Benny's POV
Lately Tyler has been avoiding me and the rest of the guys especially her own brother. At school she seems perfectly normal. She raises her hand, she sits with other people at lunch, but lately I dunno if she wants to hang with us.

"Hey Ty c-can I talk to you?" I said to Tyler one day as I saw her dumping out her trash.

"Um... I guess?" She said awkwardly.

When she said that,that made all of my anger blow.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" I started

She looked startled. "What the fuck do you mean Rodriguez?"

"You've been avoiding me and the guys, you hang out with other people, you ignore your own brother! Don't you know how that can affect the people around you?! "

She scoffed and rolled her eyes and walked away. "I don't need your bullshit anymore Rodriguez I'll see you around. " She mumbled.

I grabbed her arm to stop her. "No we are not done!"

"Benny, let go of me! Now!" She yelled wincing at her wrist.

"Why?! So you can go and mingle with other guys?!"

I saw her sleeve go up a bit. That's when I knew why she's been avoiding us. She's been cutting. I saw red around her sleeve. I pulled it up and she pulled her arm back and ran off.

"Tyler wait!" I said angrily.

She ran all the way till the sandlot. She tripped and fell onto the dirt and it gave me more time to catch up with her.

"Why?" I began.

"You don't know what I've been through...." she said

"My parent constantly beat me and Scotty witnesses but doesn't do shit about it. I started to get the feeling that I wasn't wanted to this takes away the pain!" She got up but i pulled her down.

"LET GO OF ME BENNY YOU'RE HURTING ME!" That's when I felt a sting go across my face. She'd slap me.

"I told you I wanted to be alone..." She said quietly.

She ran off into the direction of her house but turned the other way. I sat there on the vast empty lot thinking about her. I honestly don't know what has happened to Tyler. "Is there something she'd tried to tell me?" I whispered.

I got up and went to my house. I looked at Tyler's house and looked at her window. Everything in there was gone. Bare. Empty. Alone. I ignored it and walked inside my house where In actually wanted.

"Mom I'm home!" I yelled.

No response. "Mom!" I yelled

"What? " I heard her say

"Bullshit" I mumbled

"What?!" She yelled again

"Nothing!"

I walked up to my room and laid down. I sighed and finished my homework. I went to the sandlot but I didn't tell the guys. They didn't tell me that they were here with Tyler.

"Guys?!" I yelled

"Shit.." And "he caught us.." Went around.

They were hiding from me. I got furious and walked up to Tyler. I wasn't thinking and before I knew it I'd slapped her and kicked her to the ground. But that didn't stop her she got up and punched me and left.

"You fucking slut!" I yelled as she left. She stopped and turned on her heel.

"What the fuck did you just say to me?! Damn I thought you were actually fucking worth it!"

"What do you mean?" I said.

She scoffed and said "This whole fucking time I was planning something. A goddamn party for you! Because I knew why your mom is upset! I knew she wasn't going to care about you birthday so I went ahead and decided to throw you a fucking party! And the sad thing is I thought you were different Benny.... But I was sure as hell I was wrong! " She threw a box at me and left without a word. I looked at the guys and they got up and left quietly.
