Lee's POV

I lay on the floor sweat, tears and blood cover my body. Everything hurts I can't even get off the floor. I spot my phone out of the corner of my eye on the floor. Let's just say... I had gotten quite the beating. My limp body leaves a trail of blood as I slide across the floor. I don't know who to call to be honest, do I even call anyone?

3rd person POV

Lee managed to stand up and inch her way to her room that was luckily on the same floor as her. Lydia climbs into the shower washing off trying to feel better and once she gets out she cleans all her cuts.

Lydias phone starts to buzz and to her luck... JJ.
She picks it up pressing the phone to her ear. "Hey, is everything ok? Just wanted to make sure everyone's safe" JJ asks from the other line. "It would be if you just got up and left when I said" she snaps hanging up. 'What just came over me?' she thinks but still feels that wave of anger.

Lee lays down and doodles on a piece of paper trying to get her mind off of everything and the amount of pain she's in. Lucky for her everyone was asleep when her window slides open and in pops the blonde haired boy.

"Get out"

"Lee please"

"Get out JJ! Just get out" she shouts as tears form in her eyes at the amount of pain it's cause just to speak. Without saying everything he kicks off his shoes and lays in her bed, wrapping his arms around her lightly enough so it doesn't hurt. I mean that's what he would want someone to do for him.

Lee felt the knot in her stomach grow before sobs leave her mouth and tears roll down her soft cheeks. "shhh it's ok, just let it out Lee." he whispers while stroking her hair.

"I'm right here... and I'm not going anywhere"

Lee absolutely hated going to others for help but being in JJs arms gave her a type of comfort she never felt. "I'm sorry" the girls says pulling out of his grip. JJ inspects her face, she has a black eye, a large bruise on her cheek, a busted lip and god knew what her sides and stomach looked like.

He leans into her pressing his lips to hers but she winces in pain "I'm sorry you've got that big cut" he mumbles scratching the back of his head. She smiles and kisses his cheek in a friendly way.

"Thank you Jay" she whispers while wresting her head on his shoulder. "For a not very sympathetic guy you're good at comforting people" she smiles "well that's what I would want someone to do for me" he tells her. They sit in silence for a minute just enjoying each other's company.

"How did you know my dad hit me?"

"I could basically smell it, you're the typical 'frat boy' that no one really knows about" she giggles. "Ok my turn" he starts.

"Why are you afraid of love Lee?"

"It's complicated"

JJ smiles looking down at her "how did you know?" Lydia asks him.

"Like you said.... I could smell it"
