I slipped on my black dress and it was so beautiful!
Po rubbed my legs, happily purring.

"It's lovely isn't it?" I asked Po, as I rubbed her head.

She answered with a "mew".

"Honey let's go! It's time to meet you fiancé!" screamed my mom from the living room.

Mom, I swear this dress better be worth it.

I found Margarett in my living room with a very inappropriate dress.

"Mom! Why is she here!? And with that thing on!?" I said while making a disgusted face.
"Well dear, ummm.. Why don't you put this jacket on?"
"Why only put a jacket on? How about we wrap her up and send her back to where she belongs?"

Margarett gave me an ugly look and I just returned it.

"Aishalyn, hurry up! You are going to make us late!"

My mom was already inside the Carter's house talking to the maid. She led us to the dining room and when I entered the dining room, I was surprised to see Haylie.

"Haylie?"
"Aishalyn?"

Everybody in the room was surprised to see that we knew each other except Margarett. She was just staring at her nails and she looked as if she was so fascinated by them.

"O my gosh! You're the girl who is going to marry my brother? I KNEW YOUR NAME SOUNDS SO FAMILIAR!"

She hugged me with a big smile plastered on her face.

"Now we're going to be in-laws! biggrin DD"

I was still in shock, okay let me get this straight my friend is my sister-in-law, then..

"Wait who's your brother?"

As if right on cue a boy came down the room and bowed.

"I apologize that I am late and I hope I haven't missed anything important."

Eep! O.O <---yup that was my facial expression. It's that jerkface, who kept bothering me! What's his name again??? A… Achoo? Lol no. A… Ashes? Noo… Ashton!!!! NOOO!!! God please tell me that my mind is playing with me!

He smiled at me happily, as I smiled a fake smile. Margarett however had a different expression, she looked upset.

Weird? Not at all.

"Ashton?" I finally said.

He arched his eyebrow.

"I'm impressed you remembered my name and might I add, you look lovely this evening Ms. Diaz."

"Please call her Aishalyn." my mom stated.

This world is such a small place! O how much would I love to choke him with his tie > smile muahaha.. It's a good plan; that way if he's dead I don't have to marry him^^ Too bad I can get arrested for it.

I woke up to find new clothes and a driver waiting for me. I entered my school and of course I was so nervous! After all it's a new school and I don't know anybody here except my cousin. Speaking of the devil, I spotted her. I quickly walked in the other direction and being the klutz I am, I bumped into a couple making out sad

"Hey! Watch it!" screamed the girl.

The boy just gave me a smile and I quickly walked away.

Geez, I already embarrassed myself when I stepped into this school! Ok now I'll just find my locker. Hmmmmm….. Wait! Here we go!

As I was putting some things into my locker, I felt someone watching me. I looked to my right and there was a boy next to my locker.

"Ummm… Can you please stop looking at me?"
"Haha… Sorry it's just because you're so beautiful and I would be honored if I kissed you wink "

Hey! This is the guy who was kissing that girl I bumped into! That jerk! I slammed my locker and left him or so I thought.

"Hey! You know you could've just said no! By the way I'm Ashton."

I didn't look at him but instead I tried to walk faster.

"Here's another tip, when someone tells you their name, you tell them yours."

He smiled an adorable smile.

Awww… He doesn't seem so bad! Gah! What am I thinking??? He's poisoning my brain!

"I gotta go." I said irritatedly.

Before he could open his big mouth of his, I rushed into my class. It was soon lunch time and I was pretty much alone. So I decided to go eat my lunch outside. While I was eating, a shadow hovered above me. I looked stared down at my food, afraid to look up.

Please don't hurt me! Please don't hurt me!

"Hi! Do you mind if take a seat next to you?"

Yay!^^ she isn't a bully!

"Sure."
"You're new here right???" I nodded.
"My name is Haylie, I'm actually 13 years old."
"13? Woah! You must be real smart! O yeah! My name is Aishalyn smile "
"Aishalyn? That name sounds familiar…"
"Really?"
"Yeah.."

