(Clove pov)
I wake up to here my father shouting at me, he said to get dressed and get down here. I nod my head as I run upstairs to grab a pair of Capri leggings and a shirt and sports bra. I take his and my laundry down and make breakfast for the both of us. He of course is getting some alcohol out of the fridge, he yells at me to go put some makeup over my bruises on my arms. I nod my head as I ran upstairs to grab my concealer, I realize that I only have a little bit left, I tell him that of people ask I say that I tripped on the way to training, he nodded his head and said to me, "you better, I don't want to have to throw you up against walls again." I stumble at the word again.
[flash back]
It was the night before Valentine's Day, my dad and mom, we're both still alive. I had gotten home from training and when I walked in my father was drunk, more than usual, he took me and threw me up against the wall I came tumbling down I blacked out, I woke and my father was sober. He apologized, I lied and said I forgive him.
[end of flashback]
My father was yelling at me to go, the slapped me in the face really hard to leave a bruise on my face. I realized that I get to see my best friend and crush, Cato Hadley, he doesn't know about my father. I would really like to tell him but Catos big and buff, buffer than my dad. He could take him down in a minute, and I don't want the rest of my family to get killed... I finish and take the laundry downstairs, after I get it in the wash I run upstairs grab my gym bag, and my knife bag. I walk up a hill by all of the Victorian houses, I always stare for a bit. I know it seems like I have the biggest hopes and dreams, but I don't. I know I earned the abuse I get for a reason. But I wish I wasn't getting it.

Catos pov
I wake up to the smell of pancakes, and fruit, I head down stairs after throwing on my training clothes and grabbing my sword bag and gym bag, and then I grab an apple and head to the training center, where I'll get to see Clove Sevina, my best friend, and maybe sometimes when she's all feisty and stubborn, especially when she's throwing knives, I have a crush on her, then the other boys who like her get in the way. I know she's depressed, I don't think she cuts but if she does she hides it well. Her father has never been the nicest person but I don't think she hates him, but she does get quite a bit of bruises, but she says that she's just a klutz and falls out of trees and falls down stairs, but I believe her. I once followed her home, her dad saw me and treated her the nicest he's ever treated her, she looked weirded out but ignored it. I knew something was going on after that. After I finally reach the training center Clove is always there before me, throwing her favorite knives out of her like 100-150 knives. I surprise her by throwing a knife and missing the target, she turns around and I see a big black and purple bruise across her forehead. I see that she notices that my mouth is dropped open, I ask her what happened. She said she tripped today. But she has bruises everywhere I know deep in my heart that that's not why. I know her father, but I want her to come to me. I won't go to her. She doesn't earn any abuse she's getting, if she's getting it, and if I ever catch it, her fathers gonna wish he had never touched her. One of the boys walk up to her and ask if she'll go out with him, she Denys, I let out a sigh of relief. The boy, is Erick Allen.
