The mail
She saw the mail was from her mom and rolled her eyes, but opened it. and read.
Alyssa,
You aren't taking my calls so I figured I would write. Anway Evan is still calling, Jeremy I told him you didn't deserve him and to stop calling. But I told Evan you would be home soon. And I would call when you came home. Thats right you hung up on me before I could tell you I'm taking you back home. Your exactly the same and this isn't helping, you seem to happy anyway. I think its time for another visit to the hospital. I will call you in a few days to let you know when you are coming home. I don't think you are going to go back to school either. I don't want my daughter to become a lesbian from that sport you play, I think it's called basketball. It already turned you into a stupid peace of shit. You stupid little hoe, I can't wait till you get back with Evan so he can do to you what he did last time.
Enjoy your time there because it won't be for long.
Mom
Lyssa finished reading the letter and felt anger fill through her body. She dropped the letter and hit the wall as hard as she could. her hand was bleeding and swolen but she couldn't feel it. She was to mad. She walked out of the house, she looked like she wanted to kill somebody, she walked around for about a half hour. When she realized if someone saw her they would tell Sean and Paige and they would go look for her. It was to late, Emma already saw her, and her hand. Lyssa didn't notice and just walked back home. She walked up to her room and went out the window. She sat there when she saw Sean, and a tall thin blonde girl run down her street.
Who told him? Emma? what is she doing here? Lyssa asked to herself as she moved further away from the window just in case they saw her.
Lyssa's thoughts were just running through her head. She felt silent tears fall down her face, then said to herself,"The tears aren't going to make this any better, or any easier. Theres no point in crying it won't change the fact that my mom wants to take me bak to N.Y." She quickly wiped her tears and stopped crying.
Meanwhile down stairs Sean went inside the house with Emma. He saw a letter and read it. He couldn'e believe what he was reading.
What? What is it? Emma asked as she tried to look over his shoulder.
Nothing, go to Paige's house get her and Dylan to come back here. As fast as you can. GO!
Okay. Emma ran out the door and to Paige's house.
Sean looked up and saw the dent in the wall. "That explains the bloody hand" He said to himself as he looked around her house.
Emma got to Paige's house 10 minutes later and knocked on the door.
Well if it isn't little miss save the world. What do you want? Paige said with an attitude.
Emma was out of breath but managed to say,"Its Lyssa, she's in trouble."
Where what happpened? Paige said as she started to panick. DYLAN! Get down here! NOW!
Dylan ran downstairs. What? Whats wrong?
Its Lyssa she's in trouble.
Whats wrong?
We have to get back to her house. Emma whined.
We will take the car. Dylan said as he grabbed the keys.
They all hopped into the car and drove to Lyssa's house.
So what happened? Paige asked Emma with worry in her voice?
I saw her, she was walking she had a bloody hand and she looked like she was about to kill someone.
I've only seen her like that once, it was that whole Evan thing.
Dylan said as he looked at paige.
Who's Evan? Emma asked as they got out of the car and ran into the house.
Nobody, Sean whats going on. Have you found her?
No but I found this. He replied as he handed the letter to Dylan.
Dylan read it and said,"Oh no!"
What who is that? Sean asked confused.
Look put this in your pocket, I don't think she wants anyone else to see that.
Sean nodded and put the letter in his pocket.
We should call people. She might have stopped somewhere. Paige said as she picked up the phone. She called Spinner but he didn't know where she was. He was now out looking for her. Then she called Jimmy. Jimmy just hung up and rushed over there.
Any word? Jimmy asked as he walked into the house.
No we've been looking forever.
Then Jimmy remembered what Lyssa had told him about the roof.
I think I know where she is.
Where? Sean asked as his eyes lit up.
Come with me. Jimmy said as he ran upstairs.
Man I already looked up there. He said annoyed.
Not everywhere, just come.
Fine. Sean walked up the stairs after him, they went into Lyssa's room and he saw Jimmy stick his head out the window.
I see her. Jimmy said as he brought his head back inside.
How did you know? Sean asked confused.
Not now, just go out there and talk to her. But don't tell her I told you where to find her. Okay.
Yea whatever, go tell the others we found her. Sean climbed out of the window and onto the roof.
Jimmy ran down stairs and told everyone they found her. Everyone was relieved and decided to let them talk and they would talk to her tomorrow.
Sean walked over and sat next to Lyssa.
Hi.
Go away. She replied not looking at him.
Is the reason you don't liked to be called Alyssa because she calls you that?
What are you talking about? She asked annoyed. He handed her the letter.
That. Why does she treat you like that? And who is Evan?
He's Nobody. My mom is a phsyco bitch who hate's me.
Can I see your hand?
No.
Please.
NO.
Why?
Because I don't feel the pain right now, but if you touch it I will feel it.
Why aren't you crying?
Why would I be?
Well your mom wants to take tou back to N.Y, you hate her. And some guy who apparently is a piece of shit wants to get back with you, and your hand is cut up bloody and swolen.
Yea well tears won't change that fact now will it. So what does crying do? Nothing.
Okay? Whos Evan?
Ex-boyfriend.
I figured that. What did he do?
Ruin my life.
What do you mean?
Look me and my dad never really got along. My dad and I had just gotten back on good terms. See he left when I was only a couple weeks old but came back when I was 11 or 12, He coached a basketball team and he wanted me to spend time with him so I was always around the team. Then I met Evan. He was really nice and I really fell for him, like really fell hard. We started messing for a while and thats all it was, then one day he talked me into having sex with him. I tried to be normal about it, act like we hadn't done anything so none of his teamates would get suspicious. But what I didn't know was although he told me not to tell anyone, he went off amd told all his friends including the guys on the team. But then after we did it like two or three more times he turned into a complete prick, like if I were to lean on him, he would tell me to get off of him that he wasn't a couch and all of that type of stuff. My dad heard people talking about it one day and found out. He threw Evan off the team and used an excuse like he wasn't good enough. After that Evan just cut me off completely and told me that he didn't hate me he just didn't want anything to do with me. My dad stopped talking to me and basically everything has been even worst since then.
Wow. And now he is trying to get back with you?
Seems that way.
So tell him no.
He doesn't take no for an answer.
You know what, you have me.
Yea well that won't help me when I'm back in N.Y.
Do you want to go?
No. I love it here. I have Paige, and Dylan, better friends and basketball. I don't have to deal with my mother and most of all I have you. Silent tears started to come down Lyssa's face. She wiped them away and turned her back to Sean.
I think your stronger if you let me see you cry.
Yea okay.
No seriously. Because it shows your not afraid to show a weakness. That although you have one you can still be on top.
Lyssa turned back and looked at Sean. She hugged him and let the tears fall. She lifted her head and noticed she got his shirt all wet.
Look. She said as she pointed his shirt.
I don't care. He said laughing.
What am I going to do? I can't go back there I just can't.
You don't have to.
Then what am I going to do then?
You can stay with me or Paige and Dylan. We will figure it out.
I don't know.
Lyssa was shivering. She realized she couldn't feel the pain in her hand because it was numb from the cold.
Lets go inside. Sean said as he helped her up. They went inside and Sean cleaned up her hand and wrapped it in bandages.
She saw the mail was from her mom and rolled her eyes, but opened it. and read.
