to save myself
