Fall (ON HOLD)

Chapter 2

I woke, to a door slamming coming from downstairs.

I slowly stood up and walked to my door, peaking my head out to make sure my dad wasn't here.

I slowly walked out of my room and went downstairs to get some food, and there was my dad passed out on the couch with a beer in his hand.

I tiptoed my way to the kitchen and grabbed myself an apple, and hurried up backstairs to my room before my dad wakes up. I sat on my bed just looking at my room, my rooms really not very special, all I have is a closet, a drawer with a picture of me and my mom on it and my desk, with my laptop. I mean my walls aren't even decorated, just white. Sometimes its quite depressing.

After I finished my apple, I threw it in the trash and walked over to my bathroom , to take my antidepressant pills. I looked at myself in the mirror, gosh I'm so ugly, and skinny, you can pretty much see my bones almost. Sometimes I'm starved, I'm not allowed to leave my room, I once had nothing but water for 5 days. All over my body all you see is scars and bruises, I looked at my cheek with a fresh red spot from last night. I got out some of my make up and tried to cover it up as much as I could, then I put my hair in a braid. I walked out of the bathroom and into my bedroom and put a long sleeve shirt on to cover my bruises and cuts, then put on a pair of red skinny pants and my grey jacket, I went downstairs quietly and put on my black high tops. I grabbed my key from the counter and went outside and locked the door, and started walking to the grocery store.

....

I finally got to the store and grabbed a cart and went inside, I grabbed my grocery list from my back pocket and looked at the first thing on the list, Milk.

I went over to the Dairy section and grabbed 2 jugs of milk and put them in the cart.

After I got everything I needed on my list, I decided to get something special for me, I went to the candy section to get myself a chocolate bar, I walked into the aisle and there was a loud ruckus then someone ran into me, dropping their box of cupcakes onto my jacket.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry"

I looked up and there was a boy who looked around my age, towering over me. He held out his hand for me to take it, I grabbed it, and he pulled me up.

He looked at my jacket

"Oh I'm so sorry, do you want me to buy you another jacket?"

I shook my head no

"Are you sure? I feel so bad, I didn't see you there"

"Well how about I make it up to you, I'll take you out for coffee"

The offer was nice, but I couldn't I didn't even know this guy.

I shook my head again,

"Well I'm Liam, and I'm very sorry, since you declined my offer for coffee maybe I can get your number and we can do it another time?" he slightly smiled

I thought about, Why not he's cute, I took out a napkin that I had in my purse and wrote my number down and my name.

I handed it to him

"Hazel, That's a pretty name",

I smiled,

"Well Hazel I'll call you later"

I shook my head

"Text?" , he said a little confused

I shook my head yes.

"Well ok, I'll see you around"

I smiled and started walking away, leaving him there

*LIAMS POV*

Wow, Hazel that's a nice name, She was cute, but she looked like something was bothering her, she did look awful skinny and it looked like there was some type of mark on her cheek.

I shook it off.

She was very quiet, I wonder why, she didn't talk to me at all.

I hope she'll answer my texts though, I wonder if I sound to desperate,

I'm just trying to get to know this girl

Well I did spill cupcakes all over her jacket,

Oh yeah that reminds me I need to get more cupcakes,

Oh my gosh, I'm freaking out,

This always happens to me

*HAZEL'S POV*

I can't help but think that the boy looked familiar , but I'm not sure what he's from, maybe he was on TV or something yeah that what it was, I bet if he knew how I really was he would probably never talk to me, cause I mean lets face it I'm a freak.

....

I finally got home and unlocked the door and there was my dad sitting at the table with an empty beer bottle with in his hands.

He groaned.

"Get me another beer from the fridge" I put down the groceries and walked over to the fridge and grabbed him a beer, and walked over and gave it to him.

He snatched it from my hands and mumbled something not audible.

I walked back to the grocery bags to put them away.

"I'm going to be gone tomorrow and the next day, so your going to have to take care of the house while I'm gone, and you better not mess anything up or I'll beat you.

I nodded

"LOOK AT ME WHILE I'M TALKING TO YOU"

His voice got louder

I turned around and he was right behind me.

"I SAID LOOK AT ME WHILE IM TALKING TO YOU"

I nodded, with the look of fear on my face.

I felt Something hard hit my head, and I fell to the floor in pain.

"Worthless girl"

I heard him mumble before I completely knocked out.
