Stop The Pain

Other Times

Now that Alianna is dating a celebrity, she's continuously followed by reporters wondering about her new boyfriend. I would more than often follow her around town without her knowledge.

The closer I get to her is all I needed, I just want to know that she is happy and not hurting.

I would see her and her boyfriend arguing constantly and his forced smile for the cameras as he yanked her arm or scold her for attempting to even look at another person

I growled at the thought of her being reduced to trash. Each time I see her, it's like a piece of happiness is gone.

I took a deep breath, slowly following behind Alianna as she strolled through the park by herself. She's barely paid attention to her surroundings otherwise she would have known I was following her.

I've told myself countless times that I couldn't keep this up and that I needed to end this, but I just have to need to be near her always.

I watched as she began climbing up a large and high tree "I didn't know she got over her fear of height," I continue to watch in amazement as she made her way to the top

An old lady walking her dog strolled down the sidewalk stared in horror at Alianna as she stared down at everyone

"GET OUT OFF THAT TREE BEFORE YOU FALL," She yelled in a grouchy voice

I couldn't see very well, but Alianna leaned forward and fell from the tall branch.

I watched as people stood around her, laughing at her misfortune. She sat up, holding her head which was covered in blood.

I pushed past everyone as they slowly dispersed from the scene, "ALIANNA ARE YOU OKAY," I screamed

She made a soft frown, wincing from the slightest movements she made

"Sawyer, I'm fine, I don't need your help,"

I took out a rag I carry in my bag and pressed it gently against her forehead to stop the bleeding.

"I think we need to take you to a hospital," Alianna shook her head profusely

"I told you, I'm fine," She quickly stood up, leaning forward and landing on my chest

I gazed down at her, the soft features of her skin grew more cold and hard

'She needs to stay with me'

That phrase was the only thing that stayed in my mind. I held her by the waist; it confused her to stop and notice.

"Like I said, I'm taking you to the hospital," I said

I lead her by the waist to my car, slowly helping her in. "I need you to stay awake okay, just in case you have a concussion," I set her in the seatbelt and slammed the door behind me

I quickly got into the driver's seat and began driving to the nearest hospital.

"Tell me a story to keep yourself talking," I mumbled

Alianna glared at me, mumbling various curses under her breathe "There once was a guy who broke a girl's heart a few days before their wedding," I gripped the steering wheel tightly

"He left her miserable, broken, and alone while he continued to sleep with the whore that she cheated on her with,"

I stopped the car and pulled over to the side of the road, "I'm sorry. I fucked up and I wished I could take everything back,"

"You can't Sawyer, it's not something that I can't take lightly," I remained silent, pulling out of the dead lot that I forced us in

"I bet you do all the stuff we use too," She mumbled under breath.

I looked at her; she doesn't know Carly doesn't even compare to her. I looked down at her hand resting on the armrest; I put my hand on hers gently.

She didn't look in my direction nor pulled her hand away. I smiled at the little hope I had that she still loved me.
