I can't believe I beat her up today. Twice! That stupid thing dad injected into me all those years ago, it's like he doesn't want her to like me or something. Worried she will hurt me because of what his Dad did or he couldn't live with her around. Before I know it I've got her number in my hand, brown from all the years ago she gave it to me, I was going to ask her out that next day but then that night her Dad died and he came home mad and pushed some burning liquid into me, I didn't know what it was or what it did but what I was certain of was I hated Alice Higgins, even despised her and punched her. I fall on the ground crying. Grabbing my phone I punch in her number. Brrrriiiinnnnggg, Brrrriiiinnnnggg, Brrrriiiinnnnggg "Hello?" her soft voice fogging up my head. "Hey, it's James." I hear her freeze then run up a set of stairs, someone's voice in the background. Alex. I'm too late. She should have been mine.
"James, why are you calling?"
"I'm sorry about today."
"Hey, I'm all good." (SHE'S JUST HAD HER SELF COMPLETELY INJURED...NO BIGGY!!!!!)
"No you're not! I could have killed you!!!" I begin wiping the tears away.
I whisper "Go back to 5th of August 2009." I hear her cry. "Remember when you and I were so close?"
"What happened to you?" She whispers.
"You have probably heard differently because only my Dad and I know..." I pause, inhaling. "That night everything changed, for you and me. My Dad came back, I was watching TV (actually I was practicing how to say I love you, will you be mine?) he stormed into the room pulling something out of his pocket and injecting it into my skin. I never knew what it was but all I know is after that I have continually hurt you and never been able to forgive myself."
I hear her crying endlessly on the other side of the phone.
"Th-ank-you." She says between sobs.
"I love you." I whisper
The line is silent
"Ally?"
"Yes, I'm still here." She whispers
I hear someone walk in the room grabbing the phone from her, Alex.
"What do you want with her?! Haven't you hurt her enough?" He shouts.
My body begins to tremble "You love her, don't you?"
"Yes and she's mine. You won't be getting your hands on her again."
"You don't understand!" I scream but the line is already dead.
I still love her.
