"Hey, hey baby you've been on my mind. I knew you for a long time."

She sings along to words that fill her ears. The sweet voice of his. The boy from San Antonio, Texas. Austin. With 4 best friends. Alex, Robert, Zach, And Tyler.

They're the only ones that take her pain away. The pain of the punches, slaps, and kicks. All coming from her boyfriend.

She thinks, Why'd he have to turn out this way? He was so sweet before. Why'd it have to be me? What did I ever do to deserve this?

Suddenly, two arms snake around her waist. She immediately turns around to see his face. The abuser. The one that's hurts her. The one that makes her life hell.

"Get your dirty hands off of me, John!" She shouts in his face.

She thinks, Shit, that was a bad idea.

Oh boy was she right.

She feels a sting on her left cheek. Her eyes begin to water, but she fights back the tears. Stay Strong, she thinks. That's what Sarah always says. She must stay strong. Not for herself, but for the Mahomies. The Crew. And Sarah.

"Look at me you little bitch," he commands, but she doesn't obey.

She feel another sting, but this time on her right cheek. She turns around and runs away hearing him yell her name saying lies like he was sorry or he didnt mean it.

Nobody knew about the pain Natalie went through. She hid the bruises with makeup. She hid the pain with a smile.

In went her headphones once again as she strolled to her home in Austin, Texas. She listened to the angelic voice sing.

"I see you walk by extra fly. Baby, where you goin? Can I roll?"

Arriving home, she checks twitter. Seeing all the mentions she has telling her to stay strong. She smiles and a tear falls down her cheek. A tear of joy.

"@naatlee_mahone Stay strong for us!"

"@naatlee_mahone You got this under control. You'll find a way out. #StayStrong"

Those are a couple of the tweets she sees. But one more seems to catch her her eye. The tweet from Sarah Wright.

"@naatlee_mahone Hey, I heard what you're going through. Everything will be alright, all you have to do is #staystrong. If you need to talk sometime, DM me. I'll do my best to help."

With that, Natalie smiles, lays on her bed and within minutes, is in a deep sleep.
