Y/N
    My heart stops hearing the door open so I try to run upstairs but then I get grabbed by my hair. "Where you going in such a hurry? What did you do that you had to run away?!" My dad yelled. "N-Nothing! I-I promise!!" *I stuttered out as eyes started watering. My dad set me down and sat on the couch "bring me a beer now!" He yelled. I ran into the kitchen opening the fridge to only see one beer so my heart sank. I grav the beer and walk to my father handing it to him. "Good now sit down cause I'll need you to get me another one once this one is done." He said almost like a demand. I gulped and slowly sat on the other couch trying to get away from him. Like 30 minutes later my father looked at me and said "Time for another one Doll." I cringed and slowly stood up ready to book it "T-There are not anymore left.." I stuttered out and looked down waiting for something to happen. I was right...Next thing I know the empty beer bottle got smacked off the table to break it and the broken part was thrown at me cutting my cheek. I look up scared and shocked feeling the blood drips down my face. My father slowly starts getting closer to me looking pissed so I turned around and ran out the door. He chased me for a whole block before he gave up and walked home. But me? I didn't stop running, I kept going as tears stormed down my face stinging the cut. I made it to an alley way. I ran down it and ran into someone. I sat there on the ground not looking up hoping they would just walk off but instead they stuck their hand out. I took it and stood up and still not looking at the person. The person used their hand under my chin to make me look at them. It was a boy, He looked around my age if not older. His eyes instantly went to the cut on my cheek. I knew by now the blood was dripping down my neck. "What happened?! Who did this?!" The boy asked concerned. I didn't know what to say so I just looked him in the eyes and said "We ran out of beer so my father got mad." His face showed mixed emotions that I couldn't figure out. Next thing I know he grabs my hand and walks me in the direction I came running from. I got confused and questioned why he was walking me towards the road my house was on, did he know where I live? Or does he live on the same street? I came back to reality and realized we were in front of the house Debbie stays at. I looked at the boy confused as he walked in like he lived there. "Ah Carl you finally made it home, where were yo-" Lip stopped talking once his eyes landed on me. "Y/N?!" Lip runs over to me and I could hear a lot of footsteps coming down the stairs as well. I didn't even realize me and Carl were still holding hands. Lip grabbed my face looking at my cheek "what the hell happened?!" He asked. I couldn't speak so I looked at the boy which was called Carl and gave him a look to tell him to talk instead. He understood and said "she ran out of beer so her father got pissed." Debbie came running over to me hugging me making me and Carl's hands break away from each other. "Oh my God I knew I shouldn't have let you leave! I'm so sorry Y/nnie!!" She cried out. "Wait so you guys know her? Where the fuck was I?" Carl asked. Ian laughed and said "out doing whatever, Debbie went over to her house and picked her up. She's our new neighbor." Carl just stood there shocked. I chuckled but soon winced because of the pain "damnit.." I mumbled. Carl walked somewhere in the house and grabbed a bat walking towards the door. "Carl what the hell are you doing with the bat?!" Lip asked. Carl rolls his eyes and says "Clearly gonna go set an old man straight." Debbie grabbed my hand and led me to the bathroom they had downstairs grabbing the first aid kit and sitting me down on the kitchen counter. Carl hasn't left the house yet, he has just been eyeing me up. Debbie grabbed a rag and put some rubbing alcohol on it and started dabbing it on my cut. My instinct were to punch her so I grabbed the counter tightly and closed my eyes tightly. "Fuck that burns." I said. Debbie laughed and started putting medicine on the cut so I opened my eyes on to see Carl closer and no longer having the bat. "Ok just need a bandage bug enough for the cut." Debbie said "I'll be right back." She patted my thigh and walked off to find a bandage bug enough. "So Y/n it was?" Carl asked standing right in front of me. I looked at him kinda shocked but finally got a close look at his features. I could tell he noticed me staring cause he moved closer putting his hands on my thighs. "U-Um yeah I'm Y/n." I said now staring down at his hands. Carl chuckled and said "eyes are up here babe." I looked up and stared into his beautiful eyes. "God your eyes are so pretty." I said not knowing I said out loud. Carl smirks but then moves hearing Debbie coming back. "Ok I got the bandage, oh Carl were you checking on her?" Debbie asked. Carl nodded then winked at me then walked upstairs. Debbie starts putting on the bandage and says "Carl might like you a little bit but since you guys just met I wouldn't know just yet." I looked at her then heard franny crying so I said "I'll finish putting on the bandage go ahead and take care of franny." I smiled and she mouthed a quick thank you before running upstairs. I finished putting the bandage on and leaned back onto the counter closing my eyes. My phone started ringing I knew who it was so I just ignored it. Ian comes walking into the kitchen and says "your phones ringing. You gonna answer it?" I shook my head no so he grabbed my phone reading the name "Father" so he answered it and put it on speaker. "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YA BRAT?! YOU CAN'T HIDE FOREVER!! YOU GOTTA COME HOME AND SHOWER AND GET CLEAN CLOTHES SOONER OR LATER!!" My Father yelled causing me to open my eyes and sigh. Carl came running downstairs because my father was yelling really loud but before Carl spoke he saw the phone and stayed quiet. I spoke up "sure sure, I'll be home whenever your not there." We heard glass shattering on the other end of the phone then my father yelled "I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU IF YOU EVER TALK BACK TO ME!! I BET YOUR AT THE NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE, WHY DON'T I PAY A LITTLE VISIT!!" And with that the call ended. I looked up seeing Everyone staring at me. The one person I made eye contact with was Carl. But then there was a bang at their front door.
