then
"Dallas, stop! Why are you doing this to me, I thought you loved me" As I felt more and more slaps and hits towards my body. "I don't understand, why are you hitting me every time you get angry, that's not what a couple does to each other" "BE QUIET!" Slap. Slap. More hits. I fell to the ground crying, feeling the burns on my face stunning rapidly, I felt like I had no more oxygen in me. It felt like I was on my last breath. "You are going to be a good girl and you are going to listen to me!" As I see him on top of me, screaming at me, I can feel his nasty breath on my face. "DALLAS GET OFF OF ME!" I tried and tried to break free, but all I felt was a punch to the stomach. He gets off of me and kicks my back. Deep breaths, blurry vision, no air to breath. I need to get from him but how? He left me suffering, struggling. I get up and I can feel tears going down my face. "Dallas, I'm leaving you" He comes to me and pushes me down. "You're not going anywhere, you are going to stay here with me!' He takes out a pistol, already I felt my heart beating, I was scared to death, he was going to kill me. I tried to think of something, I scorch back. "Okay, I will stay with you" He gave that smirk of a smile. "Good girl" I gave a smirk. "What are you smiling about?" "This!" I kicked his legs so hard that he screams in pain. As quick as a flash, I get up and start running for my life. I have to get out of California, it's the only way I can stay away from Dallas. I kept running, I wasn't going to stop for one second of my life. I reach the next bus stop. I get on. "Excuse me sir, where is this bus going?" "It's going to the nearest bus station mam" "Thanks" I look for a seat, I wipe the tears away. How can Dallas do this to me? I loved him , I showed him what real love is. I knew that real love wasn't real as in the romance movies or books. I'm going to miss Cali, this is where my mom lives but I have to leave, I can't take the hits and the bruises and the scars, the pain in my heart anymore. The bus stops, I paid the guy with the little bit of money I have. I get off and I see the nearest bus. I look at the sign "MIAMI" I put my hoodie on so the bus driver won't see my face. I look for the nearest seat. The bus starts moving, goodbye Cali. Goodbye mother. Goodbye Dallas.
now
"Ally? Ally?" I felt someone trying to do something to me. Was it Dallas? Did he follow me here? "AAH!" I screamed so loud that my father was concerned. "Ally...Ally It's okay, you are safe now, another bad dream about Dallas?" "Yeah..." "Well don't worry, he is far far away and you never see him again. I'll protect you" For the first time I smiled. "Thanks dad" He gets up from my bed. "Hurry up and change, you got school this morning" School? Crap. I totally forgot that I went to Marino High School when I was "living" here. I get up and look through my bag. A shirt, a hoodie and a pair of pants. Nice outfit to start the first day of school. I get up and begin to change, I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth and wash my face. I look at my side, something was there. I pull up my hoodie, I see a bruise, I remember. Dallas kept punching my side repeatedly. I pulled down my hoodie so I won't remember that horrible memory anymore. "Ally, sweetie. Breakfast is ready" "Okay dad" I check myself in the mirror, I looked better than what happened with Dallas. I grab my phone and my songbook. I forgot I left my songbook here. I opened it up, so many songs I wrote when I was 13. I smiled. "Ally!" "Coming" I closed my songbook and brought it with me downstairs. I can't wait to start writing songs again.
"Sorry dad, I was in the middle of doing something" "It's okay, I made your fave today" I jumped for joy, ever since I was a little girl, my favorite breakfast meal is smiley face pancakes with side of eggs with chewy bacon and a cup of orange juice. "Thanks Dad" I begin eating until I get a text message from my best friend Trish. Me and Trish has been best friends since we are in kindergarten. "Thanks for the yummy breakfast dad, love you" "Love you too" I hugged him and went off to meet up with Trish.
I see Trish and she looks wayy better than I am. "Hey Ally, you look...great!" She gives that fake smile, I rolled my eyes, I know she doesn't like the way I look. We start walking to school. "Thanks Trish" "I'm sorry Ally, but your style of clothing is way much better than this, remember in first grade when you tried to try on my mother's clothes and the way we played dressed up, you always had the right taste of clothing...what happened?" "Well I got into another fight with Dallas" Now she wasn't kidding around, she gave me that concerned look. "Oh my god, are you okay??!! Do I need to call the police??!!" "No..no, I'm fine. I'm just glad I can start a new life all over again" "Just know that I am going to be here for you always" I smiled because I know that I can trust her.
We enter the school building, so many students, so many classes, so many anything, It's been a really long time since I been here. "So welcome back to Marino high Ally" "Thanks, It's actually good to be back" I start looking around until I ran into this blonde kid. "Oh, sorry" "It's okay, my bad" I chuckled. He smiled. Trish sees me. She knows something. "What?" "Ally, I saw the way you were looking at that guy" "What? No. By the way, who is that guy?" "That's Austin Moon. He's one of the cool guys" "Oh" I felt like my heart is rebuilding, maybe real love is still alive. "So what's your first class?" I look at my schedule. "History, what about you?" "Language Arts" "Well I will see you at lunch" "Okay"
Ringg. The bell rings for the first class, everybody scrambling to get to their class. "Excuse me" "Sorry" "Excuse me" I tried so hard to get through the crazy, wild teens. I stopped in my tracks, is that..Dallas?? My heart racing, nerves rising. "Miss? Miss?" I closed my eyes and it was just a locker. "W-What?" "This is your first class. Please come in" "Uh..Oh, thank you" I walk in the classroom and picked a random seat. All the other students pick random seats too. "Good morning class, today we are going to learn about the Cold war, please get a pencil and a piece of paper" Crap. I don't have any school supplies with me. "Miss Dawson, do you have a piece of paper out?" "Sir, actually I don't have anything with me, I'm sorry. May I have a piece of paper and a pencil" "Sure" He gives me a piece of paper and a pencil, I felt so embarrassed right now. "Please write these notes on the board" I begin writing the notes until I start remembering memories again. I want these memories to go away, to be gone forever. To disappear out of existence. "Miss Dawson?" I closed my eyes to erase them away. "Yes sir?" "Please pay attention" "Yes sir" I tried so hard TO focus but I can't, the memories of Dallas hitting me is haunting me, teasing me in my head and I can't get them out.
