** Flashback **

"NO! DAD NO! STOP! PLEASE!!" I screamed. He was standing above mum holding a gun to her head. I was tied to a chair forced to watch my mother whom I love so much, die. He then spun around and aimed his gun at me. "What are you going to do? Huh? You're a useless, worthless, little bitch!" I started crying then and mum couldn't do anything about it. She mouthed 'I love you. Stay strong.' And she was gone.' A bullet went right through her chest.

I woke up sweating. My sholder aching and burning from where my dad pushed me down the stairs the previous night. I keep wishing that night was just a nightmare but I know it wasn't. I keep dreaming about that night as I sleep. I miss my mum so much. Now, all I have left of her is the silver heart shaped locket she gave to me a few days before she was killed. Inside the locket is a picture of me and her a few weeks before father became abusive. We were so happy then.

I was a petite girl. 17 years old with only five more months of this hellhole left. I am just so happy to think that in five months I will be 18 and I can finally leave this dump.

I have light brown hair with a couple of freckles across my nose, and light tan skin. My mum was part italian and gave me my skin tone. I have bright green eyes with long eyelashes and a small nose.

My best friend Louis is the only one that knows what is happening at home and what happened to mum. He promised not to tell. He saw me on my front porch, through his window, the day after my mum died. I was sobbing and he just came over and hugged me not asking me what's wrong. Just letting me cry in his arms. Still though, I told him everything.

I then heard the door slam. Father must be home. I got up and ran to my upstairs bedroom and locked the door. I heard a girl start moaning and screaming his name. Ew. He brought home another girl. I quickly looked over my outfit which was light blue ripped skinny jeans and one of Louis old black band t-shirts. Accompanying my outfit was my red converse. I opened my window and jumped out. I have definately mastered the skill of safetly landing from the fall. I ran across the street to Louis' house.

I rang the door bell. His mum Johannah answered. " Oh! Hey Ally. Nice to see you! Louis isn't here right now but he will be here in a few minutes. Do you want to come in?" She asked.

"Uh.. Sure I wanted to talk to Lottie anyways." Lottie is another friend I have that I am super close to. Lou and I are closer, but it's nice to have girl time once in a while. Lottie dosn't know about my dad. Everyone thinks we had a break in and mum was killed by the robbers.

I walked inside and saw Lottie on the couch. "Hey Lottie," I exclaimed. Suprised she turned around.

"Hey Alex!" My real name was Alexandra, everyone called me either Ally or Alex. We started talking about her crush at school when Louis walked in.

"Ooh! Girl talk! What are the latest brands? Boy bands? Crushes?" He said excitedly. I giggled and hugged him.

"Hey Ally. Let's go upstairs I need to tell you a secret about Lottie?" I nodded my head laughing as Lottie pouted.

"HEY!" Lottie yelled.

We went up to his room and I sat on his bed. His room had clothes everywhere.

"Dude, you really need to pick up your room. It's like a tornado blew through here," I laughed.

"Hey! Take that back!" He said faking hurt.

"Umm..," I pretended to think "I dont think so."

"You asked for it!" He said as he started tickling me. I am very ticklish and he knows that. He started a my stomache and I started laughing and squirming. "STOP!! STOP LOUIS!" I pleaded.

"Only if you tell me I am the bestest friend anyone could ever have," he spoke smirking. Then he accidentally touched my shoulder. I sucked in a breath.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I swear." I said.

"It's definately something." He said reasoning with me.

He made me stand up and he turned me around. He lifeted the back of my shirt up to be able to see my shoulder. He gasped the bruise covered my whole shoulder and went down to almost half my back. I had cuts around it where my dad had cut around the bruise with his knife.

"Alex, I don't want this happening to you anymore. I am so done with your fathers bullshit!" His voice raised anger turning into fury at my father.

"Either you tell the police or I will!" He yelled.

"Louis, I know you care for me as I do you but I only have five more months and I'm gone. Just please... " I said softly.

"I just don't like seeing you get hurt. That's all." He whispered playing with my fingers.

"I know Lou. Soon it will be over." I said calmly.

"Ally? You're probably going to hate me for this but I have to tell you something really important.." He said his beautiful blue eyes not meeting mine.
