(TW! Abuse)

"GET ME A GODDAMN DRINK I SAID!" He yelled, a tear rolled down my face.

"I said no." I snapped.

"Don't fucking tell me no little girl." He growled.

"Get the fuck away from me." I mumbled. 

"What did you say to me?" He grabbed my arm really hard and try to turn me towards him.

"I SAID GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!" I yanked my arm from him and ran upstairs.

"YEAH GO FUCKING RUN AND HIDE YOU LITTLE BITCH!" He screamed up the stairs. 

I locked my door and started crying really hard. I opened my window and realized that it was pouring rain outside. 

"Fuck," I said to myself. 

I grabbed my phone and put it in my back pocket on my shorts and stepped onto my small balcony, hitting my leg in the process. I bent down to rub my leg and I noticed there was a ladder conveniently right next to the balcony so I pulled it over and slowly started to climb down it. I started walking to the triplets house, because Mary Lou's words replayed in my mind.

"If you ever need a place to go come here," Her voice echoed in my mind.

I walked for the 6 blocks away that they were in the pouring rain, and finally arrived at their door step. I quietly knocked at the door and heard someone walking down the stairs to come open it. The door opened and Matt stood in front of me and I started crying again. He pulled me into a hug and I didn't even fight it, but I tensed up. I just cried into his just as I listened to his reassuring words that I was okay. I finally untensed and wrapped my arms around him finally fully accepting the hug. He brought me into the living room and then walked into his parents room, and not even a minute later out walked both Mary Lou and Jim. Mary Lou hugged me and I cried into her as they talked to me about what happened. I noticed Matt was just watching from the hallway, he looked like he felt bad, sympathy was shown in his facial features. Nick appeared next to him and they both just watched. Mary Lou had asked Nick if he could lend me some clothes and he brought me a sweatshirt and sweatpants to change into. Mary Lou went and got me a towel and I went to go change in their bathroom. I walked back out and saw Matt was still out there when I came out, and there was blankets and a pillow on the couch. 

"My parents went back to sleep, but they left there out here for you so you could sleep." He wouldn't look me in the eyes.

"Oh, thanks." I softly responded.

He started to walk away and I went to sit get situated on the couch but he stopped in his tracks.

"Can I ask you a question?" He took a deep breath.

"Uhm, I guess?" I look up at him.

"How long?" He softly spoke.

"What do you mean?"

"Like how long has he been, you know," He motioned to the bruise on my arm.

"Oh uh, since I was 11, about 4 months after my mom died." I replied.

"Oh," His face fell.

"Yeah, but uh, yeah, goodnight." I gave him a smile.

"Right, goodnight." He turn to walk to his room.

"Wait, uh, thank you." I called to him.

"Oh, uh, anytime." He gave me a smile and went back into his room. 

I stared up at the ceiling and shortly fell asleep. In the morning I woke up to hear Chris yelling at someone.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH! Hands off my goddamn juice!" He yelled.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP AVA IS ASLEEP IN THE LIVING ROOM!" Nick yelled back.

"She won't be now after you two assholes are yelling." I heard Matt say.

I sat up and folded the blanket that I was given last night and put the pillow on top of it, then looked out the window and saw that there was flooding outside near the end of the cul de sac. I shrugged it off and went into the kitchen and Nick and Chris faced me.

"OH HEY YOU'RE AWAKE!" Chris yelled.

"Please stop yelling," Matt groaned.

"We don't have school today, too many back roads were flooded from the rain last night." Nick smiled at me.

"Oh, cool." I gave a small smile.

"Oh you're awake!" Mary Lou came out of her room.

"Thank you for the blanket and pillow last night," I spoke softly.

"Oh my! I totally forgot to give you one, one of the boys must have done it." She smiled at me.

"I went back to sleep," Nick took a bite of his cereal.

"I didn't even know Ava was here till I woke up and Nick told me," Chris smirked.

Matt got up and walked into his room and shut the door behind him, which caused me just to eye roll. 

"One day he'll realize how much you guys care about each other," Chris remarked.

"I don't care about him that much, and him with I, he probably did it because he felt kind of bad." I rolled my eyes at Nick.

"Yeah alright," He snorted.

Chris handed me a bowl, milk, and some cereal and I poured myself a little and started eating. I thought it was really sweet of Matt to leave me a blanket and pillow out last night, it was a nice gesture. I liked that him and I were more friends now, because I was starting to finally feel comfortable around him, because I knew I didn't need to always be on my toes when he was around, because he promised for the feud to be over. I finished my cereal and put the dishes in the dishwasher and I looked at Nick.

"I know you want to talk to him, just knock on his door." He laughed.

"Are you sure? I mean I don't want to overstep and just piss him off, ruin the small friendship we have." I smiled.

"You won't," Nick looked back down on his phone.

I took a deep breath and he yelled for me to come in. I opened the door slowly and then shut it again behind me.

"Hey, can we talk?" I asked him.
