I wake up to hear shouting coming from upstairs. I quietly leave my room and sneak up the stairs. I freeze at the sight in front of me. I saw Frank punching Nancy in the face then the gut. She falls to the floor clutching her stomach and curling up into a ball. He continuously kicks her and she whimpers. She is so sweet, she doesn't deserve this, I can't just watch this happen. I stand up and walk towards him.
"Get away from her you dick!" I yell.

"What the fuck are you doing up here!?" He screams.

"Answer me you little brat!" I say nothing.

He slaps me across the face. That's it! I punch him in the stomach as hard as I can, but he acts like he didn't even feel it. He punches me in the face, stomach, neck. I turn around and try to run away, but he grabs me from behind. I stomp on his foot, elbow him in the crotch and when he lets go and doubles over I elbow him in the face. I run over to Nancy, she gets up and runs into the kitchen and I follow.

"Nancy are you okay?" I ask.
"Anastasia, what the hell were you thinking! Thank you for trying to help, but you could've been seriously hurt."
"But I'm not hurt and he could've killed you! We need to tell the police or someone."
"We can't, I've tried, they didn't believe me and it caused me to get a bigger beating. Please get out of the house for a bit. Go out the back door, don't come back until I call you." She said pointing to the door and handing me my phone.

"Are you going to be okay?" I ask.

"Yes, I'll be fine. As long as you are out of his sight."

"Where is my beer!" Frank yells from the living room.

"It's coming." Nancy shakily calls back.

"Get out of the house." She whispers to me. Grabbing the beer and bringing out to him.

I sigh and walk out. I walk down the long dirt road until I get to the town. I aimlessly walk around until I spot a park and head over to it. There are a bunch of little kids laughing and playing and having fun. There are parents talking, playing with their kids or just watching them to make sure they are safe and having fun. I look around and see a boy sitting under a tree with a note book. He looks a little bit like Devin. I walk over to him and sit down.

"Hey, do you mind if I sit with you?"

"No, but I wouldn't be seen talking to me, it's practically a death wish."

"Are you Devin by any chance?"

"I am, who are you?" He asks not looking at me.

"Anastasia, the one who stood up for you at the mall." He looks up at me and frowns.

"Are you okay what happened to you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your lips is bleeding and you have a black eye." Oh I guess Frank hit me harder than I thought. I can't tell him that though. You don't just meet someone and say "ya my adopted father beats me and my adopted mother." So what do I say?

"Umm...it's nothing...don't worry about it, I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Ya. How are you recovering from yesterday?"

"I'm okay, they are usually worse and last longer, but thanks to you it was shortened." He said smiling at me. He's really cute.

"So how long have you been in Oakville?" He asked me.

"4 days."

"You must hear this a lot, but your accent is really cool. Where are you from?"

"I lived in Scotland and went to school in Britain, so my accent is a weird mix of the two.you don't find it hard to understand do you?"

"Not at all. So umm....would you like to....." My phone rang and cut him off, it was Nancy.

"I'm sorry." I say as I answer the phone.

"Anastasia start to come home and get here as fast as possible. Bye dear." She hung up before I could say a word. I turn to Devin.

"I have to go home, but what were you saying before?"

"Would you want to go out with me sometime?" He asked looking at the ground nervously and biting his lip.

"I would love to. Here's my number." He hands me his phone and I type it in.

"I'll text you."

"Okay bye."

I open the door and I freeze before I even step inside. I cannot believe my eyes, I will hurt him, even if it's the last thing I do.
