The New Girl

The Figure next Door

Why is Ashton so scared? Let me tell you her story.
Ashton was walking through the hall ,at her old school, and she met the most perfect guy anyone would be happy with. Mark. They hung out after school everyday and on the weekends. In the fall they would go to the park and play in the leaves like little children again. During the winter they cuddled under a blanket and took long naps. In the spring they were the most cutest couple in the school. But by the summer things changed...big time.
Ashton went over to his house one afternoon. He had been drinking alcohol all day. He threatened to kill Ashton and wouldn't let her leave. He hit her and left bruises. He bent her left arm backwards and broke it. He even stabbed her in the shoulder. She did escape.
Mark went into the bathroom. His mother came home ,and was crying because Ashton looked like she was about to die. His mother helped her up but a few seconds later Mark came into the living room with a knife and beads of sweat pouring down his forehead. Marks mother whispered to Ashton to leave. But when Ashton got to the door, Mark had killed his mother. His mother was like a mother to Ashton herself. As tears were streaming down her face she ran into her mothers car ,that she drove to Marks house, and quickly put in the keys. Mark came out of the house and yelled, "I WILL FIND YOU ASHTON ARKSON!!!"
She drove to her house using her right hand on the steering wheel while the left limply hanging on. Ashton ran into her house and fell to the floor. Her mom came running to her and they quickly drove to the hospital. They soon forgot about the experience.
But now he has returned.
