Beth's P.O.V
I plonk down on my couch. I grab the tray from the coffee table with my dinner on it. I'm super tired and looking forward to my noodle soup. It's simple but amazing.
I turn on the T.V to the news. I take a few sips at my soup when I saw something truly horrifying.
" Teenage boy who has been classified as Mason Clark was abused half to death. His younger sister Emma realized something was wrong when her father left the room and Mason wouldn't move. She called the police and Mason was rushed to hospital. The father has been identified as Julian Clark a formal husband to Maya Green and father to Grace Green, who abused both."
I dropped my spoon in the dish and tiny little splashes of soup flew out. I place the tray back on the coffee table and sprint upstairs. I grab my phone, my hoodie and twenty bucks. I run downstairs and grab my skateboard.
I throw my skateboard on the ground and start skating as fast as possible. I almost get hit by a car three times. I finally reach the hospital and run to the girl at the reception.
" Mason Clark?" I huff, trying to catch my breath.
" Are you family?" She asks.
" No, his girlfriend."
" Sorry take a seat please."
I sigh and take a seat at the waiting room. What if he didn't make it? What if he is dying right now?
" Beth?" A small voice called out.
I turned to see Emma.
I embraced her in a hug.
" Oh my gosh, your okay," I say, squeezing her tight.
" Yeah I'm fine," she says, breaking the hug.
" What's going on? Where is Julian, what about your home?"
" Dad is at the police station. They men said we are going to stay in an orphanage for a few months. Then Aunty Julie and Uncle Jackson are coming to live here and we are gonna live with them."
A year slips down my cheek. How horrible. Emma is only four. Young and her mind is frail.
" Don't cry please," she sniffs, looking at the ground.
I put my hand under her chin. Her eyes were filled with tears. An other tear slips down my cheek.
" Emma," I sigh pulling her in a tight hug.
We both cry in each other embrace before we break the hug.
" I'm quite hungry do you need any food?" I ask.
" No, I have a room here until Mason gets out, I get delivered food. Thank you though," she says playing with her hair.
" I'm going to get some, want to come?" I ask.
" No, it's dinner time soon. Thanks Beth, I'll see you later," she says hugging my leg and disappears in the maze of wards.
I go to the small cafe area and get a coffee and a bagel with bacon on it.
I bring the stuff back to the waiting area. I see Jace with red eyes.
" Jace!" I yell.
He looks up at me with sad eyes.
" Jace," I say more softer.
He pulls me in a tight hug, making me feel a little more upset.
" I should of done something. I was a idiot."
" No you weren't Jace. Don't think like that."
" What if he is dead. It's my fault!"
I could feel tears springing my eyes. What if he is dead.
" Jace," I say, trying to hold back tears.

I wake up by someone shaking me. It was dad.
" Honey, it's 11:57, lets go home," he says.
I look around. It wasn't a dream. My boyfriend was beat half to death.
I felt really gross. My hair was messy and my eyes were red and puffy. I could see Jace had left.
" Are you okay?" He ask, looking over st me from the driver space.
" I don't know," I answer honestly.
My stomach growled. I never ate that bagel of drank that coffee.
•••
I walked to my locker, I could feel hundreds of people's eyes on me. I open it and see a picture of Mason and so kissing. I press my finger on his face and blink back a tear.
" Hey," a sad voice said.
It was Raven.
" Hey Raven," I chocked.
" Aww Beth," she says, putting an arm around me.

Lunch was so different. Not having to hear his perfect British accent. Not being able to tell him terrible puns. But just thinking about him made me sad. I miss him. I really do.
