This Time Around

Every chapter will be in Ally's P.O.V unless I write otherwise.

Prologue

"First they ignore you, then laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

Outside the plane window clouds pass by in irregular shapes, dragging on and on as if they were endless and inside the people are calm and talk among themselves in barely audible whispers. I wish I could say my mind was the same, but there is an unwanted riot going on I still don´t know how to shut down. Flashbacks keep coming and going as my destination nears. It's funny how the barriers I have built up over the past four years broke so easily as soon as I set foot inside this plane. It's inevitable, I know. But it doesn't stop me from hoping this is all a nightmare. A horrible nightmare that I will wake up from if I just close my eyes tight enough.

"Garbage."

Eyes wide open. I can't do it. No matter what I try, the door has been open and every name, every joke, every moment I was humiliated has been released and I'm suddenly weak again.

"Ew, why hasn't that thing died yet?"

Deep breaths Ally, I try and encourage myself.

"How could something so ugly have been created, It can't be human!"

Inhale.

"Aw, sweetie you actually thought he liked you? How...pathetic."

Exhale.

This can't be happening. It can't. Have I not suffered enough when I lived in Miami? Did I do something to deserve all this trash? Everything in me is trembling in uncontrollable fear. I know there can't be anything good waiting for me in Miami

Trish. Guilt shoots trough me as I am reminded of my curly haired best friend, I have been whining about all my problems I didn't even think of the one person who I know will, no doubt, help me get through anything. Just like she's been doing since the day we became friends. I mentally face palm myself as I remember her advice before I boarded the plane.

"STOP WORRYING! Or so help me I will eat your pack of go-gurt right in your face, don't you doubt it for a second Dawson! I will do it!"

"Trish you hate Go-Gurt." I roll my eyes at her, even though she can't see me. She makes some inhuman sound in what I'm guessing is pure frustration at me.

"That's not the point! Look Ally, I know this is a scary thing, but that was before. Before you took this amazing turn and you became this totally different person who if I may point out was asked out by Harry Styles. The freaking Harry Styles and-"

"Trish, he was on sugar high-" I interrupt but she makes a scoffing sound and continues.

"and you look absolutely gorgeous, if I played for the other team I would so tap that...and if you know I wasn't taken. What was my point again?" I roll my eyes, a grin pulling at my lips. She's so crazy, but that's why I love her.

"Oh yeah! Allyson Havishman the "freak" has been gone for nearly four years now! That's not you anymore! You're Ally Dawson! They won't recognize you, senior year will fly by and then we will finally get to move to California forever away from those real freaks. Stop worrying." Her tone is firm and demanding and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a tiny bit scared...or a lot.

"Yes sir!" I respond.

"Ally!" she screams but I just silently laugh.

Why does that conversation feel like it was years ago instead of six? I sigh, slumping in my seat. Trish is right. I'm not that girl anymore. The one that let everyone step on her for so many years, the one who was labeled, called "pathetic" and "freak" vanished the day the popular's decided to play that stupid joke on me on the last week of seventh grade. I can't, I won't let them rule my life. I am the one in charge, and I won't allow anyone to ever make me think less of myself.

"Attention passengers. This is your captain speaking, we will be landing in Miami Beach Airport soon. Please turn off all electronics and adjust your seat belt. Thank you." The speaker goes off and the light on the seat belt flashes on.

I'm ready. I won't be put down this time around.

a/n: Thank you for clicking on this story. I hope you enjoyed it. This was short I know but it's meant to be like that since it's just the intro, more information will be revealed as the story progresses and the lenght will increase. I know it sounded a little depressing at first but I promise it doesn't flow like that till the end. I was just trying to capture her emotions right on the pin. Please favorite and review, they encourage me. =D

Please and Thank you very much.
