Welcome to Gaia! ::

Noemi smiled and walked away with him her arm hugging his. "She's such a loser" she said as they did. Alyssa ignored them as they talked and walked off. She didn't look at him when he helped her. "Thanks" she said and took the sand which and getting up. She picked up her bag and started making her way past him and out of the cafeteria. She really didn't want to risk getting a worse beating. She was already in a pretty bad condition as it was.

Alyssa heard the commotion as she left but paid no attention to it. She left and walked eating her sandwich slowly. She didn't pay attention to anyone or say anything as she walked to an empty classroom that they didn't use anymore. She sat down and once she knew she was alone she let it out. She curled up despite the pain and cried. "Daddy where did you go?" She said softly. Ever since he left her life just went downhill. She wanted him back. She wanted him to protect her and love her like he did before. She was in so much pain both physically and emotionally. She usually came here to just let it out refusing to cry at home and refusing to let anyone else see her.

Alyssa sighed looking at the time and wiped her face trying to get herself together again. "You only have to make it to graduation" she told herself and threw away her lunch and grabbed her bag. She sighed staring at the door knowing that once she walks through it she goes back to her hell of a life. She walked out of the room putting her good back on and just wanting to go through the rest of her day. She was afraid to go home. She always was but she had no choice.

Alyssa noticed him smile at her and she had to look around to check who he was looking at. When she looked back he was gone. She shook it off and went straight home to make dinner for her family trying to avoid getting in trouble. She walked home avoiding her sister and other people.

Alyssa jumped hearing her name and she looked at Micheal. Was he following her now? She looked around and shook her head knowing she shouldnt. If anyone saw her she would be in a lot of trouble. "You shouldnt talk to me. Go back to not noticing me like everyone else" she told him and kept walking home. She was grateful that someone wanted to help but she knew it would only make things worse for her rather than help.

Alyssa got home before her parents and started cooking dinner. She made sure to stick it in the oven when she was done so that it would stay warm. She started to work on all the chores since she didnt need to give her stepfather any excuse to beat her again. Noemi got home and leaned against the doorway looking at her. "Dont think that youre some cinderella" she told her. "Micheal wont be prince charming and sweep you away from here" she old her. "I dont know what you're talking about" Alyssa said and continued cleaning. "I saw you two trying to talk I'm sure dad won't be happy about it" she told her. "We werent trying to talk at all Noemi please just dont tell him anything" Alyssa pleaded. "We'll see" she said and walked off to her room.

Alyssa finished the chores and fed everyone. She sat in the corner watching them eat hoping Noemi wouldnt say anything to her step-dad. She waited quietly for them to finish eating. They were almost done and Alyssa relaxed a little since she didnt think Noemi was going to say anything but she was wrong. "I think Alyssa is trying to get close to a guy at school" she said and Alyssa's eyes widened in fear when her step-dad froze at her words. "What?" he said and looked at Alyssa. She shook her head going further into her corner. "N-no I wasn't I swear. He tried talking to me and I told him to leave me alone. I swear please..." she begged him. "You think you can get close to someone. You think someone actually wants to talk to you" he yelled grabbing her roughly by the arms. "N-no sir I dont" she said wincing as he gripped her arm tightly.
