Invisible

Chapter 15

I sat stood there against a tee by the lake when Day showed up. He stood beside me and I looked up to see him, his eyes were red like he had been crying, and he had a bruise on his cheek. I just at my backpack down and pulled him into a hug, "Oh Day, what happened? Are you ok?" I asked him as we sat down, against the tree. Day just sat there, "I'm...I'm fine." He mumbled as I looked up at him. Day looked at me and I saw him look down at my backpack, "Ocean why do you have your backpack?" He asked as I look down at my lap. I shook my head, "I can't say." I mumbled as he put his arm around me. I looked up at him, "Ocean you can tell me. I won't tell anyone." He said in a trustful voice. Should I really tell him? No don't tell him the truth."my dad is out of town for the night and I didn't want to stay home alone." I said as chucked a rock into the lake. Day stood up an dragged me to my feet. I looked at him, "Come on you can stay the night at my house. " he said as I picked up my backpack and started walking with him.

I walked with him into a house kinda like mine and upstairs into a room. A guest room I'm guessing. Day took my bag and sat it down on the bed, "Here you can sleep in the guest bedroom." I nodded and sat down on the edge of the bed pain shooting up my hand. I saw Day look at my hand, "Ocean what happened to your hand?" He asked me as I looked up at him. I stood up, "nothing Day I uhh..I accidentally cut it when I was looking for something." I said as we stood there looking at each other. Day grabbed my uninjured hand and took me downstairs, "Mom can my friend stay the night in the guest room? Her father is out of town today for work." Day asked a woman as we walked into the kitchen. She turned around and looked at us, "Yeah sure Day. But I need you to take out the trash." She said as I sat down at the counter. Day nodded picked up the bag and walked outside, "so what did he tell you?" She asked resting her elbows on the counter. "Well he told me..his dad hits him and uhh he doesn't have any friends. I'm his only best friend." I said as she looked at Day as he came back inside. "Day I want you to take Mouse for a walk." She said handing him a dog leash. He nodded and leaned in, "I'll be back soon. I still need to take to you about what happens to your hand." He whispered in my ear leaving the kitchen.

His mom turned back to me, "His dad hasnt done that in 5 years." She said as I placed my hands on the counter, "You also are his only friend." She said handing me a bottle of water. "Thanks." I mumbled taking a sip. "His father left 5 years ago. I'm his step mom. " she said as I looked towards the window. I sighed, "he lied to me..." I said as I held back my tears. She turned and turned something in the stove off, "sweet heart he must've done it for a reason. Now would you like to eat dinner with Day and I?" She asked getting out 3 spoons and bowls. I nodded and took them from you, "sure and here I'll help you set the table." I said taking the bowls and spoons to the table. She smiled, "Well thank you."she said filling the bowls with soup, "I really appreciate it." She said as Day came into the room. His mom went back into the kitchen and he came over and hugged me. I hugged him back then smiled, "what's that for?" I asked sitting down beside him. "Just for being such an awesome best friend." He said as his mom sat down and we started eating.

I ate about a bowl then sat there watching Day and his mom eat. I helped clear the table then heading upstairs to the room Day was letting me stay.
