Ally's pov

The next morning I woke up at 7:30 I never wake up that early.

I go downstairs and see Matt making pancakes.

"Well good morning" he said looking back at me

"Morning" i reply

*after breakfast*

I get ready for school as usual and put on a long sleeve shirt. Black jeans and converse

Before I leave someone knocks at the door.

I look through the window and see who it is. It's my dad.

"Oh shit" I say whispering

I run upstairs while Matt gets the door

"Hello there" I can hear Matt say

"Whatever. Hey I'm looking for my daughter. She ran away last night apparently and I wanna know where she is. Do you know?" My dad say

"Ally?" Matt asks

"Yes... Now where is she?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen her since yesterday when she ran off at school" Matt says

I'm all the way upstairs but I could hear my dads raspy breathing from his smoking and drinking

He leaves

"You can come down now." Matt says "it's all clear"

I go downstairs with a scared look on my face.

"It's fine ally, he's gone" he says with a sure voice

All of the sudden I hear a loud bang and the window shatters into millions of pieces.

Matt looks at me and falls to the ground.

I run towards him. His baby blue shirt is now soaked red.

My dad comes in with a shotgun

"I fucking told you ally. But you had to be a slut and run away to this fag " he says aiming the gun at me

I run towards him and before he is able to shoot I knock him over and punch him with all might.

The neighbors heard the gunshots and called the cops. They arrive minutes later and pull me off of my dad.

He lays there still. Not moving. Or might not even. Be breathing.

I rush back over to Matt who is almost unconscious and Barley alive.

I hear sirens and wails in the distance. I cry all the way to the hospital while holding matts hand in the ambulance.

"Stay with me Matt. It's okay. Stay awake" I say to him while stroking his face.

"I-I love you" he manages to say.

He passes out moments later.

"You need to sit back and relax. He will be fine. The bullet only went through his stomach. It didn't hit any major arteries." The paramedic say putting her arm on my hand.

I sit back and just look at Matt. Unconscious and looking helpless.

"I love you too Matt" I say to myself
