I Locked Up My Heart But You Stole The Key

Chapter 3: The Story Behind My Ex

       Liall was always a quiet guy when he first joined our high school. East Brighton High school, the place that became my safe haven. My dad, well he abuses me. Not only mentally, but phyically. It started around when i was in seventh grade when my dad started coming home drunk; always yelling and sometimes putting holes in the walls. I remember the first time my dad actually hit me. Not like a spanking you recieve when your bad, but one where a man is in a fight with a man. 

~~Flashback~~

        It was 1:36 when I woke up to a loud wthundering sound. I slowly got out of bed, making sure to be cautious of my surroundings. when i went to see who was there, I saw my dad sluggishly making his way towards me. I looked at the huge hole that had been punched in the wall. When I looked at my dad all I could see was pure hate and anger spilling from his eyes. When he was finally towering over me he slapped me across the face. Again, and again, and again. By the time I had gotten to tweleve slaps I broke down. I just started to cry then I felt something hard come in contact with my head. I looked up to see my father, the man I have come to trust love and hop;e to protect me, had his hands in fist. Then he began kicking me repeatedly to the point i was just limp and didn't care anymore. I was in a hopeless situation where I could do nothing.

      By the time he stopped hitting me repeatedly it was nearly 3:30 in the morning. I had been through two hours of being beaten and called a mistake and told no one would ever love me. Then I thought that maybe that was true.

~~end of flashback~~

      While standing infront of Liall I began to cry. I only noticed I began to cry when Liall wiped away my tears. "Why are you crying Megan? Did someone hurt you? I swear I'll KILL anyone who hurt you!" Liall said while emphisizing the word kill. "My father was right. Noone will ever love me." Was all  could say, and said it in barely a whisper. Liall shoveled his hand through his dirty blonde hair. His blue eyes drove through my light blue-green eyes. I WAS a lost cause. No one could do anything about it. 

      I had told Liall all about my dad, and what he did to me. He knew my weaknesses, my strengths and evrything that could break me; maybe the reason he cheated was because i drove him off with all my problems. I guess Liall heard when I said my father was right. That no one will ever love me., because he said," That's where your wrong. I did love you, and still do. What I did was a drunken mistake. Its not your fault only mine. Leanne came onto me when I was at my worst point of being drunk. I never ment to sleep with her. I wasn't me when that happened. I am SO So sorry and want you to be my girlfriend again Megan. I LOVE YOU! I love you, and only you Megan Kaylan Winstone. Will You please be my girlfriend again?" Thats when I knew that he ment it. He never used my middle name except for when he was serious. My mind told me yes, and so did my heart. liall was perfect in every shape and form> When was the next time I was going to get this. Then I thought about the time when my grandmother told me to take a chance at love, and that's what I did. Without any warning I threw my arms around Liall's neck and gave him a sweet kiss of acceptance.

      While walking to Study Hall hand-in-hand with Liall, we ran into Toby and James. All James did was glare at me while Toby looked at me, then mine and Liall's intertwined fingers, then back to me with his moouth hanging. Then after coming to what Toby was looking at he punched Liall in the face. " I've been wanting to do that for a long time Liall! You hurt her again and i swear that'll be the end of you." said Toby while clenching his fist. I had to make sure Liall was ok before I said to Toby,  " You know how I feel about violence! Stop, ths is not your decision to make. It's mine, and I will do as I please!"  While Liall and I resumed our way to Study Hall we ran into Bri. She practically did the opposite. " Liall, as much as i want to hit you right now, I know how much Megan hates violence, so im not. You hurt her like you did last time and I swear on my life I will personally kill you. Do you know how many nights I said up with her crying her eyes out? Talking about how she would never find love, or even commitsuicide? I stayed at her bed side for almost three weeks to make sure she didn't kill herself. And I really don't want to watch her go through that again." Not giving Liall the chance to say anythin, Bri walked off. Tears in my eyes I just let go of Liall's hand and made my way to Study Hall without Liall. I really didnt want him to know about my hard times after the beak up. But he did and i was ashamed of it. I was embarrased by myself because I thought about how much a person could break me. While walking I was pulled into a the janitors closet. When I looked up I saw James.
