Alone With You

Chapter 1- The Beginning

Beep! Beep! Beep! I hit the top of my alarm clock."Ugh." I rolled out of bed and hit the cold hard ground.

"Sydra, get up or I'm coming up there and doing it myself!" my Dad yelled.

"I'm up!" I yelled back,  quickly getting up.

After taking a quick shower, I put on some black skinny jeans with rips in them, a black and white shirt, my black leather jacket, my hair up in a French braid, a black beanie, and my black converse shoes. I grabbed my phone with my headphones in them and picked out 'Fall Out Boy' to listen to. Then, I grabbed my shoulder bag and skateboard. I ran downstairs to see my Dad sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Sydra, I'm not going to be here tonight, so you're on your own."

"Okay, Dad." I walked outside. I started skating down the road.

My name is Sydra and I have blue eyes and light brown hair. I live with my Dad. He gets drunk a lot and goes to parties every night. My Mom, well, she died a little over three years ago. I'm also the only child. I only wear black and white. I also don't have a car, so instead I have a skateboard. I am a straight A student, I have no friends, and this is the "first" day of school, for others, it's their third month.

I made it to school to see everyone looking at me. I didn't mind it as long as I don't make any new friends.

"Hello, I'm new. I need my schedule." I said to the front desk office lady.

"What's your name?" she said, cheerfully.

"Sydra."

"Here you go." She handed me my schedule and a bunch of books.

"Thank you." I said and walked out.

I walked to my locker, number 389, to see that I was placed in the middle of two boys. I sat my things down in front of the locker and started putting my locker combination in. Then, a boy with short, messy brown hair, with blue eyes started coming my way. I just kept my head down.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Name's Sydra and I don't want any friends, boyfriends, or enemies. Got it." I said turning around.

"Fine by me, now are you a straight A student?"

"Yeah, why?"

"My name is Chase, and your my new tutor. Here's my phone number, I want you to call me every night." And just like that, the guy just walked away.

The rest of the day went like a blur.

I grabbed my skateboard from my locker and started walking out of the school. I started skating on the sidewalk when Chase stepped right in front of me, making me fall.

"Whoa." He said catching my arms, "You should watch where you're going."

"Watch where I'm going, you should watch where you're stepping!"

"Watch what you're saying, princess! Now, instead of riding on your skateboard, me and my buddy's need to be tutored, so let's go." He grabbed me and put me on his shoulder while a different boy grabbed my skateboard.

"Put me down! And you! Do. NOT. Break. That. Skateboard." I said hitting Chase. He opened the back seat door and sat me down. He then pushed the lock button in the car. His friends and him just started talking until they felt like going.

As soon as we left he drove us to his so called "house". To me, it looked more like a mansion.  We walked in just to be greeted by a woman and a man.

"Hello my name is Grace. You must be Chase's tutor." The woman said.

"My name is Dave, we're so glad you volunteered."

"Well actually he forced me to, so I just agreed." I said and they started laughing.

"Well, you five have fun." She said and left.

"Let's go." Chase said walking up the stair with the other's, I just walked behind them. We walked into Chase's room and sat down. I sat down on his bed besides him. Suddenly a boy pushes the door open running and soon he was in my lap with his arms around my neck.

"Save me." he whispered in my ear.

"Um....okay." He lifted his head up.

"My name is Sid and I'm ten. I like-, your pretty." he said.

"My name is Sydra and I'm fifteen. You look cute." I smiled at him and he smiled back, "So what do you want me to save you from." I whispered.

"Follow me." He pulled me out of the room and looked back at the other's. They all had blank faces on them so I just smiled. "There." Sid pointed towards the TV with a ghost on it.

"Hold on." I started giggling. I went and turned off the TV, "There you go, now don't turn it on."

"Yes ma'am." He said and I walked back upstairs.

"Now how about we start on homework."

"But that's boring. It's Friday, let's go to a party." One of the boys said.

"No, you want my help then you have to sit there, like a good boy." I said pointing towards where he was sitting.

"Come on, little Sydra's scared." Chase said messing with my hair.

"I am not scared, I just want to get the tutoring done, before my father comes home and finds out that I'm not there. Do you know what happens if he finds out that I'm not there?" They all shook there heads no, "I will get hurt and I don't want that happening, so let's just get this over with."

"What do you mean you'll get hurt?" Chase said sitting up.

"I've said to much."

"Sydra, answer me."

"I don't want to."

"Sydra. Does he actually hurt, hurt you?"

"I don't want to talk about it." I said again.

"Where did he hurt you?"

"I said, I didn't want to talk about it." I said, getting up with all my books flying to the ground. I ran out of the room, crying. I ran to the nearest bathroom and slid down the door.

"Sydra, let me in." Chase banging on the door. "Sydra!" I opened the door and he came flying in. I sat in the corner before he came in. He walked over to me and held me in a hug. 

"Sydra, tell me where he hurt you."

I pause for a minute. "My stomach, face, leg, and almost broke my arm. I also had to go to the hospital because he hit me so hard that I almost died."

"I am so sorry." he said. "I don't want you to stay there, you're not going back home tonight. I'm going to help you."

"Okay..." I whisper and hug him tightly.

That night I was lying on Chase's bed and he was lying on his couch. I slowly fell asleep, but then I woke up finding myself screaming with my hands over my ear's. I felt a hand on my arm.

"Sydra, it was just a dream." Chase said pulling me close when I started crying.

"Bubby, what was that?" Sid said walking in the room.

"Sid, it was nothing, just go back to sleep." Chase said and he went back to sleep. "It's okay, calm down."

I laid down in Chase's arm's while he was stroking my hair with one hand and the other he was rubbing my back, and I had my head to his chest.
