The Other Side of You

Holly’s POV

My door creaked open, spilling in the light from the hallway. His footsteps tiptoed across my floor and my bed squeaked as he laid next to me. I could smell the beer on his breath as he placed a huge hand over my mouth and his other hand went to my pants. I tried screaming but it was no use, his hand made it impossible, my pants were ripped off. He finished and left leaving me to clean up myself and feeling dirty and used. Silent tears spilled down my face as I laid down and thought abut all of the previous times that he has done this. After my father left 3 years ago and my mother met Chris he has done this every night; I wanted to tell my mother but I couldn’t. The headache from earlier returned as I slowly drifted off to sleep.

In the morning I got up earlier than usual, I didn’t want to sit in the kitchen with them and pretend like everything is okay. My clothes were already folded neatly on my dresser so I just grabbed them and pulled them on, afterwards I ran into the bathroom and began to put on make up. I didn’t need a lot of it on so I just put a little bit of concealer under my eyes and some eyeliner and mascara, to make my blue eyes pop. A smile spread across my face as I looked at my reflection, my perfectly toned legs were in clear view by my shorts and my blue shirt brightened my eyes. My golden blonde hair was straightened perfectly and parted to the side, I smiled again then grabbed my bag and cell phone of its charger. 

My alarm clock went off, noting that it was the normal time that I would be getting up. I ran quietly down the hall and out the door, a sigh escaped my lips as I reached safety past the corner. A cherry red Mustang convertible pulled up in front of me and Cameron my co-captain on the cheerleading squad pulled up, “Hey bestie! You need a ride?”

“Yea mine bailed on me,” I lied quickly. Taking my car would be way too loud and wake them up. I slipped into the passenger seat and we nodded to the music.

“So why are you out so early?” I asked.

“Oh umm well I kinda just left Andy’s house, he didn’t want his mom to catch a girl in his bed,” she explained.

“ooh so your seeing Andy again,” I teased.

“Shut up, its not my fault he is so good in bed,” she replied. “If you weren’t les im sure you would sleep with him too!”

I sighed and leaned against the window, yes i was lesbian. Everyone knew but luckily nobody gave me sh*t about it and I was still able to keep my popularity status, I was content. Other girls asked me out a few times and I did try it but never really let anyone in for too long, you could say that I had trust issues. The only person that I trusted was Cameron and thats because we have been best friends since we were in kindergarden. We pulled into the school parking lot and it was practically empty, she parked up front and we got out.

“Im going to go to my locker and grab something, ill see you in 1st period,” Cameron exclaimed then turned and walked into the nearest hallway. 

I made my way into the science wing and crashed into a girl, her face buried in a book. We fell to the ground and I held my head as she fumbled to pick up her book, we looked at each other quickly. My breathe caught as her grey eyes widened, her pitch black hair was a mess.

“Im so sorry,” she replied taking my hand and helping me up. 

“Its okay, I wasn’t paying attention either,” I replied then noticed we were still holding hands. I was the first to pull away.

“Well you look new here,” I stated after some time.

“Yeah I just moved here from Virginia with my mom, today is my first day,” she replied.

“Oh wow, a big change then. Well welcome to “Sunny California,” I welcomed her. “Oh and my name is Holly.”

“Thanks, mine is Emmalie,” she introduced herself quietly. 

I smiled at her, she really was beautiful and her perfectly plump lips were turned up into a smile as she stared at me. I realized that I had been gawking and looked away, a blush evident on my face. Your going to freak her out, leave her alone. I quickly cleared my throat and looked at her to see her in my face, she leaned forward and kissed me. My body froze, unable to understand what was happening I stayed still, unmoving. She pulled away slowly and looked at me, curiosity on her face.

“What was that for?” I asked, finally finding my voice.

“I just.. umm.. thought t-that you m-might l-like it,” she stuttered.

“Well you were wrong,” I said then turned and ran around the corner. 

I kept running then when I felt that I was far enough I slowed down and pressed myself against the lockers. My fingers reached for my lips and I touched them, the feel of her lips were still tingling. A smile stretched across my face then was replaced by a frown. No you cant get close to anyone, no one is to be trusted. I sighed, then brushed my hair out of my face and walked to my locker. I cant afford to get close to anyone right now, she is unknown. She could hurt me just as easily as he did.

Emmalie’s POV

“Well you were wrong,” she said then ran around the corner. 

I smiled to myself when I discovered that she had lied, when I kissed her she was just shocked. I know she likes me. Students began filing into the hallways one by one, it was still pretty empty which I was grateful for. I pulled my schedule out of my pocket and looked for my first class. Science, great I thought sarcastically.

My feet carried to the designated classroom and I looked at the desks, a lot were still empty but two were filled. In them sat Holly and another girl, jealousy rose in me as I saw that they were smiling and laughing together. Holly must have sensed that I was watching them and turned to meet my eyes, her eyes widened in surprise then narrowed into a glare. Her friend turned to look at me, she looked amused as I stood there watching them awkwardly. 

A shove behind me brought me back to reality, I sat down at the desk in the back and avoided eye contact with everyone. Someone cleared their voice behind me and I turned to meet eyes with a green eyed gothic girl, she was the complete opposite of Holly. 

“Thats my seat,” she said.

“Oh umm i’m sorry,” I said then got up to move.

“Its okay, can I sit next to you though?” she asked quickly.

I smiled then nodded, she sat down and I turned to look at Holly. I watched as she glared at the goth girl next to me, then looked at me and looked away quickly. Hmm two can play at that game.
