Samy's POV:

Hayes and I were becoming the bestest friends that I ever had. My other friends that I had in Sheffield were not really my friends. They made me do thing that I was mainly in trouble for so that's why my dad made us move here. It okay but I did have a best friend there but she turned on me when I left.

I get off of my bed and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. It was a Saturday and Hayes made plans for us to hang out. I get out of the shower and put on my clothes. I walked out and sat on my bed. I brushed my hair and let it dry by itself. I put on my socks and walked downstairs. I was finding my shoes that I lost last night. I found them underneath the couch. I put them on and waked back into my room. I grabbed my phone and my soccer ball. I was on the team for the school. I walked downstairs and my mom walked in. I stopped halfway through the stairs. She looked drunk and she was. My dad had left her because she was coming addicted to drugs and alcohol when she lost her job. So it was just me and her.

"Hey where do you think you're going huh" She said
"I'm going outside to kick around"

She was passing out standing. I quietly walked around her and open the door. I closed it slowly and walked off. I kicked my soccer ball till I was by Hayes's house. I knocked on the door and I seen Nash open it.

"Hey is Hayes home"
"Yeah. HAYES ITS FOR YOU! So what are you guys doing today"
"Probably go to the park to play some soccer then walk around"
"Boring how about movies and dinner or dinner then a movie"
"Nash it's like 1 and this is not a date"
"Mhm sure"
"Hey Samy hold up let me get my shoes"

He walks out and we began to walk to the park. I kicked the ball and we started running for it. I got it and kicked it away from Hayes.

"Goal!" I shouted
"Beginners luck" Hayes said
"Beginner. I am not a beginner"
"I am"

I laughed. We kicked the ball around for an hour. We were sitting at a bench and he decides to get ice cream. I stayed here and he left. I went on my phone and he came back 10 minutes later. He hands me one and we started eating. I got up and threw away my trash and so did Hayes. We walked around the park. We had to go back home since it was getting dark. We get to his house and I said bye. I walked towards my house. I quietly open the door and peaked my head in. She wasn't in the living room. I walked in and closed the door. I walked into my room and turned on the lights. I put my soccer ball down and took off my shoes. I heard a door open and close. Crap I turned off my light. I peek through the open space between my door. The hall light turned on. It was my brother.

"Samy it's me Matt. I can't remember where your room is again" He said

I open my door and ran out. I hugged him and he hugged me back.

"Hey how's my baby sis"
"Not so good"
"Let me see"

I showed him my bruises on my stomach, back, legs, and arms.

"Why couldn't dad take you"
"I don't know but I'm really mad at him"
"I am too. Where she at?"

I shrugged.

"You hungry?"
"Starving"
"Come on I'll take you somewhere to eat"
"Okay let me put on my shoes"
"K I'll be waiting outside"

I walked back into my room and put on my shoes. I grabbed my jacket and put it on. I closed my door and walked downstairs. I locked the door and got into his car. He started driving to Taco Bell. He knows me well.
