Louis POV

She was so beautiful. Only one look made me wonder. She smiled at me, I smiled back. The look in her eyes made me want to know her. She was weird and I knew it, but I liked it somehow. The girl had been moved in here for a weeks. Everytime I hear her door open, I look through a crack in my door just to get a glimpse of her. It was strange. I wasn't ever this drawn to a person. A couple days ago I wanted to knock on her door and welcome her, but I chickened out. I could hear her in the middle of the night sometimes. I never knew what she was saying, it was only murmurs and mumbles. I knew she didn't live with anyone. She was the only person that came in and out of the apartment.

I was pretty sure she had gotten a job at the library. I remember on tuesday she left and then came back with a bag in her hand. The bag said, 'Greensburg Library house'. I was sure the employees only had those bags. I had gotten some books from there once. But they now sit somewhere in my apartment with a pile of dust surrounding it; im not a reader. But when she came back she went in her apartment, replaying it the next day.

I wonder what she dose in there all alone. Why dose she live alone? What's her name? Where is her family? I wanted to know for some reason, I just want to know what she's like. Man Im weird. Why do I care so much? I honestly don't know. She was different from the girls I met. She look kind, sweet, and she was just so beautiful. I swear she glows of beauty.

Right now I was laying in my bed, thinking. I didn't know what time it was. I was hoping I would hear that girl again. I knew it was late because the skies where pitch black and the moon was visible. I still couldn't fall asleep. I could be waiting for hours. I just wanted to hear her voice. I know it wasn't clear but, she never talked anyway... I waited and when I almost fell asleep I heard her...

Ember's POV

*Dream*

"Ethen whats wrong?" I quiestioned him. He looked mad. It was worse today, I coulud see anger in his eyes.

"Why are you home so late!" He says standing up, making his tall body appear. He was intimidating. I gulped. He always thought I was up to no good.

"I-" He cut me off.

"Im sick of you excuses!" He yelled making me jump in place.

"Im not lying. I had to finish up the work missing from my vacation. Ethen why-"

"Bull Shit Ember!" he yelled slamming his fist against the wall. I was scared.

"Ethen calm down." I say. I would never cheat on him. Why is he always jumping to conclusions?

"Don't tell me to calm down." He said in a scary voice and gripped my arm tightly.

"I wouldn't lie to you I swear." I squealed.

"Your lying right now! You idiot! Why did I ever fucking marry you! Your worthless!" he spat holding onto my arm harder.

"Y-Your hurting me." I chocked out.

"GOOD!" He said slamming me against the wall hard.

"Stop! Ethen I'll call the police!" I yelled back and tried to wriggle out of his hard grip. I kicked him hard and got out. Once I did I ran to the phone and started dialing the police.

"Ember!" He yelled running at me. He threw the phone at the wall; crashing it into pieces. "I give you everything!" He yelled again. He shoved me into the counter top of the kitchen, making my hip hurt.

"Stop!" I screamed at him.

"Dont yell at me!" he screamed back, instantly throwing his hand back slapping me in the face. My face stung in pain. But he wasn't done with me yet. He hit me thousands of times, blood was everywhere. My screams died down when he threw the last punch making everything go away.....

*End of Dream*

"No!!!!" I screamed jolting awake. I felt my surroundings. I was alone in my apartment. White blankets surrounded me and the night sky gleaming through my window. I panted and wiped my teary face. I had another nightmare.

"It was just a dream." I told myself. But it wasn't just a dream. It once happened. But now that Im all alone, I couldn't get my mind off of that night. I serched for my phone and dialed my moms number, hoping she would answer this time.

'Riiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnggggggggg'.......It ringed for a while and I knew she wasn't going to answer. Even if she knew it was me calling. I chocked out a tear and hung up. No one cares about you ember. Remember? Everyone left you all alone. Remember? Your worthless. YOU HAVE NO ONE!!! My thoughts told me. I covered my head with my pillow wanting my horrible thoughts to run away. I want them to end. But they where right I am all alone, I am worthless. I mean, no one gives a single shit about me. Why am I here? I should have listened to everything people said to me. I should have never married him, never left my family, I should have tried to get into collage, I should die. No one cares.

- THE NEXT DAY-

I had no work today. I wanted to leave this stupid building and do something. I have been pretty lazy the past week. Maybe I could go for a run. I decide to throw on some jogging pants and a v-neck. I found some running shoes and left my apartment. As I shut my door, another opens. I look to my right to see that handsome boy again. He looks at me and smiles.

"Hi." he says nervously "Um, didn't you just move in here?" He asks

"Yea." I say

"Well, welcome. I'm Louis." he introduces himself and takes his hand out for me to shake. I shake his hand.

"Thanks. Nice meeting you. I'm Ember." I introduce awkwardly.

"You too, Ember." he says leaving into his apartment. "Bye."

"yea- bye." I say weirdly. He seemed nice. But so did Ethen. I can't get involved in love right now. I brush my thoughts away and leave the building, starting my run. I run for a while letting my thoughts run free. I was zoinging out for a minute, until I tripped and fell flat on my face. That snapped me out of it. I winced as sat up. My knee sliced open by the pavement. I heard laughs and I looked up. I saw some girls my age looking at me and laughing. I got up and decided my walk was done with. When I got home I cleaned up the cut on my knee. After tending that, I decided to just watch tv the rest of the day. I flipped on my old tv and saw 'How I met your Mother' reruns where on. I watched that until I dozed off to sleep
