Emily's Pov:

My smile fades. I instantly felt hatred. Anger rises inside me. The memory of that night rushes through my head. I remember every detail.

-Flashback-

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Daniel (my brother) shouts. He pushes my "father" away from me. I sit there feeling use less. Watching Daniel get hit by him. "STOP IT! PLEASE STOP!" I scream out. "STOP!" My throat starts to get raspy from screaming. Tears flow down my face. "PLEASE!" I can't do anything. My body hurts to stand. "STOP HURTING HIM" I watch him repeat the same things over to Daniel. It stung my heart as I just watch this whole mess. They both kept going at it until Daniel gets hit hard enough to fall unconseious. "DANIEL" I scream this time standing up and running over to him. I knee down next to him. I don't care about the pain going through my body. All I care is about Daniel. I look over. He walks up to me. "L-leave m-me alone. P-please. I-What d-do you want?" I start moving backwards, but hit the wall which stung my back even more. Next thing I knew everything went black.

I wake up to Daniel holding an ice pack over my head. He sighs. "D-Daniel?" I ask softly. "Sshh don't talk. Just get some rest." He replies. "Promise me that n-nomatter w-what happens....t-that we'll make it through this. T-that we'll figure a-a way o-out of this n-nightmare. We'll e-escape and find a b-better place to live?" I ask in a raspy voice. I hold my picky out
He looks at me. "I- I promise" he says with a small smile wrapping his pinky around mine. "Now get some rest" he tells me again. I smile at him. He leans down and kisses my forehead. "Night princess" It takes me awhile to finally sleep, but I eventually do while holding Daniel' s hand. Knowing that we'll stay together. At least thats what I had thought.

The next morning I woke up to see an empty spot next to me. I had thought that maybe Daniel went back to his room. I get up slowly being extremely sore. I check in his room, but didn't see him there. I went downstairs and looked everywhere, but no sign of him. I finally thought that he probably went someplace and that he would be back. My parents had been in bed all day. So I wouldn't be bothered at all. I sit outside on the porch and wait for Daniel to come. I sat there. An hour past. Then two. Soon it was four and I had decided to get something to eat. I go fix something then come back out. I wait even more. Nope. Nothing. Night falls and I was still there. "Daniel" I say softly. I look down at my feet. A tear slid down my cheek. Soon enough I was crying. I went back inside and upstairs to my bed. I cried into my pillow. I ended up crying myself to sleep. That was that. Days went on...he never came back....and I always said to myself......"you promised Daniel"

-End of Flashback-

I push him away as he tries to hug me. He looks hurt when I do, but I don't care. "Why are you here? I thought you made it very clear that you didn't want to be here" I spat. He sighs. He comes in and goes over to couch and sits down. We sat in silence for a few minutes until he spoke up.

"Look I know what I did was wrong, but you got to understand I didn't want you to get hurt," he begins. "I was planning to come back for you, and I'm s-" I cut him off. "But you never did!" I start. "instead you just leave without saying goodbye," my voice begans to shake. "WHEN YOU PROMISED THAT YOU WOULD STAY WITH ME AND THAT WE WOULD FIND A WAY OUT, TOGETHER!" I yell trying to hold back my tears from falling. "You promised....and I waited for you.....hours after hours....but you never showed..." I stand up. "Right now today has been awful, but my friends made me think that it would've been better. I really didn't want it to be ruin by you showing up and thinking everything would be the way is was, because its not" I state with tears now forming my eyes.

"Emily" I look over back at him. "I think its best if you j-just leave", I say sniffling.."please" I go over to the door and open it. He stands up and makes his way out, but before he entirely left, he stops and turns to me.

"I never meant to hurt you" then he left.

Daniel's Pov:

I felt my heart shattered as I leave. She's right though. I broke my promise. I hurt her when I said I wouldn't. What kind of brother am I. I'm such an idiot. She waited. She waited for me to come back, but I never did because I was scared. I was scared to go back and face them. I feel my hands form into fists. I can feel myself getting upset and angry. I speed up my pace as I walk. I begin to jog. Next thing I know I'm running. Where? I don't know. I punch the closest thing in my way. It wasn't a great thing to do because I feel my hand bleeding from the tree. I just punch it over and over to the point were I can't feel my hands anymore. I've had enough. I can't keep my tears back. I just let them go. I'm sorry Emily.

Emily's Pov:

It had been an hour since Daniel left. It took me 30 minutes not to burst out crying, but I managed to just shake it off. And it has been an hour since Skylar, Jordan, and Taylor surprised me. Then 30 minutes of me screaming and jumping up and down. I'm not worried about my parents hearing me because they're not going to becoming home early. They always stay out late. To me it doesn't matter.What I'm worried about is the fact that they haven't been near me. They haven't touched me at all this week so far. Are they planning to do something to me...I don't know....I'll know when time comes.

In the mean time I'm currently here in my room sitting on my bed still fangirling over my cd. I place my cd on my bed then grab my phone and take a photo. I open instagram and go to my pictures. I search for the one I wanted then press it. I'm so excited that I can barely even type my caption without shaking.
Words can't describe how much I love my best friends. Them doing this for me is worth more than anything I've ever wanted. This is how it happened. Anna came to my school. We were going to meet her, but I had to leave.....they knew how much I wanted to meet her so being the best friends they are, they take my cd away and ask her to sign it. Something like that. @annakendrick47 no day has been like this one. Its the only day that...I actually feel happy.....and its because of you and my friends. Thank you.

I smile as I finish typing my caption. I tag Anna then clicked the check mark. The first thing that pops is from a one of my fellow weirdos @kitkatkendrick says: Sweetest thing I've read. So cute. Thats true friendship. Don't let them go. As seconds pat more people comment saying congrats or lucky and etc. Its not that fact I was lucky, it was because of my friends and Anna. Mostly my friends, but Anna was also a huge part of it. I got to home page and scroll down liking pictures. I did that for a few minutes, but got tired. I curl up in my bed carefully and wrap myself in my blanket. I drift off into a nice sleep. This day won't ever get topped. I just smiled in my sleep.....
