Caleb,
It's 3A.M. right now, I can't really sleep especially because when I actually do fall asleep, I have awful nightmares of that night. It has been a week since I left the house other than to see you, of course, you still haven't shown any signs of waking up.
My mom made meatloaf, your favorite. I didn't eat it, I haven't eaten much though it's not to harm myself. Im just never hungry..
-Allison.
"Honey, you're skin & bones. Have a muffin." The nurse said, trying to push the food in my face.
I reached for the plate, and within seconds of turning my head from Caleb, I heard constant beeping. I looked over my shoulder to my boyfriend flopping about in his bed. I dropped the plate with the muffin on it. The nurses rushed in & pushed me out of the room. I felt the tears begin to form at my eyes. My head fell into my hands & I turned so quickly, I ran into something. Or someone.
Opening my eyes, I swear I was in a different world. I looked straight into a pair of ocean blue eyes. My gaze broke as he began to give me pity & tissues. He sat me down next to him in a chair. This kid didnt know me, but it seemed as if I knew him. I took one more look at his face.
His strong jawline. His tanned skin. Two-toned from the shadows of his collar bones. His one slightly gauged ear. To more of the left side of his face was a red spot. More like a handprint. I looked at my right hand, slightly pink from yesturday.
Once it all clicked, I instantly jumped from the chair & ran down the hall. I glanced back at him & he had his mouth gaped open, shocked & confused. I whipped my head back into my normal direction, running my body into a hard wall. Im going down..
Waking up on an itchy couch in a place that smelled like Axe spray is the scariest thing ever. I grabbed the back of the couch trying to sit up. I was spinning my head around to look for a soul in this small apartment.
"Whoa there, thats how you got that headache." The boy said to me, pointing to my head.
"I dont have a..what am I doing here."
"I didnt know where you lived, and the nurse told me to take you home when you got knocked out."
"I didnt get..oh wait." Remembering what had happened, the memory of the Hollister model came flooding back.
"You're supposed to hate me." I pointed to him.
"Why?" He chuckled a little.
"I slapped you, at the mall."
It took him a moment to realise my past actions. His eyes turned dark then back to his normal color. He began chewing on his lip, becoming angry.
"Can you leave?" He said, looking past me.
"Honestly, I would. But I have no idea where I am." I stated.
"Find a way." He stormed off into a room, locking the door quickly.
Running back to that same room, I began to bang on the door.
"I want to leave." I screamed, making sure he could hear me.
At this point, I gave up. I started to twist the knob & push on the door. The door suddenly opened & with all my strength I fell & almost landed on the floor. A pair of arms wrapped around my waist, keeping me from busting my ass, i jerked out of his arms and stormed into the living room.
"Take me home." I demanded.
"I dont have to do anything." He sassed back.
Right then, I almost started to cry. I wanted to see Caleb. I wanted to go home. i wanted to be happy. A tear slipped out of my eye & down my cheek. He reached to wipe it away but I smacked his hand back. I looked around the hallway & found an open door to a bathroom. I ran into the empty room & the locked the door, i wasnt going to let him get the plesure of seeing me cry.
curling up in a ball, I let the tears fall. They spilled down my face. I moved from the floor infront of the door to wipe my nose with toilet paper. The door opened & he was standing in the doorway with a key.
"My house, my rules."
Turning around, I tried to ignore him & not let him see my face.
"Im Josh."
"Awesome." I mumbled
He walked infront of me & sat on the bathtub.
"Are you crying?" his face suddenly softend
"No." My cries became harder. "Yes."
Josh sat on the floor with me, hugging me. I was shaking but for some odd reason felt calmer.
"Allison." I said, looking in his eyes.
