Cheryl's POV

I enter the school with my girlfriend's soft fingers intertwined between mine. My brown eyes gaze over at her beautiful honey locks and mahogany brown eyes, they're a bit dull today but nonetheless, they are so beautiful.

Those eyes meet mine and I offer her a sweet loving smile. "I'll see you in fourth period?"

Toni's perfect lips curl into a small smile while she nods, wavy hair moving with her head. I grin, leaning forward to peck her lips. My girlfriend kisses back before squeezing my hand. I then take notice of the small little bruise on her jawline. I furrow my ginger eyebrows with worry, my eyes scanning over the wound.

"Baby?" I murmur. "What happened?"

Toni looks at me with confusion before her eyes glaze over with realization. "Oh...uhm, Bella got a bit fussy yesterday and throw her toy train at me."

I watch the lie slip past her perfect lips and frown. Toni never likes to talk about her home life. I barely come over whenever her father is around, he doesn't like me..for some reason. So I can only come over when he's at work and then leave before he gets home.

I never understand why Mrs. Topaz married such a grumpy man.

"Okay..." I let it slide. If she wants to talk about it another time, I will respect that. "I'll see you later, okay?"

"Okay, Cher-Cher," she mumbles cutely. We share another kiss before parting ways, our hands slowly drifting apart. I turn to my locker and open it, getting my books for my first-period Biology class.

I'm so glad this is my last year of high school, Senior year will be my best year.

Toni's POV

My fingers drum against my desk while I sit in my third-period class. I slouch in my seat, uninterested in whatever my English teacher is going on about Egar Allen Poe.

My eyes trek over to the clock above the chalkboard and I sigh upon seeing that I have thirty minutes left in this boring class.

Any other day I wouldn't be bored. I love school, to learn, but my mind is cloudy and I'm just not feeling it today. My head hurts and my jaw stings.

I hate lying to Cheryl, but she can't know what my dad does whenever he gets upset. She'll see me differently and I don't need that. She's the best thing that ever happened to me, beside's my six-month-old baby sister, Bella.

I don't want her to see me as weak. I should be able to stand up to my father, but he's stronger than me in every aspect of life. From bodily strength to mental strength, I don't have the guts to say anything to him.

My mother knows what he does as well because she goes through the same thing. Just the two of us, and Bella, trapped in that house with him.

I wish things were different.

I notice my breathing start to pick up as my eyes dart towards the clock once again.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, stop thinking about it, Toni. You're okay. You're safe, you are in school. He can't hurt you here. I try to soothe myself but it doesn't work causing me to let out a gasp.
