Cruel beauty

Alyssa My life was perfect I was not the most popular person in school that was my sister we were 13 months apart I’m 17 and she 18 she would be going to college this year if not for the worst night of my life. Now I’m not into party’s and only went when begged by her I’m less then social but I’d do anything for Cassie. We were at a house a get together maybe 20 so not a lot like I was promised so I was somewhat comfortable it was the beginning of my jr year and I hadn’t gone to a party yet so I decided it would be ok for a small one, boy way I wrong fate has a way of destroying you when you least expect it. To my surprise I didn’t know who was in charge of the party because well I wasn’t invited by the host but when I got there I was in shock that it wasn’t at all the normal jock and cheerleaders and basic crap we normally saw but the thing that shot my blood pressure into overtime was seeing Reed Ashford there I may have had a private crush on him. As long as I can remember he’s been my neighbor but he’s also a bully with a bad boy persona we share a few words in passing going in and out of our houses just a hey how’s it going kind of thing but that’s as much as he talks to me I’m not really his type or in his friends group. Read doesn’t date he has friends if that’s what you call girls that through themselves at him he may have a rep for being a bully and a bad guy but the truth was he looked like sexy on a stick at 6’3” a face like Charlie hunum and build like Thor and I don’t mean he has lean defined abs he is thick and he Does have Abe but he’s just built thinker and I love him. It makes me sick to my stomach to see all the girls around him like he knows how I feel and he’s rubbing them in my face like I’ll never have him. Reed I’m 18 i through a party a small get together at my family cabin I am not popular more infamous some call me a bully, some call me a bad boy, the truth I just don’t give a s**t what people think and I will alway take up for the little guy (I.e. pick on someone your own size) this fact has gotten me in more trouble over the years then I care to admit but it all started in grade school when Clint Johnson was messing with the angle in my life and I do mean angle Alyssa Thatcher has been my next door neighbor for as long as she has been alive our parents are friends and our bedroom windows face each other. When we were kids she was just a girl who loves next to me but when she turned 8 to my 9 something changed she became the angle I couldn’t stop wanting to look at, be around and protect. She has always been shy in groups and never really wanted to be the center of attention, so when Clint decided to pull her hair and push her down and I saw it, my mind went into chaos I was a little boy who had never been so mad in my whole life as seeing Alyssa cry. To avenge Alyssa I got in a fight and I got in trouble for that and have been doing the same for the last 10 years but even if Alyssa doesn’t know I’ve kept her safe from bully’s all this time.
