Warning: Abuse
#Heather Chandler's POV:
I was confused on why everyone was quiet, but when I heard Mac talk I turned my attention to her, she asked if they could all talk to me, it now felt like it was a serious situation, I looked around then back at them.
"Uhh, yeah sure." I responded.
Mac then looked at Veronica and frowned.
"Heather... is your dad—" Veronica said then stopped herself, I understood my dad acted weird the night before, but it was weird for them to talk about him together.
"What?" I responded, had no clue what they were going to say.
"Heather are you being ab-" she tried to talk again, but nothing came out.
"Ab?" I asked.
"Abused..." Veronica responded, then my heart sank right into my stomach.

"Wait what?-" I asked, looking at Duke and Mac, "This— this is a joke right?" I asked.
Duke and Mac just looked at eachother.
I mean so what if I was, I don't have to say anything to them.
"Heather it's not a joke..." Veronica says, then my attention was turned back to her.
"Is your dad hurting you?" She continued.
I looked around then backed up a little.
"What- N-No! And even if he was- ab-abusing me. That's none of your business!" I said.
"Heather..." Mac said, then I turned to her.
"No! No- What gives you guys the right to be asking these kind of questions!"
I shouted at them, then they all looked at eachother, it's like the knew I was lying.
"Heather-" Duke spoke, "Shut up!" I shouted then looked back at Veronica.
"Heather, please, just tell us the truth, we can help you!" She said.
I looked at her then put my hands on my face.
"You guys need to be quiet!" I said, then looked behind me, at the door, knowing that her dad walked back this way not too long ago.
"So you are getting ab*sed?" Duke said, in a loud tone,
"No!" I shouted, but then heard a knock on the door.
"Heather," a manly voice spoke, at that moment Duke, Mac and Veronica all looked at eachother.
"May I have a word with you." He says, I could tell that he was trying to hold in his anger.

I then looked at them and growled slightly then walked out of the room, looking up at my dad.
"Dad..." I spoke, I turned around and saw the other 3 looking at eachother concerned, it was probably cause of how tall my dad was in comparison to me, I then turned back and looked at him.
"Can I speak to you for a moment, honey."
He responds in the creepiest voice possible.
"Uhmm- actually dad, I- I was getting ready for uhm... Ram Sweeney's party tonight."
I responded, in fear.

#Heather Duke's POV:
This was so awkward, I mean was it our fault that Heather was in trouble? Yes. I'm hoping that things don't get too bad, but after Heather responded to her father, he grabbed her arm and pulled  her down to the ground.
Me and the others just looked at eachother absolute shocked- he does know he done that right infront of us? Right. Veronica was strangely really affected by what just happened, causing her to stand up.
"Leave her alone!" She shouted to Heather's dad, he then turned to Veronica and smirked.
"I'm sorry, Veronica was it? What was that?"
Veronica then looked at me and Mac then looked back at Chandler's dad.
"I meant— uhm- I mean..." She backed up slightly.
"Dad, Leave her alone..." Chandler spoke,
"They didn't do anything wrong."
She continued, then her dad thrusted his fist in anger, then turned around to Chandler and kicked her stomach.
He then turned to us 3,
"Get out! Get out right now!" He warned us, then we grabbed our bags and walked past him, all looking at Chandler as we walked by.
