Little Miss Military girl

Chapter 4:Lost in the past

My so-called father walks away smirking. I run at the door and try to make my way out but he slams it in my face and I recoil because of the chains. "Nice try Asha." He says scowling and throwing a boy about 2-3 years older than me.I wish I could slap that stupid scowl off his face. I walk back to the very corner of the room and sit down...to think he was my father or adoptive father at most. All those times he told me he loved me,all those times I thought he cared. I put my hands behind my head as if it was another tornado drill at school. I thought he cared...I guess not. I wish this was a dream, but it's not. I tried to remember that day at the county fair when he taught me how to win a claw machine. The words he said after ring through my head " I love you Asha,you make me so proud," I wish that was true."Crying ain't gonna help you" a deep rough voice says
."That was my father...I don't know what you expect me to do..." I say drying tears off my cheeks…
"My mother put me in this hell hole,I know how you feel,"
"What's your name?" I wonder why his voice sounded somewhat familiar.
"Alex, what about you?" He says firmly.
" Asha..." I say my heart sinking as my own best friend didn't remember me at least so I thought."YOU SON OF A- " he yells banging on the door. "YOU PROMISED YOU B***H!" he falls to his knees crying. "You promised," he mumbles, his voice breaking.
"A promise? Alex,what promise?" I ask quickly. "I thought you were dead!" I yelled after a moment realizing that I grieved over a person who was never dead.
"Your father promised he wouldn't bring you to this hell hole and that he'd never let anyone hurt you," he mumbles, his voice breaking. I look at him wide eyed...my vision starts to go blurry. My heart starts pounding faster than before,I can't seem to get a hold of my breathing;my breathing pattern is way faster than normal. I can hear Alex screaming my name but it's muffled. Alex, my childhood best friend, was never dead...he was kidnapped by his own mother and taken to my dad's troupes hell hole. What the hell?! Tears roll down my face,I feel Alex hugging me. 
“Let it out...I'm only letting you do this so many times…take advantage of it." He says in a gentle voice. I scream and cry harder than I ever had before. Alex has been here the whole time, he looks so different. His dusty brown hair and emerald eyes stayed the same though. Alex and I when we were best friends at the age 5 because our parents worked together. Neither of us had known where our parents worked or what they were doing at the time. We were so close to each other to the point I started falling for him when I turned 15 but in September of that year he was reported dead. I was told he committed suicide but I didn't wanna believe till eventually I did. I had my doubts though. "You ok now?" He says. I nod and dry the tears from my cheeks. I'm so glad I get a chance to see him again.
