Leah's POV
I trudged up to the bathroom after hearing the first snore come from his disgusting mouth. Closing the door behind me, I broke down again.
I peeled a wet washcloth apart and set it slowly on the bruise fully formed on my arm. I lifted my shirt a little to find the leather marks with inklings of blood lining the small crevices. At least it wasn’t the buckle.
After cleaning up, I walked to my room. It was time to do a live performance, my one for the month. I always do one, and ‘daddy dearest’ has had his bottle of vodka for tonight, so I should have plenty of time. He wouldn’t care anyways; if I didn’t show up until morning. As long as I’m there to make his breakfast…
I grabbed my laptop and set it right outside my window. Then picked up my guitar and headed for the woods.
Harry’s POV
I shuffled out of bed just in time to click ‘Join’ on the laptop screen. She was doing a twitcam! I quickly plugged in my headphones and sat quietly. It was 2’am but I refuse to miss a thing this girl does.
“Hey people! How are you? Rhetorical question, like every week.” She giggled, and I melted a little farther.
“So, I think this week I’m going to sing a song near to my heart. The person I’m singing it to has no idea what I’m doing, or that I’m worth anything. All of you are worth the world, don’t ever forget that. He just needs me to take care of him. I’m going to be singing Painting flowers by All Time Low, so if you know it sing along, I guess. By the way, I love you to daddy.” Her face drooped while saying the last word. She was too young to be sad, too beautiful to cry.
“When I wake up, The dream isn’t done. I wanna see your face, And know I made it home. What more can I do? I am still painting flowers for you. I am still painting flowers for you.”
Whoever her father was, whatever her father did, I wanted to just tell her it would be okay. I wanted to protect her. I wanted to save her.

So, All Time Low is a really great band. You should check them out!
This is really weird, because I wrote this chapter on a computer (I usually write on my iPod). I just hope ya'll like it :)
Stay Beautiful,
