It was a pretty crappy morning. My alarm went off at exactly 5:00 like every morning. I got up and got dressed in my usual long sleeves to hide the scars and some jeans with my combat boots folded down. I tried to put on makeup to cover the bruise on my face. I tried not to remember the night before. Him blaming me for the death of my mom then slapping me.
He beat me alot. Sometimes it was just a slap. Other times it was him throwing me to the ground and punching me multiple times. He has been a mess since my mom overdosed and died when I was five. I went and lived with my aunt a few times but he always dragged me back here for some unknown reason. I guess he needed to take his pain away.
I went to school and they called me alot of names. I heard the more recent ones "You little whore." or "Go kill yourself." They were at the top of the list. I get that alot. It hurts coming from my old best friends. But there was someone new in the crowd today. Ive never seen him before. But he wasnt laughing. He wasnt even smiling. I wiped my tears and walked away.
"Hey, wait. Come back." A voice says as somebody grabbed my arm. I kept walking. My their grip got tighter and I was pulled back. He had a grip on my wrist so he was stinging my cuts.
"Ow!" I yelled. "Let go of my wrist!"
Somebody yelled "Yeah she probably cuts herself let go. She isnt worth it anyway."
However he ignored them and out of nowhere I was being dragged to a new place. When we finally stopped he lifted up my sleeves forcefully. Hell no, you do not just drag me to a random spot and then lift up my sleeves!
"Okay, first off who the fuck are you? Why are you pulling up my sleeves when I dont even know who you are?" I started.
"Im Ashon. Im new here. Dont ask why I'm doing this but I know you cut yourself. I know you do." I started crying and this random guy held me through it all. I knew he had secrets too. I knew something was definately wrong if he was here holding me of all people on his first day. Did I mention that its almost second period now?
"Why do they all hate you?" He asked me.
"There was a party at my old boyfriends house and he cheated on me so I called him out on it then he got his friend to say I tried hooking up with him and basically tried raping him. But I didnt. I dont even talk to that guy. I hate him." I said quickly and quietly.
"Thats horrible. Im really sorry." He responds.
"I got to go. We are already late and we are going to get in trouble. Nice meeting you." I said getting up to go to class.
"Then just stay here. I mean honestly do you really want to go in there and face them?"
"I'm used to it. Ill be fine. Thanks anyway." I walked away.
"Can I at least take you somewhere tonight? Ill pick you up after school. Ill take you home. Please?" He begged.
"I dont know. My dad wants me home right after school. Sorry." I looked at the ground. I feel really bad. I mean he actually asked me somewhere and I cant because of my dad.
"Just for tonight. If you really dont like me then Ill leave you alone. Just give me tonight. Please?"
"Fine." I start walking down the street.
"Where are you going?"
"Somewhere other than home." He followed me.
