Music Is Me

<Chapter 5>

I really didn't want to go to school today but I went anyway. I'm still upset about my father,but life happens. We're all gonna die anyway.

I was walking to school when Elizabeth pounced in me. "I told you to stay away from Cole yesterday!" She raised her voice. "Not today Elizabeth." I said. She punched me hard making me fall to the ground and she stepped over me.

"No! I specifically told you to stay.away.from.him. and what happens?! YOUR IN A MUSIC ROOM WITH MY MAN ALONE!" She yelled. "Wheres your proof?" I asked calmly. She took out her phone and showed a video of us in the music room. 'Some one spied on us!!' I thought. "If you don't want your ass kicked a suggest you stay away from him!" She threatened. "You can beat me all you want Elizabeth...just know I won't listen to you at all." I said getting up. She punched my stomach, making me yelp in pain. "You better watch what your saying Illison!" She gritted her teeth. "Why....should I...listen...to you?!" I asked trying to catch some air. she slapped me hard. "You need to learn your place in this world,twerp! You belong lower that dirt while I am above kings and queens! You respect me!" She demanded. "Bite me." I taunted. She punched me again,this time with the hand that had a ring. It cut my right cheek and blood started pouring. I screamed in pain at the deep cut it made. "Let that be a lesson!" She warned coldly and shoved me before she kicked me with all her power. Elizabeth walked away leaving me brused on the sidewalk. I got up and continued walking to school.

My face and cut stung, my arms bruised, my back hurting from that fall, and my stomach hurts. I opened the door and walked straight to the bathroom but stopped when I heard someone calling me.

"Alli!" Cole called. "Alli,what happened?! Your face,its cut and your arms! Your covered in dirt." He said in a worried tone as he looked me over. "Its fine. Elizabeth-" I was cut off "what did she do to you?!" He asked gripping the side of my shoulders. "She punched my face and stomach,she also slapped me and cut my face with her ring. She shoved me on the sidewalk and kicked me." I answered.

"Follow me." He said and led the way. I did as I was told and followed him. We stopped at a locker that I'm guessing was his. He opened it and took out some aid stuff. "Its OK Cole, I can handle myself." I said. "Please Allison?" He said looking at me. "OK." I gave in. He put some kind liquid on a cotton ball and held it. "This is gonna sting a bit." He warned and placed it on my cheek. I hissed in pain. He quickly took it off but slowly put it back on. He started wiping the dirt of with a wet napkin he got from the bathroom. I dozed off a bit but popped back to reality when he spoke.

"Allison. This wasn't a kitchen accident. Was it?" He asked looking at the cuts I made. "He took off the bandages?! God damn it!' I told myself. "Um,well,I uh.....no." I said looking down. "Why would you hurt yourself?" He asked. "I-i was- its just- I got really upset and I couldn't handle it anymore so...I cut myself." I confessed. He put new bandages on my arm and held my hand. "Please don't hurt yourself like that anymore." He begged. I looked into his wonderful night blue eyes.

I noticed people staring at us...the one I saw mainly was Elizabeth death glaring me. I pulled my hand away. "Well,thank you for taking care of me but I think I should be going now." I said nervously. "But I'm not done." He said. "I'm gonna be late to class....hurry up and finish." I said. He put a band-aid on my cheek and patted my head. "Done." He said with a little smile. "Thanks Cole." I said thankfuly. "Anytime Alli!" He said. "Well,I gotta get to class. See ya." I waved bye. "See ya." He waved back.
