Why Can't We Be Like Them?

.8.

It has been a week since Ali and Nash got together and I haven't seen her the last few days.

I'm sure she is fine but I'm am still worried. However this gave me time to work on my social media and covers, I think I'm close to 500,000 subscribers on YouTube so far.

I checked my phone and it was a message from Ali

Heyy I'm staying at Nash's tonite see you tomorrow

Again? but oh well. This gave me some time so I decided to go back to my birth givers house and collect some things i forgot to move into the apartment.

I got in my car and drove parking around the corner so I was unseen.

I walked to the window seeing a jacket which means she must be home so I had to take the window.

---------------------------------------

The bags were full with my clothes and I threw them out I the window.

As I was about the climb out the door swung open.

"what the hell are you doing in my house?" her voice rang

"getting what is mine"

"don't you dare give me that attitude, young lady I have no idea where you have been"

"well I have a life now mother, I live somewhere else, I get paid"

"paid for what, being a prostitute? you look like one anyway. Wouldn't be surprised"

"me a prostitute?! you had men home every night"

"oh shut up, your probably at the strip club every night, you worthless child - I can't believe I ever had a child like you"

"can't believe I had a mother like you" I sqeak

she came right close to my face and I could smell the alcohol on her breath

"I wish it was you that died in the accident not your father, everyone would be happier if you died, in fact why don't I help you" Ouch.

I cowered with fear, I was strong but my mother was stronger and I was frozen to my spot. in a daze I didn't see the glass vase being thrown at me but luckily I dodged it, this time a beer bottle was thrown, the beast screaming swear words at me.

then I felt the glass of a vodka bottle being thrown at my face, the glass feeling like prickles on a cactus. I made a run for the window and jumped down not before I heard her say

"if i see you here again I will kill you"

I stumbled down the road feeling glass in my head. I don't know how far I ran until I sunk down against a brick wall

I fumbled for my phone and dialled Ali repeatedly - but she didn't pick up.

3 missed calls

6 missed calls

14 missed calls to Ali
and she didn't pick up, neither did Nash.

I had gotten Shawn's number that day I met him and I called him and he picked up right away

"Shawn"

"Hailee are you ok?"

"My mum, she...I...I just need Ali do you know where she is?"

"I think she went on a date with Nash, what happened Hailee are you hurt"

"I...I"

"Hailee where are you?"

My breaths picked up and my vision went fuzzy as I gripped the phone tighter, my chest was closing up and my head pounding

"On Debondd Road, near the petrol station"

"Hold on Im coming I think Cameron is near there"

Cameron

"no I...shawn it's happening again - you have to put the thingy in my arm" I cried

"Hailee just hold on Cameron's coming"

"no I can't, Shawn"

I couldn't breathe, the sounds becoming distant

---------------------------------------

Cameron's POV

Hailee is hurt Cameron, she's near the station, can you go see her. I'm calling an ambulance

This is the text I receive from Shawn

God that stupid girl, what has she done now, I hope she got raped again.

Reluctantly I tell Matt who freaks out and runs outside. I hear sirens and I run after him.

Looking side to side I eventually see a small figure hiddled up against the wall covered in blood.

Oh shit Hailee, why did I say that u wished she got raped?

I huddle in front of her as she is a mess, face covered in blood and pieces of glass, one large part in her head blood dripping onto her face

"Hailee, Hailee what happened" I say as she is talking into the phone, probably with Shawn

"I can't Shawn, Ali she has it"
she stutters barely able to speak

I take the phone and tell Shawn I have her as he tells me he is on his way.

I touch Haille's arms and pull her up, but she is somewhere else.

"Hailee it's ok what happened?"

"dude do you really think she can speak right now?" Matt says his voice cracking- he doesn't do well in these
situations
I look at Hailee, she looks battered and lifeless.

I help her to the Ambulance that has now arrived and all the other boys have now arrived.

She screams and cries

I look at her face as it goes blank and she collapsed to the ground in my hands
