Spiked My Heart

The Past Comes Back

"Oh yeah, Jill, Hunter told me to give you his number" Cammy mumbled half asleep, throwing her phone to me.

I quickly unlock it and find Hunter's number, I put it in my phone and throw her phone back to her, careful to make it land on the bed but not hit her. I pull up Hunter's number and smile at the thought of texting him.

*text to Hunter*
Jill- "Hey, I finally made it to the room, I hope I don't wake you up, I had fun tonight, thank you"

Hunter- "I'm glad you're safe in your room beautiful, I was asleep but I'm glad I woke up, I had fun too, I'll see you in the morning"

I turned my phone off and turned over smiling. He makes me so happy, I can't believe I get to hang out with him tomorrow. Then my heart drops, tomorrow's my last day here, then I'll go back to Dallas and Hunter will continue with his tour meeting thousands of beautiful girls before returning home to Phoenix. I'll never see him, he won't remember me in a few days, why did I let myself think I had a chance. I flopped over onto my stomach and closed my eyes trying to fall asleep.

~~ "Hey nerd! Get over here" a voice I dreaded hearing yelled.

I slowly turned around and looked up.

"H...hi Abigail" I said trying my best not to sound terrified.

"So I heard you were talking to my boyfriend today in class" Abigail said.

"No, I...he asked for a pencil, then for help on what to d...do"

"Sure, whatever, do you really think he'd fall for a freak like you when he has me? You have different colored hair and you're a complete geek, you make straight A's!" Abigail taunted.

I looked down and hoped she'd just walk away, but I don't have that luck.
Before I can think Abigail grabs me by my hair and throws me to the ground.

"N...next time, ignore h...him freak" Abigail mocked my nervous stutter with a sickeningly sweet smile.

I thought it was over, I stayed on the ground but that was a mistake, Abigail's high heel connected with my stomach causing me to yell out in pain. She kicked my hipbone, ribs, and even my face. I was screaming in pain but no one cared.

She bent down near my face and opened her mouth to speak. ~~

I jolt awake dripping sweat and struggling to breathe. This happens often, I have nightmares like this, this time I was 13 and got attacked by a girl back home. I get up and run to the bathroom, closing the door behind me. I slide down the door and lie on the tile. My breathing was short and rapid, I couldn't control it.
