Saving Ally

Chapter 17

—Ally Christian

I wake up cold, but refreshed. I open my eyes, but having to squint a second afterwards due to the sun rays spilling through my window. I sit up expecting to look over and see Drew, but my bed is empty. Instead there's a note on the pillow he was laying on.

 Dear Ally,

 I'm sorry I left. I left early because I didn't want you to get in trouble by your dad for having me in your bed with you. I'll see you at school today, alright? Have a safe drive. (P.S. you look like a newborn angel when you're sleeping.)

 Love, Drew

I smile like a six-year-old that just got candy. I can't help but blush at the last line.

I get out of bed with the note in my hand, and walk over to my desk in the corner by my bathroom door. I open my drawer and pull out my box. I keep everything in my box. It's like a diary, but it's filled with objects instead of words. This has everything in it to describe every emotion in my body.

I place Drew's letter in the box along with all the other pictures and objects. Smiling at myself, I seal the box back up and place back in the drawer.

Walking into science, I spot Drew in the back of the class, but something isn't right. He's talking to a girl. A girl that I use to know. I feel a sting of pain in my heart. A pain that I haven't felt since my mother died. Her name is Lauren.

Lauren and I use to be good friends in middle school, but she drifted away. Soon she became popular and being popular, you can't talk to the outsiders. The quiet ones. Now, she's a perfect blonde with sparkly white teeth, and sea blue eyes. She's tall and always has different clothes. She's one of those people that don't wear the same outfit after a month, and that's because she's rich. I'm more rich than her, but I don't waste money. I'm saving all of my money so I can get the hell out of my dads house, and maybe stay with my sister in Chicago.

Lauren flips her gorgeous hair over her perfect shoulder and laughs at something that Drew says. I can't help but feel anger and jealously bubble up inside of me.

What do I do now? I can't walk over there and get in the middle of their conversation, but I can't stand here looking like a freak. Wow, I'm a freak. Of course he would go for her, I mean look at her, she's perfect. She's got it all, and me? I have nothing, because I'm nothing but a stupid little girl that deserves to have her heart crushed.

I grip onto my binder in my hands, and with tears in my eyes, I simply leave. I speed down the hallway, wiping my tears as I do. I go into an empty bathroom and lock myself in one of the stalls. I lean up against he stall door and cry my eyes out. I let the pain and depression spill out of me until there's nothing left. I didn't know I could ever feel this way again after my mom's death, but it's possible. And there's only one way for why it's possible.

 I love Drew Borden, and I let him steal my heart.

I guess that's why they call him a bad boy.

I know, I know, I'm really evil for doing this, but I gotta spice things up a bit. If you have any suggestions for future chapters just tell me. Love y'all.
