Chapter 7, On the search for my true love
"Lets run away Carson." I sobbed after the bullies at school beat me up.
"No that won't solve anything." Carson said looking at my bruised and bloody face. "Lets go home."
"No they said if I tell anyone I will regret it." I cried.
"Well your face is sort of obvious." Carson said.
"Please can we run away?" I begged.
"Yeah Ali lets run away." Carson then took me to the park and we played all day. At night I got tired and we walked all the way back home.
"Hello Alessandra." My makeup artist Sage said. "What's a matter you look like you've seen a ghost."
"Close to it." I said. "I can't do this movie anymore. Cancel for me."
"But Alessandra?" Sage said. "This is your big break!"
"I-I can't anymore." I said grabbing a peice of paper and scribbled a note to my manager. "Just give this to Steve."
"Okay Ali." She sighed. "Are you quitting all together?"
"I don't know." I said. "Maybe I'll come back in a bit. I have a bit of a family crisis."
"Okay sweetie." She gave me a hug. "I'll see you in a while."
"Wait do you kow where Carson went?" I asked.
"Your son?" Her brow furrowed in confusion.
"No my new assitant."
"Oh I don't know."
"Also can you check my bank account now?" I asked.
"Sure." She typed for a minute. "Theres no money."
I groaned. Just what I thought, Ashton stole it all.
"Is there something going on here?" Sage asked. "You had millions the other day, Did someone rob you?"
"No... not exactly." I stuttered.
"What-"
I cut in. "If Carson comes back can you give him a message?"
"Sure."
"Tell him that it wasn't true." I said walking away.
"What wasn't true?" Sage called.
"That I wanted him to leave, and tell him I love him and I made a mistake." I walked out the door.
Where are you Carson?
I boarded a bus and started the long ride back to my parents house in Florida.
I kept my eyes open the entire time. One because I was scared, and second because there was this creepy guy with dark died black hair and tattoos all over his arms.
He was always staring at me. And I squirmed under his gaze.
Creeper.
When I had to switch buses he was always there. If he was one of Ashton's lackeys I wish he would just say so and kill me. So I went up to him and sat right ny him. To prove that I wasn't scared even though I was shaking.
"Hey where you headed?" I asked casually.
He eyed me suspicously. "Florida."
"Same." I said.
"Well maybe we'll see eachother again." He said getting up, walking past me and sitting in back of the bus so he could stare at me again.
He's weird. I thought.
....
I got off the bus an hour later. I couldn't rent a car since I had limited money so I walked the rest of the way to my father's store.
"Fancy seeing you here." Someone said from behind me.
I sighed knowing exactly who it was. I turned.
"Hello there." I said to the creepy tattooed guy.
"Hello. Alessandra I presume?" He said.
"Yep." I said.
"Good." He took a step toward me with something glittering in his hand. A knife.
