Life is tough, my darling, but so are you.
You never knew that it was going to be like this.
You never knew that a stupid alt girl was going to turn your world upside down.
You never knew that you were going to fall for your bestfriend's crush.
You never knew that love could hurt this much.
You never knew you liked girls –
Wait, that's false.
You knew since your first kiss with a boy that girls are better.
You knew that your father is not okay with that.
You knew that it was one more problem.
You knew that Chloe is always the center of attention.
But you let yourself fall for her.
Because…
why not ?
Finally, you think. Peace…
You really like Barden, but it can be a really noisy place.
Chloe draged you, again, to some stupid party.
It's impossible to resist those puppies eyes, really.
You're walking down one of Barden's campus street, under the slender light of lampposts, when you hear a scream.
You look around yourself no one.
Then you hear another scream, closer this time.
You decide to go and see. You start to run in the scream's direction, when you hear it again, and again, and again.
You arrive in front of a building and you immediately spot 3 men and a girl.
''hey !''
They stop and of them turn around.
He's facing you, and you almost regret coming here, when the girl scream again…
Dammit, you're Aubrey Posen, or what ?
''hey, blondie, watcha doin' here ?'' the man asks you.
You don't answer and start to walk in his direction. Stress is building up in your chest but you don't care.
You punch him in the face.
Easy, you think. Maybe because he didn't expected it.
He fall on the ground, the other two are looking at you with wide eyes.
Your fist hurts, so you take your rape whistel out of your pocket.
You bring it slowly to your mouth… but there's no need to use it they left a few seconds ago.
The girl doesn't move you start to worry.
You grab her left shoulder, gently. She lift her head in your direction.
Blue, deep eyes.
It's the first thing that hit you.
And then you see the bruises. The red marks.
You bring a hand to your mouth.
She looks bad.
'' are you ok ?'' you ask in a soft voice.
'' do I look ok to you ?'' she snaps at you with a shaky voice.
You take a step back.
'' hey, sorry, I was just trying to help-''
''no, i'm the one who's sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you. I… ''
She starts to cry.
You sigh.
'' where do you live ?''
''b-baker hall.''
''you're a freshman ?!'' you squeal. '' what are you doing in the senior's departement ?''
'' my father is a professor here. I-I had to take those streets to go back to my hall…''
She looks, so broken, you heart breaks a little.
'' my dorm is just a few buildings away. You're staying with me tonight.''
What ? you said this without thinking it's too late now, she's looking at you with those teary blue eyes and you can't help but thnik that maybe, it's better this way.
She doesn't say anything. You grab here by the waist and help her walk.
She's quiet, but it's fine.
What's happening to you, Posen ? helping a stranger and alt girl ? your going soft.
You cant' help it but smile when you see her sleeping on your couch.
Yes, she has those ears spikes that you hate and all that eyeliner but she just looks like a little child, and you find it kinda cute.
You look at her a little more when you catch yourself staring too much.
You shake your head.
Your phone buzz in your pocket it's Chloe.
Crazy redhead : i'm staying at Tom's tonight. Don't worry about me. Sleep well xxx
upthight blondie : k. goodnight xx
crazy redhead : nah, hot night )
upthight blondie : oh, don't wanna know. Bye.
You turn off your phone and slide under your covers.
The brunette you saved don't leave your mind until you finally drift into a peaceful sleep.
Hello there.
Hope you enjoyed this.
Tell me if you want me to continue :)
