Final Goodbye

Prologue

"Flashback"

"Dad... Please... D-don't hurt me. Please" I cried while backing away. He came closer and closer and I eventually hit my back against the door.
"I will never be your dad! You are a shame excuse of a daughter!" he yelled in my face making me cry. He smells of alcohol. I tried getting out his grasp. He then slapped me and walked away to the living room.
I ran into my room and closed my door. I felt another panic attack coming so I quickly had some water. I immediately started packing, I grabbed clothes and put them in my bag.

After I packed everything, I quietly went to see where my dad was. He was passed out on the couch, but just to be safe, I grabbed my longboard and snuck out my window.
I had nowhere to go so I decided to go to Cole. On my way there, I saw this bedroom light on. I quickly put my longboard next to the tree by his window and climbed up.
When I reached his window, my face immediately froze and I felt tears growing in my eyes. He's cheating on me.
As soon as he saw me he froze up shocked. He came running to me by the window, "Babe, it's not what it looks like." he said coming closer to me.
"Isn't it always?" I said and slapped him. I climbed down his tree and ran away as fast as I could.

I eventually got tired and sat on a bench. It's the middle of the night and I'm here, sitting on a bench all alone and homeless. I started crying again.
I sat there for about 10 minutes when I heard a car pull up close to me. Someone came out of the car and sat next to me. I couldn't really see who it was because it was dark and the car's headlights shined too brightly.
"Are you okay?" he asked me. This person sounded so gentle and sincere. I shook my head and started crying again. He came closer and just hugged me. Is it weird that I felt so safe in this strangers arms?
We sat there for a while before he spoke up,

"I'm Grayson" he smiled. By now I could see his face. He's beautiful, a perfect jawline, a smile that could be more priceless than diamonds, his beautiful hazel eyes that you could get lost in. I could forever sit and study his face. He then smiled at me and I gave a small smile back.
"Ava" I said. He looked at me confused then understood and gave me a sweet innocent smile.
"Why are you here all alone Ava?" he asked. I froze. I didn't want him to know that I get beaten up by my dad and cheated on by my boyfriend. Well ex-boyfriend. I sighed,
"I got lost" I lied. He didn't seem to believe me but he just shrugged his shoulders.
"This might seem weird but would you like to stay at my house tonight? Then I can help you get back home tomorrow?" he asked with a hint of hope in his voice.
"If it's not too much trouble..." I hesitated.
"Great" he smiled and helped me up. We got into his car and drove off.
