You're never alone

Chapter 2: All alone

Grace's p.o.v.

I stepped out side my apartment into the cool air. I looked a mess, I'm wearing the clothes I slept in and my hair isn't brushed.
I just needed to get away from the suffocating silence inside. I have felt all alone for the last 8, years since my parents died.
I used to live with my aunt, but even then I was alone, she worked all the time. So when I turned 18 I moved out. I wanted a fresh start.
But it a seems worst now. Now I'm completely alone.
I dropped out of college even though I know if my parents were here they wouldn't approve. I just needed time... I feel like something is missing.
I crossed the street intending to walk another block. But the feeling came back. Like someone is watching me. I get that feeling a lot. I guess I'm just paranoid. So paranoid I have night mares about it.
I finally arrived at a small park, that's only a few blocks from my apartment. I found an empty bench and sat down. Smiling at the little girl with blond pig tails running back and fourth. "Catch me daddy" she giggled
As a brown haired man scooped her up. Both of them laughing. I felt tears begin to form in my eyes.
I missed my daddy and my mom...

But, back to the night mares. I always dream something bad almost happens to me. But then he, or it? Appears saving me out of no where.
Usually I don't remember much, but his eyes. I always remember his eyes. The thing is I'm not afraid of him, because of his eyes. He looks at me in a way I haven't been looked at like since my parents were alive.
I don't know... It makes me feel loved? I know that's crazy! But I guess maybe the dreams are brought on by being tired of being all alone all the time.
Unwilling to mope any longer I got up and began the short walk back to my apartment. Arriving at home I stripped my sheets off my bed in search of my cell phone. Finally finding it under my bed.
I plopped down on the couch.
Four new messages ,2missed calls
I read.
And no surprise all from my best friend Haylee.
Haylee was my only true friend. We had been friends since we were 12,and there was no one in the world I trusted more. She was the only person who didn't make me feel alone.
I decided to return her calls and after two rings she answered. "Hey! Grace we are going out tonight!"
"Who is we?" I asked already knowing the answer
" you ,me and Matt of course." she sang.
I had to think fast, any reason why I couldn't go. First of all I hate going out too many people, too much noise and too much alcohol. Second of all I can't stand her boyfriend Matt. He is loud, rude, and drinks too much.
"Sorry I can't." I muttered.
"And why not, have a date with a book" she teased. " were going to go to that new club and you'll have tons of fun. Maybe even find you a guy"
" But I..."
" Don't be a bore," she interrupted " we will pick you up at 10."And with that she hung up.
you don't have to go I told myself. Yeah but she's right I'll Just end up reading a book.Besides maybe, just maybe Mr. Right could be there.

Ten o'clock came faster than I thought...I spent most of the day reading. And, before I knew it Haylee was on my door step knocking like a mad woman.
"I'm coming" I hollered
"That's what you're wearing?" she said when I opened the door.
I looked at my skinny jeans pink lacy top and black flats" yes?"
"No, come on"she said yanking me down the hall to my room.
Why did she always have to boss me, and why did I let her. My thoughts were disrupted by her yanking my shirt off. "Hey" I snapped
"What ever" she said stuffing socks in my bra.
"No" I said but was cutt off by her throwing a black tank top at me
"Put this on"
She desperately dug through my closet looking for something skany. "Try this" she said tossing a ruffled pink skirt at me, "And these" throwing the one pair of black high heels I owned on the bed.
I got dressed and didn't argue.
"That's better" she said," but like this"
She yanked the top down low to show cleavage and pulled the skirt up high.
"Now let's go"she said pulling me by the arm. I was completely uncomfortable showing this much skin and I could barely walk in the shoes. But I never argued with haylee.
Matt was out side leaned up against his car. "Let's go ladies" he said rather rudely.
Haylee pulled me into the back seat with her and began doing my make up on the drive. Just as we arrived she handed me a mirror. I didn't Even look like my self. The eye liner was twice as thick as usual an I had on bright red lipstick.
But I didn't argue again. We skipped the line and the bouncer let Matt right in. He had a lot of money and made sure everyone knew it.
The stinch of alcohol hit me and made me feel sick as we entered the club. I never drank, my parents were killed by a drunk driver.
I was then ditched at the bar while haylee and Matt went to go grind against each other on the dance floor. Haylee had always been a but eccentric, but she looked worst than normal tonight.
She was wearing a skin tight leather min and a purple crop top that barely covered much at all. I sighed and scrolled through my phone.
Ignoring the countless guys that kept trying to talk and watched my sprite closely.
It seemed like forever had passed when I fillaly noticed Haylee and Matt coming towards me." Get your stuff" she hissed she and Matt had obviously been drinking and didn't look happy with each other.
We all quickly went to the car. "Maybe I should drive" I said as I saw Matt stumble a bit.
"No one drives my car" he spat.
Take a cab, walk, but don't get in my head told me.
"Come on, we're leaving" haylee hissed again. Reluctantly I got in the car. As soon as all the doors shut all hell broke loose.
"And who the fuck was she" halyee yelled.
" my fucking side chick" he yelled back " is that what you want to hear!"
"Fuck off" she hissed.
"And you want to be explain that bastard that bought you a drink" he said.
I felt trapped in world war 3,and the worst part was how fast he was going. "where are we going" I said as I saw us pass my street. No answer just them fighting and him driving so fast.
And then before I Even knew what was happening the car swerved, Haylee screamed. I felt the car roll over and over and then nothing.

Darkness over took my body.
