Luke's P.O.V
I walked into class late, as usual. A new girl was sitting in the seat next to mine. She was beautiful. Brown hair half way down her back, slightly tanned with amazing hazel eyes. But her make up doesn't hide the bruise on her jaw. I wonder what happened.
"Luke Hemmings, this is the 7th time you have come to English class late. Do you have a good excuse this time?" My teacher questioned me.
"Hmm. No. No not really" I shrug. As I sit down in my seat. I see the new girl on my right sigh and roll her eyes. I lean back in my seat and laugh, nudging her with my elbow. "and you want to be here?" I question her. "Luke isn't it?" She asks turning to look at me. "Well some people want to go somewhere in life. Unlike yourself I want to learn. If you don't want to, theres the door." She waves her hand at the door and turns to face the front. Damm. I wasn't expecting that.
"You obviously want me to stay" I chuckle, sitting up and opening my English book.

Ashley's P.O.V
"You can think whatever you want" I mutter to the boy on my right. The teacher sighs and starts lecturing us about Shakespeare.
Luke leans over to me and whispers near my ear "I can see your bruises." Oh no. I quickly cover the left side of my jaw. I blush and look over to him and say "you didn't see anything. Okay?" He smirks, "only if you tell me what happened." I sigh. "Meet me at the cafeteria at lunch." He whispers as the teacher tells us to get ready for next class.

Luke's P.O.V
"So tell me what happened" I say to Ashley as we walk outside. "Um I ran into a door and slipped in the bathroom." She quickly says. "Lier. Tell me what really happened." Just then her phone rang. "Um do you mind if I answer this?" She asks. "Go ahead;" this is going to be interesting.
"Daniel? What! no..... Leave Will alone... I'll do whatever you want just don't hurt Will..... Because he's my younger brother..... Lay one finger on him and........ I want to talk to Will...mWill! Baby are you okay? What has he done?...... You know what to do. Remember what I taught you?.... Good. Run to the police and tell them to ring me. Will, I love you. Okay. Bye." Ashley ends the call and I notice her tear stained face.
She wipes her eyes and looks at me. I raise my eyebrows and she spills everything.

Ashley's P.O.V
"My dad left my mum when I was 8 because she had, well still has a drinking and drug addiction. I practically raised my little brother Will and struggled to find money for food. But my dad sent me $100 every week to help pay for food and school. That wasn't enough so I started busking in the street and earnt a bit more money. But I stopped when a guy tried to kidnap me when I was at the mall. Mum started getting better but got an abusive boyfriend so she went back to the drink to numb the pain. That's where I am right now." She tells me. "Please don't tell anyone. I don't want to be bullied anymore."
He opened his mouth to speak but the bell for next class rang through the school yard. "Let's go" I mumble, heading towards the school building.
