Explaining Abby - Ashley Jordan (best novels of all time TXT) 📗

All stories have a beginning

Hi, I am Abby. My full name is Abby Darling. Yes, Elementary sucked with my last name. So I am five foot five. I have red hair to my hips. I am pretty much going to tell you my story. Advice to go by, life sucks. Here’s why.

 

So this is me. I am the quite girl, who doesn't say a word. I keep my mouth shut and try not to talk to people. So if I am trying to let someone in before I enter I use the gesture. I got picked on all the time in elementary, so I never talk so they can't bully me or mess with me. They don't see me because I am practically invisible. I went to my first party three months ago. So I guess I will tell you the story up to today. The girls said to go upstairs, to see the view. The house had this gorgeous balcony. In the back yard they had this pool, hemic and lovely decorations. Well, next thing I know I am getting tossed off the balcony and into the pool. 

 

Now, for some of you it seems like a normal party. Like it would be funny. Yes, well try being me. So you’re thrown into a pool, and you can't swim. At this point life sucked. I went to the bottom. I tried to swim I couldn't reach the top. In fact I was still at the bottom. I could feel myself crying in the pool. I felt like I was suffocating. I couldn't swim, and of course that’s what’s going to kill me. Of all things the fact that I can't swim, is what kills me.

 

I felt someone’s hand going around my waist. We were going toward the surface. I was going to live I might just make it to see age fourteen. I get to see my sister again, and my parents. Life felt good till we hit surface. I realized during all my praises I was trying to breathe water. I felt stupid. So when we hit surface, I was bent over coughing up what felt was half the pool water. I heard every one whispering, and gasping. I then heard someone get out of the pool after me. I looked. 

 

Then I saw the person who had just saved my life. I thought to myself and just couldn't believe who saved my life. The most popular guy in the ninth grade. The most popular guy in ninth grade saved me, I couldn't believe it. I was well me. He was well you know him. I then realized the people were whispering about how he was a hero and saved some kid. I may not be popular, but I can still eavesdrop.

 

Then off course the guy walks over and says "Hi, are you ok?" It took me a few seconds to realize he was surprisingly talking to me. "Yes, thank you for saving me life." I said half coughing up water. He looked at someone in the distance. I realized he was trying to look for someone. Who would want to talk with me? I am just a pesky kid as some people say. I am........ 

 

My thoughts were interrupted. "My name's Dan. what's yours?" I stood up straight hoping I was done coughing up water. "I'm Abby." Dan looked at my leg. "Oh, god, did that happen when you got thrown in the pool?" I looked at my leg. I had a cut on my leg. It was from mid-thigh to my ankle. "I guess I didn't have it before the party.

 

My older sister Alyssa then emerged from the crowd. She is by the way the most beautiful girl I know. She is about five foot eight. She has green eyes and blond hair, with natural red high lights. "Abb’s are you ok?" I looked at her she looked so scared. I love how much she cares for me. "Yes, I'm fine. Dan saved my life." I gestured to him. She turned to him as he’s saying, "It was not a problem." Alyssa Smiled at him and said "Thank you" She sounded so relieved. I mean if it was her thrown in a pool. I would be crying tears of joy! She just goes thanks. I feel so loved!

 

Alyssa had me say goodbye to Dan and walked me back in the house of the party. She had me sit on the couch and rapped my injury. “Where are the girls that tossed you in the pool?" I looked around and pointed to them. She gestured for me to stay there. Alyssa walked over to them. I knew what was coming up and it felt pretty good having my sister.

 

She is so protective. I love her for this. I don't know what I would do without her. She is my best friend. She's Always there for me. She's just amazing. How could I ever live without such an awesome sister? Alyssa's strong, protective, and beautiful. 

