Aliyah's POV-

My alarm went off at 6am which only meant one thing.....ugh it's another school day!!!! I hated everything about school- except meeting my best friend Daniella, we've known eachother since third grade and we literally know everything about eachother...she also knew about the bruises my foster parents gave. I lazily got off my dirty mattress aka my bed and made my way to the washroom. I turned on the hot water of the shower and took my time to feel the water sooth my aching muscles.

By the time I showered, got dressed, brushed my teeth and all the other things I do in the morning , it was 6:50am. I wore a normal black long sleeved hoodie with steel blue skinny jeans with my normal black and white converses. I decided to put my hair in a messy bun as I didn't feel like doing anything to it.

Before leaving for school I applied some foundation and concealer to cover up some bruises and I grabbed my back pack and a breakfast granola bar and rushed out of my house before my foster parents wake up

Before leaving for school I applied some foundation and concealer to cover up some bruises and I grabbed my back pack and a breakfast granola bar and rushed out of my house before my foster parents wake up.

I was waiting for my bus which usually comes at 7am. It was late, I checked the time and it was already 7:07am so I decided to just walk it, it's just a thirty minute walk. I was walking down the road enjoying the nature around when suddenly a jet black car dashed passed me...geez! I could've died!

I reached the entrance gate of the  school and as soon as I walked in I remember my parents saying something last night that they wanted to talk to me as soon as I get home. I ignored the thought and walked to my locker praying I don't get a jumpscare from Daniella again. As I was waiting  I heard Daniella shouting my name and running down the hallway like some serial killer was chasing her. By the time she reached me she was practically out of breath. 'Heyyy! Are you okay?'. 'ALI' she shouted and the people in the  hallway turned their heads towards us. 'Uh hello to you too...what's up? ' I asked as she had looked like she was crying
at this point. My patience was wearing off. She took 3 deep breaths and what I heard next..didn't even shock me. 'Okay..you know Jacob my boyfriend - my ex HE Freaking CHEATED ON ME! ' she again, shouted at the top of her lungs. 'Okay...I need to know this because...?' I'm not the relationship type of person so don't ask why I'm being unbothered. she collapsed in my arms and started crying her eyes out. Okay then.  'Ali,  you know I love him! We've been together for two years now and he decided to make out with that spoiled brat  Susanne!' .You guys are probably wondering who that is, Susanne is the queen bee in our school and literally all the boys are trying to get her.

It's finally 5th period and only 6 minutes for the bell to ring. I cheered Daniella up by getting her a mint chocolate chip ice cream from the cafeteria and as soon as she saw it she stopped crying and started jumping around like a happy baby, real definition of bipolar ladies and gentlemen! Daniella asked if she wanted to  hang out after school today but I told her that I couldnt as my foster parents wanted to talk to me about something. She gave me the good luck face and I knew what she was talking about. All I could do was give a small smile in return.

I was on the bus on my way home staring at all the happy families when I felt the bus came to a stop. I realised it was my stop so quickly got off thanking the bus driver.

I entered the house and took three deep breaths and walked into the living room where they always are. 'sit down you lazy girl! we don't have all day! You took forever getting here!'. My father spat on my face whilst saying that. Dis.gus.ting. Pulling my right sleeve down I wiped my face and sat down on the couch and asked what they wanted to talk about. 'SHUT UP!'  is all I got for my answer.

'Well I have things more important to do than sitting here talking to you so I'll just get straight to the point.' My so called mom told me and I slowly nodded my head anxious as to where this was heading. Why does she look so happy? My foster dad rolled his eyes and got straight to the point. 'You're gonna get married to Damon heights in two months.' what?! What the actual hell .THE DAMON HEIGHTS!? I tried to read their faces to see if they were joking but there was no sign of it. But they looked really ...thankful?...releived? 'w-i-uh-wh-' I couldn't form any words, nothing is making any sense right now!

I cried on their knees telling them they  couldn't do this without my permission I mean it's my wedding...right?  'Mom! Dad! P-please don't do this to me! I may not be your daughter b-but you still accepted me! P-please I don't e-even know the guy I c-cant just marry him! PLEASE STOP THIS MARRAIGE!' They looked more angry and just pushed me off their knees causing me to to fall on my back.

'SHUT UP YOU UNGRATEFUL BRAT! WE DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU, AND THIS IS WHAT YOU SAY TO US!? You should be thankful I'm marrying you off to a rich guy!' My mother spits at my face and just walks off scoffing which left me and my father alone.

'Dad, please....please do something I don't know who he even is! He's probably more than a rich guy da-'
I stopped talking when I felt a sting on my cheek, he slapped me. 'you are going to marry him! End of discussion!'

As much as I don't want this marraige....I can't let anyone know it's me he's getting married to, except Dani of course.
