Why me?

||Chapter 4||

Autumn's P.O.V.

___________________________

When I walk in all I see is Jack G. looking through the cabinets, for I assume, the things to help 'clean me up' as Liz put it. He dosent notice me walk in so I decide to scare him. I creep up behind him and stand on my tip toes to reach his ear before whispering

"Boo." he jumps and I start laughing, but pain shoots through me as I laugh.

"I hate you."

"Oh you love me." I smile sitting on the counter.

"Only about this much." he holds up his hand and shows a circle size of a dime.

"Whatever."

"Let's get you cleaned up." I nod as he walks over counter with a bunch of first-aid stuff.

"Where's Liz and Jack?"

"They went to buy band aids and alcohol wipes. You only had just enough for now, but you know Liz , always wants to have everything prepared." I nod in response as he finishes cleaning a cut on my lip. I can't say it didn't hurt like a bitch.

After I got cleaned up I went to my room to take a shower. I quickly strip and get in the shower. I finish shaving and washing my hair. I get out and wrap my towel around my body.

I blow dry my hair and put it in a ponytail. I have classes around 1:00pm today. It's only 11:00 right now. I really don't want to go , considering what happened last night. But I don't want my brother paying for my classes for nothing. I put on my dark grey acid washed shorts, with a California republic muscle tee. I pull my black vans on, and my black frame raybans.

"Liz?!" I shout, walking out of my room.

"Yeah." she pops her head out of the kitchen.

"Do you wanna go with me for a drive?"

"Why?"

"So we can.." I look around to make sure no one could hear.

"Talk?" I finish.

"Oh, A, I'm really sorry I have to get to class." she gives me a sorrowful look.

"It's fine, I'm just gonna go to that park across the street."

"Be careful, call me , Jack , the other Jack, or even cameron , if you need anything." I nod my head. There Is no way in hell that I would call the jackass.

I walk to my car and get in. The park's only about 5 minutes away, so I get there in no time. Once I get there I walk over to a bench hidden by a few trees , I found when I first moved here. I usually come here to think.

I wonder what Dylan is doing. Dylan was my guy best friend, but I had to leave him to come here. I can't say I don't miss him, cause that would be one of the biggest lies I've ever told. I miss him like crazy. And no, he is not gay.

My thoughts are interrupted by a presence next to me. I turn and see a guy maybe 19,20 ,covered in tattoos and piercings. I'm used to that , but really makes him unique is his intensifying blue eyes, almost bluer then the ocean. If that's even possible.

"What's a beautiful girl doing here alone?"

"I don't see anyone by that description." I chuckle. He smiles, before going to seriousness.

"Well I'm talking to her, she has lilac hair, has a British accent, and she is sitting right next to me. Ring a bell?" He smiles and I do to.

"But really , what are you doing here alone?"

"I should be asking you the same."

"I was bored, your turn."

"I just needed to think ."

"Well what better way to let out your secrets , other then telling them to a complete stranger that you most likely May never see again?" I contimplate if I should tell him. I sigh , knowing he had a point.

So I tell him. I tell him everything , from the gang to being raped daily, to being beaten last night.

He stares at me with wide eyes.

He reaches over and wipes away the tears, that I didn't even notice.

"Sorry." I try to wipe my tears away.

"It's okay to cry once in a while, hell I cried last night."

"Why were you crying last night."

"You can't tell anyone."

"I won't, I promise."

He takes a deep breathe.

"I cried last night because....because I was watching the notebook." I look at him to see his cheeks burning from embarrassment. I try to hold my laughter in but I no longer can and soon the quiet park is filled with my laughter.

"It's not even that funny."

"P-please tell me that your girlfriend or sister made you watch it." I say in-between laughs.

"Yeah well just go with that." he mumbles.

"What's your name anyways?" I ask

"Nash, yours?"

"Autumn, so Nash let's get to know each other yeah?"

"Beautiful name, sure what would like to know?"

"Hmmm, best friends?

"Yeah , Cameron Dallas."
