to anyone anymore,
it only destroys me at the end."

a: how could i trust you when i don't even know you?
??: i'm johnny, johnny orlando.
he lifts up my chin.
jo: and you are?
a: annie...leblanc.
he's eyes were, breathtaking.
jo: so, annie...tell me please? i'm sure i could help you. people giving you trouble?
a: there isn't anything you could help me with...
jo: please trust me, i won't hurt you.
he gently placed his hand over mine that was resting on top of my thigh.
a: i-i can't
i ran. right out the door. i went straight to the girls bathroom and into a stall. i want help...i need help...but how am i suppose to tell someone that their own father, own blood, hurts and abuses them? i can't...i won't...
i cried and cried until the bell rung for lunch. girls came in and out, checking their hair and makeup. gossiping about boys and about the football game this friday. some even talked about the party that reminded me of hayden when he asked me. the bathroom went silence for a couple seconds, i was still crying. everything hurt, my life was getting worse and all i want is someone to hug and care. johnny did. he really did. but like always, i push them away. i heard a knock that interrupted my thoughts.
??: hello? is someone in there?
i wiped away my tears and got up.
??: are you okay? you could talk to me.
she seemed sincere. i opened the door and acted like nothing happened. the girl wasn't too tall, kind of my height, blondish brownish hair, had the same kind of eyes like johnny and kinda looked like him too just as a girl.
??: are you okay? what's wrong?
she placed her hand on my shoulder.
a: everything's fine, just, bad day *fake smiles*
??: i feel ya, do you want to talk about it?
a: thank you but i'm going to be late to retake a test.
??: oh okay! well my name is lauren, if you ever need someone to talk to i'm always here!
a: i'm annie, thank you. that truly means a lot.
l: see you around?
a: of course *smiles*
i walked out and headed to the same spot as always. under a tree in the front of the school.
johnny's pov:
annie. she was beautiful and so...hurt. i hated seeing her in pain, all bruised up. once she ran out i wanted to go after her but, i didn't. i'm just going to give her time. i don't understand why i feel this way, i'm a 'player' she's...different from any other girl i've been with, well played with i guess.
the bell rang and i headed to my group of friends, also known as the 'popular group' eh normal. i still couldn't get her off my mind, but why? this NEVER happens.
jo: yo
h: hey
c: about time man! discussing the party
jo: not unusual
c: who are you taking?
i should ask annie!
h: he's probably going to find multiple girls there
jo: actually, i'm planning on asking this girl i met today!
h: poor girl! she probably likes you and you'll just end up breaking her heart!
jo: one, i doubt she likes me, we literally just met a couple minutes ago. two, she's different. three, i'm NOT going to break her heart.
h: whatever you say
then the girls arrive
k: hi babe
h: hey
j: hey guys
jo: yo
c: hey jay
jo: where's laur?
j: lolo went to the bathroom, she'll be back.
we talked for a bit and discussed about the party and blah blah blah. then lauren came and sat with us.
jo: hey laur!
l: hey!
j: what took you so long?
l: i made a friend!
jo: who?
