Poisoned Innocence.

Prologue . . .

August was the only person that made me feel so afraid of life. Before then, my life was an open book. I was just an innocent teenager who did the normal teenage things. I made straight Principle's list every semester, and i've never missed a day of school.

You could say I was a goodie-goodie. Whatever you want to call it, it would do. I guess now I know why he chose me instead of any other girl. Because I was the good girl with no intentions of doing any thing bad. He thought I was a challenge, so he chose me. 

I wish i'd never met him. I wish that he would've picked any other girl in the world, instead of me. Not every wish comes true though. Mine came back to sting me in the ass.. 

August was out on the balcony doing what he usually did to soothe his nerves, he was smoking a blunt. I walked out there with my hands behind my back, hoping that he was in a good mood. I called his name out into the complete silence, and watched as he whipped around, then turned back towards the night sky. 

He removed the blunt from his lips for a split second to speak. "Didn't I tell you not to bother me while i'm smoking?" He grumbled, before re-wrapping his thin black lips back around the joint. 

"Yes." I sighed, hanging my head down low. He took another intake, and let it out. "I was just wondering if we had business to attend to tonight?" And by business, i'm sure you know what I meant.

He turned back around to face me with the intimidating look on his face that scared me in so many ways. It was the look that made everyone fear him, mostly me. 

He twisted and twirled the joint around in a glass ashtray, biting down on his lip. He dropped the joint from between his fingers, and took a few steps closer to me. "I'll tell you if we have business to attend to tonight. Don't fucking worry about it." He scowled. 

I jerked my head back at the aroma of his breath. "I was just asking because my mother is having a get together at her house tomorrow. She wants us to come. I was thinking you could take me dress shopping." I rubbed the back of my neck.

He snorted. "Tell her you're not going." 

I sighed, and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. I hated disappointing my mother on important occasions like these. Ever since August came into the picture, I have been very distant with my family and i'm feeling pretty shitty about it. 

"I will." I nodded in disappointment, walking back into the house. 

I hated August so much, that sometimes, I had thoughts of killing myself just to get out of the situation. I plopped down onto the couch and pulled out my phone. The conversation with my mother always consisted of the same words.

I'm sorry... I can't... Maybe next time... 

 I sighed and shoved my phone back into my pocket. I heard the thud of his timberland shoes coming into the room, and I quickly straightened my posture. He plopped down beside me, and as soon as he opened his mouth, I could smell the foulness of his previous blunt. "We do have buisness to handle tonight, so get ready." He demanded, pushing me off the couch. 

I fell to the floor, discreetly scowling at him afterwards as he stuck his blunt back into his mouth. 

I hated this man with a passion.
