Allison's POV
I walk into school with a headache. My dad came home at 2 in the morning and dragged me out of bed to make him food. When I say drag I mean drag. Then after I made him food he threw it at the wall and told me I was a worthless piece of shit so.
I go to my locker and open up a bottle of aspirin. I take out 2 pills and and pop them into my mouth. I grab my books and shut my locker. I start to head towards my first class when I'm stopped by Ella and her clique. I try to keep walking but she blocks anyway of me leaving. I notice people coming around me so I'm trapped in the circle. I start to feel panic rise in my chest and my heart start to pick up pace. I choke on the lump in my throat as I fear for what's gonna happen next.
"Where you off to slut" Ella says standing with one hand placed on her hip.
"Probably to suck mute boys dick" Some guy yells from the back. Everyone starts to laugh except me. I feel tears start to form in my eyes. I can take the comments about me but Ethan doesn't deserve that.
I look around and see a crowd forming and it just makes my anxiety worse.
"Awe are you scared whore. No ones here to help you. Even your little boyfriend hates you. You should just end it. Imagine how much happier everyone would be" Ella says to me getting closer by every word. She's right. Not like anyone cares about me
I'm ugly
Unloved
Dumb
A whore
I fucking hate me
I want me to end it too
Ella grabs my books and slams them down
"Pick them up bitch" she says before her and her squad laughs and leaves
I grab my books and sit down against the lockers. I start to cry into my hands. Why does everyone hate me so much. What did I do wrong. I don't even know half of the people that hate me.
I hear footsteps but I don't lift my head up. They stop then get faster coming towards me. I get scared and put my hands out crying, afraid that someone came back to hurt me.
The person holds my hand and I look up through my blurry eyes too see Ethan with a sad and scared expression on his face. I see him and I start to cry more. I don't know why but I just couldn't hold it in anymore. He sits down next to me and holds me to his chest. I bury my face into his white t shirt getting it wet from my tears.
I cry until I can't. I sit there in his arms. I look up at him with wet, red eyes.
"Why does everyone hate me so much" I ask him. Searching through his face for an answer. Praying he would have one to tell me.
Instead his face holds an emotion I knew too well. It's the emotion I see when I look in the mirror at night. Or the expression my mom has as she makes coffee in the morning after a night of arguing with my dad.
It was hurt.
Sadness.
It was broken
We sat there for what felt like years. My eyes start to feel heavy as I fall asleep in Ethan's safe grasp
Ethan's POV
My heart breaks for this girl. She didn't deserve any of this. She thinks everyone hates her but that's not true. I don't hate her. I could never hate someone so pure, kind and funny.
How you could you hate an angel?
I hold her as she cries.
I've never seen her so hurt
After a while she stops and looks up at me. Her moss coloured eyes glossy and red. Her cheeks cherry coloured and her chocolate hair a mess.
"Why does everyone hate me so much" her voice cracked as she spoke these words. She was confused and sad.
My heart shattered.
And I didn't know what to do
I give her a sad look that said I don't know and she looked back down. She cried in my arms for over half an hour. I feel her breathing go to normal and her tears no longer flow. I look down and see that she fell asleep. Her eyes puffy and her arms had goosebumps.
I slowly lift her up bridal style and carry her out of the front doors. I open my car and place her down as she snuggles into the leather seat. I put on her belt then I take off my jacket. I place it on her as a blanket and quietly shut the door.
I get into my side and slowly drive to her house, going through back roads to make sure there are no speed bumps.
I get to her house and lift her up again. I walk up to the front door and ring the doorbell knowing if I knock she would wake up.
A woman opens the door and looks at me confused. I smile at Allison's mom and nod my head to indicate I'm gonna put her in the room. Her mom nods and moves to let me get through. I smile and quietly go up the stairs. I head towards Ally's room and place her down on the bed.
I look down as she shuffled around and cuddles with a giant teddy bear she has. I smile and kiss her on the forehead. I place a blanket on her and turn on the record player because I know she likes when it's on.
I'm about to head over to the door but I stop when I hear a small voice whisper
"Can you stay with me"
I look over to see Allison looking at me as her chin rest on the teddy bear.
I smile and walk over to her. I move the teddy bear and get into the bed with her. She crawls over next to me and wraps her leg around my waist. Her small head on my chest as she almost instantly falls asleep.
I fall asleep next to her listening to the sound of her soft breaths and the pretty blue record player.
