you having fun? Cx
Ally smiled and picked up her bag and headed for the door, as she tapped in her reply into the phone.
But as she stepped out the door , she felt like she had been hit by a brick wall.
S he began to stumble back when she could feel two strong hands grip her arms and stop her from falling.
“I am so sorry,” she heard the words but she was too busy trying to get her bearings to take much noticed.
“It’s was my fault,” she began to apologise but when she looked up, she could feel the blood drain from her body and her heart slam against her chest in fear. “Jason!”
Chapter 5
“Ally!” Jason exclaimed, sounding just as surprised to come face to face with her. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine ,” she said, barely able to get the words out. She pulled her arm from his grasp abruptly and quickly stepped back from him until her back was against the wall.
Her heart was now racing so rapidly in her chest, she thought it was trying to break free from inside her. She tried to focus on her breathing.
“Are you sure you’re okay,” he reached out to touch her but she flinched and she pressed herself closer to the wall. Jason quickly dropped his hand as a look of shame spread across his face. “Oh my God, you’re scared of me. What have I done? I am so sorry.”
“Just, please,” Ally sai d, raising her hands and closing her eyes. “My friends are waiting for me, just let me go.”
“Ally, please,” he begged, as he stepped closer to her. “I am so sorry. I know there is nothing I can ever say to make what I did right but I am so sorry. Please, I know you have moved on and I understand that. But I can’t bear it if you hate me. That night… that… person… that wasn’t me.”
Ally opened her eyes. Looked at him and her eyes locked with the same eye’s that had looked into hers that night and all she could see was sadness.
“Ally, please.” h e said sadly. “I was unwell but I have been… well I have gotten help. I swear I would never hurt you.”
“I just want to go back to my friends,” she managed a whisper but she couldn’t move. She was terrified.
“Okay, he said , stepping back to let her pass. Ally took a deep breath and remaining as close to the wall as she could, so she didn’t have to even touch Jason when she passed him.
“You’re getting married then,” he said from behind her and she stopped. She wanted to run , but she knew she needed to face him once and for all if she was ever going to move past this.
She turned slowly to face him. She looked at him confused as to how he knew she was getting married.
“The veil,” he said, pointing to her head, as if he knew exactly what she was thinking. Ally instinctively reached up and touched the veil on her head. She had completely forgot she was wearing it.
She looked down at her sash and her L-plates, before she looked back up at Jason. “I hope you will be very happy,”
“Thank you,” she managed to force the words out as her fear was slowly turning into anger. Anger at what he had done to her and anger at how he was making her feel right now.
She felt weak and pathetic, something she had fought all her life to avoid feeling.
“He is a very lucky guy,” he said, stepping closer to her, but once again she instinctively stepped back and he stopped.
“Ally, I am not going to hurt you,” he said looking almost hurt. “Please, don’t be afraid of me.”
“You are kidding me, right,” Ally half laughed in disbelief a s anger rose inside her. She stepped forward and stared directly into his eyes. “You won’t hurt me? You tried to rape me. You have no idea what you did to me. But I have moved on and I am not letting you take my happiness. If you want me to tell you you’re forgiven, I am sorry to disappoint you. But I don’t forgive you, I hate you.”
“What the fuck are you doing here?” Caitlin ’s voice came from behind Ally, making her jump with fright. Ally turned around to see
