I ran inside, I could hear my dads footsteps behind me, I tried running upstairs but he yanked on my arm, I turned around, the last thing I saw was the red in his angered eyes as he lifted his hand and slammed it against my cheek, his strength knocked me over, the right side of my cheek was numb, I felt it pulsing and my right eye was giving me a blurry vision. I held my hand against the red mark.
"You don't understand do you?!" I heard my dad yell, I layed on the floor crying holding my cheek, before I knew it, he slammed his hand against my left cheek, the pain burned so much. I heard him yelling and mumbling, I couldn't make up what he was saying, my face burned like hell.
"Oliver! What are you doing?!" I heard my mom running down the stairs, she caught a glimpse of me crying on the floor, then started yelling at my dad, I couldn't stand all the yelling, and the pain, I needed to get away from here, I got up while my parents were yelling, Oh gosh, I'm still soar from earlier, can this get any worse. My parents were busy arguing, I ran outside.
I walked down the street, sobbing, why is everything so screwed up? I just want a normal life, with supportung parents... I guess I'm asking for too much. I heard a car pulling up behind me, I recognized the car, it was Harry. He stopped next to me, and ran out the car.
"Amber?!" He caught a look at the red marks on my face. "Oh god, did he... did he.. hit you?" he nearly whispered as he put his hands over the marks on my face, I flinched at his touch. I nodded, and I saw the worry in his eyes. He pulled me in for a tight hug, he had the scent of vanilla and cologne, I needed this right now, someones shoulder to cry on.
"How did you find me?" I said between breaths. He pulled away from the hug.
"I knew something would go wrong... I'm so sorry, this is my fault" He pulled me back in and hugged me even tighter. In a way it was his fault, but I also should've never gone with Tommy, It's both of our fault.
"Don't blame yourself" I mumbled into his chest. He rubbed my back and rocked back and forth slowly. I pulled away.
"I, umm.. I need to get back home." I wipe away my tears
"You're crazy amber, I'm not letting you go back there, you're not gonna get your way this time, I'm sorry but no" He shook his head and looked me right in the eyes... more like my red puffy hurt eyes. I knew I couldn't get away from this one this time, so I just nodded my head. "You can stay at my place ok?"
"Ok" I whispered.... He walked me to the passenger seat in his car.
He got in the drivers seat and instantly broke the silence by turning on the radio, country music? He began singng along to Luke Bryan.
"This is my first, love song, first time I felt the words, First time I sing along!" He sang out, not caring if I was in the car, I couldn't help but smile at how beautiful his voice was.
"You like country?" He asks with a huge grin.
"I love country!" I was so surprised, a guy like him, the whole 'bad boy' image, he liked country.
"Surprised?" He asked looking at me then back at the road.
"A little bit" I giggled, he smiled back at me.
"Who's your favorite country artist?" He asked
"Luke Bryan!" I say.
"No way? I love luke bryan! Whats your favorite song?"
"Tailgate blues!" I excitedly answer.
I saw him pull out a CD, and put it inside the stereo.
'I catch my buzz, in the black of the night where nobody ever goes
