Mason's P.O.V
I watched her walk inside. She was so beautiful. Her brown hair was tied neatly on a pony tail. The rest of her was like a rebellious teenager. She had stopped on her tracks and was staring at me. I turned my head and saw the most popular guy on school, Miles. Okay, she was looking at me. She dropped her books as I walked past so I backed up and crouched down.
" Are you okay?" I ask in my British accent.
" I, uh, yeah. Yeah I'm fine," she replied.
" I'm Mason Clark, you are?"
" I'm Beth Morris. Thank you."
" Anytime. See you 'round!"
I say and walked away. She was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.
❤️❤️❤️
Jace and I were chatting in the back of the class. I glanced at the door and did a double take. Beth was standing there, looking really shy. The teacher and her talked and the teacher pointed to the empty desk next to me. Beth smiled and walked towards me. I couldn't help but smile to myself. It took so much in me not to look at her. The way her dimples show when she smiles the slightest. He eyes were green like emeralds. The whole lesson I couldn't stop thinking about her. The bell rang signalling us to get the fuck out of the classroom. I wouldn't mind. We picked up our books and we were leaving Beth came up to me.

" I'm glad you're in my class. I was so scared!" She said, looking me in the eyes.

" I'm glad you're in mine too," I smile. She smiled and walked away.

I sigh and walk out of the classroom.

❤️❤️❤️

I unlocked the door to my house to find my drunk father lying on the couch asleep. I rolled my eyes and walked to Emma's room. She was hugging her teddy tight and rocking back and fourth.

" Emma, did, did dad h-hurt you?" I say, tears in my eyes.

She nodded hesitantly. I moved the teddy away revealing a bruise on her arm. She was only four. My father is a monster.

" Emma, come here," I say opening my arms.

She runs into them and I held her. She cried softly. I couldn't help but cry too. My father constantly hurt us but I wouldn't dare touch him or call the police. If we do, I'll be separated from Emma. 

" M-Mason," She whimpers.


" Yes Emma?"


" Can you read me a story?"


I smile and pick up her favourite story. She laid her head on my chest and I read to her. After the story was finished she was asleep. I put away the book and tucked her into her bed. I placed Bubbles, her toy elephant, next to her. Luna, our dog came hurdling in to the room and jumped on my bed. I walked over to her and patted her soft fur.


I walk downstairs to see dad drinking something. He tried to say something but I ignored him and started cooking some food for Emma and I. I got out some Mac & Cheese and cooked. Once I was done I got out some dog food in a bowel and walked upstairs with all the food. I woke up Emma and handed her some food. I placed down the dog food and locked the bedroom door so dad couldn't disturb us. 


I flicked on the old TV and put on some kid show. I flicked through my phone. I found Beth's instagram and I smiled. I followed her. A few moments later there was bashing on the door. Emma looked at me with startled eyes. I shooed her and Luna into our closet and locked it. They will hopefully be safe in there. I unlocked the door and my dad walked in.


" Where is my car keys," he slurred.


" You are not driving when you are this drunk.


" Where are my car keys," He said more stern.


" I'm not telling you!" I said.

He pushed me into the window, making the blinds shutter. He shook the closet doors. Luna started barking. I still had the key in my pocket. I could here Emma screaming. She was safe, safer than me. He gave a punch on the wall and left the room. I locked the door behind him and opened the closet. She ran out crying. I cried with her. I miss having mum around.
