You are Confined Only by the Walls you Build

Alaska,
I stepped back as he touched me again. "Please just stay there Kolton. Please don't touch me," I panicked as I stared at him. "I'm fine. There's nothing wrong." I said as tears brimmed my eyes. "I just really need to go home."

[lauren.]

Kolton,
My hands instantly locked to my side. "Alaska,"I said softly,"I'm worried about you,"I said and this only just made the worry more. I glanced over aat Tessa to make sure she was okay. I couldn't let Alaska just slip from my fingertips once more. "Please,"I begged.

Alaska,
I stared at him, my mind getting the idea that he wasn't going to hurt me. I loosened up slightly, but I wasn't about to let loose. "Can I talk to you later tonight? Can we meet somewhere alone Kolton?" I asked, chewing on my cheek.

[lauren.]

Kolton,
I breathed in deeply, surprised,"Absolutely, anywhere you want,"I said quickly as I took a step towards her. My heart was pounding, pounding that there was hope.

Alaska,
I tensed slightly as he took a step forward, but I stayed where I was. "The old studio. Nine o'clock," I said softly, "but please just don't bring anything or wear a belt or anything metal." I choked out. I was risking so much.

[lauren.]

Kolton,
I frowned,"A belt or metal?"I asked completely lost. I closed my eyes then opened them to look at her,"Okay, I won't,"I said as I took in her posture,"Nine o'clock at the old studio,"I said nodding my head.

[haileyjordan]

Alaska,
I nodded back slightly, "Okay Kolton." I said softly. "Goodbye." I looked at him once more before I hurried off, my heart pounding. I can't believe I just did that. I hadn't talked to anyone in months. I only cried out in pain as my dad beat and whipped me. That's all I was ever able to do.

[lauren.]

Kolton,
I watched as she pretty much fled from me. Why did she have those marks? Was it her father? Was it Cody? I ran a hand down my face as I breathed in deeply. At least she agreed to see me again, to talk. I looked over at Tessa as I pulled my cell phone out to call Carrie to babysit for the night.

Skipping!

Alaska,
I arrived slightly early, to mentally prepare myself. I got out of the car and unlocked the door. I walked in and turned on the lights. It had been a long time since I've been in here. My heart sank slightly, but I was always too sore and hurt to even try and dance. I was in sweats and my jacket, being covered up again. It made me feel safe.

[lauren.]

Kolton,
I had gotten Carrie and Tessa settled for the night and now I was in my car driving to the studio. I was nervous but I was so happy. It felt as if she had dropped off the planet and somehow she has come back from the dead. I wanted her back, especially safely in my arms to where whoever is beating her can't do it anymore. I pulled up to the studio, turning my car off. Be cool and calm. Don't touch her, she flinches when you do. I checked to make sure I wasn't wearing any metal or a belt.

Alaska,
I ran my hand through my hair, sliding down onto the floor as I shut my eyes. I had missed being here. I rested against the wall, but whimpered as my gashes instantly burned. Why was I doing this? Because I needed to talk to someone, that's why.

[lauren.]

Kolton,
I made my way up to our studio we had shared. I knocked on the door before I entered just to warn her. "Alaska?"I called into the darkness. I could see a figure on the ground against the wall,"Are you okay?"I asked as I walked slowly towards her.

[haileyjordan]

Alaska,
I looked over at him, "Honestly? No. I'm not okay at all," I said quietly as I looked down at my legs. "I've never been worse." My throat became dry, I found it hard to speak.

[lauren.]

Kolton,
I frowned as I felt my heart break. I sat down in front of her, wanting to comfort her but knew better of it at the moment,"Talk to me,"I said swallowing hard. "I want to know everything,"I said breaking my rule and gently touching her knee.

[haileyjordan]

Alaska,
I tensed up but relaxed soon after, telling myself he wasn't going to hurt me. I stared at him, "My dad became so furious with me for going against his will he began to beat me. He told me that I needed to learn a lesson and that I deserved to be punished. He's beaten me to the point where I can't even move, and my sheets are stained with blood. I can't do anything about it. He beats me with anything he gets his hands on, but mainly a belt. Kolton, I'm so sore. I'm terrified as hell, and I can't handle it anymore." I said as tears began to fall down my cheeks.
