Alone

Chapter 7

I was in English class, Jason moved his seat, but I still got dirty glares. Class started, I was zoning out time from time. Until the vibrate from my phone startled me, I took my phone out without getting caught. It was from an unknown user.

- You're not good at anything, do the world a favor and just kill yourself already!! FREAK!

I exited out of the message and went back in because it didn't seem to be true. I decided to text Alex, he needed to know.

Alex- I'm in english class and just got this horrible text! meet me outside after school? please?:(

I waited the rest of the day for him to reply and he didn't. So at the end of the day I waited over by the cars for him. I paced back and forth waiting, until he finally showed up. 

"What's wrong Bandit?" He said walking with a faster pace.

"I don't know what to do."

He took me into his arms,"Tell me." 

"I got this unknown text saying that I should do the world a favor and just kill myself."

He shooked his head," That's terrible, I'll do whatever I can to protect you." 

"But what about your girlfriend?"

"Forget about her!"

"Didn't you see what she did to me this morning?"

"Half of it honestly, what did she say?"

"She said that if I don't stay away from you, I'll be sorry."

"That's right Bandit," Clarissa with her nose held high," Thought you'd listen to me!"

She took a hold of the back of my shirt and tugged me backwards. I fell to the ground, she got on top of me and started to punch repeatedly. My face was dripping with blood and had stained my favorite shirt. The one grandma got me for Christmas last year. She had me pinned down so I couldn't hit back, a circle formed and people started yelling "fight fight fight" Alex came in and pulled her off. She buried her face into his chest crying. He pushed her off to the side and helped me up.

"Come on lets go," He whispered in my ear. 

The anger on Clarissa's face got worse when she saw him walking off with me. He walked with me all the way to my house and made sure I got in okay. I went up to my room and he followed. I got a washcloth and started wiping the dried blood off my face. 

"I should go away, I don't want to be here anymore," I cried.

"No, no don't say that."

"Its true, I can't take it anymore." I said,"This is probably the last day you'll see me."

Had everything starting to come together in my mind, I know where I wanted to go and when. I layed there in his arms crying and then he kissed me on the forehead. When he did this I got butterflies in my stomach, it was good feeling. I didn't want him to leave, I wanted him to stay there with me forever. Hoping everything will get better.
