We were sat on the bus and j was staring out the window thinking of Marie. Our argument went a bit far and now I was hurting deep inside, like I was being stabbed a thousand times... Leaving Marie behind is the hardest thing I've ever had to do and her words make it worse...

"Here." Isac pulled out a blanket from his backpack and wrapped it around me. I stared at him and he smiled kindly.

"Thanks but it's yours.."

"No. Have it. You need it more than I do." He smiled again and I stared out the window again. The journey was silent and I was still wondering where we were going. I felt very sleepy and I drifted off.

I woke up with my head on Isac's shoulder and looked up at him, his head was dead against his chest and he was asleep. I could hear his breath as he inhaled and exhaled quietly...

I stared out the window to see we weren't in Finland anymore... I stared out the window, watching all of the things we passed. I snuggled up under the blanket as it was really cold and then remembered that it's Isac's blanket so I lay it across him as he was still sleeping and tucked my knees up to my chest, hiding my hands in my sleeves.

I grabbed my phone and went onto my Twitter.

"How was your day?" I asked my followers and got a few favourites and retweets as I had active followers due to Isac following and always answering me. A lot of my followers answered my question... One of them asked me a question which I had no idea how to answer...

"Have you met Isac?" What do I say to her? Yes? But then she'll want proof... I ignored her and went onto my snapchat. Isac's head fell on my shoulder and I stared down at him... He was so peaceful... I placed my hand on my heart and snapped a picture adding it to my story with the caption:
"Sleepy head"

I noticed Isac had updated his story so I clicked on it and saw a picture of me with my head on his shoulder... He was staring down at me with a cute expression so I screenshot his picture and stared outside again. The journey felt like it was lasting forever... I felt Isac fidgeting and he lifted his head up, our eyes connecting.

"Sorry I fell asleep on you." He shyly apologised and hugged the blanket, then realising he has it.
"You have me the blanket?"

"Yeah. You were asleep." I shrugged and hid my hands in my sleeves again, hugging my knees.

"Are you cold?" He asked me and passed the blanket back onto me.

"Oh no I'm fine." I refused but he lay it on me again and I hugged it, staring down shyly...

"So why are you running away?" I asked him to break any awkward tension. He hesitated and didn't answer...

"My dad kicked my sister Marie out..." I started as I knew he wasn't going to answer.
"He tried kicking me out too but my sister threatened him so I still live with him..." I paused. "He's... Abusive..." I hesitated.

"You don't have to tell me this..." Isac's voice was soft as he tapped my shoulder gently.

"He... Always abuses me that's why I have bruises everywhere... It was usually only three times a week but now... It's gotten worse." My eyes were stinging.
"Now it's every day... Every hour... Every second... When I'm home." I started to cry and Isac wrapped his arms around me pulling me into a half hug. I buried face in his shoulder and he rubbed my back.

"It's okay. He's not with you now it's fine." I pulled away from him, his arms were still around me and my arms were squashed against his chest.

"I hate seeing my sister suffer this way with no home. I tried taking her to a hotel to stay at least one night but they wouldn't take her. They wouldn't fucking take her, how could they be so heartless?" I hit his chest softly and he pulled me into an embrace again... I was crying really hard now...

Isac rested his head on mine as he rubbed my back.

Heyy.

Isac is cute right? ;) They are cute. Next chapter soon.

Bye.
