~Previously~

I start to cry and he wipes my tears away. I know I just met him but I feel so close to him. It's like we have a connection. It feels nice knowing someone cares about you. I feel bad about bringing him into all of this. I have only know him for a day and he already knows all of my problems.

The look in his eyes tells me he feels the same way. Maybe he is worth living for. He might be able to help me with my problems. I know that is a lot from him but it would be nice to have a friend there for you.

I stare into his beautiful brown eyes. He stares into mine. There is definitely a connection here. He starts to lean in and I do too. Were only an inch apart...

He starts to close the gap between us when we hear a crash. We jump apart and I start to blush. I stare at my feet nervously.

"What the hell is he still doing here I told you your are not allowed to have friends" my dad shouts at me. I start to tear up again.

"Don't talk to her like that" Austin shouts back. My dad looks shocked but it only lasts a second.

He moves closer to Austin. I know whats going on. My dads going to hurt him. There's no way in hell i'm letting him do that. Right as my dad throws a punch I block Austin. I get hit straight in the head.

I fall to the ground. Everything around me starts to become blurry.

It hurts so much. I can faintly hear my dad.

"Your such a little bitch" he screams at me.

I feel Austin pick me up. For the first time in what feels like forever I feel safe. Austin starts to fade away. My surroundings turn black. That's the last thing I remember.

I slowly open my eyes and am instantly blinded by bright lights. I close them again. Where am I? I open my eyes again and take in the white walls. Am I dead is this what death feels like? I turn my head and see Austin next to me. Then it clicks i'm in the hospital. All the details come back my dad hitting me, blacking out, Austin carrying me.

"Austin?" I ask

"Yeah i'm right here" he says

"What happened to my dad?" I ask him

"He got arrested I am really sorry" he tells me. I know he thinks I am going to be heart broken but I am not.

"Really, that's the best news ever" I reply

"you're not upset" he asks me. He sounds slightly concerned.

"No he is finally out of my life"

"What did he do to you?" he asks me. He sounds so concerned thats nice.

Flashback:

I was sitting in my room studying for a big English test. It was almost midnight and my dad was not home. Maybe he won't be home tonight. That would be great. Right after the thought I here the door open then slam. I guess I spoke to soon.

"Little bitch get down here now!" I here my dad shout.

I quickly go downstairs to see my father standing in the middle of the living room. In one hand he has a bottle of beer the other hand has I knife. I start to shake. Can't I have just one night without being cut of hit. It is all I ask for.

He stumbles over to me and slaps me hard across the face. I don't know ow it is possible for someone so drunk to be able to cause so much pain. Tears threaten to spill. I hold them in I can't show signes of weakness. I know how that ends he just laughs and hits me extra hard.

He takes the knife and cuts my arm. I can tell it is going to scar. The cut is almost six inches long. He drops the knife and it bangs when it makes contact with the hard wood floors. He hits me a couple more times.

"Go to your room don't let me see you again tonight" he yells. I obey and walk to my room. I walk past him and he throws his beer bottle at me. I hits the wall and breaks. A piece of glass cuts my cheek. I walk into the bathroom and clean up my cuts. I walk into my room and collapse on my bed. I quietly cry myself to sleep. It was one of the worst nights of my life.

Flashback ends

I tell Austin everything my dad did to me. He looks angry. By the end I start to cry. He gets up and hugs me. When he pulls back I feel like i'm missing part of me. I miss his touch. I reach out and grab his hand. They fit perfectly like pieces of a puzzle.

"Austin when can I leave?" I ask him. Hoping that it will be soon.

"Well the doctor said you have no major injuries, but you have to stay for a few more hours." he tells me.

"Ok" I say.

"You sound tired you should go to sleep" he tells me. I nod and close my eyes I slowly drift off.

I wake up and Austins not next to me. I instantly feel sad. I see the doctor in the hallway. He walk in and checks his chart.

"Well, Allyson you are free to leave just be careful" he tells me.

"Were did Austin go" I ask the doctor.

"He is in the hallway" I am told

"Ok, thank you" I say. He leaves the room and I change. It feels good to be back in my normal clothes. I walk into the hallway and see Austin talking to a girl. It would be fine but he is talking to Kira the head cheerleader. She ruined my school life and my work life. Not only that but I thought Austin liked me. He lead me on and then broke my heart. I took a punch from my own dad for him.

I walk past him quickly not looking at him. Kira sees me and trips me I fall and I hear a crack. She starts to laugh and make fun of me. Austin tries to help me up. Once i'm up I put pressure on my foot and fall again.

"Austin I think it's broken" I say while quietly crying.

"It's ok let me get the doctor" he tells me and walks away.

Kira comes up to me and slaps me. I cry even harder. I can't believe her it's her fault my foot is broken now she has the nerve to slap me.

"You better stay away from Austin he's mine" she growls at me.

Why is she trying to take him away from me. The only friend I have and she says I can't be friends with him. Well thats enough I am not going to stand for this.

"No he is my friend and there is nothing you can do about it." I snap at her.

She looks slightly stunned by my outburst.

"You'll regret saying that to me" Kira says and walks away.

I sit in the middle of the hallway waiting for Austin to come back. What's taking him so long. I still don't know why he was talking to Kira. Does he like her? She is smarter, prettier, and more popular than me.

"No she's not" Austin tells me. What is he talking about and where did he come from?

"What?" I ask completely confused.

"You were talking out loud" he tells me

"Oh, why where you talking to Kira?" I ask

"I wanted to make a new friend" he says truthfully.

"Well you have to choose between me and her"

"Ok well I choose...
