CYNICAL ( lilly collins)

Trying

Danes idea of our first date was just taking a nice walk and talking. If I were one of the girls I'de probably jump for joy but in my mind he was still just plain old Dane. the guy Ive been friends with since freshman year in highschool, the idiot who used to get in trouble and the jock that listening to my pointless drama. He was an amazing friend.

"How about tomorrow we go on a proper date...a dinner?"

While I was thinking he had managed to open the door to Tanners house and walk into the living room

"Yeah that's fine " I smiled and walked into the living room

Just as we walked in the light came on and Tanner looked at me and Dane sucpicously.

"Where have you too been?" He asked smirking

"Just went on a walk,it's beautiful night" Dane said

Tanner laughed and got up "what? Dane said looking confused

"A beautiful night?" Tanner said laughing and headed towards the stairs "ughh night love birds"

"Were not love bugs" I spat as his figure disappeared but it was late

I started to make my way up the escalator and headed towards my door"ohh...thanks Dane"

"No problem" he said staring at me"it really is beautiful" he smirked

"What?" I said tilting my head

He blinked from his trance and opened his door "nothing goodnight Alva"

"Goodnight"

**

"You stupid bitch" he laughed " you think someone would ever love you"

I felt the tears coming but I forced myself to stand there and take all this hate " fuck you..i hate you!"

"I don't care what you say, it means nothing"

I opened my mouth in shock " your unbelievable"

"Get out of my house I can't date a whore"

"I'm the whore?!"

"Alvar leave now! don't ever come back,ever!"he shouted stepping closer to me

"I thought you loved me? what happened to the guy that loved me?"

"He realized there are better things."he looked at Friends for approval and he smiled vicariously"much better things"

My eyes where throbbing and my hands were shaking without thinking I punched him. it felt good but only until he grabbed my wrist.

"Everybody out now" everyone watching the scene left leaving me alone with the beast

Those hazel eyes were now staring at me like I was nothing and I hated it. he hand found a from grip around my neck and pushed me against he wall

" You think you'll get away with that?" he spat. I clawed my nails into his arm but, he wouldn't budge. I kicked him and he moved back.

"Oweee! you stupid bitch!" he yelled

He came towards me and "Alva..."

"Alva...Alva....Alva!"someone was shaking me"Alva wake up"

I sat up a few tears fell and I noticed it was only Wedge I let out a sigh "god its only you"

"What's wrong, you've been shaking ever since I walked in here to wake you up ?"

I quickly closed my eyes and remembered what I was dreaming about " nothing...just a nightmare"

Wedge didn't buy it but she stood up "morning run in 15,get ready"

**

I think by now I had finally recovered maybe all I needed was a good run to get my blood rushing and brain empty.

Wedge,Tanner and I took the lead while the others breathlessly followed behind. I could feel my sore legs but in a way it motivated me I knew I was burning from the workout and I was in a Zone.

"Okay guys stop, stop!" Alec yelled from behind

We all slowed our pace and stopped" Well never get a decent run with you guys behind us"

"Just-let me catch my breath" Alec said painting and throwing his head down in frustration

"Fine lets just walk to starbucks and call it a day"they all cheered and we made our way over to the starbucks a few blocks down

I was sweaty but not that sweaty. I'm glad I wore decent workout clothes today.A had on some pink nike shorts. A white jacket with a pink nike logo. and some regular running shoes, they were cheap but somehow really comfy. my hair was in a neat ponytail and I had ear buds swinging from my neck.

I didn't want to put on any weight especially after my 7 minute run, thanks to The lazy people.

" Can I have an Evian bottle, just a small bottle and and vanilla cappuccino, extra whip cream please"

"Will that be it?" he said giving me my money back and telling the people in the back my order

"And an straw"The guy just stared at me blankly "are you deaf? " I asked He started to straighten up

"You don't remember me?" he looked kind of upset that I didn't. I examined his name tag..Brandon...Brandon?

I examine his appearance. those hazel eyes stared at me sadly. I was honestly shocked for words. My dream from earlier came back to me and I got angry. I wanted to beat the living mess out of him but I couldn't it would be childish.

"Alva?" a brunettes asked placing m order in front of me

"That's me" I quickly took my things and ran out the door

"Alva!" I opened be door "Alva!"

I ran down he block an ran into an ally lowering my self onto the ground crying. What just happened?
