Ally's POV
My day was perfect. Sure I missed about half of school, but it was worth it. Trish and I spent more time together. We went over to her house since her parents are out of town and I can't face my father now. We did our nails, had a relaxing spa day and we even played dress-up! I was Cinderella and she was Belle. Childish! We know, but hey it's fun.
Sometimes I feel as though my like is like Cinderella's. Just waiting for that one moment when all my dreams and hopes come through. But for now I have to face the hardships of life.
I actually opened up and told Trish what Austin did to me. She said I have every right to be mad at him. She's even proud that I was strong enough to end my ties with him. But after confessing she was a bit mad that I didn't tell her about it. But I swear the look in her eye when I told her was to die for. I mean if Austin was in the room, I'm sure he would have been dead by now.
But I did make her swear not to tell a soul. I know this is something I should tell a person, but I just can't bring myself to. We did ankle swear, and Trish never breaks an ankle swear so I know I can trust her. I just don't know if I can control her when she sees Austin!
Trish says that she's gotten used to my badass attitude, but I still think she misses the old me, even though she wouldn't admit. I kinda miss her too, I mean she been with me since I was born. But I think this is the best way, to let everything of my past go. Let her go, let Austin go, let everything go.
I would still hang out with the gang I made friends with, but even badass Ally can't let go of good ol' Trish!
I honestly don't want to go home. My father is there waiting for me, and when he sees me, boy is he gonna blow up! He sent me 11 texts and I have 20 missed calls from him. It's still kinda nice to know that someone still cares though. Also the school must have contacted him about me staying home cause I just got a text that says…
Alicia Marie Dawson! Get your ass home right now! We have some serious talking to do! And I mean it!
Wow, the second time of the day someone uses my full name. Which I hate. Why I liked my name all the time, but then my mother who turned her back on us when life got too hard middle name was Marie and everyone goes around saying…
'Awww, look who grown up Penny's daughter is!' and 'Why, she looks just like her mother!' and the worst one of all, 'And her heart is as good as gold as her mother's too, let's just hope she doesn't turn out just like Penny'
Really!? Every time I go to the stores or work behind the register and what not, those comments always come! And it gets me all fired up at the mention of my 'mother.'
I sighed reading the last message from my dad and decided that it was best for me to go home.
I said my goodbyes to Trish and walked out.
….
"Hey dad, I'm home!" I shouted so where ever he is in the house he would hear.
"Young lady, where have you been," i heard from the family room.
I walked in and saw my father sitting on the couch looking red and glaring at me. Wow, I must have angered him a lot.
"Hi daddy,' I say sweetly. He softened and then got all angry once again.
"Alicia, what on earth are you wearing?" he asked finally taking notice that my bra was showing clean and clear to everyone who looks at me.
"A dress," I replied as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. He sighed before speaking.
"Ally, your school called," he started and I groaned knowing where this is going, "And you boke not one but two rules!" he shouted.
"I might have broken some rules," I admitted shyly.
"Some rules! Ally you came to school under dressed and you skipped half of your classes!" he hollered. "Did, you even know there was a world history test that counted as half of your grade!" he shouted and I'm sure the neighbours can hear him.
"Fuck school, I don't care anymore!" I bellowed. He looked taken aback at my choice of words and I instantly regretted saying them.
I got a slap to my face a punch in the nose.
"Owww!" I screamed in pain and ran upstairs.
Don't cry. Don't cry. Whatever you do, don't cry.
I kept chanting those two words over and over. I couldn't help myself. I burst out crying when I got in my room and slammed the door.
My own father hit me. Not once has anyone laid a hand on me. Obviously that changed.
My dad hit me.
Then I knew that I have no parents left. They both left me deserted and alone.
