Chapter 2- Running

                                Running     

                              chapter two:

I gather my items, stuffing them as fast, but as quietly as I can. I see him sleeping there, I look over and the alarm clock, the green lights shine bright making the numbers blurry, 3:32 am. I have to go.

 Leaving him was hard, his words of hurt kept run though my head.

I don’t know where I’m going I only have Megan here, and that’s the only friend I have, I haven’t seen her in 2 years.

I’m here standing on her door step, and I start reputedly start knocking on her door, finally, she opens the door with a tired look on her face, she looks up at me, the color from her face drains as she looks at me.

“Whats wrong, is everything ok Ali?”

“No, I left john, and i need some where to stay.”

“Come on in Ali.”

I took off my jacket, only to have on a t-shirt, revaluing all the bruise, and hurting he did to me that I hidden for so long from everyone.

“Ali did john do this to you?” She asked as she took my hand in her’s.

“yes” I said as a tear fell down my face.

 “you’re staying with me in till we can find somewhere safe, but just so you know you’re not the only person that’s staying with me.”

“Did you find Mr.Right?” i said with a cheeky grin trying to lighten the mood a little.

 “no, not even close....” she didn’t get to finish sentence before someone interrupted our little chat.  

“Megan is every thing ok, who's here?” an unfamiliar males voice.

A tall man came out from around the corner, he messed his brown hair up more, and he started to rub the tiredness out of his eyes, then our eyes met.

“this is Alli and Alli, this is Harry my cousin that needs to find a job”.

  “Well its very nice to met you Harry”

“the pleasures all mine” he said in return. Which made me grin like a idot, and blush like mad.

“Harry, Alli is going to be staying with us for a while” Megan said.

 “Awesome, well see you tomorrow, I’m going back to bed.” he said walking away backwards keeping his eye on me the whole time with a grin in till he left the room.

“Are you going to be ok Alli?”

“Yeah I’ll be all right” i tried to give her a reassuring smile, but completely failed.   

“Well Alli, you can crash any where you would like the coach the guess bedroom anywhere” she said as she handed me blankets, and pillows.

“Good-night Alli”.

“Good-night Megan and thank you for everything.”

“Anytime” she said with a tired smile.

As I laid there, I thought about what I was going to do next,

where I was  going, who I was I going to stay with. Then his face flashed in my mind, his face looked mad, angry, upset.

“Alli!” A mans Voice said loudly, “wheres my beer?”

“coming” I  yell back, I know this place, its... its the house with him, john.

“Here honey” I said handing him the drink. “Is there anything else you need?”

“No I’m fine” he replied.

“Ok” I said walking away.

“Whats wrong” he asked.

“Nothing” I said.

“Alli” he said  getting up.

“Why don’t you sit down with me”

“I have a lot of work to do around the house john, I really

cant.” I said looking down walking away.

 “look at me when I’m talking to you” he said grabbing my left wrist hard, pulling me closer hurting me, again.

I could smell the whiskey and beer and all sorts of other achola on his breath. “john let me go!” I yell. He slapped me hard, I could feel the burning  fill my  face where he hit me.

“I give you every thing!” he yelled over top of my cries for help, I could feel a tear gently fall down my burning check.

Then all of a sudden he threw me down, but I couldn’t feel the floor from beneath me. I’m falling, falling in to darkness... then I’m a wake sitting up in Megan’s living room, with a blanket that I didn’t put on last night.

“Good morning sun shine” Harry says with a smile of kindness, love and hope. “Hi Harry” I said with kindness and

trying not to show him my shaking and trembling hands full of fear. “wheres Megan?” I asked, “at work”, “that’s right” I said with a little chuckle. “She didnt want to wake you” He said as he handed me a plate with a pancake, with a smile face, full of happiness in his syrupy filled eyes.  

“So... Alli how do you know my cousin?” He said taking a bit of his pancake.

“Well, my family and I moved here when I was in the 1st  grade. My first day of school was rough, but then there was Megan the other no one.”  We both giggled, I looked at Mason his eyes sparkled showing laughter, this cant be happening, I’m not falling for him, I can’t.

Harry, Megan and I where all the same age.

 The way Harry looked at me made me feel warm inside, unlike john ever did.

What was really strange was that mason looked at me with kindness not heat, and caring and not anger. I felt safe with him there, I felt no one could touch me, or hurt me anymore.

Harry and I talked for hours it felt like but was only hour or two. I kept getting lost in his green eyes, and his boyish grin. It felt like we knew each other, but we really didn’t, I mean we just met each other like a day ago or last night, I cant be falling for him... can I?

Harry and I sat there, after a while of sitting across from me on the other sofa, he got up and walked over a sat next to me, after awhile after that he put his hand on my knee, he looked into my  

eyes, those green eyes, he leaned in closer almost like he was... no he cant, i cant kiss him, i mean... megans my best friend i cant go around kissing her relatives...

he leaned in closer almost to close, he kept looking down at my lips, his lips where dangerously close to mine, almost touching, at the last second of this moment, i looked away, and turned my head away.

I hope you it guys like it so far :) Harry.... and Ali ;)
