(3 months later) WARNING F slurs ,i felt really uncomfortable writing a bunch of f slurs 

i got up from my bed looking for my laptop since i started online college classes this fall i started looking through all my bags and couldn't find it then i remember something my mother always kept my laptop in her room i walked out of my room from my brothers apartment my brother looked up from his phone looked like he was messaging someone 

"ok so i left my laptop back at moms house i'm gonna go grab it i'll be back soon"

he looked hesitant but nodded"ok be careful"

"i will" after that i grab my keys and headed outside i opened my car door and started the car i started making my way to my mother's house 

(30 minutes later) 

i pull up in the driveway and notice another car in the driveway is i stepped out of the car and went in the house and close the door and go silently go to my mothers room and grab my laptop and charger and close the door and set the stuff on the kitchen table because something seemed off when i stepped in house 

"well well well" i froze at the voice of my father i slowly turned around 

"wheres mom" i say try not to be terrified 

"oh her she dead so so so sad "he fakes pouts with fake sadness

"you're a monster " i say with tears running down my face 

"yeah well that what happens when you're daughter turns out to be a fagget!!"he yells and i flinch at the word he slowly made walked towards me and kicked me in the stomach i couldn't call my brother because he was on set of fear street 1994, he kept beating me he leaves and falls asleep on the couch i slowly get up from the ground and grab my laptop and run out of the house and get in my car and drive back to my brother apartment and walked in i had a hoodie on and sunglasses to cover what i didn't realise who was in the house and they turn around at the door opening and closing, my hands start shaking 

"lizzie why are you wearing sunglasses"my brother asked me i didn't answer he sighs and walks over to me, i place the stuff on the table and he raises his hand to take off the sunglasses but i flinched and everyone saw it, he lowered his hand he looked at me with sadness in his eyes i take the sunglasses off 

"im sorry" i whimpered i looked down ashamed that i went down to that house in the first place fred walks up to me and puts his fingers under my chin and lifts my chin up to look at him and he saw all of the the scars on my face givein to me from my father and and my bottom lip starts quivering and he pulls me into hug and i start crying in his shoulder i pulled out of the hug feeling really dizzy and julia notice this 

"lizzie are you ok " she said 

"umm i haven't eaten in 4 months " he walks closer to me and cups my face in between  his hands and wipes the tears off my face with his thumbs thats when he realise something when he was hugging her that he could feel her ribs when he was hugging her he walks me to the couch so i can sit down i lay down and he lifts my head gently and lays my head on his lap and started stroking my hair and i feel asleep 

McCabe's POV  (didn't expect this pov  did you :))

"so when are you going to ask her "i said and he looks up at me 

"at least when its a good timing but not right now when shes in this type of  state " he says to me i looked down at my sister knowing she had feelings towards the blonde i started stroking her cheek and kissed her forehead gently i pulled a blanket over her fragile body 

"ill be back" i said they snapped their heads towards me 

"where" fred asks me 

"well one filing report towards my father for abusing his daughter and two getting pizza she needs to eat" i say to him he nods at me "oh and make sure she doesn't start sliting her wrist again i just got her to stop " i say 

"ok-wait what" he corrects himself processing the news he just got he looks down at the girl in his arms asleep then looks back up at me "yeah ok i will " he says back to me 

(4 hours later)

i walk back into my apartment i shared with my little sister and closed the door i put the pizza boxes on the counter 

"is she awake " i say 

"um no she's been asleep the whole time when you were gone " julia says to me while looking at the girl that she befriended when they were Filming  1666  then someone knocked on the door i looked at the door confused 

"who would that be" Fred tells me 

"i have no idea let me check" i go to the door and open "yes who are you "

"oh hi im luke "i have face full of rage on my but i hear whimpering of my little sister

"is lizzie here " suddenly fred comes up from behind me with face full of anger 

"yeah she is but you're not speaking to her " he tells luke 

"who are you " luke says 

"her bestfriend " he tells luke 

"her boyfriend in the future "julia mutters but only fred and i heard her 

"fred you can take care of him i need to do something "i say to him 

i walk over to my sister and give her pizza to eat she eats like 3 pieces and hides in my arms he walks back in with bloody fist he goes in the kitchen and washes his hands and drys them off then in that moment i knew how much he cares for my little sister she falls asleep in my arms i pick her up bridal style and carry her to her room and lay her down and take off her shoes and put her covers over her body and kiss her forehead gently and tuck some blonde hair behind her ear
