I woke up with an arm wrapped around my waist and a sleeping George next to me. I shot up and all of the sudden remember what happened. I was about to get out when George grabbed me and pulled me back to him, being careful of course.

"We are skipping school today, go back to sleep" He mumbled pulling me back down to lay down.

"Why?" I asked knowing damn well why.

"You know damn well why" he said and I laughed before snuggling into him and falling asleep again.

About 2 hours later I woke up again and George was still asleep. God damn football players slept a lot.

I shook him awake and he groaned before rolling over. I got up and went to the bathroom looking at myself in the mirror and seeing my bruises. I put my head down and close my eyes trying to get the tears to go away.

Suddenly, an arm wrapped around my waist and my head shot up only to see George behind me. He rested his chin on my head and smiled at me through the mirror.

He grabbed an extra toothbrush from under his sink and handed it to me. I brushed my teeth and brushed my hair, looking better than I did when I woke up.

I walked into the room while George was still brushing his teeth and I grabbed my phone.

No text from my dad? He's probably at a bar with his friends and passed out there.

I threw my phone on the bed and put my hair in a ponytail knowing I didn't have to hide my bruises anymore so there was no point in keeping it down.

"Breakfast" George said grabbing my hand and pulling me downstairs with him.

I laughed and followed him downstairs where Maria was making breakfast and Lily was sitting at the table.

"Good morning" Maria said turning around and smiling but that smile turned into a frown when she saw my face, then she looked down at my arms.

I crossed my arms across my chest attempting to hide them but Lily turned around and jumped from her chair and onto me making me groan but I just ignored it.

"Vivian! What are you doing here?" She asked when I picked her up and placed her on my hip.

"I-"

"She was just having a sleepover with me" George interrupted knowing I didn't know what to say.

"Oh!" Lily said and giggled when I tickled her and put her back down in her chair.

"What do you guys want for breakfast?" Maria asked turning and smiling at us.

"Whatever you are making mom" George said and I nodded in agreement.

Lily finished eating and Maria sent her upstairs to get changed.

"So what's going on?" Maria asked placing our plates in front of us.

I turned to George for help and nodded for him to tell her, "Her father, he's been hurting her. I'm not letting her go back" was all he said before Maria was already hugging me tightly.

I hugged her back before pulling away. I wasn't really sure what to say so I just cut up my pancake and moved it around to make it look like I ate while Maria and George talked.

"Well you can stay here as long as you want" Maria said looking at me.

"That's really nice of you but I wouldn't want to intrude" I said.

"Nonsense, you wouldn't be intruding we would be glad to have you here and Lily loves you" she smiled.

"Yeah maybe" I sighed and she went upstairs to go help Lily.

"Here" George said getting up and picking up my fork with pancake on it, "Yes I noticed you just pushing it around"

I opened my mouth and he fed me until half the plate was gone and I refused to eat more.

"We are staying in today, and you are relaxing" he picking me up making me wrap my legs around his waist and laugh.

He brought me upstairs and set me on the bed before laying next to me and groaning. I laughed and he smirked before sitting up against the headboard and turning on the tv in his room.

He turned on batman again but it was a different one. I just watched and laid my head on his lap while he stroked my hair.

"Are you okay?" He suddenly asked and I looked up at him confused.

"I mean after everything you've been through, which i've only just seen, I can't imagine how much more has happened, you seem okay. Happy" He explained.

"Well i'll tell you now that this is the most he's done, other than the time he brought his friends over and they used me as their personal punch bag but that was the worst. It's always been him cutting my wrist, kicking me in the stomach, breaking a few ribs, punching me in the face. It just all seems normal" I told George.

"Thats not right, it shouldn't feel normal to be beat up by your dad. How come you aren't more upset" He asked still playing with my hair.

"Because it's the alcohol that made him that way, when he's sober he's nice. He acts like a real dad, so i'm not upset because that's the dad I know. Not the one who beats me"

"He doesn't remember he beat you when he's sober?"

"Nope, and it doesn't matter to me"

"But why?"

"Because that's the dad I know, the one I love, the one who was there before my mom died"

George nodded and leaned down to kiss my forehead. I blushed and turned back towards the tv and he laughed.

I got a text and grabbed my phone off the night stand.

Dad: Where are you
Dad: Come home now

I showed George the text and he grabbed my phone typing something in before handing it back. I read the text.

Me: I'm not coming back
Dad: What do you mean

I turned off my phone and put it on the charger and just relaxed into George.

"Thank you, George"

"No need to thank me, Viv"
