First Day of Preschool

Hunter's POV

It's my first day of preschool and I'm kinda scared. I hope my new best friend Stephanie is in my class with me.

I sit on the rug with the rest of the kids. I watch the door hoping Stephanie will walk in any minute. Finally she's comes in with her mom. "Stephanie!" I call excited and run to hug her tightly. She hugs me back giggling. "Hi Hunter." She said. "Come sit with me." I said. "Ok." Stephanie said and turned to say bye to her mom first.

Once she finished and her mom left. I grabbed her arm and pulled her to the rug. "Ow Hunter." Stephanie said. "What's wrong?" I asked sitting down with her. She rolled up her sleeve to show me a big bruise on her arm. "My brother Shane hit me cause he said I was bad." Stephanie said. I look at the bruise and gently kiss it. "Thank you." Stephanie said her cheeks red as she pulled her sleeve down. The teacher came to read us a book and I grabbed Stephanie's hand holding it.

No one's POV

As the years went on Hunter and Stephanie grew closer as best friends. Shane's abuse of Stephanie got worst as Stephanie got older and Shane got into drugs and alcohol. Hunter did his best to help Stephanie but there wasn't much he could do. He tried to keep her safe and protected. She often stayed at his house. Now they are both 16 and juniors in high school.
