Update *-* you're welcome lovelies!!!

I wiped my eyes, remembering yesterday. I walked up to my mirror, scanning my body. I wasn't very skinny, but I wasn't fat either. I looked at the rats nest I call my hair and sigh. I walked to the bathroom and turned the shower on, the hot mist sprinkling my face.

After I got out I wrapped my towel around my body and peeked out into the hall, I ran all the way to my bedroom, making sure not to fall, I walked to my closet and grabbed a pair of red skinny jeans, a white button up shirt, and a pair of suspenders. I grabbed my undergarments and got dressed (picture of outfit on side!!!)  I blow dried my hair and curled it pulling it to the side and slid on a pair of shoes. And plugged in my ear phones and walked outside.

I'm not sure where I'm going, maybe to the book store, then to the park. Yeah that sounds great! I walked to the book store, it was only three blocks away, and since I don't have a car I have gotten used to walking every where. I opened the door, pulling out my head phones and greeting the person at the front. I walked around, passing all of the books I've already read until I saw one that caught my eye. The fault in our stars (sorry I know every one has pretty much read the book but it was the last book I read CX) it was about a girl named Hazel who falls in love with a boy named Augustus and they both have cancer. I quickly skimmed through the pages and went up to the front desk. "How much for this one?" I asked with a polite smile. "Ten dollars" the old lady smiled. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a twenty. She handed me my change and I walked outside and stopped at a near by Allsups. I walked in and grabbed a lemon peace tea, I paid for it and started to the park.

I was walking and enjoying my music, Lego house by Ed Sheeran blasted through my ear buds. I took a sip of my peace tea and then suddenly bumped into someone, spilling my tea all over them. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to... Honestly, holy crap, your jacket..." I freaked out, until I looked at who I spilled tea on. It was no other than Keith. I suddenly freaked out even more. "Oh my god... Uhm please, I'm sorry" I started to walk away but was stopped. "It's fine, honestly." He said with a smirk. Holy poop! He talked to me. "Starr right?" He asked. "Y-yeah," I mumbled.

"You're the smart girl aren't you?" He said, trying to start a conversation. I turned around and looked at him. "Yeah I guess." He smiled. "Be careful next time" he walked away. I stood there shocked. He just talked to me. I spilled tea on him, he walked away. I shrugged it off and walked to the park and sat down on the bench and pulled out my book. I started reading it. A couple hours later it started getting dark. I sighed and got up, putting my book in my bag. I started walking home, which is in the bad part of town. I sped up my pace whenever I saw a couple of guys in an alley smoking. Then I heard a cat call.

Crap! I walked even faster. Shhh calm down Starr nothing's going to happen to you. I said to my self. "Damn cotton candy, slow down." I heard one of the guys say. I freaked out and started running. "Get her!" I heard a guy say to another. Why does this happen to me!! I took a quick turn but with my luck it was a dead end. I started to feel tears burn in my eyes. I'm going to die. One of the guys started walking closer to me. That's when ever I freaked out. "Get away from me!" I whispered. He just laughed. "Shut up" he growled. "Please... Don't do this" I whimpered. Apparently that was funny cause he laughed. I shivered at his cold laughs. Then he pushed me over. He climbed on top of me making my scream in fear. I struggled to get him off, but it was no use. He was fat.

I took a deep breath and screamed. I yelled for help. I screamed as loud as I could. But no one could hear. Or no one cared. Just as I started to give up the man was knocked out cold. I had tears flooding my eyes. some one crouched down next to me "Shhhh it's okay. He's not going to touch you," I heard someone say. I looked up to see bright blue eyes staring into mine. I knew those eyes. "Starr?" A familiar voice spoke. I hugged him instantly. He hugged me back softly, as I cried into his chest. Keith, I always thought he was the bad boy, the kid who didn't care about anything but himself. But he just saved me.

He helped me up after a moment and then looked at me with a hint of confusion. "Why are you out here?" He asked softly. "I-i was at the park... And I needed to get home... And they just-" I was cut off by a sob. I was crying again. He picked me up and put me in his car, he started driving. "What's your address?" He asked. I told him my address and slowly fell asleep. I was woken up by being lifted up. I looked at the boy carrying me a buried my face in his chest. He looked down at me and sighed. He knocked on the door and no one answered. I knew no one would, "just walk in..." I mumbled. He did as told and walked to my bedroom, after I guided him there. He set me on my bed and then looked at me. "I'm sorry Starr." He whispered. I hiccupped As he started to walk away. But I stopped him. I don't know why, but I wanted him to stay. "Please stay" I begged. He looked at me sadly and laid next to me.

That night, is when my whole life changed.
