I took a really hot shower, I scratched my skin till I wouldn't feel dirty, no luck. I was tired of him, tired of the suffering. But I didn't want him going after my family.

After my shower I put some long sleeves and a short, I decided to go for a walk. I needed to get out. I ended up in a park. I watched as couples were being nice. Parents with their kids.

At least for a while I can forget what just happened at my house. A tear fell down. I hate him so much. I went to grab some ice cream, as I was walking to the ice cream place, I bumped into someone.

"I'm so sorry, I was distracted." I said while picking up his phone.

"Here, just don't hurt me." I said before making a run. He looked so serious and was really tall and fit. After what just happened, I was scared.

--Blaze--

Hurt her? Why would anyone hurt her? Something tells me that girl has been through hell, the look on her eyes was hurt and fear.

Someone really did a number on her. her cheek was really purple. Whoever did that is a coward. You should never lay a hand on a woman.

I hope I cross paths with her again. I went home but I couldn't take the image of her off my mind. There was something about her. And I wanted to help her.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Dad asked.

"Well, I just crossed paths with someone who I'm sure is in need of saving. She had so much pain and fear in her eyes."

"Sounds like she's had it hard."

"I think she has, she had bruise on her cheek and wrist." I sighed.

--Aviana--

I grabbed my ice cream and then the queen bee came to my table.

"Hey, it's loser one." She said, I wasn't paying attention. I was lost in thought.

"Please leave me alone." I whispered.

"Aww, are we feeling sensitive today?" She said as I lift up my head, she was shocked.

"What the hell?"

"I bumped into a door." I said before going back to my ice cream.

"Uh huh, and I'm not queen bee." She rolled her eyes.

"Look, another time you can pick up a fight with me, but today just leave me alone." I sobbed. I was so tired of people wanting to fight me for no reason whatsoever. Then dealing with Justin.

"Look, if you let him keep hitting you, it will end bad, might want to tell someone about it. Catch you later, Cullen." She said before leaving. Well that was new.

I couldn't if I wanted to, he scares me. He wasn't like this at the beginning. He was sweet. Once we got together things changed. After my ice cream I went home.

Once there I went straight to my room and covered my bruise. Hopefully no one questions me.

A few hours went by and my parents and a Mason came home. They saw my cheek and questioned me. So much for that plan.

"I wasn't looking and hit my cheek on the door. I swear doors hate me." I chuckled. They just looked at me weird.

"Well, gotta go, I'm really tired." I said before leaving.

"There's something she's not telling us. And I'm worried about her." Dad said.

"Same, I hope she tells us, but until she's ready we won't pressure her." Mom said as they both nodded.

I won't tell anytime soon, maybe after mom has given birth. I can wait a few more months. Anything to keep my family safe.

Monday came and it was time for school, I did my daily routine and drove to school. Once there I went to my locker, Nelly's minion tried to start drama, but Nelly told her not today. That's still weird.

Oh well, minutes later I was hugged by Michelle. I actually needed that hug.

We went to class, people looked at my bruise. Of course, these people are way too curious.

After class, it was time for English, which is my favorite, I want to become an English teacher. Michelle has another class.

As I was walking there, I bumped into someone. Not again.

"I'm sorry." I said before looking up. It was him. He was very intimidating.

"I- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make your stuff fall, let me help." I said while getting on the floor and grabbed his stuff.

I was about to leave when he said, "Wait, you for-" I didn't let him finished, I ran. Mainly cause I saw Justin glaring at me.

I hope this doesn't bring trouble. Why me though? Sometimes I wish I could dissappear. Go to a place where it's just me and peace. One can only dream.