*ring*

"Well, we better get to class!"
"Bye Aishalyn! I'll see you around."
"Bye, Haylie!"

School was soon over and it was time to meet my fiancé. Well at least I made a friend today^____^

I now live at my fiancé's guesthouse and it was pretty huge for a guesthouse. The strange thing was that my mom decided to invite my cousin over, she is about my age and I hate her-___- She steals all the guys, in other words, Margarett is a slut! Well I was arranged to marry some rich guy, so my mother and I can survive but I haven't met him.

"So when do we get to meet him?" said Margarett excitedly.
"Tomorrow night, right after school." said my mom.
"Great, after my first day of hell I get to meet my o so wonderful husband. Yippee! Why do I have to marry this guy? I'd rather be a nun." I said.

Margarett snickered and I shot her a glare.

"Aishalyn, do you think Brad would like to see you live the rest of your life old and alone?" my mom asked.

Ouch that hurt.

"Good, so you'll wear this black dress tomorrow at dinner."

I stared at it and I have to admit that it was amazing! My mother left me with Margarett, eep! Help me!!!

"So you don't mind if I take your fiancé?"
"Whatever, I don't plan on marrying someone I don't love."
"You don't need to worry about love because no one would love you!"

She turned and her long hair slapped my face! crying

"See you at school tomorrow, cuz! "

And she finally left.

I sat on my bed and petted my cat, Po. She was a gift from my fiancé's family.


"If love makes people go crazy, like slut girl, or influences people to kill others, then I don't plan on loving anyone… especially after what has happened to me."

I sat there on the sands of the beach thinking about my brother. He died a month ago.

*flashback (a month ago)*

I woke up in the middle of the night and heard a loud crack. I tiptoed out my room and entered my living room. There I saw my stepdad who was drunk, my brother (Brad), and my boyfriend (Danny).

"WHAT WERE YOU DOING WITH THAT GIRL!?!?"

I heard Brad screamed at Danny.

"I was just having some fun!" said Danny

I'm guessing he got drunk too.

"YOU S*N OF A B*TCH! HOW ABOUT MY SISTER!?" screamed Brad.
"Brad, the boy was just having some fun," said my stepdad
"Yeah fun f*cking with every girl!" said Brad.

I silently started to cry.

"Hey Danny! You want to something fun?" said my stepdad while ignoring my brother.
"Sure" said Danny smiled evilly.

My stepdad handed Danny a match.

"Here. Drop the match over there." said my stepdad.

He dropped it on a liquid and a sudden burst of flames spreaded all over the house. I screamed.

uh-oh blown cover.

"Aishalyn! How are you babe?" said Danny drunkenly.
"Danny get the h*ll away from her!" said Brad.

Danny took the opportunity to punch Brad.

"Brad!!!!" I screamed while the flames grew larger.
"Aishalyn! Get out of the house now and call mom once you get out!"

I saw my stepdad join into the fight.

"But Brad.."
"No, get out now!"

I ran out of the house and collapsed once I got out. When I woke up, I was in a white room and the tv was on.

*news report*

"Last night Diaz's home was set on fire by George McCaan. It seems that Danny Toshiro, George McCain and Brad Diaz have died in this tragic fire. We have one survivor, Ashley Diaz and..."

I turned of the TV.

Brad... he was always there for me... He helped me with so many problems. He would catch me every time I fell but I feel so responsible for his death. Yet there is this feeling deep inside of me that I can't seem to get rid of is the fact that I still loved Danny. He was my first boyfriend and I've liked him for a long time even though we just got together. Brad said Danny would be trouble but I didn't listen. WHY DIDN'T LISTEN!?!?! I took awat my brother's life! He was the only person who knew other than me that my stepdad was an alcoholic and is very abusive.

Brad always tried to take the blows for me but now he's gone. I should've saved him!

*Flashback ended*

Now I'm in Hawaii because my mother decided that we needed to start a new life. I picked a hibiscus and stared out into the ocean. The flower blew out of my hand and gently land on the water. I watched it drift away into the ocean.

I wonder if I could ever love someone again...
