---------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter One
"Gail, your back early!" Todd exclaimed as I came into my house with my jaw dropping to the floor when I saw my boyfriend and another girl half-naked making out. "Wait Gail, let me explain! It's you I want, I don't love her like I love you!" He cried pathetically when he saw how shocked my face was. The other girl obviously didn't care that he was just using her for sex.
"Get out, I don't want to hear you explanations!" I screamed.
"But," Todd protested.
"Get out now! And take your slut with you!"
I was pissed. The damn bastered can't even keep his hands off a girl for one second! I came home to Tulsa after visiting my aunt in New York for the summer finding my boyfriend for a year, screwing another girl in my house! I felt empty and stupid for trusting him. I decided to take a run to calm me down.
I am 20 years old, I guess you could call me tall, I'm 5'7", I have bright blue eyes and dark brown hair, and I live in my mother's old house. She died a couple years ago from lung cancer. She smoked too much. After she died I tried to quit smoking but at that time it was just easy to let my worries go and relax. I was under a lot of stress at that time because my boyfriend (My boyfriend before Todd) Brian, left me for college and at that time my grandparents died in a car crash.
It was then when I had a breakdown and moved back to the state I grew up in, New York, for a bit to get away from it all. There I could hide from everyone and just be myself. You could say the New York life had roughed me up a bit, gave me trusting problems and it also kept my emotions sealed inside me. Nine months later I moved back to Tulsa to live in my mother's house and met Todd.
As my legs grew tired I slowed down and began to walk through the park I had arrived at. I sat down on a bench and allowed peaceful memories to fill my head. Like the day I moved here to Tulsa from New York when I was 10, my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first heartbreak and what I did to the guy after, when Todd came into my life and when Brian left, and the day my mom got married again. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice the rustling of the bush a few yards away. The second time I heard it I jumped up off the bench scared out of my wits.
"Hey there greaser." Said a rough-looking soc coming out from behind the bush. "What's a pretty thing like you doin out so late? I think you deserve a punishment because it's way passed your bed time." Grinned the soc. (A/N: Well it seems that most of the stories I read, the girl gets raped. I'm not doing that cause everyone else has.)
As soon as he said that, I felt a fist collide with my ribs knocking me down instantly. I felt my ribs crack. Man he's stronger than I expected! The soc just laughed. Groaning in pain I got back up and before he knew it, I kicked him in the place it hurts most, knocking down my opponent. I smirked and turned to leave. As soon as I turned, I found that the soc's gang surrounded me. Unfortunately I was out numbered five, well four not counting the one I kicked in the nuts, to one. As they formed a circle around me I screamed for help. That turned out to be more pain for me.
When I let my piercing scream out one guy rushed up to me and tackled me to the ground knocking the wind out of me. "What's the matter? Can't sleep? It is past your bedtime, I think we should help you get back to sleep." He grinned evilly. I struggled against his grip but it was too strong. He put one hand on my shoulder to keep me down and continuously punched me with the other. I swung my arm (A/N: Just to clear any confusion up, he's only holding her down by a shoulder so she has a free arm.) hard across his face and punched him in the stomach. From the look on his face, I guess he underestimated me. As I looked around, I guessed the other members of the gang had run away as soon as they saw me kick the shit out of their friend. I got up quickly and started to run.
Me, stupidly enough didn't watch where I was going and ran smack down into a tree. Once again, groaning as I got up, started running. But then just my luck, the soc who's balls I previously kick grabbed my ankle and pulled me to the ground once more and pulled out a gun. I froze. Not knowing what to do I just stayed there, watching his every move. The soc was about to pull the trigger as I shut my eyes. I heard the gun go off, but I wasn't shot.
The soc that tried to shoot me before laid on the ground unconscious, with blood all over his shoulder. Thankful that I wasn't dead, I looked for the person who shot the soc, and to my surprise it was the last person I expected.
Dallas Winston. Then darkness took me.
