allison woke up sunday morning, happy. they say when you wake up, you forget everything. until reality bombards you. that was something allison hated. reality. it crushes dreams, holds people back, and keeps them from being happy. that's what kept happening to her.

ashton didn't wake up sunday morning.

he hadn't slept in days. he was too scared his father would come in and beat him like times before. he lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering how his life could've been, if he had a different family. again, reality held him back.

at noon that sunday, allison drove down to see her brother. she went through the normal routine, and sat down to see jason. he let out a sigh and sat down. she picked up the phone and he did the same.

"how have you been?"

"what do you think im in jail."

"oh."

"sorry I'm just sick of this fucking place."

"it's fine, i get it."

"so how have you been?"

"fine."

"how have you really been?"

"it's getting worse."

"just stay strong, for me, okay?"

"i'll try."

"okay, just remember i care."

and with that the guards took him away. allison would never believe he killed jen. jen and jason used to date. he broke her heart, not the other way around. it just didn't make sense. i guess people would believe anything.

ashton crawled out of bed and grabbed his phone and his wallet. he sprinted/limped out the house and down the street. thank god his dad didn't hear him. he made his way down to the book store. ashton liked to get lost in books. it made him forget about his own horrid life.

allison went back home and looked at the clock. only 9:31. she walked into the kitchen and made herself a bowl of cereal. she knew her dad was probably passed out on the couch, and her mom was probably upstairs staring at the walls again. allison pretty much did everything around the house. she cooked, cleaned, went grocery shopping, and did the laundry. and everything came out of her own wallet. she gobbled down her cereal and heard a thump. she took a deep breath, shut her eyes tight, and hoped for the best, expecting the worst.

ashton picked out a book, and went to pay. $8.47. he pulled out his wallet, to find he had enough. he pulled out a 10, and handed it to the woman. she handed him his book and he muttered a thank you and ran off. he ran to luke's house.

allison opened one eye to see her father standing in front of her. she opened the other and held her breath. he groaned and allison took out the pain killers from the cabinet. she knew he was hungover, this was her normal routine. he glared at her and washed the pills down with tap water.

"get the fuck out of here before you get hurt." her dad yelled.

she hurried upstairs and brushed her teeth. she went into her room and brushed her hair. she got dressed, in a nirvana tshirt and light wash ripped skinny jeans. she took a deep breath at the mirror and let out a big sigh. she just broke down.

ashton stared at luke's door for a couple minutes before knocking. luke opened the door, knowing who it was without checking. ashton walked in, thanking luke for helping him for the past couple of years.

"no problem, i'll do everything i can to get you out of that house."

allison counted her flaws every time she saw herself. no one saw her the way she saw herself. and because of this illusion, she took out her blade. she rolled up her sleeves, and let it slide across her wrist. she kept crying as the warm blood ran down her arm.

ashton and luke were watching tv, when there was a knock on the door. luke got up to see who it was. he opened the door, to find calum standing their. he let him in, and didn't need an explanation.

calum's family wasn't the nicest either. his dad was in jail, and his mom did nothing and always had an emotionless look on her face. but luckily calum knew how to manage himself on his own.

allison ran water to wash off the blood, and rolled her sleeve back down. she ran down the stairs through the door before her father could question. where she went, she didn't know. did she care, she didn't give a fuck.
