Chapter Two:

Ally's POV

Do you know what it's like, to know you're not good enough? Like having a wild animal hunt you down but as soon as he's about to eat you, he just turns around and walks away. All you're left to think is why? Why did he walk away, does he think you weren't even worth it?

Well the man who was pointing a gun at me about to end my life just walked away. Without a word just walked away. I thought maybe he just took pity as was going to let me go. Little did I know he turned around to grab a knife. He probably thought the neighbors would hear the gunshot. But I doubt it they didn't hear my screams. I quickly grabbed the bottle of wine that was on the floor and put it behind me. He came closer and held the knife up so I can see it; I quickly swung the wine bottle and slapped it across his head. I wanted to grab the knife and put him out for good. But I couldn't, I left without saying a word. I didn't know if I killed him or just knocked him out but I hope I never see him again. To think that he once loved me, and I loved him. I turned around to him and looked at him on the floor before I left. I thought of all the good memories, all the laughs we would share. "Goodbye Father" I whispered before running down the street. I cried and cried I didn't know what else to do, I didn't have anyone else. I fell asleep on a park bench and just cried myself to sleep.

I woke up with someone poking my face; it was a little girl with a big smile. I got off the bench and she squealed "Oh! Good I thought you were dead!" she exclaimed. This made me smile a bit. "Nana!" she yelled. "Yes?" a lady said walking towards me. "Dear are you alright?" she asked me. I wanted to say yes but I couldn't because well, I wasn't. I shook my head letting a tear out. She sat on the bench and gestured me to sit down too. I felt like a little girl crying, I felt so vulnerable so exposed. "Tell us dear, what happened?" she asked looking worried. I don't know why but I felt like I could tell her. But words just didn't come out of my mouth. "Hey how about you come home with us and you can tell us over dinner" she smiled. I managed to smile and nod as the little girl took my hand and we walked a couple blocks. We ended up in front of a house. It wasn't too big and it didn't have modern furniture but it felt cozy and warm.

"Hun, how about you shower and then we can have dinner." The lady smiled while she handed me a towel.

I nodded and followed her up the stairs and to the bathroom. I went was about to go inside but I just grabbed her and hugged her.

"Oh dear! Are you okay?" she asked obviously startled.

"I'm sorry." I sighed.

"Your just really nice and-" I started.

"Dear, everyone needs a little help sometimes." She smiled.

"How about you get washed up and we talk about what happened over dinner." She smiled and walked down the stairs.

I just met her and I don't even know her but I feel like I can trust her.

I hopped in the shower and let the water just run down me for a second. It felt nice and comfortable and I haven't felt like this for a long time. I got out of the shower and looked at myself in the mirror. I quickly looked away because I couldn't even look at myself. I look broken and hideous. I quickly changed and then slowly walked downstairs as a wonderful aroma filled the air.

"Katie, dinners waiting!" I heard the lady shout from the kitchen.

I saw the little girl run towards me and she had a smile on her face.

"I'm Katie. "she smiled.

"I'm Ally." I smiled.
