She's Wild

Chapter 8: I won't be like you

Chapter 8: I won't be like you

^^^ Evan at the top ;)

Poke.

Poke.

Poke.

"What do you want?!?!?!" I yell loudly, the whole class turns around and stares at me and Evan. Evan smirks and leans back in his seat with accomplishment, he would not stop poking me but once somebody notices he quits?! I've been getting better with guys, I mean it's not as bad as last year. I used to scream and hide whenever I saw a guy. Now I've learned to control myself, kinda. I still hyperventilate and shake but at least I don't scream, unless they cross my personal bubble.

My whole life, I was a nice down to earth girl, now I'm horrifying. I glare at everyone and ignore them, I'm just like my father...

"No, I'm not like him." I whisper in fear.

But I am, I'm just like my father. He abused my mom for the longest time. What if I'm like that? What if when I'm older, and I'll be just like him?

Then I realize.

Everyone looks at me, the way I look at my father.

And that terrifies me. I'm just like him.

Fighting back the truth, I push the thought away and hide my emotions with a blank face. "Not like who?" Evan whispers and stares at me weirdly.

"Shut up." I snap and instantly regret it, see? I'm just like him.

School went by in a blur and soon I was sitting on my bed trying to keep it all together. "I'm just so scared." I sigh as the tears stream down my face.

"I'm just like him!" I scream and throw anything I could reach across the room. I have a long story, it's filled with pain and heartbreak. I'm so cold because that's the only way I could block myself from hurting others. Yet I was destroying myself in the process, I'm broken.

All I can say right now is that my father was abusive to my mother, domestic violence. It scarred me. But soon money got tight and now here I am, in the foster program.

I tug on the roots of my hair and sob heavily, I had hope. Hope for a better future, but I'll never get it. Why is it always stormy weather? The pain keeps getting worse and it never stops. How is this fair? Everyone else is living life happily and I'm here stuck in my room as I try to keep it all together. It's not fair how some people have it all and some try to make it by with as much strength that they own.

I sob and try to my hardest to breathe in air, but it's as if my lungs has shut down. My throat closes up as my head pounds.

"I won't be like you." I whisper referring to my dad, instantly I jump up and rush out the door. I run into town and reach an old bridge next to an alley. Moss covers the old stone bridge and the sun starts to set. I stand on the stone railing and breathe in deeply. I look down at the beautiful lake filled with hard rocks and dead leaves.

Jump.

I take on last big breath and leap forward, "Stop!" I hear as strong arms wrap around my waist, pulling me back against a hard chest. I start crying into the unknown's chest and grip his shirt.

"WHY'D YOU SAVE ME?!" I scream and punch the stranger's chest repeatedly and sob harder. Once I look up, my throat tightens and my eyes grow wide.

"E-Evan?"

Evan's POV

I poke Wild's side repeatedly trying to get a reaction out of her, soon it comes and she yells out loudly "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?!?!" I chuckle as the class stares at us weirdly. Soon class ends and the end of the day comes.

"Hey man we're going skinny dipping today with Ash." Erick informs me once I reach my little group. We're the bad boys of the school, me, Erick, and Ryan. Ryan nods beside Erick and flashes a smile.

"Cool man, meet me in the alley though. The shipment for the drugs came in yesterday and I'm meeting the dealer there after school." I say, we all agree and I drive down to the alley.

I climb off my motor bike and meet my dealer behind a trash bin in the old abandoned alley.

"Hey man, got the drugs?" I ask him, he nods and pulls them out.

"100 bucks dude." He coughs out, I pay him and stuff the drugs in my pocket. Right when I'm about to climb back onto the motor bike I notice a girl with wavy brown hair standing on the edge of the bridge.

Dang.

Smirking, I walk up to the girl but soon realize that's not just a random girl, that's Wild. The stubborn nerd.

She sobs hard and steps on the railing. Once she jumps over the bridge I leap forward and wrap my arms around her waist, sparks fly through me from the contact but I ignore it.

It's just cold.

She falls back into my chest and starts crying, she grips my shirt and punches my chest repeatedly.

"WHY'D YOU SAVE ME?!?!" She screams loudly and punches me harder. Finally she looks away and her cute blue eyes grow wide, wait, cute?

"E-Evan?" She chokes.

"I told you suicide isn't the answer." I mutter and hold her shoulders so she steadies herself.

"Why do you always appear at these times? Why can't you just leave me alone?!" Wild screams as she shakes with fear.

Right, she's scared of men.

"Because, Wild you need help. Life is a gift, you shouldn't take it for granted. Some lives end too soon." I choke out as I remember her.

"It's a horrible gift." Wild whispers.

"No, it's not." I say sternly.

Before you ask, I'm not whipped. But I've had a bad past, usually I cover it up with a hard stone face. But then Wild came, I know she's depressed, it's quite obvious. I could care less what she does, but if it has something to do with a life at risk, I mean, who wouldn't help?

"You know nothing." Wild whispers, I take a step closer and she starts breathing heavily, she shakes with fear and backs away.

"I won't hurt you." I whisper taking a step closer, Wild is now shaking violently as her wide grow as wide as saucers.

She's so beautiful, no, she's just a random girl.

"Y-Yes, you w-will." Wild blinks rapidly as she tries to rid her forming tears.

"No, I won't. I don't fight girls." I add a wink to the end, trying to clear some tension. It didn't work because Wild wasn't fazed by it, her long wavy brown hair was now pulled up into a messy bun, tears were streaming down and all I wanted to do was wipe them away, a thin coat of sweat covered her skin as she continued to shake violently.

"St-Stay away." Wild mutters and runs away.
