"I have to tell you something." I said nervously.

"What's up?" She asked as she faced me. I took a deep breath before playing with the hem of my shirt.

"I-um. I....." I stuttered. I closed my eyes before I start to get an anxiety attack.

"What's wrong?" Ali asked as she started to get worried. I felt a lump in my throat as my eyes started to water.

"Y-yesterday when w-we were at the b-beach, I s-saw him." I said shakily.

"Saw who?" She asked. I breathe shakily as a tear run down my cheek.

"I saw A-Adrian. I-I saw him y-yesterday." I said as I broke down crying. Ali started to hug me as I cried on her shoulder.

"Shhhh. It's okay. Everything is fine." She cooed.

"No. I'm scared. I'm scared he will come back to me." I sobbed.

"I know. Me too but I'm right here. He won't touch you ever again. Okay?" She said as she pulled away. I nodded.

"Now let's go get dressed for we can go get frozen yogurt. Just stay next to Matthew okay?" She said. I nodded as I wiped away my tears. She smiled.

"Okay now go." She said as she shooed me away.

I get up as I walk over to my closet and pick out some clothes. I go into the bathroom to wash myself and change.

Adrian was my abusive ex boyfriend. We dated for a year and he was sweet at first. Like the perfect boyfriend. Months after months he became more aggressive. He kept on yelling at me and threatened to hit me. But he did anyways. I would end up with bruises and scratches but hide them with makeup.

Alicia found out and told me to call the cops. That time I was so stupid in love that I denied it. I didn't call the cops. Then one day, he was at my house and I was disagreeing with him that got him mad. He pulled my hair as he was punching me. My mom came home and saw him hurting me.

She called the police and the cops arrested him. It took me awhile to move on but I did. I still have some scars from him but it's nothing bad. He's been in jail for 2 years but I saw him yesterday. He was supposed to be in jail for 5 years but I guess someone bailed him out. I don't know if he saw me but I saw him. Then we went home while Cameron looked for Ali.

After I finished taking a shower, I put in my outfit. (The picture is hers and Ali's outfit) I did my hair as I put my bandana on. I did my makeup as I put perfume on me. I walk out the bathroom as I see Ali all dressed up.

"You ready?" I asked. She nodded.

"I'm gonna go tell the boys to meet us downstairs. Remember stay with Matthew." She said. I nodded.

We both left out room as we got our stuff. We went downstairs as we saw our step dad. Oh great, now we got to put up with him. Our mother was in the kitchen though, probably making him lunch since he's so freaking lazy.

"Where are you two going?" He asked.

"We're going to get frozen yogurt." I answered.

"Who said you can go?" He asked. I roll my eyes.

"We did. Now excuse us, we have to go." Ali said as she walked toward the door. He glared at her as he went back to watch tv. I quickly followed Ali to get away from him.

As we went outside, we saw Matthew and Cameron coming outside. As I saw Matthew, I smiled a bit. Knowing I get to spend time with him again. I fixed the sleeve of my sweater, making sure it won't show the scars on my arms. Even though I feel hot, I don't like showing my arms.
