Chloe's POV:
"Look I know your probably wondering why I'm even here but I wanted to apologize for earlier."

"Oh really? Well sorry isn't gonna cut it. When you point out my scars it's like when someone makes fun of you for your lip. I can't believe I defended you. Your still a loser and you always have been Eli." I said all of that while looking him in the eyes without changing the expression of anger on my face.

Hawks POV:
She was right. I am a loser. I'm also a jerk. Even though she's looking at me with a cold look right now, I can tell their full of hurt. I know she's hiding something. I wonder if that hurt has anything to do with that scar. She never wears revealing clothes so I'm guessing she has other scars too. I feel really bad now. However, even when she's hurting, she's still beautiful. I can't believe the one girl I care about hates me.

Chloe's POV:
i turn around to start walking away.

"Hey chloe!" a voice shouts. I turn around expecting it to be Hawk, but it was Kyler.

"Oh you woke up. How was the nap princess?"
I asked sarcastically at Kyler.

"Look you really shouldn't mess with me."
the the black haired boy scoffed.

"You messed with me first so I put you in your place." I said taking a step forward.

And what makes this worse is that Hawk is just standing there awkwardly wondering if he should say anything or not.

"Listen here slut. Everyone knows your dad raped you and everyone knows that scar on your neck is from your dad and everyone knows you cut yourself and everyone knows you had an eating disorder and everyone knows your a gay piece of shit."

He said all of this while walking towards me. which made me flinch many times. He reminded me of my dad but I tried my hardest to show no fear. Even Hawk heard everything and was standing still in shock.

Suddenly I started getting all the flashbacks
I could hear myself screaming stop to my dad and him just never stopping

I could feel the stinging pain in all of my scars as if the moments they were made were just happening again at the same time

I could feel my dads hands on me

I could hear the doctors voice telling me about my eating disorder

I could hear all the insults my dad threw at me when i came out to him.

My eyes were wide open. My chest was rising and falling quicker then ever. I couldn't breathe. I was panicking. I slammed myself against a locker and slid down it putting my knees up to my chest.

I didn't even notice Kyler left after he realized he had finally hit my soft spot.

Hawks POV:
I didn't know what to do. I kneeled in front of her. And tried my best to calm her down.

Chloe's POV:
He put his hand on my shoulder comfortingly but I quickly slapped it away while flinching and yelling "don't touch me!"

My breathing speeding up even more and getting heavier.

"Hey! Look at me. Breathe! You can do this. Come on breathe with me. Focus on me Chloe!"

"Do you want sand?"

He confused me. Why in the world would I want sand?

"There you go."

I realized I calmed down.

"How'd you know to do that?" I asked tilting my head.

"My dad uses it on my mom all the time."

"But this isn't about me. What happened there? You have to tell me now what's going on."

That only set me off. My eyes are burning now. I feel hot tears streaming down my face. Then I feel a pair of comforting arms around me. rubbing my back comfortingly. It was Hawk.

"Hey it's ok. You can tell me. If that thing about your dad is true, you have to tell me Chloe. I don't want you to have to live in misery like you are right now."

I calmed myself down and took a deep breath in.

"When I was born, my mom passed away giving birth to me. So that pretty much means it was my fault. My dad then became addicted to taking drugs and selling them. He also hates me so he abuses the life out of me. The only time I can ever defend myself against him is when he isn't armed. When he has knife, I'm helpless. The only reason I let him pretty much do whatever he wants to me is because he always threatens to sell me to other men for sex. Luckily he never actually has but I can't take any chances."

He looked at me with one of the most sorrowful looks I've ever seen.

"Chloe I- I'm so sorry. I don't even know what to say."

"I don't tell much people or show my scars because it makes me look weak. It makes me look like I just let anyone push me around like i'm nothing."

"You aren't weak. you are one of the strongest people ever. If you can get through all of that messed up shit, and come to school every day and act like nothing happened, and even put others before yourself, that makes you so strong. But you really should tell someone other then me."

"Sensei already knows. I didn't let him find out on purpose though. He just saw me being abused in an alley and he promised not to tell anyone."

"I understand."

"I should really get going now so um I'll see you around"

"Not even a thank you? I just saved your life"
Hawk said smirking.

"Don't get too full of yourself pretty boy. It was just a panic attack nothing special."

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Umm home?"

"You don't think I'm gonna let you go home to that monster after what you just told me? Come stay at my place I'm sure my mom would understand."

"If my dad found me I'd be dead meat so I think I'll pass. Thanks for the offer though."

"At least let me go with you. I could help you and at least get you to go somewhere better."

"And how will you do that exactly?"

"Come to your house with you, beat your dads ass and we'll go from there."

"Yeah it's not that easy pretty boy. My dad pretty much caught onto that I know how to kick ass now so he's always armed when it comes to hurting me."

"Just take me to your house and we'll figure something out alright? I'm not letting you go back there alone."

"Fine. come on now my dad doesn't like to be kept waiting."
