I just watch Albums and Auditions and I'm smiling so much so I was inspired to write more. Enjoy and review please!
Austin POV:
I paced back and forth in my room with my phone clutched in my hand. I couldn't get her out of my mind. I barely got any sleep last night because everytime I closed my eyes I felt her lips. That was the most amazing kiss I've ever had and I've kissed a lot a girls before. Everything about that girl was so mysterious and poetic. I looked at the phone in my hands, I must have watched that video a hundred times since last night. I need to find out who she is or I'm never going to be able to get any sleep. I found Dez's name in my contact list and put the phone to my ear. I tapped my foot impaitently. One ring. two rings. The phone rang five times and just when I was about to hang up I heard a groggy hello come from the other end. I glanced at the time, it's only six a.m.
"Hey! I really need your help." I said to a half-awake Dez.
Ally POV:
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock ringing. I forced my crusted eyes open and glanced at the time. It was 6:30 a.m. I groaned as I threw off the covers and dragged myself out of bed. I yawned as I made my way downstairs but before I could think I felt a stinging pain on my cheek. I put my hand to my cheek and looked up at my father. He stood infront of me with the veins popping out of his head. He raised his hand and slapped me again. I felt the pain travel throughout my entire body and my knees went weak.
"Where were you last night?!" he thundered. I stood there looking at the floor too afraid to speak. His strong hands gripped my shoulders and pushed me against the wall. My legs were now completely numb and I collapsed on the floor. I saw multiple cuts on my arms from when I hit the ground.
"Answer when you're spoken too!" he bellowed.
"I-I" I stuttered trying to stop the bleeding. The fear swallowed me up and took over my body. My voice shook as I desperately tried to give him an answer. He reached down and grabbed me by the shirt forcing me up. He slammed my head against the wall and my vision went blurry.
"You what?!" he spat at me. His vemonous voice filled my head, it was the same voice that haunted my nightmares, the same reason why I trembled with the thought of him. I turned my head and refused to look in his eyes. Those eyes were filled with hatred and anger. They looked at me like I was trash and I was worthless. He never failed to remind me how disgraceful and grotesque I was. If you're told something every single day of your life you start to believe it's true. Those word will follow you wherever you go and no matter what any other person says, those words will always overpower them. Even if you are the most beautiful girl in the world if you are told constantly that you're ugly, it won't matter when some calls you pretty because you were born to think you're hideous.
Somewhere in the house I heard a baby crying. Then I felt myself hit the floor and the pain increased. I watched his feet walk away to comfort the crying baby. He left me on the floor with the hurt suffocating me. I lifted my hand to my head and my hair was damp but something tells me it wasn't sweat. I looked at the drops of red dripping down my fingers and that was the last thing I saw before everything went black.
Austin POV:
I sat in last period tapping the back of my pen on my binder annoying the people sitting around me. I looked to my left where Ally usually sat but today her seat was empty. It's weird that she didn't show up to school today. I really needed to talk to her. Dez and I agreed that the only way he would help me find my mystery girl was if I wrote and recorded three songs. The only way I was ever going to be able to do that is with Ally's help. The school bell rang and I grabbed my stuff and ran out. As soon as I was out of the building I called Ally.
"Hey this is Ally, I'm not here right now. Leave a message!" Ugh straight to voicemail. This is so unlike her.
"Uh hey this is Austin. Come over as soon as you get this. Ok...bye." I sighed and ended the call. I crossed my fingers and prayed that she got the message.
Ally POV:
Whenever someone gets hurt by someone who is supposed to love them, they never forget it. No matter how hard you try you won't be able to escape the past. When you are constantly beaten and bruised the physical pain eventually goes away. Then all that's left is a scar. That's the worst part of it all, not the blood or the open wounds because they go away with time. But no matter how much time passes you'll still see the scars. Everytime you look at yourself in the mirror it will be there and someday you'll learn to not look at yourself anymore. The scars stay on your body like a constant reminder of the hurt. It's like a dark cloud that is always hanging over head telling you about the time you got cut. It's a daily memory of the horrible things that were done to them. The scars stay there and eat away at all the innocence left in you until you are nothing but a hollow version of yourself. As life goes on you will eventually learn that the scars you can't see are the hardest to heal.
The sun blinded me as I opened my eyes. I slowly sat up when a throbbing pain hit me. I reached for my head and I felt the dried crusted blood stuck to my hair. I looked at the floor where a pool of my blood lay. I took notice of my surroundings and realized I was still on the floor. I stood up and felt a burning pain in my head and on my arms. Every step I took ached. I made my way to the attic and flung open the bathroom door. I ripped the clothes off my body and refused to look at myself in the mirror. I threw myself in the shower and let the warm water hit my skin. The wounds stung for a while but it was replaced my relief. I let the water wash away the blood, the pain, the sorrow, and the memories. Well I tried to let the water wash it away but truthfully I pushed it to the back of my mind and locked it away. I looked down and and saw the blood flow down the drain.
When I finished I cleaned up the blood from the hallway and pretended it never happened. I threw myself on my bed and tried to dream up a new life. A blinking from the corner of my eye disturbed me. I picked up my phone and saw one new voice mail from Austin. I groaned, it never ends does it.
Austin POV:
I paced around my room for an hour waiting for Ally. I glanced at my phone and sighed when I saw no new messages. What is going on with her? She never misses school, she always answers her phone, and she is never this late. Something in the back of my mind didn't feel right. I felt this strong urge to find her. Ugh! Why am I so freaked out? It's not like we're actually dating...
Oh screw it! I grabbed my keys and headed for the door. I hastily made my way through the living and to the front door. I flung the door open and found a startled and dazed Ally standing on the step with her arm up about to knock. She wore a beanie, a long-sleeved sweater and a scarf around her neck.
"Uh...hey," she said timidly. I held the door open wider allowing her to enter. She slowly made her way into the house. I looked down and noticed a slight limp in her leg.
"Are you okay?" I asked as I closed the close. She spun around quickly with her eyes wide.
"I'm fine! Why? Do I not seem fine? Because I am! Perfectly fine! Then again, what is the defintion of fine? Fine could mean okay or it could mean acceptable. Fine could be different in everybodys perspective. I think we should look this up. Do you have a dictionary?" she babbled.
I rolled my eyes. "Your leg seems hurt," I said pointing to it.
"Oh that...yea I hit...the stairs...on something hard...and I tripped...on a rock," she muttered quickly. I raised my eyebrows clearly not convinced. "So why do you need me here?" she asked. I realized that she was trying to change the subject but at this point the only thing on my mind was finding the girl.
"I really need your help," I said desperately.
This time she raised her eyebrows. "Again?" she said smugly. I glared at her, she is so lucky I need her so badly.
I was sad while writing this :( I almost didn't want to put in the part about Ally getting hurt but I think it was important to the story because it explains why Ally is who she is. Thanks for reading! Please review and tell me what you think. xoxo :)
