~End of chat~

“A.J come out here sweetie.” Mom demanded sweetly. I walked out of my room feeling like something bad was going to happen.
“Yes mom?” I ask, she looked at me. “Alan wanted to get to know you.” She said, turns out Alan and my mother were old friends until my dad came along.

“Well what would u like to know?” I say hiding behind a fake smile. I didn’t want to be mean, I just didn’t care for his presence in my house.
“Well… Are you a virgin?” He asked leaning forward. My eyes go wide and I lean back.
“WOAH! UM. I’m done here!!!!” I yell walking away, and my mom went in front of my room and put her hand out.
“No its just a question, go answer it.” She demanded. I push past her arm.
“Fuck to the no!!! Nobody asks me that!!” I stated. I shut my door in her face and plugged my music into my ears as high as it could go. My mom came in a dragged me out digging her nails into my arm as she did it.

I kept my music in and answered randomly to all the questions.
“Yes… No.. I don’t know.. Why do you care?… Yes.. No. Maybe.” Is all I said until I went back in my room to go to sleep. I had another nightmare, and when I awoke I sat up as quick as possible breathing heavily. I rub my face and look over to the other side of the room and see Alan starring at me.
“Jesus Fuck! What are you doing in my room! Fucking freak!” I yell softly. He walks over to me and puts his hand over my mouth, I punch it over and over trying to get him to take it off. “Shh. Shh. Don’t worry.” He says softly, my eyes get wider and I bite his hand. “Ow you little bitch!” He rants about, I get up and run outside. I didn’t know where to go Dave wasn’t home so I couldn’t go to him, but then I black out again. I see him chasing after me, I come back to myself and run to Andy’s house not knowing what else to do.

I knock hard on the door scared, looking back and forth afraid he found me. Andy finally opens the door and I ran inside.
“Oh my god.. It’s like 1 in the mourning.. Why are you here?” He asked me rubbing his eyes. I blinked and look up at him.
“My mom’s new boyfriend just attempted to rape me… I didn’t know where else to go.” I cried. I was sitting on his floor crying into my hands, Andy comes and sits next to me rubbing my back.
“I’m sorry sweetie. It’s all right I’m here now.” He replied. I look at him and hug him crying on his chest.
“I don’t know what to do..” I say, we heard large knocking at the door and look up scared. “Its him! I know it.” I wiped away my tears and run upstairs as Andy opens the door.
“Yes sir. Is there a reason you’re here?” He asked with a little attitude.
“I’m here for the girl! I know she’s here, her mom wants her home.” He demanded.
“There is no girl here! Why don’t you leave sir.” He commanded. He closed and locked the door, running up to find me.

“A.J… I think you should stay here for the rest of night.. I don’t want you going home to that.” He told me helping me up. We went into his room and I feel asleep on his chest while he held me tight. Even though Andy wasn’t as big as Alan, I felt protected anytime I was near him… Anytime I was near him I felt like I belonged, which I never felt with anyone not even my mother.

I slept soundlessly all night, I didn’t even have a nightmare. I finally woke up to the sun shining on my face instead of my screams. I got up and went home, Andy wasn’t even up yet. I texted him to let him know I left and wasn’t kidnapped. When I got home, mom was sitting on the couch looking out the window. I attempted to sneak off into my room, but she caught me.

“And where were you!?!?! Sneaking off in the middle of the night!” She said angrily. I look at her with a look I’ve only given to people I hate.
“Your fucking boyfriend attempted to rape me!!!! Obviously I didn’t sneak out I ran away from him!” I yell pointing in different directions. My mother got up off the couch and slapped me on the chest.
“Don’t you ever talk like that again!” She demanded, my mother wasn’t right after my father died.. She seem so much different, especially once we moved here.
“Urg, I’m leaving now!” I say walking out of the house, my mom didn’t even attempt to stop me. I get right outside the front door and Alan is coming in, he tries to touch me and I hit him, and because I did that he pushes me down the rest of the stairs. He walks in and I get up, it really hurt but I’ve been trough worse.

I walk to an old dump truck that was for sale, but was never going to be sold and climb to the top part of the dump. I just sit up there and think about what’s happened lately, I almost cry but tried hard not to. Then I got a text scaring me yet again ‘A.J, I want to talk to you.. Can you meet me at my house?’ I smiled and hopped down from the truck.

Once I got to his house, I walked in and didn’t see a anyone. “Hello? Andrew?” I say cautiously walking through every turn of his house. I was beginning to get worried and then began to walk slowly up the stairs. “Andy?! Where are you.?” I was getting pretty aggravated, when I walked past a door, someone grabbed me holding me tight then throwing me gently onto Andy’s bed.
“Jesus. Andy you almost gave me a heart attack!” I said smiling. He was just laughing, “You loved it.” He stated, I just smiled bigger and gave him a hug.

“…So what did you want to tell me?” I asked him sitting back down on his bed. He looked down and sat next to me,
“I don’t know how to tell you…. Well I do I’m just afraid of the response I’ll get it.” He said rubbing his neck. I looked at him and smiled.
“Just tell me, I won’t think of you any less.” I told him. In fact I couldn’t think of him any less even if I wanted to. He smiled at me, and looked me straight in the eyes.
“A.J I like you…. A lot more than just a friend.” He looked down again scared for my response. I took my hand and put it under his chin to lift his head back up, I kissed him gently and smiled.
“Well I love ya, hun.” He gave me a hug. I frowned thinking that I might have to go soon.. So I just decided to ask him.
“Andrew… I was wondering if I could stay here with you? I really don’t like it at my house…” I asked. He just looked at me, “Of course you can. I love having you here.” He smiled sweetly and it took my breath away every time.
“Thank you sooo much… Be right back.” I said, he looked at me.
“Well where are you going?” He asked nicely. I looked at him, “Well I need to get some clothes.” I giggled. He got up and took my hand.
“I’m not letting you do that alone. I’m coming with you.” We walked to my house and went inside. I tried being quite as possible going into my room.

We made it to my room and I grabbed some clothes, my make-up bag, and my ipod. Then when we were about to leave my mom spotted us.
“And where to you think your going?” She said. I looked back at her…
“..I. I’m going to spend a few nights at Andrew’s house..” I said. She looked at me.
“Um no your not. I’m not letting you go out an be a whore!” She commented.
“I’m not!! I’m going over to my boyfriend’s house to get away from you and your god damn boyfriend!” I yelled. Alan walked out of my mom’s room and looked at me.
“I think you should stay.. I like having a daughter.” He argued. I rolled my eyes at the thought.
“No! I hate having a father! And now I HATE having parents in general.” I yelling going out of the house.


We ran to his house and shut the door, luckily he only lived a few minutes away .
“Ha ha that was fun.” he smiled sarcastically, we wasted our whole day just talking and having fun. At around 11 at night we were in Andy’s room playing patty cake looking like fools, and we heard a giant crash outside his house.
“Jesus… We should go check that out.” I say, He looked at me and nodded. We get up and walk down stairs slowly, I grab his hand while we walk into the kitchen. We didn’t see a thing, there was nothing there at all. It was just me and Andy there because his mother left some where and had been gone for 2 months.

He smiled at me and started putting his shoes on, “Come on.. I want to show you something,” You think he would be scared a little, but he wasn’t his mind had already shifted and he was thinking about something else. I put my shoes on and took his hand, we walked to the park and just played on the stuff like little kids.

We were laughing and having fun, then we begun to play tag in the dark. I ran after Andy then once I caught him we fell to the ground and starred at the stars. I lied down on his chest and held his hand and we shut our eyes. I fell asleep and when I woke up I was on the back of a
