Emma pov
Zack stared at the newly found bruises on my body, the look in his eyes I couldn't tell what it was, was he disgusted by me?
He dropped down on his knees, he was honestly about my height now well to my shoulders
He gently hugged me. I had my hands resting on his arms.
"Zack?"
"I am going to get you out of this I promise"
He said, muffled, pressing his face into my chest
He looks so defeated, is that how I look?
My stomach hurts so bad it so much worse than normal. I don't know why he's acting like this, I can't even recognize him
He didn't move or attempt to,
Zack?
"We gotta get to class" he said letting me go and getting up
"Are you okay?" I asked
"Are you seriously asking me that?
It makes me sick that you're so calm about this
It just reminds me how used to it you are"
" i'm sorry"
"you have no reason to be, you say sorry like you're sorry for breathing, the world should repent for what it's done to you"
Why is he acting like this, He grabbed my wrist. Gently.
"Emma, have you lost weight" he says as we walk through the halls
"Not that I know of" I lied I had but he would be disappointed. Which I don't understand why he even cares. I look fine. I look squishy.
Classes continued as normal. My stomach pain was increasing as the day went on it was probably just a combination of the hunger and the bruises.
Zack pov
I feel like puking, she's so conditioned to act like this is OK, that this is all normal. I mean this is her normal. What the actual fuck she could literally have like internal bleeding or something. How is she so fucking calm? Those bruises were black.
It's crazy. I both want to be wherever she is and wherever she isn't. Looking at her, just reminds me how horrible of a person I am,
why do I do the things that I do? why do I hurt people for literally just fucking existing?
The things that I wanna do to her dad, would make it seem like I belong in a psych ward
Oh and Jackson fuck Jackson he's the one who made Zara insecure she had no reason too be. Ambers gonna brainstorm ideas of what to do.
I just don't know how to handle it without ripping Emma's life apart I go to the police it's gonna be on the news if I do anything it's going to be on the news and then Emma's gonna have a spotlight on Her that's not necessarily ideal, I wanna try and handle it as quietly as I can. Last resort is exposure.
If I didn't think it would like mentally destroy her, it'd be easy I would just do whatever it takes
But I don't think she's in the right space for that
She loves her dad, even if he doesn't give a fuck about her
I think she said she had two older brothers. I wonder if they know, I don't understand how they could, if I were them I would've killed him.
Short page, and then I'll be posting one tomorrow
