The Next Day
I wake up in pain. I can barely move. I get up with all my strength. Why am I i'm this much pain. I don't remember getting hit again. I look at myself in the mirror and I have bruises, in my arms, legs, face, back, and stomach. I go to my mirror and check where I feel pain and I find bruises. When did I get these??

Dream POV
Yesterday, last night, while y/n was asleep I saw her boyfriend pull up in a friend's car and clearly drunk. He walked into the house and went straight into y/n's room. He look as if he was about to- but then he fainted for about 3 minutes. After passing out for a bit, he got back up angry and hit y/n. I crunched my fists and started to walk to my door. But I can't do anything. I barely know her and things could end up worse. But she didn't even do anything, why is she with him??

Y/n POV
I walk up with food for Jason and he's still asleep, so I place it on the table. He wakes up and walks up to me. "Hey, I'm leaving for a few days, stay home and don't look for me. Stay home and wait for me." he says. "But what if I need something from the store? I have to-" "I SAID DON'T GO OUT! JUST STAY HOME?? ARE YOU TRYING TO CHEAT ON ME??" he yells back. "What are you talking about? I left everything for you, didn't I?" I respond. I honestly don't have any feelings for him. It's more of not hurting anyone I love. If only mom and dad were here, I'm sure they would beat his ugly head up. But, they're not here, and I don't think I'm strong enough to do this on my own. Jason pushes me and walks out. Days go by and things seem to be the same. I keep getting to know Clay through my window, following what Jason said, and he's really sweet. But with Jason, all I get are hits and threats. He probably just wants me because I do everything for him. Can't a he get a servant with all that money he has?

A while later
I watch Clay go out with a girl, and two guys. They're probably his friends, but I kinda feel jealous. Could that be his girlfriend? Clay turns and notices me at the window. I get startled and turn around to pretend I wasn't watching him, and I suddenly get this feeling. A feeling that's I haven't felt in years. But- I don't know what it is. I see him walk up to my door.

Dream POV
KNOCK KNOCK
She opens the door. She's still as gorgeous as I remember. I forgot what I was gonna say- "Hi" she says. It's the first time I ever heard her voice, and it's sweeter than I imagined. "Hey, um, I was wondering if you'd like to hangout with us, we're headed our favorite diner." I respond. Did I sound nervous? Did I sound weird? I'd really like to get to know her better. She seems so amazing in the little bits I've got to know her.

