Abby's P.O.V

I was walking home from school regretting that I had kissed Luke. Now he's gonna think we're together or something.

I see Luke sitting on my doorstep waiting for me. He stands up and smiles when he sees me.

"What the hell do you want?" I snap at him. He looked confused.

"Abby aren't-"

"No we aren't dating! I hate you Luke and I hate everyone!" I shout at him. I try to walk past him up my steps. He grabs my arm and turns me around.

"Why do you keep acting like this?" he said looking down. I sighed. Guess it's time to tell him the story of my shit life.

"You wanna know?" I said annoyed. "Then fine come in."

I unlocked the door and we both say down at the kitchen table. I started.

"So when I was 3, I had this great family. My Mom, Dad, Ava, and me." I said feeling hurt remembering everything. "During that year my dad died in a car crash, and ever since my mom kept drinking and soon became an alcoholic." I sighed. Luke held my hand, I looked up and he was looking at me sadly. "She kept throwing things at me and Ava and hitting us, cursing at us. Ava every night would tell me when she's 18 she's finally gonna get us out of there." I said now my eyes watering. "She got a part time job at 15 and she kept working before school. This went on until I was 6, when my sister came home from school finding me in a pile of my own blood." I said Luke already tears streaming down his face. "Ava was 18 by then and she decided enough was enough. She took a bag, put my clothes in, grabbed her money and we ran out. While Ava was still packing our stuff in the car, it was around 8:00pm and I took Ava's phone." I said my eyes red from the tears. "I called the police, and I said that my mom hits me and throws stuff at me and keeps drinking bad stuff. I think they understood and came to our house. 3 minutes later they came out with my mom in handcuffs. Turns out they also found drugs in her bedroom. She's still in jail now, I don't even refer to her as my mom, I refer to her as Bella. Bella Joyce." I said looking down. "She's the reason I hate everyone, so that's the story of why I act like this." I stood up and so did Luke. He hugged me.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through that," he said crying by now.

"Yeah, me too," I said quietly

"Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"You're the only person besides Ava who knows."

"I won't tell anyone."

"You better not, or you'll wish you had never met me, Hemmings."
