"Alessandra, 당신 have two 분 to get down here!" Dad shouted from downstairs. I quickly pulled on my ratty old converse, not bothering to tie them. I ran downstairs, probably just making it to the two 분 mark. Dad folded his arms, probably upset that I'd made it in time.
"You're going to be late," he said. "You'd better get your 나귀, 엉덩이 out of here." I grabbed my bag off the chair, and grabbed a 캔디 bar from the pantry. Just as I got out the door, he grabbed a fistful of my hair, yanking it back. I yelped as my head jerked backwards, and I fell back into the house.
"Go say goodbye to your mother," he said hostilely. He unclenched his hand from my long dark hair, and I ran upstairs. The door was closed, but I let myself in anyways. Mom was laying in bed, with the covers wrapped around her head like a hood. She doesn't like it when Dad yells. I bent down and kissed her forehead.
"I'm leaving now Mom, ok?" I told her. She nodded her head slowly. I patted the comforter assuringly then left.

I cursed under my breath when I got to school. Bryant, my exboyfriend was there with his new girlfriend, and my now exbest friend, Aubrey. That may seem kind of harsh; and maybe I wouldn't be so 쓴, 쓰라린 about it if Bryant hadn't cheated on me with her. And now that they both ditched me, today was bound to be another lonely day.
I pulled my 후드 over my head and stood near the trees, out of sight from Bryant and Aubrey. I don't mind being alone, it's just when people call 당신 "a loner" does it bother me. Soon, but not soon enough, did the 벨 ring and everyone was let inside.
The morning and most of the afternoon went 의해 slowly and painfully. In English class, I was stuck doing a project 의해 myself, because my only other option was Bryant. Because of my stubborness, he got to work in a group of three.
Even though I was starving, I dreaded lunch coming. Once again, I was left all alone, sitting at an empty lunch table. I heard the laughs and giggles, and even saw a few pointing fingers. Like this morning, I pulled my 후드 over my head and focused intensely on my lunch. Soon later I 로스트 my appetite and poked the green beans with my spork.
About a half 시간 later, I felt the bench underneath me 옮기기 a little, like someone was there. I looked up to my side, and saw a guy sitting there. He looked at me, and he looked a little mad, 또는 maybe confused. He was a little large, but not fat. He just seemed very tall and had a broad build. He had brown wavy hair, that almost covered his eyes. He wore a purple and 라임 green hoodie, with baggy blue jeans. He had on a black beanie.
"Hi," he smiled. I furrowed my eyebrows and didn't return the smile. His smile faded and his expression became confused. "Why're 당신 sittin' here 의해 yourself?"
"'Cause..." I said, guarded. He laughed and held out his hand.
"I'm Micah." I stared at his hand and slowly reached out and shook it. "And 당신 are...?" he prompted.
"Uhh... I'm Alessandra... but my 프렌즈 call me Alessa." He smirked.
"Well, am I your friend?" he asked. I frowned. I knew it; he was just another jerk that went around trying to befriend the "emo" kid. This happened a lot, but it hadn't in a while. Kids would always go up to me and ask me if I needed a friend, 또는 if I was sad 또는 something. I wanted to 펀치 them in the face. The lunch 벨 rang and I stood up to leave. Micah stood up in front of me. He raised his hand to his head and scratched it. However, I didn't know that was what he was doing, and I flinched back.
"Well, do 당신 mind if I 가입하기 당신 tomorrow for lunch?" he asked. I walked around him.
"Be my guest," I muttered.

I got home, and was greeted 의해 my always-joyful father. He started screaming at me, because this morning I hadn't had time to do the dishes.
"...you lazy, ungrateful little bitch!..." he continued on. I stood there, unemotional and took it. I saw Mom in the kitchen, looking at me worriedly. "...You're just like your mother!" he shouted. My attention snapped back to him, and my blank face grew pissed. I clenched my teeth and fists. He continued on saying how we were both selfish, useless, incompetant, worthless, and anything else he could come up with.
Then I did something I never thought I'd do.
Unthinkinngly, my right fist pulled back, and then snapped foreward, hitting Dad in the jaw. I had to reach up a little, because I actually am like my mom in the height department. Still, it was enough to make him stumble back a little. Even though it was probably just because he was off guard.
"Don't talk about Mom like that!" I shouted.
I regretted it as soon as I did it though.
He punched me back, hitting me in the mouth. My lip sliced open from being shoved into my teeth, and the blood flowed easily. He shoved me back against the wall, and my headed collided with the wall. Black spots started clouding my vision, and I laid there on the floor trying to make my head stop spinning.
"You watch your mouth, girl!" Dad shouted at me. I squeezed my eyes shut as he turned on Mom and yelled at her for teaching me to back talk. After fifteen 분 of ranting, he stormed out to the 차고 for a cigarette. Mom came over, and bent down 다음 to me.
"Alessa, are 당신 ok?" she asked. I stood up and headed upstairs, almost running into the 벽 on my way up.
"I'm fine," I told her. I went to my room, and closed the door behind me. I stood there in my room, and clenched and unclenched my fist, which was actually a little sore. I heard the 차고 door slam, and Dad's heavy shoes stomping back into the house. I ran back to my door and locked the door. Then I bolted the lock I had installed myself. And the other one. And the other one between those ones.
I heard his steps come to the 초 floor, and he jiggled the door handle. I ran to my 침대 and curled up with my pillow.
"Alessa! 당신 open the door right now!" he shouted. He banged on the door again and again, the door frame trembling against his blows. I cried myself to sleep that night as his blows grew 더 많이 tired.

Please 코멘트 and tell me what 당신 think! :)
You’re the reason why
I have to lie
Why I hurt so much
That my heart’s in a clutch
I’m slowly dying
‘Cause of your lying
당신 used to be my magic
But now you’re a dick
당신 made me long to be
Everything that wasn’t Lee
But look where that got me
Locked in without a key
If only 당신 knew
That I plummeted deeper than blue
But then again
You’re just another two timing has been
당신 ran away
Thinking it’d be okay
But 당신 were wrong
더 많이 so than any 사랑 song
당신 made me want to sing
With 당신 following
But look at how wrong I was
Believing 당신 that it was just “buzz”
Now you’re the reason why
I cannot do anything but cry
I have to lie
Why I hurt so much
That my heart’s in a clutch
I’m slowly dying
‘Cause of your lying
당신 used to be my magic
But now you’re a dick
당신 made me long to be
Everything that wasn’t Lee
But look where that got me
Locked in without a key
If only 당신 knew
That I plummeted deeper than blue
But then again
You’re just another two timing has been

Believing 당신 that it was just “buzz”
Now you’re the reason why
