She Can Fight (completed)

Trust

Friends.

Not something I'm good at. My way for everyone is to just block them out. Because once I have a potential friend they ask about my past. That's when you push them out. That's when they leave. That's when they're gone and think your a weirdo. Yeah, I've had plenty of times like this. They suck. This is why I have no friends.

Not like it's very important though, but here I actually want to fit in. I want to stay here. I think.

I don't know! I really really really like Zach. Can't be love...I mean I've only known him for like, three months-so um yeah....

I don't know but right now I'm sitting on the couch with Zach watching avengers. While I'm shoveling popcorn into my mouth I feel the couch move from under me. I pay no attention and continue watching.

I feel Zach's hand slide into my thigh.

I look over at him

"Are you trying to seduce me?" I asked

He burst out laughing.

"What? Want a lap dance with that?"

This only made him laugh harder and eventually I joined him.

Once our laughter was gone he said "you are so unpredictable"

I smiled at his comment.

There was silence but it was not awkward. It was comforting.

I looked at him and he looked back at me.

"Lexi..."

"Yes" I said

"I-I miss you" he said looking down

I moved next to him and wrapped my arms around him.

I knew exactly what he meant.

"I miss you to"

--------------------------

I'm in a dark room. To dark pitch black.

I feel out and land my hand on a wall. Suddenly the lights turned on. Once my eyes adjusted I could see that I was in a room with cement wall and no ceiling. Just black, and it seems to go on forever.

I walk to the center of  the room looking up. Then out of no where I hear a voice.

"Why did you do it" said a small innocent voice

I looked down and saw the little girl.

I started backing up shaking my head.

"I didn't-I'm not that person" I said

"Yes you are. You are the lady who made my chest hurt." She said

I backed up till I hit the wall and closed my eyes shaking my head.

"I'm sorry" I whispered

"Too late for sorry. My daddy is sad now" she said

I opened my eyes to the same room but with a wall lined with guns.

"No! No!" I yelled

"You know what to do" she said

"No! I can't!" I yelled

"My daddy can" she said

Then I looked beside her and there stood the man who killed Dylan. He had a gun pointed at me.

"My daddy will do it if you don't" she said

With a shaky hand I picked up a pistol. Aimed it at the little girl, and closed my eyes. Then pulls the trigger.

I heard a loud scream as well as a thump on the floor.

I sat up screaming with tears pouring out of my eyes.

Callie ran in.

I was breathing hard and shaky.

"Lexi are you ok?" She asked

I nodded taking a deep breath. Then she left. I stay there and wait. A few minutes later the window opens and Zach climbs in.

Tears still pouring out of my eyes he came and held me. I held onto him.

"Lexi"

"Yeah" I said still with a shaky breath

"Are you ok" he asked with a soothing voice

"No"

He kissed my forehead.

"Try to sleep" he said

I nodded and after a few minutes drifted off into darkness.

------------------

When I woke up Zach was gone. I put on a black sports black and black shorts. I threw my hair into a pony tail and put on some gym shoes.

I walked downstairs and Callie was about to leave with coffee in hand.

"Going for a run?" She asked

"Yeah" I smiled

"Hey Lexi" she said as I was about walk out

"Yeah" I stopped in my tracks

"Is everything ok?" She asked

"It's good. Why?" I asked her

"Well you've been having nightmares...and I know you had a hard life, and things aren't easy. But you can always come to me"

I thought for a moment. Callie has been extremely nice...

No never.

I nodded and ran out the door.
