Crystal dalton was the girl that sat in the back of the class with her head down low as her beautiful long black hair was covered with her black oversized hoodie as well as her bruises and scares on her back and arms. Last night was the farthest her dad has ever gone . Since crystal was old enough to understand shes been told by her family including her dad that she was the reason her mom died and that she was never going to make it in life, at school it was "your ugly" or "Kill yourself loser" of course she believed them, But she mainly understood her dad. He was a 45 year old man working all day whos life fell apart after his wife died, crystal understood that he was just hurting but she didnt understand why he hated her for it. Mrs.Dalton passed away giving birth to Crystal, the doctors said that none of them were going to make it if she went through with it but clearly Ms. Dalton had faith. From what crystal has over heard she was the beautifulest- most kind hearted woman anyone has ever met. Sometimes Crystal liked to imagine how her mom looked since she was never allowed to see a picture of her let alone ask.
suddenly a big tall figure interuptted crystals thoughts " Hey can you pass me my pencil." a deep voice asked crystal it was Hayden Donovan. Hayden.. he was the guy who sat in front of the class with his head up high always glaring back at crystal wondering why she always so down. 'uh yea...sure..here" she picked up the pencil wondering why it even landed back there. He walked away back to his seat. After 30 minutes of the teacher basically just saying how shes going to miss all her students the bell rings. Finally high school is officially over . "oh god" crystal mummers under her breath realizing her dad was texting her the whole class and didnt notice " im going out today figure out what your going to eat" "hellllooooo" " crystal your going to get it if you dont answer" " thats it im staying home prepare yourself for when you get here" "your probably going to a party arent you" her eyes watered in fear as she read through the messeges but she put her fear aside and started her walk home.
As soon as she walked in her house her heart dropped in terror but before she was able to even close the door someones hand had already locked into her hair. He pushed her to the ground, her head getting shoved to the cold floor board. She winced in pain 'Dad please" she cried out. A knock on the door made Mr. Dalton's hand pull back before making contact with her face once again. 'You got lucky" He chuckled while grabbing the door knob to check who interrupted his father daughter time. As soon as crystal was able to see who was at the door her eyes widend and she pulled herself up from the floor. ' Who are you" Mr.dalton said in a rude tone. " hi nice to meet you im Hayden im was Crystals class" Haydens deep voice echoed through the living room
" OH Hey hadyen what are you doing here' Crystal interrupted there conversation just so her dad wont say anything to worsen her reputation
"Your headphones fell out of your bag but you hadnt notice so i thought i would bring them for you" he said in a soft tone
crystal slowly started to smile. Had someone actually cared enough to go through so much trouble.
'Oh thank you" crystal quickly grabbed the headphones and went to close the door in confusion but a hand stoped it from closing on the other side
'sorry i dont mean to bother but im kind of already here andddd school ended so i was hoping you would go get ice cream or something with me" Hayden prouposed
crystal looked at hayden then back at her dad.
"yea let me get my bag " she hurried and grabbed her tan messenger bag from the floor
"ill be back" she screamed
she walked towards a new ford mustand convertable. He didnt really seem like the type of guy to care about having the car of the year but she didnt really know him at all to judge
