I woke up on the couch and it was 7 am so I decided to quietly leave without waking Jake up who was sleeping on the floor. Before I left I wrote a note so Jake wouldn't be worried. On my way home I was praying that my mom wouldn't beat me up when I got home. When I finally got home I quietly went into the house but to my surprise my mom was making out with this guy on the couch, I hoped they didn't see me...but they did.
They quickly got up and my mom was yelling at me so I backed away until I hit the wall. The guy my mom was with came up to me and slapped me and it hurt like hell but I just tried to run...but I wasn't successful. My mom grabbed onto me and I could smell alcohol on her. Before I knew it the guy was punching me and kicking me until finally I escaped and ran upstairs into my room and locked the door. I hurt everywhere.
I can't handle living like this, it's terrible. I found my suitcase and I packed everything I needed when suddenly I heard pounding on the door. "EMBER GET THE FUCK OUT HERE I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU YET" that made me pack faster. I found my phone and texted Jake and asked if I could crash there for a few days and he accepted. Now all I needed was to find a way to get passed my mom and that guy.

~15 minutes later~

I couldn't hear them anymore and it sounded like they were busy doing god knows what in a bedroom down the hall. I slowly unlocked and opened the door and no one was there so I grabbed my stuff and ran outside and went straight into my car. I drove to Jakes house and I saw he was waiting on the front step for me. He was so caring. We have always been there for each other no matter what. I got out of my car and he ran up to me and hugged me. "Ember I'm so sorry this happened to you I'm gonna kill them for hurting my best friend" I couldn't respond because I was somewhat crying and my voice sounds fucked up when I try to talk.
We walked inside and Jake was carrying my things and I didn't realize it but it was almost nighttime. And yes it takes a long time to drive to Jakes house. I was just about to sit down when Jake said "you can sleep in the extra room upstairs" "thanks Jake your the best" I was headed upstairs when Jake yelled "Oh hey Ember I forgot to tell you Andy and CC from my band are coming over tomorrow morning" I suddenly became excited. "okay that's fine" I know who Black Veil Brides are I have just never met them all and I'm not even sure if I know what they all look like. I finally got to my room and took off my Pierce The Veil shirt and my black jeans and I put on my pj's. I was exhausted from all that happened today and I few bruises started to form all over my body but I just ignored it. I put my hair up because it's always getting in my way cuz it's so long.

JAKES POV

I went upstairs to check on Ember and I felt bad so I also brought her some hot chocolate cuz it's her favourite. "Hey Ember I brought you some hot chocolate"
"Thanks Jake I could really use this right now" when she said that I noticed some bruises on her face. "Those bruises on your face look painful can I get a better look at them?" "Um....I guess so...just be careful cuz they hurt" I moved my hand onto her face and pulled her closer to get a better look. "Did he slap you?" "Yeah..." I was so mad. Who could do such a thing to such a sweet girl? After observing for awhile I wanted her to get some rest so I let her go to sleep.

EMBERS POV

When Jake left the room i became extremely tired and all I could think of is how I'm gonna find a place to live...I have no money and I can't stay with Jake the rest of my life what am I gonna do? I thought about for awhile then I slowly drifted off to sleep.
