All I Ever Wanted

Texting

I wiped away the tears stinging my eyes while I pushed my way through the crowded hallways

Ugh, I hate crying.

"Wait.." He said grabbing my shoulder and stopping me

I spun around to see that 'Luke' kid

"What?!" I said irritated

When someone walks away and tells you its none of your business don't you leave them alone?

"Tell me why he shoved you" he said

"Like I said about 10 seconds ago..It's.none.of.Your.business" I said

"Please, you look really nice and why would he hurt such a nice person?" He said

"Just stop. You don't even know me" I said

"Can I get to know you?" He asked sweetly

"..You don't want to be involved in my life, just..leave me alone" I said, shaking his hand off my shoulder

I walked away and this time he didn't follow..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After school I walked out the back doors and took the trail behind the school to walk home.

If I walked with everyone else..Well let's just say it'd be worse then what happened earlier..

I held my book bag and pulled my phone out of my pocket

I got about 11 texts, each one throwing insults at me.

Cyber bullying I didn't really care about, at least it's not physical..

I looked up from my phone when I heard a loud voice

"Hey!" He yelled angrily

My eyes widened..

It's worse outside of school..No teachers there to help me.

I backed away and my back hit the trunk of the tree

I sank down until I was on my knees

"P-please just leave me alone" I mumbled with my head down

"Awe look, she's begging.." He snickered

I still looked down.

He grabbed my chin roughly and made me look at him.

He spit in my face before shoving me onto the ground

"Beg for me not to...just like you used to.." He smirked

I didn't want to bring back those memories..those terrible, terrible memories

"Please..stop" I begged

He kicked my side roughly, where I would certainly have a bruise in the morning.

I cried out.

"Don't fucking touch her!" I heard someone yell

I looked up and saw..Luke?

"What are you gonna do pretty boy?" He said to Luke

"Just leave her alone.." Luke said

"Fine" he spat before glaring at me and walking away

"Just this one time.." He said

Luke helped me up.

He brushed my bangs from my eyes "Are you ok?" He said, worried

"Yeah, fucking peachy...." I said

"Lift up your shirt" he said

"What?" I looked up, confused

"The side of your shirt lift it up" he said

I lifted up the left side of my shirt a little to reveal a bruise already forming

I put my shirt down.

He didn't say anything.

"Are you gonna say something?" I said

"I can't ask why he's hurting you or you'll get angry again.." He said

"Oh" I responded

"I-i should go home.." I said

"He might hurt you again!" He said quickly

"I'll be fine" I smiled weakly

I walked over and picked up my book bag and started walking home

I took the keys from my pocket and unlocked my front door

"Skylar, your finally home. What took you so long!" My mom yelled

I ignored her and walked into the kitchen, putting my book bag on the counter

"Honey, bring me another bottle of vodka would ya?" She said

"No mom, you drink way too much." I said

"Excuse me? Do not talk to me like that young lady!" She said sternly

"Yeah, yeah whatever" I said

"Go to your room!" She said

"That's where I was going anyways so.." I said, grabbing an apple

"Stupid child.." She muttered as I was walking up the stairs

Yep, you just saw a glimpse of my always-getting-wasted mother. Scary ain't it.

I walked into my room and closed the door. I looked out the window and as my brother outside in the backyard..

This was also usual for me. Looking outside and seeing your brother smoking weed with his friends, I've actually done it with them once or twice.

I laid down on my side on my bed.

I shrieked from the pain shooting up the left side of my body

I turned over so I was lying on my back and pulled my phone out.

Delete..delete..delete..read..delete..Unknown number?

I looked at the message

Unknown Number: Hey :)

I looked at it and deleted it.

Well, what to do now..I thought a I bounced a tennis ball continuously off my wall.

My phone vibrated next to me

Unknown Number: Hello?

Me: Umm, who is this?

Unknown Number: Luke :)

Me: How did you get my number?

Unknown Number: Your friend Maddie..

Me: Oh well..um..hii?

(New Contact) Luke: Lol hey, so how's your side feeling

Me: Better, Thanks for um..saving me

Luke: No problem :)

I smiled at the texts

Shit..I can't let another person into my life

Curse him for being so damn nice...