I start walking in the cafeteria to meet up with Trish until I see that blonde kid again, he was hanging out with this other kid who has redish- orange hair with some weird stuff. "Hey Ally" "H-Hey" She was concerned. "You okay?" "Y-Yeah, I'm fine. Let's just..go get some food" Trish and I left the two boys and go to get some food. We stand in line and I'm just looking around to just capture the surroundings. I start walking up to the lunch lady. "Can I help you?" "Yes, can I have a piece of pizza" She hands me the plate of pizza, I grab a bottle of water from the drinking vending machine. I enter my school number into the pad. "Thank you" I nodded and walk to find a table. I search and search. Empty table. Perfect. Trish sits next to me. "So what did you get?" "I got a BLT sandwich with a bottle of pepsi, what about you?" "Pizza and water" "Typical Ally" I look back at the blonde kid and his friend. They were talking. "Ally?" I look back at Trish. "What?" "Why were you looking at Austin?" "I don't know, just to see if he's okay. I guess" "Typical Ally, caring about others" "Whatever" as I bite into my pizza. "So how do you like coming back?" "It's great" I wasn't really paying attention to Trish. I looked back at Austin. I see him hanging out with his friend and a...girl. I wondered who is that girl? "Hey Trish, who's that girl with Austin?" "Huh?" "Who's that?" I pointed to the girl who has black hair. "Oh, that's Kira. That's Austin's girlfriend" Girlfriend. That word made my heart sink like the titanic ship, and and to think I started having feelings for him. Well too late now, either way there was no way I was going to date him anyways. "Ally..you okay?" I gave her that fake smile, trying to act all happy and strong but really I am this shy, weak girl who can't even fight. "I will see you later Trish" "Ally..." "I'll be fine, I promise" I get up and threw away my trash. I go back to class until I feel like someone is looking at me. I look up and it was Austin. I put my hoodie up and gave him a fake smile and leaves. As much I want to cry right now, I can't. There's no reason too. Just another disappointment in my life.
Ringg. School is finally over. I can't wait to go home and just stare at the ceiling. I start walking myself feeling okay I guess. I wait for the school bus, it was really hot outside but I don't care, I feel like I am in this hole and I can't get out of this hole. My heart feels like it just got shot and there's nothing there. The bus pulls up, I look for a empty seat. I plug in my headphones and listen to music while looking at the window. Seeing different captures of nature everywhere, I should be happy, I got away from Dallas but honestly I don't feel happy at all, I feel like nothing. I feel like there is no more happiness in this world. I close my eyes. The memories of Dallas and I start flowing in my head. Then the bad ones comes. I can feel my heart racing, beating really fast, I felt myself scared, nervous. Having deep breaths. I wake up instantly, all I see is different students doing different things. I lay back down still having deep breaths. The memories just keep haunting me, I WANT THEM TO GO!
The bus reaches my stop, I start walking towards my house. "Hey Ally, how was your first day?" "Fine. I am going to go to my room, I will talk to you later okay?" "Okay sweetie, are you okay?" "Yeah I'm fine" I'm not for one bit. I go to my room and flop on it. I threw my phone somewhere, I really don't want to talk to anyone right now. I get up and go to the bathroom. I take everything off and take a shower. I go under the water, thinking about everything that happened today. The one chance I thought I was going to experience real love for the first time, the one chance my heart was going to rebuild again, I was going to be happy again but no, hope disappoints again. I get out of the shower and change into some pjs. I brush my teeth. I exit out of the bathroom, turned everything off. I didn't feel like being awake, I just want to close my eyes and sleep.
"Ally, stop being a stupid girl! You belong with me and you will NEVER leave me AGAIN!" As I felt him on top of me, screaming at me. Punching me, kicking me, slapping me. "Dallas please.." I wanted him to stop so badly. I felt myself bleeding through my nose and my head. "SHUT UP!" Another punch to the side, I screamed in pain. All I felt was pain through my entire body. "You are going to listen to me, for once in your stupid life" He pulls out a knife and start cutting my leg. I shrieked in pain and screamed to the top of my lungs. "AAH AAH AAAH!"
I wake having deep breaths, feeling like I wasn't alive, sweating like crazy. My heart beating so hard to the point where I can hear it. Even my head start hurting like I felt like I ran into a brick wall. I lay back down trying to control my heart rate. I slowly start taking slow breaths. I close my eyes, gripping to my bed cover. I couldn't sleep, I need something to make me feel safe. I look over and I see my stuffed unicorn, I remember this, my mother gave me this when I was 1, I used to call her Princess Cotton Candy. I get up and grab it from my bean bag chair. I get back in my bed and start falling back to sleep. Hopefully tomorrow will be much better than today.
