"Are you going to tell me what happened that night?" Max asked laying on Els bed. They finally were best friends again. Right now they were laying in Els bed watching Netflix.

"What do you mean?"

"You know... The night of the party.. in the closet... Something must've happened"

El sighed and nodded.

"He never told you?" She asked.

"No. He won't talk about it said nothing happened. But I won't tell him or Lucas or anyone"

"He kissed me. Like he really kissed him. Full on hot passionate kiss. Then as soon as it was over.we acted like nothing happened. I knew I couldn't handle it anymore after that so I distant myself."

"Oh my god El?! Really?!"

"Yeah.. but now he thinks I'm the biggest bitch ever" El sighed.

"He's just mad your dating Troy. He will get over it"

El nodded laying back down on her pillow.

~~~

El was happy. Everything seemed perfect. Her and Troy were happy and together. Max was her best friend again.

El was out with Troy tonight, they were going to a movie with some of his friends.

El was always clumsy. Everyone knew that. But that night she tripped over nothing and accidentally spilled thier drink on Troy. He groaned throwing his food down grabbing her harshly by the arm dragging her around the corner. "What the hell El?!" He screamed not realizing his grip.

El winced "I--I--m sorry.. I--I-- didnt mean too" she stuttered.

"Watch it! Or you'll have more then just a bruise on your a next time" he yelled pushing her back making her.stumble to the ground.

That. Was the very first incident.

El arrived at school that day with a sore arm and long sleeve to cover the bruise.

Troy made it up to her that day with flowers.

~~~

El was at one of Troy's soccer games now. She wasn't too interested in the game so she started making conversation with a guy beside her.

Troy walked by grabbing her harshly again and pushing her against the side of a brick wall making her head hit it. His hand collided with the side of her face. Leaving a red mark. "What did I say about talking to other boys?!" He growled.

This was about incident five. It was becoming more common. It was scaring El but she couldn't tell anyone. She would constantly come to school with long sleeves and hoods up. But Troy would make it up to her every time.

After a month of this happening El walked into bio class with something she couldn't cover up. She had a balck eye, her eyes blood shit, and he glasses obviously broken. She tried avoiding any ones gaze as she walked to the front of the class to sharpen her pencil.

"Hold shit El... What happened to you?" Angela asked.

El looked up but quickly looked away when Mike looked at her "no--nothing... I'm just clumsy" she shurgged and went back to her seat. Mike didn't believe her for a.second, she had always been a terrible liar.

A party. Tonight was. A party at Jennifer Hayes house. Everyone was invited. Troy made it very clear to show up in something hot.
