"Bad children are punished, Alexis." Her name - the words rotten off his tongue. Her eyes widened as he came closer, his hand diving deep into his pocket, whilst his other firmly held onto the cowering girl.
The girl screamed, but no noise escaped her throat, only the hitched breathing that only seemed to grow louder. There was only the deafening silence, the constant throb in her chest, stabbing deep as his warm breath came closer.
But in that moment there was only her heartbeat, the relentless thump in her chest the only link between reality, and her nightmares. With a blink she no longer was cowering in a musty corner, her face no longer dirtied, the slow trickles of blood stopped falling from her face -she was safe.
There wasn't a single part of this man, that she couldn't forget. But how could she forget? How could she forget, when her scars cut so deep? When in the dark, she could still feel the weight of his revolting body on hers. She may have escaped, but she wasn't free -she was nothing but broken. But like most struggles, no one would notice, her cries and screams were again unheard; a whisper compared to the shrieks and demands of the hateful world.

Except, she's not that typical and he's not that much of a bad boy. *** "If I told you that I care about you, more than anyone in your life does, would you believe me?" He asked me, his jaw clenched. I could tell he was furious. Yet somehow, I wasn't scared of him. "No" I shook my head bravely. "If I told you,'' He tried again, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing.''That you make me so fucking mad, I want to punch a fucking wall. What would you say?" He had me trapped now, my back painfully colliding with the wall behind me. I gasped at the impact, looking up into his icy grey eyes. They were cold, emotionless. As always. "Do it!" I dared him with the last ounce of courage I had left in me. The sound of his fist smashing through the wall right next to my head, made my ears ring for a brief moment. I opened my mouth to speak again, shaking slightly, only for him to pull away and leave me standing there alone. ____ !!Warning!!

My Letter To The Stars
"She deserved it." Alexa cackled as she stood against the wall. Lipstick smeared. "Why?" Kimmy interjected while pulling away from me and wiping her tears that had evidently stained her cheeks.

"I like Corinth , you would never take her place." Caleb wiped away the stains under Corinth's eyes. Some people say its hard to open up, others say you make it difficult all on your own. It stems from lack of trust or trust you simply can't afford to spare after being broken.

The brightest days can burn out and produced the most horrific flames. The prettiest smiles can hide the most cynical and sadistic glares. Laughing is no longer pure it's more sad than anything. "Polaris can you stay by my side." His words come out soft. Almost grazing my skin and erupting my pores. "I can't, not anymore."I swallowed as my eyes felt tense and my breathing slowed down. "Please." His voice goes lower and he staggers a bit. It was clear he had been drinking. But why? "No more Caleb." I shook my head in dismay. "Smile once more, you promised." He reached out to hold my hand but I pull away. "Promises are meant to be broke." Not all stories has a happy ending. Not all who wander are lost.Complete