Y/n POV
Wouldn't Jason get mad? He's not my dad- I should be free to hangout with who I want. But what if he hits me again? But what about me? Don't I matter? "Sure, but only for a bit, i've got a few other things to do" give me a minute. I close the door, add a little lip balm, fix my hair and grab my keys and purse. I open the door and make my way out. "It's nice to meet you, y/n!" the girl says. "You too! Um.." "(-----)" she says. "Oh! Nice to meet you ———!" I say. "That is my fiancé, George" she says as the the black-haired boy says with an English accent says "Hello". "I'm nick." the brown-hair boy says. "It's really nice to meet you all!" I smile. "How long have you two been engaged?" I ask ———. "For a few days now." she answers. "Wow! So it's pretty recent, huh?" I say in awe of the engaged couple. If only I could have someone to share that kind of life with. "Yep, it took us so long to get where we are, and we're in such a happy place." ——— says while she turns to George. We arrive at the diner and my legs are killing me a bit. FINALLY A SEAT. We sit down at the table and I sit next to Clay, while Nick sits in between ——— and George. The waitress comes and asks "Are you ready for me to take your order?" ——— orders a hot dog and strawberry milkshake, Nick orders some hot wings and a coke, George gets an omelet and apple juice, Clay gets a burger with fries and a sprite, and I get a burger with fries but with an oreo milkshake. The sun is shining nicely in the diner, I really missed the days going out like this. We talk about things of interest. They all play minecraft, which I found really interesting since I used to play growing up, it really distracted me from problems. "So what do you like to do y/n?" asks Clay, "what are your hobbies or places you like to do on your free time?" "Well, when I was younger, my mom had a beautiful garden of flowers, and I love how beautiful they are. I love every kind, but my favorites are daisies. They're so astonishing to me. And I wish to one day have a garden just as beautiful as my mom did." I answered. "Awww y/n" that is sounds amazing, I would love to meet your mom, she sounds so nice." ------- said. "Oh, she um.. she passed away when I was nine." I told them. "Oh my god, I am so sorry y/n" she said. "Are you okay?" Clay asked me and I broke down. He pulled me into a hug and my head rested on his chest. ---- held my hand across the table and lightly rubbed it. "We're here for you, y/n. You're our friend now, and you can trust us for anything. You can trust me, okay?" Clay whispered to me. I nodded. His whisper gave me a soft hug of comfort. I have never felt this way, with anyone. It's like a warm hug on a cold day. Like the warm sun coming out on a rainy day. His words gave me a special hug inside. I slightly pulled back from our hug, he lifted my face to meet his, and he held my face with his soft and warm hands. He brushed his fingers against my cheeks to wipe my tears. He gave me a gentle smile and I felt better. I looked over at ------ and George and they smiled at me. They all gave me the comfort I needed. We kept talking after that to keep a happy mood, but I couldn't stop feeling all these butterflies that Clay gave me. I couldn't stop looking at him. I couldn't help but see how kind, loving, and caring his heart was. As we kept talking, he unconsciously moved closer to me. I could smell his sweet honey scent as he moved in slowly closer to me. And then, our legs touched underneath the table. I could feel all the tension in my body move to the part where we connected. I tried to act natural but the feeling he gave me was uncontrollable. Being with him felt right.

Dream POV

Oh. My. God. I don't want to make her think I'm a pervert but our legs touched, and I feel so many butterflies fill me up in seconds. I can feel my cheeks slightly go red. How does she do this? She has no idea the power she has over me. I wish I could just tell her that I feel this special way with her.. but I can't, she has a boyfriend, remember? I turn to look at her, and she seems so happy. I have never seen her this happy since I met her. That guy is a straight up jerk for doing the things he does to her and not treating her like she deserves. "Y/n, George and I want to invite you to our wedding! It's still being planned but we would love for you to be there!" ------ says. "Awww, I would love to, I'll do my best to make it!" Y/n responds. Before we know it, it's late and ----- and George get an Uber to take them home, and Sapnap gets to third wheel them HAAAAAAA *tea kettle*. Bye guys!" George says. "Byeeeee! It was so nice meeting you y/n!"------ says. "It was lovely meeting you too!" Y/n says. They drive away and y/n and I start heading back home.

Y/n POV
"The sky looks beautiful." I say as I look up at the dark night sky filled up with bright little stars. "It does." Clay says and we turn to each other. Our eyes lock. The stars shine beautifully onto his pretty green eyes. "It was really nice meeting your friends." I tell him as we turn forward and keep walking. "Thanks, I'm glad you liked them." He responds. "Thank you." I tell him. What he did earlier meant the world to me. "For what?" He asks and turns to look at me. "For giving me support earlier. For comforting me and making me feel so much better. It truly means a lot." "Anytime y/n" he smiles. The way he says my name makes me feel tingly all around. I love the way my name comes out when he says it. As we get there halfway, I sit down on a bench. I'm soooo tireddddd. "Are you okay, y/n?" He asks me as he stands in front of me. "Yeah, I'm just really tired from walking, sorry." I say as I look down. He notices how tired I am.

Dream POV
I see a new bruise on the back of her neck. I didn't see it earlier. "Come." I extend by hand out for her to give me her hand and I guide her up from the bench, and make her stand on top of it. I turn around, placing her and in front of me and having her ride on my back and shoulders (piggyback) her home.

Don't hate me. Don't hate me. Don't hate me. Don't hate me. Don't hate me. Don't hate me. Don't hate me. Don't hate me. Don't hate me. Don't hate me. Don't hate me.