 

She tapped them on the shoulder and they just turned around took one look at her, and then turned back around. She grabbed them by their arms and forced them to face her. Their jaws were practically dropped to the floor. “How dare you touch us?” This chick that looked as if she were a queen told Alyssa. “How dare I?! How dare I?! You threw my little sister off a balcony and into a pool! She can’t swim, she could have died! If anything it’s how dare you! Are you Crazy?” The girls looked as if they were going to hit Alyssa. “Well, if you think we’re going to listen to you then you’re wrong.” They smiled as if they actually accomplished something, which they did. Being the stupidest person I have ever seen to try to talk to my sister like that. Piece of advice don’t mess with my sister, she gets well, violent. The girl that hadn’t said a word yet then tried to punch my sister. Big, no huge mistake! My sister wrapped her hand around the girl’s throat and pushed her back against the wall. She slowly started raising the girl toward the ceiling. The girl looked horrified. Alyssa might as well have fires in her eyes. The other chick got a brain and decided to run for dear life. Alyssa still had the other girl against the wall, and feet of the floor. She got nose to nose with this girl and tightened her hand around her throat. “If you ever do something stupid like this again you and your friend will find yourselves in this position you’re in right now! Which is pretty close to death, got it?!” The girl nodded really fast in terror. When Alyssa put her down the girl booked it away from her.

 

Then Alyssa walked back over to me. “Ready to go home?” She asked with a smile on her face. I chuckled. “Yes, my leg is killing me!” Alyssa got to my side with the cut leg. She walked me out and all the way home.

 

When we entered the door our parents looked at us, then quickly to my leg. "What happened Abby?" I answered sarcastically. "Nothin much, I only got tossed off a balcony and into a pool, by to other girls." My parent’s mouth's dropped open. "You got thrown off a balcony!" My mom screamed. "Then into a pool." I responded. My mom then glared at me. "Stop acting like this is ok Abby!" My mom sounded extremely annoyed. "I'm fine!" My dad then said something. "Abby those girls did the just walk away or did you say something?" I was about to shake my head no when the phone rang. 

 

"Hello." I heard muffling sounds on the other end. "She did what?" My dad looked at Alyssa. Then more muffles. "Yes I will talk to her. Good-bye now." My dad shook his head and sighed. "Alyssa, you wrapped your hand around the girl’s throats? Then did what exactly?" Alyssa sighed, "I told them to leave Abby alone or they will find themselves in this position again, I only had my hand around one girl’s throat." I finished what we both were thinking. "The other chick got smart and left before Alyssa could." We all burst out laughing. "Alyssa I'll let this slide, but next time you’re going to be grounded. I know you’re trying to protect Abby." Alyssa smiled at Me.; I then smiled back at her. "Now go to bed." My dad said, half laughing. We chimed together "Night."

 

After the fact

So it is saturday, the day after the party. I felt exausted. I ached on the whole right side of my body. I blame the injury on my right leg. I forced myself out of bed. I went down stairs. With every step I felt like I was going to calapse. It hurt so much. It felt like someone was pushing on my leg. 

 

I got down stairs no one else was up yet. I felt so tired  I sat on the couch. I felt like falling over. I was exausted. I goy back up and headed to the kitchen. I got some breakfast and I drank some milk. I tried to go to the couch, but I was aching even more. Then again I am me. If I want to go to the couch I will.So I tried to. I got in the living room, when Alyysa came in she was at my side in an instant catching me before I could fall to the floor. She walked me to the couch, and sat next to me. "you shouldn't be walking around. You got cut pretty bad. Thats why mom and dad are taking you to the hospital today. Just try to stay off your feet. We don't know how much blood you lost." Alyssa stood upp and headed toward the kitchen. Then the phone rang.

 

Alyssa answered it. She was whispering to the person onthe phone. I couldn't reach the phone in the living room to eavesdrop. When I finally could Alyssa was already off the phone. "So who was it?" Alyssa turned on the T.V. "Who was what?" I let out a sigh of annoyance. "Who was on the phone?" Alyssa still looking at the T.V. said, " Just a friend." I knew she was hidding something just not sure what. She usually tells me everything. The phon calls had started A week before that party. Which she avoided telling me why she was at a ninth grade party. 

 

My parents entered the living room. "Good morning girls, how are you?" My mom said just like every saturday. Then in response just like every saturday, "Good." We said. Alyssa went to her room after that. She looked so upset. I couldn't figure out why. I went to follow her, but my parents stopped me. " Where do you think your going?" My dad asked. "I'm headed to my room." Lie. If I told them they would say stay out of her buisness. "You are to stay off your
